I heard there was a tool that permitted creature respawn, because my current fort is out of cavern creatures and i'm pretty damn sure I didn't hunted them all to extinction, considering how like only 2 GCS ever spawned on my map, and the population number is far higher.

ANy ideas why im allways getting the error message "could not move xxx", it usually happens to stones and i dont understand why.

[Telgin]

There is nothing proper in linear loops . Use df.historical_figure.find(id) and df.unit.find(id). Also, if run from hack/script/ and not via legacy dfusion, core is always already suspended.

That find method is certainly simpler than what I was doing.  As I mentioned before, my experience with Lua is completely confined to those scripts, which also represent the entire breadth of my DFHack knowledge.  It's good to know that the core is always suspended for Lua scripts, that would also explain why this didn't crash DF like I expected it to before I added the suspend call.

Looking at the "marry" and "divorce" scripts, you're missing one important thing: historical events; the 'marry' script should add a pair of history_event_add_hf_hf_linkst entries so Legends will report them having been married, and the 'divorce' script should similarly add a pair of history_event_remove_hf_hf_linkst entries (which, if I recall correctly, will actually show up as "X divorced Y" in Legends mode).

I saw something about those in df-structures, but since I pretty much never read Legends mode and really only cared if it worked in Fort mode it was good enough for me.  Still, it pays to do it right I suppose.  There are a few more tweaks that could be added to the scripts (such as upgrading lovers to marriages instead of just letting a dwarf have both...), so when I get to fixing that I'll see about adding the Legends mode data.

[Putnam]

So, uh, can anyone have a looksie at this here script I wrote and see if there's anything odd? I'm not going to be that confident in this business until I write ~5 or 6 of them...

Code: [Select]

[c-- Gives power level of selected unit. Type "popup" for popup announcement.

end

return false
end

end

end
return 1
end
function getBoost(unit)

--power levels should account for disabilities and such

--I have to declare the individual skill's numbers, including these here makes the program easier to read

--blood_max appears to be the creature's body size divided by 10; the power level calculation relies on body size divided by 1000, so divided by 100 it is. blood_count refers to current blood amount, and it, when full, is equal to blood_max.

With autodump?  Helps to say what you're doing.

With autodump, if the item is forbidden or already has a task generated for it (like someone coming to move it to a stockpile, or someone coming to grab it for some job), then it will stay there and give that error.  In the case of it being a task, then the item will forbid itself and the task will fail, and then you have to reclaim the thing.

[WillowLuman]

Oh, no, it's not.  That's the historical figure id of whoever you told it to marry.  That's specific to each world and whoever it is for.  In this case, that just means that one of the two you were trying to marry had a historical figure id of 6965, but the number of historical figures currently in DF's memory is less than 6965.  That could be either because DF doesn't load them all in adventure mode, or because they lose the 1-to-1 relationship of index associated to historical figure id I was relying on.  That worked in my world, but worlds that have actually had gameplay happen in them may invalidate that.

Actually, the id's I tried to use were 2465 and 2414, which was why I was perplexed at 6965. Maybe I mistyped the first one?

I'll test the updated script right now.

EDIT: seems to work in adventure mode so far, only glitch I've seen is the "Marrying and " doesn't show names (but it calls for nicknames right?)

[Mikesullivan]

Thank you, it looks like that was the problem (dwarfs was trying to use that rock and i cant autodump because they are going to get it already).

[Telgin]

That's correct.  It's just a diagnostic message though, and I didn't want to fool around with translating the compound names if DFHack doesn't do it for you.  The 6965 sounds like it's right.  What's happening is that you enter the unit ids 2465 and 2414, which are then associated with historical figures which use different ids.  So 6965 was the historical figure id of one of the two units you provided.

I don't see anything obviously amiss, but my Lua is very green.  The only thing that looks suspicious is the way you're treating the arg variable.  Is it not always an array?  You might want to use

Code: [Select]

local args = ...
if args[1] == "popup"

instead of

Code: [Select]

local arg = ...
if arg == "popup"

Does it work as is?  I may be completely mistaken in the way Lua treats this variable.

[Putnam]

It works as-is. I figure that it doesn't need to be an array if I only have one argument.

[Telgin]

Hmm, interesting.  I guess accessing the array in that manner silently accesses the first element?

Anyway, is there any way to use the Lua API to set up a repeating event?  Something like the workflow plugin?  It looks like the workflow plugin is registering a callback of some sort that is called every frame, but I didn't see anything like that in the Lua interface documentation.

If that's not possible, then I guess I'll have to write the "family planning" plugin I want as a C++ module.  I recall Quietust writing earlier in the thread VS2012 won't work because of the runtime.  Is that because DFHack's precompiled binary uses an older runtime, or because Dwarf Fortress does?  I'm guessing it's the latter, which would mean rebuilding all of DFHack in VS2012 won't fix the problem.  Guess I need to find a computer to install an older version of VS on.

Or I could just write a buggy plugin that leaks memory, I guess.

[Quietust]

Dwarf Fortress uses the MSVC 2010 runtime, therefore DFHack (and all of its plugins) must also use it.

It would be theoretically possible for DFHack to use a different runtime, but you'd need to jump through a bunch of extra hoops to get it to work. DFHack-23a and DFHack-40d did this, and I had to write special versions of malloc() and free() (as well as operator new/delete) which used DF's own heap handle instead of the one in the C runtime.

The problem is that that technique wouldn't work very well with 0.31 and later since the heap handle is located inside msvcr100.dll, meaning you'd have to find its load address without actually allocating any memory on the heap (which would require a whole bunch of special logic); it worked in 23a and 40d (with difficulty) because they linked against the static version of libc and were non-relocateable (so I could just hardcode the address of the heap handle).

[TigerHunter]

I am having difficulty getting DFHack to run on OSX.

I extracted the files into my DF folder. When I double-click on "dfhack", it opens terminal and dwarffort.exe but does not start the game.

Double-clicking "dfhack-run" opens another terminal window that displays "Segmentation fault", then logs out and declares the process completed.

The readme has not been updated to include the new OSX version, can anyone help me? I have no idea what I'm doing.

[expwnent]

Here's a little script I just cooked up to give proper spouse/parent last names to dwarves in the fort (only works if spouse/parent is actually at the fort), for those who like having family names.  Valid arguments are nothing or 0 for a patriarchal lineage (wives and children get father/husband last name), or 1 for a matriarchal lineage (husbands and children get mother/wife last name).  I just cobbled this together, so it's nothing perfect, might be builtin dfhack functions to do some stuff that I did, but I don't know cause there's very little documentation I could find on the properties and methods associated with each class, so I just had to go by key,value pairs to find properties and worked from there.  If anyone wants to do any improvements to it, that's fine by me.  Not even sure this would actually change their names in legends or what since there seems to be a separate historical id.

Oh, and does anyone know how to update the names when viewing unit status without giving them a nick and then removing it in game?

Does all of that and more: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=112381.0

Alright Telgin, new script successfully results in marriages, but when the woman is impregnated using Dfusion, the child still does not belong to the father ("father is lost to history"). My guess is that the script needs to set the lover_id as well as spouse_id. Needs more testing, though.

The dfusion impregnation might be at fault here.
