These are roughly human values.  Ideally this would check the max age of the creature in question, but I don't know how to do that yet if it's possible.

Code: [Select]

local unitcaste = df.creature_raw.find(value.race).caste[value.caste]
local menopause_age = math.random((unitcaste.misc.maxage_min / 2), (unitcaste.misc.maxage_max / 2))Or something like that.

I've got a unix executable file called dfhack-run, looks like. Is the script in hack/scripts?

No. There should also be a Unix executable file called simply dfhack.

If you are missing that, you need to redownload a new copy.

Ah hah, thanks, that is a much better solution.  I'll work that into my script and test it later today.

The actual menopause age and child cap are randomly decided per mother, with the RNG seeded based on her unit id.

Messing with the global random generator state is not a good idea...

Oh?  Why is that?  I'm only calling math.randomseed inside the Lua script.  Does this have repercussions outside of the Lua interface?  I assumed that it had an isolated RNG, but if it's affecting the state of DF's RNG then I can see the potential issue.  If so I can just find a way to calculate a pseudo random number based on the unit id I suppose.

It so happens that Toady uses his own RNG; however that lua api works on top of the global RNG in the standard C library, so it will affect anything that uses that, including any other lua scripts.

I have a few rng written in lua (correctness not guaranteed)  if anyone needs.

[Telgin]

Right then, time to find a very simple RNG generator to embed in the script.  Or some other simple way to generate random looking values that are consistent for a unit.

If it's fairly simple and generates anything approaching random looking numbers I'm interested.

[ag]

Note also that since afaik the math behind the standard C rng is not standardized in any way, implementing a custom one is the only way to get guaranteed consistent behavior between different operating systems and compilers. This is probably one of the reasons Toady did that - consistent random numbers are critical for worldgen.

Enjoy.
Edit: Usage

Code: [Select]

local rand=Mersenne(myseed) -- or xorShift(seed)
local value=rand:get(min,max)
--and
local deck={0,1,2,3,4,5,6}
value=rand:pick(deck)

Ever since I started using DFHack, people report appearance of "granite" with a sand icon and a weight of 1 urist in food stockpile. Some time later it's gone.

I guess some plugin from DFHack causes it for some workaround, do you know what coud it be?

Here: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=7374

On F2 hotkey there's a food stockpile full of "granite", when you unpause it disappears.

Got that too. But how to open up its code? I feel as if I'm missing something obvious.

Try opening with text editor. It should be a script. Not sure how it works on Mac but in ubuntu it asked you if you want to edit or run it. Also you could just open text editor and file->open, navigate to it and open.

You can open it up with TextEdit, in any of the various ways one opens Mac documents with non-default applications. (The simplest I can describe being to open up TextEdit, then drag the file onto its Dock icon.)

[WillowLuman]

Huh, TextEdit wasn't working before, but it is now. Thanks!

EDIT: And now I know for sure that Dfhack does not work on my ancient 10.5.8 system. Just wanted to test it.
