Title: Force events ( Caravan) DFHACK dfhack-dfhack-0.44.12-alpha1-Windows-64
Post by: ALT255 on July 23, 2018, 07:18:23 am

I just added the latest Dwarf Hack, and was unable to force a Caravan for much need food.
DFHACk command says to use force -events [event] -civ[civ id]
so I've tried the following:

force Caravan MOUNTAIN

Her's some attempts:


[DFHack]# force caravan MOUNTAIN

modtools/force

This tool triggers events like megabeasts, caravans, and migrants.

Usage::

        examples:
            MegaBeast
            Migrants
            Caravan
            Diplomat
            WildlifeCurious
            WildlifeMischievous
            WildlifeFlier
            NightCreature
    -civ entity
        specify the civ of the event, if applicable

[DFHack]#

Maybe I installed DFHACK wrong?

It's a bug. It's fixed in the next version.

Edit: actually, it's fixed in 0.44.12-r1 (https://dfhack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/NEWS.html#dfhack-0-44-12-r1). The version in your post title (0.44.12-alpha1) is not the latest version - there are two newer versions. This is why you shouldn't say you're using the "latest" version of something in general - it's possible that you missed upgrades.
