Hello, I would like to know if there is a command to give a targeted unit necromancy or vampirism.  It could be useful for my experiments.

[luppolo]

is there a way to make dorf under cursor to go berserk?

You can reveal a map and encase all those creatures in obsidian walls. And then pour some magma there:)

Problem is the 0 FPS I'm having because of the creatures. Unless your idea can be done purely with dfhack, it won't work I'm assuming that the painting tool might be able to do it?

I already tried to mod them to burn, but I guess things that are already on the map won't be affected by changes to raws Gonna try reclaiming once more to generate a new breed of exploding creatures. Maybe they take most of the old ones with them...

[Tierre]

You can do it on the pause. With dfliquids. Of course it will take some time to burn them in the magma. But i think that if you drown them in magma and then unpause and wait for 30 minutes - it will help. Well i hope so. Just encasing in the obsidian won't help..... Well you can make a reservoir with magma AND lizards and put some water ABOVE it. This can kill all of them in only few frames. Which will be managamle if wait for some minutes i think.

Undesignate those webs, every designation job causes serious lag.

[Tierre]

Yeah cancel all jobs. Undesignate everything. Unreeval map and make those idiots swim in magma with wate over thei heads. I will diffinately help:) At least it would be fun.

I modded the 20k+ animal people to have a high body temperature and they all burned. Then restored the raws to their original state. Now I just have 20k+ corpses around, and my ram usage goes over 3gb, which is more than I can handle until I get my new RAM.
I think I can work from here, thanks for the help everyone, especially ag who also provided good info to the bugtracker for toady to view when he gets to it. x)

To get rid of the corpses, try placing a dump designation over the whole cavern layer they are in, and using autodump destroy. Note that you have to run the game for 100 frames for it to take full effect.

[Hessuu]

They exist in my base and the outside mixed in with my goodies, since I had to reclaim every time I edited the raws.

EDIT: I suppose I could do it during the embark in which they burn to death... Gonna try.

My game crashes, even with the symbols.xml file. Is this a common issue?

[Hessuu]

Works for me. Did you edit out the parts for other OSes and df versions?

[Tierre]

with wrong symbols.xml dfhack won't load at all. So i guess you either change something bad or it is a game issue. What d oyou do when game crashes? Genning a world for 1050 years with big mods might be the issue if you do it, but you gave no info at all. So can't help until you do.

btw - how can i change a part of my soil layer? I have an embark with 4 biomes on it. But only 1 soil layer with clay. Then i try to change it with CHANGELAYER it changes all of it. And i so wanted to get clay and sand in 1 embark.

The game won't run, but the usual "Wrong Version of Dwarf Fortress"-error does not come up.

I placed a dump designation, used "autodump destroy", and it said "Done. 25725 items marked for destruction", but nothing has happened to the items. I have waited for a while now, and the FPS raised to 4, thanks to the fires stopping, but the items remain for some reason.  Either I'm doing something wrong or we need a "proper" version for 0.34.11

EDIT: It seems the items also need to be claimed. Worked after that. FPS hasn't recovered tho, gonna need to figure out what's going on with that.
