Was wondering if there were any mods which, simply put, incorporated extracted venoms and FB extracts in a way that could be applied practically (either via poisoning food or weapons, for instance.)

Hey, was wondering if anyone knew how to spawn a creature you can interact with via DFhack. There's a lot of strange behavior with the "pet" version that ends up creating un-trainable, un-claimed "tame" creatures.

You navigate through things via enter, find the values you're looking for, and edit them.

Mostly self-explanatory is correct. I can't find any way to create an "artificial" mood like you used to be able to in runesmith. I employed the has_mood flag, set the mood to an appropriate ID, but every time it's an instant "gone-mad." Do you need to mess with the "artifact" parameters prior?

Initiating a proper strange mood requires creating a Strange Mood job and properly initiating all of the fields within it (creating and assigning meaningful job item filters); simply setting the "has_mood" flag is not sufficient and will result in immediate insanity (since it detects that the Strange Mood job was cancelled).

Is this done straight from the job available from the base of all the dwarf's stuff? When I open jobs, I seen a lot of unknowns, and then a mood skill and timeout, and a lot of other not-quite-obvious parameters.

I see a number of values when using gui/gm-editor.

Problem is it's a big mess of values with very vague descriptors. What is "military" even suppose to mean? Are these pointers to more info?

Alright. I've been on/off DF for years, but remember a while ago, someone wrote a program that basically allowed you to change most anything in-game in terms of stats, happiness, job, assignment, mood.

Then I can back and found no comparable program had been written.

To a degree, Runesmith enabled me to change the amount of time investment I put into the game to my tastes, it may have killed off a bit of of the RNG and made the game an easy-modo for others, but it essentially allowed me to play DF without having to sink four times the amount of hours I had. It saved me from spirals, it created hundreds of cool artifacts, in general, it was handy and appreciated without killing the fun.

I know Therapist is capable of finding these memory addresses for the value in question but was specifically not designed to modify them. Personally, I figure with Cheat Engine or something similar and twice the amount of work, I could search value-by-value to figure out these kind of things, but I have to wonder why someone hasn't made this kind of successor to Runesmith, or at least haven't published a guide on how to do similar things.

Someone up the challenge of succeeding RS?
