https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/releases/tag/0.2.1 might also work, or http://dethware.org/dfhack/download/

Thanks, I had downloaded that before, but your link also had the source code, which I didn't have.

Heh, even after looking at the source code for buildingsdump.cpp, and dfitemdump.cpp, I can't tell what input the programs are looking for !

Well dfitemdump, at least says that you can enter 'q', or the "helpful" phrase (or) " anything else to look up items at that location".

What does it mean by "anything else" ?   Is it looking for a valid "item / item name ?"

I tried just pressing enter, and it crashed.

As for buildingsdump, I gave it 'building_lever 1", for args, and got back a bunch of hex numbers. What are they ?

The main thing I want to use dfhack for is to trace where levers and traps (pressure plates, gears), etc are linked together.

I'm looking around for the "offline vs2010" installer, I had awhile ago to try to build the "new" src that Quietust posted.

There are no dfHack Windows binaries in that download.

Although the thing is a native c++ structure, the lua bindings are so flexible that usually you don't care. Depends on what you want to print, but it can be as simple as:

Code: [Select]

for i,point in ipairs(df.global.ui.waypoints.points) do
    print(point.id,point.name,point.comment)
end


Thanks, that's just (about) what I needed.

I was able to guess at  point.pos.x,point.pos.y,point.pos.z from your code

Ok, found the code in gm-editor.lua / function GmEditorUi:pushTarget

Thanks for the hints on what to look for.

Oh wow... I'll give you kudos for that. That file is unreadable :|

Heh, trial and errror  .... every now and then a "blind animal finds ...."

I know a tiny bit of Lua, the rest I "google".

While using gm-editor works for producing text output, I still have to interactively "pick" / edit an entry for it to be "dumped" to the console.

There should be a way to just iterate over all the notes in a script and dump them out.  Well that IS, sorta what the interactive editor is doing (one at a time).

It looks like the df.global.ui.waypoints.points "thing" (native C++ structure) needs to be transformed into a lua table, for the data to be extracted ?

I've copied the pushTarget function to a new file, and I'm trying to get it work "non-interactively", but I'm still "groping in the dark"

printall(df.global.ui.waypoints.points)
gives :

0                        = <ui.T_waypoints.T_points: 00000000346E0550>
1                        = <ui.T_waypoints.T_points: 00000000346E0730>

Not quite as "pretty" as I'm hoping for

print (~df.global.ui.waypoints.points)
.scripts/p.lua:56: attempt to perform bitwise operation on a user data value (field 'points')

Which version(s) of DF is supported ?

Well I "found" the "camouflaged" levers off to the right of the main structure.

But without dfhack-etc, purely trial and error (fun ?) now to figure out what lever does what

I implemented an 8-bit adder-subtractor using Jong's logic design.  It works very nicely.

How do you operate it ?

I see some screw pumps on level 150 and doors on level 149.

Are they supposed to be manually activated ?
