There is still something wonkey going on. Here's a 300ish line command, creating an entire "entry" for a fortress.

I PMed you the entire text of the action, so you can take a look at it yourself. I imagine if I work on better placement of the pause, it will work, but that doesn't identify the problem very well.

You will also see why I think multipliers would be good too.

{DOWN**12}
is so much easier then

Thanks for the down 12, forgot to check the old Ini file, I was so busy testing the {Pause} to see if it worked

I got your script to work by inserting some {pause}'s every 20 lines or so.

perhaps you need to increase your timer count

when i ran it

I got 3 rooms, an entry way with 4 pillars and some channels, a 5x4 room with some stairs, and a large room with 2 stairs.

So do you know what caused the weirdness this time?

If by weirdness you mean it bombs out on large sets of commands, that is normal, but can be worked around by inserting {PAUSE}'s to give dwarf fortress time to empty the buffer before the next group of commands are sent.

Computers can only accept so many commands before the keyboard buffer becomes full. Also the pause time you set has to be a large enough time for Dwarf Fortress to process what is in the buffer.

I've take the 5x5 room, set it to repeat 25 times with a pause of 500 and all 25 rooms built no problem. This one from the ini...
[D-Rr-Room SD 5x5]
{REPEAT}
{ENTER}
{DOWN 4}
{RIGHT 4}
{ENTER}
{LEFT 2}
{DOWN}
{ENTER 2}
{DOWN}
{PAUSE}
{RIGHT 4}
{UP 6}

if you are having some other weirdness..then please explain.

Also..did you know you can send Z level commands to make multi-level rooms?

Thx,

Also something to remember
{DOWN 24}
is not 1 command, it's actually 24 commands as far as the program is concerned, so if you use anything large like that, be sure to insert a {PAUSE} tag after it.

Update, added some screenshots to show what DFCom looks like to those not sure how it looks without downloading.

Thx,

[Kogan Loloklam]

Yep, I do:
{ENTER} {UP} {ENTER}  

>

h {UP} {LEFT} {LEFT} {ENTER} {DOWN} {DOWN} {DOWN} {RIGHT} {RIGHT} {RIGHT} {RIGHT} {ENTER} i {UP}

So the weirdness was because there wasn't enough of a pause to clean out the buffer, and when it reached the command of {pause}, it halted sending information to the keyboard buffer, but then resumed, causing some of the commands to get into the barely empty buffer, filling it up again, until the next pause where it cleared out more of the buffer allowing other commands to get in?

That would explain what happened

New version 1.2 April 13. See first post for update text.
