Another random idea: make gui scriptlets for selecting units, items, buildings, etc... and then sort-of standartize scripts to accept parameters from them. Sort of like you have a script that makes a creature immortal then using gui would be as simple as gui.dialogs.unitSelect(immortal) (ofc it will have more parameters, like what is acceptable what is not...), also some chaining to allow selecting two units (e.g. makes one unit follow/ride the other), maybe a unit and a few items?

The script itself could accept some generic parameter pack (e.g. selected={units={unit1,unit2,...}, items={item1,item2,...}, syndromes={},...} and then the rest parameters.
This way it would be more modular, and gui friendly.

What's the hack to stop migrants bringing their entire extended families with them? I just lost a fort to starvation due to getting flooded with useless kids on the first wave.

there is an lua script that can designate monarchs:

hack\scripts\make-monarch.lua

I think to work it just hit k select a dorf and run the script

Yes!  Worked like a charm.  Thanks ORCAACommander!

The citizens of Gloombitch overthrow their evil Drow leaders and reestablish a true Dwarven blood monarchy.  They have survived! .... for now.  (MWHAhaahahahhahhahhahaahah)

kinda want to see the legend entry for that

so no one has any idea why revflood is crashing me df?

Warmist: I could download the script, make a lua, add a "start/enable scriptname" and then call it by running a reaction in a workshop, using /COMMAND and SCRIPTNAME in the syn classes, while having an animal person pastured on the workshop... but would it work? Anything else I would have to do?

Unrelated, here another question: Would this work? I renamed the steam engine, dont know if the script can still find it or not.

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:STOKE_BOILER_KOBOLD]
[NAME:Produce steam power]
[BUILDING:STEAM_ENGINE_KOBOLD:CUSTOM_S]
[SKILL:OPERATE_PUMP]
Dimension is the number of days it can produce 100 power * 100.
I.e. with 2000 it means energy of 1 job = 1 water wheel for 20 days.

Obviously you will need to modify the script a bit (now it has fixed race). There is no need for start/enable scriptname, you should be able to use /COMMAND SCRIPTNAME to do it. Also no need to pasture animal men, it searches through all (your) units and replaces dwarf jobs with another worker.

The only command for this sort of thing that I know about is fix/population-cap.  That just immediately applies your ini file's pop cap though.  Is there really a command that prevents dwarves bringing family members?

[Mr S]

I haven't seen such a family oriented hack if it exists.  Sounds like a job for the DAS!!!!!

[expwnent]

DAS?

[ORCACommander]

well confirmed my problem was because df ran out of ram. use a large address aware exe to fix

[expwnent]

Smaller world sizes can help a lot with RAM usage and save/load time.

In adventure mode, anyway of getting a pick with dfhack?

D.A.S. = Dwarven Atom Smasher

Dwarves were harnessing sub-atomic physics before harnessing sub-atomic physics was sexy.

Is there a way I can teleport all my livestock to their pasture? They were there for the longest time, but suddenly they'd decided to come to the dining hall to starve to death.
