Title: Can DFHack change my Adventurer's handedness?
Post by: Urist Sonuvagimli on September 15, 2023, 09:20:56 pm

DFhack has an amazing utility command GM-unit/GM-editor that allows editing pretty much any attribute of any unit.

Is it possible to change adventurer's leading hand to right (or left) with GM-editor though?

In gm-editor go into body then change weapon_bp. You probably want 8, but you can go into body_plan then body_parts to find the number of the hand you want.

Great, it worked! Thanks a lot, though is there anywhere I can look up the "API" of the DFhack gm-editor? I.e. what values do what. Does any documentation on these exist?

https://github.com/DFHack/df-structures/blob/master/df.units.xml has some comments, and the names are mostly pretty self descriptive, but you're looking at the data as stored in memory, and we don't hav the game code that works on that data, so it can be complex to puzzle out the details.
