DF Modding / #NightS RAW Applications#

« on: March 09, 2012, 08:34:48 am »

I have VERY recently started learning python (4 days) and i have wanted to do for some time applications to ease modders their task, and now i can do it effectively:

I present you the NEMC (NightS Easy Metal Creator)
At first it was a script in batch, very limited and not very effective. Now it is in python and you can use it without any problem.
This will probaly be the first of a series of utilities similar to this one so you can manipulate raw files easily.

Link: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=5825
Source: If you want to see it ask me for a link and i will send it to you

Enjoy!

EDIT: Overwriting wipes the entire file, do not do it except if you really want to. Just in case.

EDIT: Link to the old thread in case someone is interested: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=90725

EDIT: v0.2 released!

Creative Projects / Python metal creator help

« on: March 09, 2012, 07:19:28 am »

Some time ago i made a metal creator in batch and now that i "know" how to program in python (this is my 4th day)
i have made a python script that makes a metal in a file from some parameters you give it.
It is done and it works if you don't introduce letters where you don't have to, but i have a problem after that.
Before i can post it in the mods subforum i have to make it a .exe so people can use it without installing python.
I have tried py2exe and followed all the instructions it gave me but i cannot manage to make it a .exe.
Does someone know any other way to do it or can do it for me?

P.S.: I'm using Python 2.7

Here is the code:

Thanks in advance.

General Discussion / Weirdest dreams ever

« on: September 06, 2011, 02:28:16 am »

Wel, i just woke up today with an "Are you kidding me?" directed to my brain.
This is a dream. I cannot remember any details, but i remember 2 things: I was half aware of all the dream, and i had another dream after that. After awaking. Then again. And again...
A dream within a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream. No kidding.

What has been your weirdest dream that you remember?

To use it: Paste it in a .txt document, save as *put name here*.bat

Try it and report any bugs ^^
Also, one little problem: The metal names don't appear in caps, so you'll have to modify that manually

Roll To Dodge / High difficulty game: AIpocalypse [Looking for people!]

« on: July 17, 2011, 03:11:03 am »

First: GURPS based, not exact rules. You dont need to know them. Uses Xd6 dices, hidden rolls (to keep this funny)
Second: This is going to be REALLY difficult, you can die in just 1 shot, and a handgun shoots 3 times per turn, so be VERY careful.
Third: I expect this to live a bit more than the game i created in the normal RP forums

I have recently acquired a lot of GURPS sourcebooks and i'd like to make a forum game with them. 4 players.

Setting: Terminator-like future, but more futuristic, you are members of the rebels waiting for their first mission. You only have outdated weapons and body armor. The enemy has superior weaponry and armor, but you are a specially trained elite squad.
As soon as we start you will recieve a briefing.

4 players, admitting 4 more on the waiting list.

After you post it i will tell you your perks and all that stuff. You can tell me to change them if you don't like them.

Using lots of books, so turns may take a bit long sometimes. I will try to make them at least 5 or 6 times a week. Good game!

DF Suggestions / Extra function for stockpiles

« on: July 16, 2011, 10:04:01 am »

I think it is pretty, simple: You create a stockpile for metal weapons of low quality and another for weapons of high quality. Then you activate a function that makes that all weapons put in the low quality stockpile are designated for melting. You can also mark a function to auto-forbid, auto-dump... what do you think? It is fairly simple and can lower the micomanagement in some areas.

DF Modding / Solution for exploding projectiles?

« on: June 24, 2011, 03:44:36 pm »

Right now exploding projectiles sre pretty unreliable because of temperature variability between biomes (not the same in the jungle (explodes in your face) than in the artic (does not explode), duh) but i thought: Nethercap* quivers? Nethercap* gloves for throwing? Would it work?

*(Or something colder)

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / How can i make this work (or does it work): Awesome traps

« on: March 17, 2011, 10:53:36 am »

I want to make something like a flamethrower and i had some ideas. Have a look at them and tell me if they work of if they dont (and, if possible, how can i make them work). Ok here we go:
Notes: Temp off while putting hot bars/grates, hot materials are modded in with a high fixed temp

Code: [Select]


1.- Magma flamthrower:
Plan: Putting some horribly hot grate/bars in front of a magma safe screw pump so the magma evaporates into "gaseous magma?" and any goblin near it gets totally bunt.

2.- Stone cooking chamber: Something like a flamethrower, but more like an incendiary bomb
Plan: Something like this:
=#=
#|#
=#=
being = walls or fortifications, # fortifications and | a hot floor grate or hot floor bars

3.- Walking over fire:
Plan: Floor grates made of hot material in a hallway. Just that.

4.-Dwarven pressure cooker or dwarven geyser:
Plan: Seen from the side:
             
#######=7
.......=7
7777777X7
==========

Where # is a hot floor grate/bars, 7 water, . empty space, X a floodgate or door and = walls or floor if down.

What it does is making water rise suddenly and evaporating it in contact with the grates so the enemies will get cooked in seconds :D

Post your ideas and test mine if you can because i can't test them right now (my good pc is broken

)
