Hmmm, how do moody dorfs come up with them?

[expwnent]

Toady has code that we do not. We can only call DF code under very special circumstances with vmethods.

Yar, I was poking around through their little brains earlier and there's just no artifact name listed until they do it. Well, guess I'll see if I can get a way for it to insert a string for the name when called.

As a test I put this in at the end and it worked properly:

Code: [Select]

if args.name then do
  fake.name.first_name = args.name
  fake.name.language = 0
  fake.name.has_name = true
         end
      end
Made a weapon named Buttscratcher and a shield named Armybreaker as expected, I was gonna see about having it parse and split up the string but then I realized I was being derpy and I can just have it call up a prompt and populate that with the name options can't I?

[Putnam]

Didn't notice the name-making code in sparking.lua, eh?

[Max™]

Hmmm, I did not apparently, gonna check it out.

Can you use modtools/item-trigger with the hardcoded jewelry, or only with items that have subtypes?

It doesn't look like that would do what I was thinking of though, which was trying to do a similar trick you did with hack-wish except populate the prompt with say, word, forms, racechoice, translated word, move to next part of name or something along those lines.

[Putnam]

Haha, yeah, quick check of that tells me you may want a proper viewscreen with a proper searchable list for that. 2172 words means paging through is killer. It shouldn't be hard at all to get a list of every valid part of speech for a word, though, since word.flags[part_of_speech_num] tells you whether it's valid.

I suspect it doesn't but I'm not sure.

Yup, I was looking to see how to pull up the viewscreen_layer_choose_language_namest, my first try did get a new screen pulled up but my naive attempts at populating it by just copying the entries and whatnot from the adventurer name choice screen didn't quite work.

Incidentally if I do get this working right I'll just make it a standalone script that targets stuff like gm-editor does since it seems like the sort of thing that would be appreciated for a lot more than just artifake-ing stuff. Figure that way I can release it on it's own and still have the option to call it with the -name flag from artifake.

But, I'm beat, fixed the gf's chromebook last night (incidentally if a c720 freezes, try opening it and removing the battery/ssd, then release and make sure the hinges are on properly so the lid switch works) and had to remove/replace a sheared bolt on the leafblower mount. Brain is frazzled.

[expwnent]

That would be great!

[mifki]

If I correctly understood what you're talking about here, there's a trick, try this one-liner:

Code: [Select]

a = df.new(df.viewscreen_setupadventurest) ; a.subscreen = 3 ; gui = require 'gui' ; gui.simulateInput(a, 'A_RANDOM_NAME') ; gui.simulateInput(a, 'A_CUST_NAME')

[DragonDePlatino]

What are the tiles like LavaFloor1, LavaWall and LavaPillar? I assume they reference obsidian? That would be kinda weird considering there are already Mineral tiles...

[Putnam]

Not really, considering that there are also Layer tiles.

[DragonDePlatino]

So then obsidian is supposed to be a StoneWall...? I've tried overwriting those with TWBT but it doesn't seem to affect obsidian.
