I'm not entirely sure if they have tags at all.

Unless of course you're just talking in raw terms because those are the ones you're familiar with, in which case I guess the term you'd be looking for is flag as opposed to tag.

Thanks, I'm starting by downloading the stuff needed to make cmake work. I didn't find any "downloads" section in the XCode preferences, but I've used the command prompt to compile programs before (and I have used "make install" for a few things).

If things go well I might be able to finish this tomorrow, but I cannot give any guarantees. Delay beyond tomorrow may result in this taking a few days

How many other people here use Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)? Also is this the earliest version of Mac that will run DF or is the earliest version 10.5 (which also runs with Intel macs)?

I'm still using Snow Leopard, and I'd love to be able to use DFHack. For some reason, I can't get it to work under Wine.



Oh, you were talking about Stonesense, wheren't you? I knew I should have read back another page in the thread before replying.

A quick question: Can a building be given the OUTSIDE tag, like furniture or windmills already have? For something thats needs to be build aboveground.

Is possible (for anyone wanting to implement my idea: isPowered vmethod to check if it's outside). Although not with tags (might be e.g. building name token) because there no "OUTSIDE" tag and df discards all the unknown tags afaik.

Yes, I did mean flag in this case. I know no such tag exist, but at least I was understood. And good news that it is possible.

In that case I would like to request a plugin that makes all buildings with building_id "OUTSIDE_" to get this flag. If that is not too much work of course. I can never tell ^^

Nope thats not too much. I'm thinking maybe we should implement additional "raws" e.g. "something.raw" file(s) with similar to raw syntax (e.g. [BUILDING:MASON][OUTSIDE][NEEDS_POWER][ADD_REACTION:MAGIC_BLOCKS][REMOVE_NATIVE_JOBS])

[expwnent]

Hm. Is that the way syndromes normally work?

Yes, as those get [SYN_CLASS:WEREBEAST/VAMPIRE/ANIMATED_CORPSE] in order to prevent someone repeatedly getting the same curse or getting both lycanthropy and vampirism. If you want a syndrome to target all members of one species regardless of curse status or undeath, just give it [SYN_AFFECTED_CREATURE] and nothing else. Those curses won't disqualify if the syndrome doesn't have any disqualifications specified.

Then I'll fix it. Thanks for letting me know.

[Deon]

Expwnent, when can we get a working release with the "definitely will affect" boiling stones you have a beta of? I can't wait to use it .

[expwnent]

I think there's going to be a new release within the next few weeks. It should be included then.

Does anyone know of a script to trigger a siege or megabeast attack? I have a 15-year-old fort that's never seen an encounter larger than cave crocodiles. I am getting bored with just human and elven caravans (for some reason they don't care that none of their merchants ever come back).

[Quietust]

Megabeast attack:

Code: [Select]

df.global.timed_events:insert('#', { new = df.timed_event, type = df.timed_event_type.Megabeast, season = df.global.cur_season, season_ticks = df.global.cur_season_tick } )
Night creature attack:

Code: [Select]

df.global.timed_events:insert('#', { new = df.timed_event, type = df.timed_event_type.NightCreature, season = df.global.cur_season, season_ticks = df.global.cur_season_tick } )
Siege:

Code: [Select]

df.global.timed_events:insert('#', { new = df.timed_event, type = df.timed_event_type.CivAttack, season = df.global.cur_season, season_ticks = df.global.cur_season_tick, entity = df.historical_entity.find(<entityID>) } )
For each of the above commands, you need to type "lua" first.

The "megabeast" and "night creature" events probably won't take effect unless your fortress is large enough.
Also, for a siege you'll need to know the entity ID of your nearby Goblin civilization. If you've killed at least one in the past, you can put "dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit().civ_id" in the above command and then run it while you have said goblin selected in the Units list; if you've never seen one before, then you're out of luck.

Great! Thank you.

How would I set the civ I'm currently playing as? DFusion doesn't seem to have an option for it.

[koter]

It seems that the megabeast and night creature commands do nothing. Lua seems to accept the command, but nothing happens. Is it because there are currently no beasts or night creatures in the world I generated? Though it would be weird since I set evil and savagery to higher than average.
Oh and my fort is way past the requirements for those events. It's currently 270-strong with 5.5kk wealth.

Update: looked it up in Legends. Wow. There was a colossus, a roc and a couple of titans who all died. That's it.
There are some necromancers, though... can I trigger a necromancer siege?

[Putnam]

Evil and savagery don't affect special beasties; you may just have none.

Sorry, edited my last post without refreshing, didn't see yours; you're right, no thrills for this fort. And it was by far the biggest and most successful... such a shame. Well, at least next time I'll remember to check the world I generated before putting in the effort.
Thanks anyway.
