Help, please: 
How do I get the magmasource script to work?

I've tried downloading the .rb script and dfhack doesn't see it.  Renaming it magmasource.lua and I get errors.

[DFHack]# magmasource here
...l Games\Dwarf\Dwarf Fortress 0.34.11\hack\lua\dfhack.lua:297: ...warf\Dwarf F
ortress 0.34.11\hack\scripts/magmasource.lua:3: unexpected symbol near '$'
stack traceback:
        [C]: in function 'error'
        ...l Games\Dwarf\Dwarf Fortress 0.34.11\hack\lua\dfhack.lua:297: in func
tion <...l Games\Dwarf\Dwarf Fortress 0.34.11\hack\lua\dfhack.lua:287>

it's a ruby script, not a lua script. Renaming it to .lua just made it not work entirely.

[Talanic]

Hrm.  I'm trying to play around with RevFlood but it doesn't work the way I'd hoped.  It doesn't just reveal everywhere that has a path - if there are constructed walls, it treats them as open ground and reveals right through them.

I've already found a work-around for what I want to do - it doesn't look through the obsidian walls I place with Liquids.

I got it, I had to update dfhack

if there are constructed walls, it treats them as open ground and reveals right through them.

That is entirely by design - DF doesn't reveal tiles behind constructions when you remove them, so if you ever tried to remove them and designate something in the unrevealed area, the game would start rapidly spamming "could not find path" job cancellations.

Why exactly did you need to re-hide part of the map, anyways?

I've placed obsidian via liquids to get revflood to hide dug-out areas I'm finished with.

Do bogeymen scale with the player in adventure mode?  I used the stat/skills dfhack script posted in response to my question, and I get 50 bogeymen at night and about 5 pages of text.

Its amazing what instantaneous combat between 8 bogeymen at once can do to even someone with legendary in everything.  It almost seems like it gives the bogeymen speed 0 when I use the make_legendary and boost stats scripts.   Or have I just successfully avoided bogeymen since the latest patch, and they've always been this overpowered even when by themselves?

Personally, I remove Bogeymen from worldgen, given their level of annoyance.  But YMMV!

no their always professional stats. Also not to bad as a race of professional warriors if you assign a civ on to them. though in the current patches bogeymen are some what immune to vanilla resurrection or any general-class poison effects(don't quote me on that info on syndromes) but still have means of learning skills.
if you're out in the cackling you could set all wild civ units to civ 1. then wait out the next morning, or recruit one of the civ bogeys then offload them before the cackling ends.

[WillowLuman]

What if the civ id of 1 matches a human civ you've pissed off though? Or do subterranean animal tribes get the first several civ numbers?

Is it theoretically possible to write a script for DFHack that can change a Dwarf's likes or preferences? You know, to change things like "admires cats for their aloofness" or hatred of snails?

I searched this thread as well as the DFHack and DFusion readme's, but I could not find a mention of this. But I thought it could be possible since we can use it to change skills, stats, and practically anything else about a dwarf.

Also, is it possible to write a .lua or .cpp to detect if a given dwarf has a lover or spouse? I did notice something interesting in "Buildings.cpp": The setOwner function has this line:

Code: [Select]

if (auto spouse = df::unit::find(bld->owner->relations.spouse_id))
So that implies it is possible to determine a spouse. What about lover status?

[WillowLuman]

Ah, well, there is also a lover_id. Don't know what significance it has, though.

[Telgin]

Yep.  If lover_id isn't set to -1, then the creature has a lover.

Absolutely - in fact, I've used it to add new preferences to units back in version 0.31.25 (in a fortress with a king who had no preferences in the first place, in a successful experiment to see if I could get him to make mandates).

[WillowLuman]

Can we set it so someone simultaneously likes and detests a vermin creature? If so, do they come out with a net happiness or net unhappiness from being locked in a room with several?
