Is there anywhere I can find a list of all the existing eventTypes?  I have a script I'd like to run when a caravan is about to leave, as well as some other circumstances.  Eventful's enableEvent(evType,frequency) says it can do that, but what's the event type?

https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/blob/master/Lua%20API.rst#eventful

You may notice that that doesn't actually contain the event table, meaning the event table has to be found manually through lua.

Any idea how to go about doing that?

[Putnam]

printall(require('eventful').eventType)

[expwnent]

Oh. It was supposed to. Thanks.

[Warmist]

Oh i thought there was a block for event manager (including docs about it)

OK firstly thanks to Putnam, you corrected a marriage script for me ages ago (sep or so) and Ive got it to work successfully now.

Ive spoilered all that spiel out as I think ive found a script to sort this.

There are however a couple of problems im still having.

Firstly when I have used the script successfully, the names of the dwarves are not outputted, it says marrying <gap> and <gap>. Im not sure if thats a problem in itself or if the dwarfves names are supposed to be displayed but the relationships screen does not report wife/husband for the lovers I successfully married. It says lovers still. They do now however share a bed, which makes me think they are married and that the relationships screen is not reporting it correctly. Ill possibly have to ask the author of the script what should be happening.

Anyway all the marrying ive been doing lately (mostly without the script) Ive encountered another problem.

Ive used "tweak makeown" to grab 4 dwarven caravan guards to marry off the last few singletons in my fort. Basically I think they dont have historical figure records as this is whats reported by marriage script when I attempt to use it on the ex caravan guards.

exact output
"The historical figure for the first unit was not found."

That(first) corresponded with the "stolen" member of the marriage pair.

They also seemed to take a long time to make friends and I cant seem to progress any of them to the lover state. Also they dont have any deities listed on their relationship screen.

Is there anything I can do about the lack of historical records ? Is this wholly to be expected when I steal a caravan guard and try to use it this way ?

Any comments either way are appreciated.

Thanks

EDIT the stolen units also cannot be assigned to military squads. I would have been better off not stealing them

[sirdave79]

nevermind, ive found, I think its Kurik Amudnils (subject to checking and editing) script which fixes most of these problems.

Ive used it on my recruits and they now list civ membership (didnt before) and can be assigned to the military. Seems to hold a noble position too but I didnt check that before (presumably they could not).

Ill report back if they can progress to being married.
cheers

be warned, that this method of adding nemesis is crashy. Meph reported that after a season or two game crashes. Moreover it has power to corrupt saves.

[Meph]

I am willing to test again. ^^

[Boltgun]

Tweak makeown is old afaik.

Makeown.lua worked well on invaders so I guess merchants should work as well.

[sirdave79]

Ill keep an eye out for corrupted saves over the next few years.

Of the 4 couples that had stolen spouses, 2 of the couples "stuck" at friends seemed to go to married within minutes of applying the script, almost as if "chats" were saved up.

1 of them was at lover and the remaining one still friends. I have yet to see them get married.

What is the purpose of the "Nemesis" entries anyways? What do they do that isn't redundant to the unit or historical figure data?

As far as we understand, they control how unit data is stored in unit-*.dat files in your save directory. They are also where the game stores permanently which units are your current or past adventurer, and who its companions are.

[sirdave79]

2 years down no sign of any problems so far. I guess the next 2 will be more important.

what exactly are you doing with the nemesis lines? Spawn creatures? Thats what I tried, make creatures that enter noble/military positions.

[sirdave79]

I just used the script I linked for some dwarven caravan guards id used the basic "tweak makeown" dfhack command on because they wouldnt marry. Thats why I stole them in the first place to match up my remaining singletons with a dwarf of the opposite sex and the right age.

A marriage script reported to me that they didnt have historical records. Also their relationship status seemed stuck on "friend" before aplying the script. They naturally married after application and reported civilisation membership in their preferences screen (they didnt before the script).

Then I noticed the stolen dwarfs couldnt be assigned to a military squad.

Someone said a nemesis record (never heard of them before now) was needed for a dwarf stolen from the caravan this way to occupy a noble position. Cant remember if this was also needed for military squad assignment but again the script seems to have fixed all my problems.

I just have to hope my data/save is safe. Im trying to run it fast with a backup save to go back to, to see if it stays stable so im not too invested in a game 5 years down the line thats no longer viable due to the hacks and scripts ive used.

Hopefully that menas I wont have a problem.

EDIT also my ability to know if i have a problem or not will likely be severely lacking.
