How do you use it? I've got blooddel.lua in the plugins folder, but I can't tell if it's done anything because I don't have a trade agreement to look at. I've looked at the lua section of the readme, but while I can run the file I can't do anything with it.

No, you put it in the \hack\scripts folder. Then you can run the command "blooddel" while you're hanging around in the site selection screen. If it worked, your embark preparations menu should have nothing but syrup, milk and poison available in the Extracts category.

also found unit.flags1.zombie .  I don't know how I missed that one before, but strangely these "Corpse" are flags1.zombie == false.
on another note:  unit.flags3.unk21 == missing

That zombie flag is obsolete and not used any more. Also, if you mean discovered/not discovered death, it is stored in a completely different object.

its good to know that flags1.zombie is obsolete.

As for flags3.unk21, it appears to only be true when a person is missing such as when my miner burned to death channeling a magma hole.  Yes it probably parallels discovered/not discovered death.  At the moment, said miner is the only missing unit in my fort, and is the only unit in units.all that has unk21 == true.

*edit:  i suppose I am jumping to conclusions since it just occurred to me that it might represent being on fire instead

**edit:  setting units on fire didn't do it, at least not right away, but units in the smoke cloud seem to be getting the flag after a time.  Some wounded/bleeding, some not.  Will need to see if the flag gets set when walking through miasma or other cloud

[Mr S]

If a creature is lost in a cloud of smoke and not seen for X time, are they counted as missing?

Also, the flames are by tissue/object, not the entire entity.  The dorfs in question eventually die of blood loss currently.

Cool, thanks.

I believe that a unit can only go missing if they die without a witness.  I would like to verify that though.

OK, so I changed the dwarven civ to only have elves as wagon-pullers by editing the relevant vector, and the caravan just arrived being pulled by elves. I didn't have to give the elves any of the tokens that normally causes this. Other amusing things are probably possible by editing the list of resources that a civilization can bring to your fort.

Question about makeown:

I used it on a dwarven caravan guard, but he's not listed as a citizen or member of anything (no blue text in his description). I can force him into a squad using DT and he'll follow station orders, but he won't go and train or put on a uniform, or in fact any clothes at all. He was wearing them at one point, but then dropped everything when I forced him into a squad. Removing him from the squad via DT doesn't make him wear anything either.

Is there any way of making him a full member of the fortress, or does makeown only work for making civilians?

We were trying to make this work over in the ☼Masterwork Succession Fortress: Exultationhexxed☼ game, because migration never started beyond the hardcoded waves. 

Here's my current attempt to supplement tweak makeown by creating a new historical figure record. It's still clearly incomplete.

Code: [Select]

function find_entity(id)
  for ii = 0,#df.global.world.entities.all - 1 do
    if df.global.world.entities.all[ii].id == id then
      return ii
    end
  end
  return -1
end

function create_hist_fig(unit)
  if unit.flags1.important_historical_figure == true then
    print("Already a historical figure.")
    return
  end
 
  new_fig_id = df.global.hist_figure_next_id

  new_hist_fig = df.historical_figure:new()
  new_hist_fig.profession = unit.profession
  new_hist_fig.race = unit.race
  new_hist_fig.caste = unit.caste
  new_hist_fig.sex = unit.sex
  new_hist_fig.appeared_year = unit.relations.birth_year
  new_hist_fig.born_year = unit.relations.birth_year
  new_hist_fig.born_seconds = unit.relations.birth_time
  new_hist_fig.curse_year = unit.relations.curse_year
  new_hist_fig.curse_seconds = unit.relations.curse_time
  new_hist_fig.anon_1 = unit.relations.anon_2
  new_hist_fig.anon_2 = unit.relations.anon_3
  new_hist_fig.old_year = unit.relations.old_year
  new_hist_fig.old_seconds = unit.relations.old_time
  new_hist_fig.died_year = -1
  new_hist_fig.died_seconds = 1
  new_hist_fig.name:assign(unit.name)
  new_hist_fig.civ_id = unit.civ_id
  new_hist_fig.population_id  = unit.population_id
  new_hist_fig.breed_id = -1
  new_hist_fig.unit_id = unit.id
  new_hist_fig.id = new_fig_id
 
  civ_link = df.histfig_entity_link_memberst:new()
  civ_link.entity_id = df.global.ui.civ_id
  civ_link.link_strength =  100
 
  fort_link = df.histfig_entity_link_memberst:new()
  fort_link.entity_id = df.global.ui.group_id
  fort_link.link_strength =  100
 
  new_hist_fig.entity_links:insert('#', civ_link)
  new_hist_fig.entity_links:insert('#', fort_link)
 
