Getting a similar problem with the same input.  "bad argument #3 to 'timeout' (function expected, got nil)".  If I'm reading it right, it's something to do with "repeatscript()"?

Spoiler: Current code (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

-- repeatedly calls a lua script, eg "repeat enable 1 months cleanowned"; to disable "repeat disable cleanowned"

repeatingScripts=repeatingScripts or {}

args={...}
function repeatScript()
    local script = function()
        local t = {}
        for i=4,#args do
            table.insert(t,args[i])
        end
        return t
    end
    script=script()
    dfhack.run_script(table.unpack(script))
    repeatingScripts[args[4]]=dfhack.timeout(tonumber(args[2]),args[3],repeatscript) -- just here, I think
end
if args[1]~="disable" then repeatScript() else dfhack.timeout_active(timeout[args[2]],nil) end

Also:  how do you have a different profile pic every time I refresh?  It's been teasing me ever since I noticed...

Change "args = {...}" to "local args = {...}", "function repeatScript()" to "local function repeatScript()", "repeatscript" to "repeatScript", and "timeout[args[2]]" to "repeatingScripts[args[2]]".

well I haven't dabble in eventful or item syndromes but I think it's possible to make a creature that infects someone and latch on it's infected host. So you could add more fun in special ways.

In the next version, syndromeTrigger will allow at least part of this. It triggers dfhack commands whenever someone becomes infected with a syndrome for any reason. Hook that up just right and you can probably do some cool stuff.

probably do some cool stuff

This is the biggest understatement I have ever seen.

Any Fun ideas?

Yes, Sir

Now works perfectly, at least for 'force'.  I got a siege with 340 invaders, which dropped fps 80%...

Is there a way to sort your inventory items in adventure mode?

The sort-items function isn't working.

[Mohreb el Yasim]

Could it be editable how random creatures are generated during worldgen? (or to modifie them after worldgen?)
(if there are easiely accesible data on those parts for DFHack)

Is it possible to paint with tiletypes above ground level?  I can convert the ground level outdoors to anything I want, but when I go up a z-level stuff like the walls below have no floor above them and I can't paint any floors or walls, even with the filter set to any or air.

Is there some way at all to fix this?  I'm trying to fix up the area above ground for a megaproject and I'd rather not set dwarf speed to 0 just so they can make a bunch of non-rough walls by digging up a world layer underground since I can't find a proper location to embark at normally.

[Telgin]

I believe map sections above ground aren't actually allocated entirely until a construction is built nearby.  I ran into odd behavior trying to move units up in the air, and that was the explanation given to me.  I believe the map is chunked into 16x16 tile sections for this purpose?

I'm doubtful that there's an easier way to fix that than to build nearby.

[Mr S]

I've been able to successfully paint a set of walls, then a floor on top of them with tyletypes above ground.  It worked fine at least in the first 2 z levels above ground level.  However, if your embark wagon z level is already the highest solid z level in the map, that may make for issues.  I cannot confirm.  I typically embark on at least moderately hilly areas for FUN.

Sky areas are not allocated until you build in them normally. Have your dorves construct a staircase in the general area you want to do stuff, then you can use tile types there.

The infiniteSky plug-in should do what you want (or at least did when I used it back when it came out)

[expwnent]

That actually does something slightly different. It doesn't actually allocate sky blocks. It creates a place for unallocated sky blocks to go for higher z levels than exist before it was run.

[WillowLuman]

Speaking of which, I'd love a script to actually allocate more sky blocks. I hate it when my flying adventurers get mauled by crocodiles because there's no Z-level to flee up to. Only towns and mountains reliably offer vertical refuge...

Thank you all for the excellent help.  Love it when the technical bits are explained so you know WHY you have to do something rather than just that you need to do something to bring about a solution.

[Mr S]

Quick question. (May not lead to quick answers.)

In the bug report for Bug 6364, Urist DaVinci posts the following binary patch to correct the divide by X rounding number issue:

0x006C8BE2 : 89 b5 f8 14 -> d7 c5 6d 34
0x006C8BEE : 0D -> 0B

That's for the Win32 v0.34.11 SDL

Is that in a format that can be used directly in a .dif file by the binpatcher.exe file packaged with DFHack?  Or does it need to be in a byte by byte format one line at a time?
