Putnam was referring to raw modding, not memory editing.

Shapes are in descriptor_shape_standard.txt. This wiki page might help with materials. If you mean metals or stones, they're in the inorganic_* raw files (also on the wiki, although you're better off grepping the raw files if you want a single/unformatted list).

Does DFHack have any power over the online help viewer? A simple Falconne-type search function would be nice.

just cover up a dug out hole with a bridge or whatever and now you have dark/above ground.

No, cover it up with a bridge and you will get Inside Light Above Ground.

I've read about the stuck "above ground" flag, and I've also read that the "light" flag is inseparable from the "above ground" flag in recent versions. This means that "light" is also a sticky flag then, right?

Both "above ground" and "light" are permanent states - it is not possible through normal means to make a tile become "subterranean" or "dark". The only one you can change is "outside" versus "inside", and that's based on whether you've constructed a roof over it.

What about casting obsidian outside, then excavating?

It will still be Light Above Ground.

Can I somehow plant colonies or hives at a specific location with a specific hiveable creature? Like: Place "ANT_HONEY" colony at x:y:z?

I would like to make a little workshop that spawns colonies of it around it.

Second question: Any way to make hives work underground? I know it makes sense to only have bee-hives aboveground, but a hive of ants could be underground... any chance for that?

FixGrowth and cleanowned basically fix and make 300-Dwarf multi-generation forts playable --> a happy long time user here. Thanks for this great tool!

I have a lua script there that somewhat debugs a unit which should be receiving water/food, but isn't.

misc_trait_type 0 should be called GiveWaterCooldown
misc_trait_type 1 should be called GiveFoodCooldown

Wow, I didn't realize some people already knew about this.
I updated the bug report here: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=2606

Is there a currently script that marks ghosts as slabbed, or otherwise prevents ghosts from appearing?  If not, is it currently possible for such a script to be made?

I am having an interesting issue with my current upgradebuilding script. I am adding the items used in the reaction to the contained items of the new building, and everything is almost working correctly. They items are appearing in the building and they are unable to be used in other buildings/reactions, but when the building is de-constructed they do not appear on the map. Here is where it gets interesting though, you can't see the item, and it won't show in any locations, but if you try and build a new building or run a reaction that would use the item, the dwarf will go to where the building was de-constructed and grab it and use it normally.

Any ideas what might be going on there? I am thinking that since I am actually just creating the reagents over (via, df[]:new()) that there may be a flag I am missing. I am wondering now though, would it be easier to simply grab the items in the reaction itself, and if they have preserve_reagent on them, add them to the building? Is it possible to get the actual reagent from a completed reaction (e.g. <item_boulderst>)? This would save a lot of trouble.

is there a way to reduce embark size after embarking?  Like a dfhack tool that would truncate my land for me.

Everyone who is mad of 30-item manager limit, has a good news. By patching the following offsets in memory:
0x6E61E5    75->EB
0x6E6301    02->03
Your job limit will be set to 999. I think it can be done using dfhack lua scripts. I am not good at lua-scripting, sorry.
PS. These offsets are for non-rebased image of the game (Base 0x400000).

Not sure if it has been talked about, or maybe even already changed, but it would be nice if \WORKER_ID and \UNIT_ID were combined into one, so that you didn't have to distinguish between reactions and interactions when working in the raws.

EDIT: Is it possible to destroy an already constructed building using DFHack? I know I can queue a building for deconstruction, but I was hoping to be able to get rid of the building instantly instead of having to wait for it to be deconstructed in game.

You should probably double-check your patches before you post them to the forum: the first line is bad because the original value is wrong (it's 7C, not 75), and the second line is bad because the address is wrong (it should be 0x6E6302, not 0x6E6301).

Also, this is obviously a Windows-only patch, so it can't be used on Linux or MacOS without further research.

[edit]

Patch for Linux:
0x5239C8 : 0F 4C -> 90 8B
0x523B08 : 02 -> 03

And for OSX:
0x5A5EDC : 0F 4C -> 90 8B
0x5A602A : 02 -> 03

Probably should. Probably. I guess nobody has blown his computer up due to the wrong offsets.
Actual data:
0x6E61E5   7C->EB
0x6E6302   02->03

Of course windows only. Linux & MacOS users can find it themselves as a summer holydays homework.