  df.global.world.history.figures:insert('#', new_hist_fig)
  df.global.hist_figure_next_id = df.global.hist_figure_next_id + 1
 
  unit.flags1.important_historical_figure = true
  unit.flags2.important_historical_figure = true
  unit.hist_figure_id = new_fig_id
  unit.hist_figure_id2 = new_fig_id
 
  newhist_loc = df.global.world.history.figures[#df.global.world.history.figures - 1]
 
  df.global.ui.main.fortress_entity.histfig_ids:insert('#', new_fig_id)
  df.global.ui.main.fortress_entity.hist_figures:insert('#', newhist_loc)
 
  civ_index = find_entity(df.global.ui.main.fortress_entity.entity_links[0].target)
  df.global.world.entities.all[civ_index].histfig_ids:insert('#', new_fig_id)
  df.global.world.entities.all[civ_index].hist_figures:insert('#', newhist_loc)
end

unit = dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit()
create_hist_fig(unit)
The guards, when converted, will:
- show up in Dwarf Therapist (because their histfig's are listed for the fortress entity)
- can set and will obey labor preferences
- claim bedrooms
- have strange moods
- join squads (not lead them)
- equip uniforms and weapons as soldiers
- go to training
- obey squad orders to attack, move, etc.

The game doesn't seem to break, and in particular, it will keep creating more historical entities without complaint. (Thanks, Ag!)

The biggest problem is noble assignments and squad leadership. They show up in the list to be made a noble, but once you exit the window, the position remains unfilled.

I think that's an improvement over just tweak makeown, but doesn't do everything necessary to truly add the dwarf to the fortress.

or use this: https://github.com/jjyg/dfhack/blob/master/scripts/startdwarf.rb
(paste it into startdwarf.rb in scripts dir)

Thanks, I'll try that.

There was some interest in a lua script that would make the player's civ (dwarven civ) bring barrels of clean water. This also allows you to embark with barrels of water[5]. Dwarves WON'T drink the water directly from the barrel, so modders have to write a reaction for a workshop (say, the still) which transfers the water from the barrels to buckets. Possibly useful for some harsh embarks.

Code: [Select]

local my_entity=df.historical_entity.find(df.global.ui.civ_id)
my_entity.resources.misc_mat.extracts.mat_type:insert(#my_entity.resources.misc_mat.extracts.mat_type,6)
my_entity.resources.misc_mat.extracts.mat_index:insert(#my_entity.resources.misc_mat.extracts.mat_index,0)

Attempting to embark with barrels of magma didn't work, as all I got were barrels full of cold solid material. It appears that all embark materials appear at room temperature.

[Meph]

Urist Da Vinci: I once tried adding poisonous giant mushrooms to the first cavern. You cant distinguish them from the other giant mushroom trees, but when felled they generated an evaporating log that had a slightly-harmful syndrome attached.

In short, cutting mushrooms in the caverns had a little danger attached to it.

The problem I encountered is that the wagon, any wooden embark item, and any wooden caravan item has a chance to consist of this wood. The caravan appears on the map, the wood evaporates, caravans is affected and turns around. Or you wagon deconstructs at embark, same for barrels holding your booze.

Question: Can your script remove this specific wood from a civs embark/trading, so that I can add poisonous mushrooms back into the caverns?

[Hommit]

can someone make script (or point me to tutorial and example) to make hotkey actions on gem stockpile to allow|forbid only certain types of gems according to their value (Ornamental/Semi-Precious/Precious/Rare according to http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Gem) ?
(not really sire if belongs here, point me if i wrong plz, thx)

[Quietust]

There isn't actually any in-game designation for ornamental/semi/precious/rare - all you have is the material value, which is enough for the stock raws (all ornamental gems are value 2-10, semi-precious are value 15-30, precious are value 40, and rare are value 60).

Those categories actually existed back in the old 2D versions (0.23.130.23a and earlier), where they were used to determine how deep into the mountain they were placed and were also the only way to restrict stockpiling of them (i.e. it was impossible to have a stockpile which only stored rock crystals - no matter what, you would also get turquoises, aventurines, and rose quartzes).

[Hommit]

So there isn't any easy way to designate stockpile to certain value-types of gems? this is really sucks(

[Mr S]

Value type, no.  But you can assign only specific precious stones by name.

So, you could have the nice ones go to the stockpile linked to the gem cutting workshop that only allows Skilled and above gem cutters/setters.  Then another stockpile that takes all the crumby gems linked to the "training" gem shop.

That was the idea, yes.. but checking about a hundred of gems, unsorted alphabetically/by value/in any way, in small interface window, for atleast 3 piles... uhhh, no. just no
maybe only rares for artifacts...

hmm... is plugin for sorting gem list by material value possible?
