Charming.

hmm I'm quite baffled, the revflood gone through my dining hall wall just right

I don't know if it will preserve the hidden-ness of caverns, nor keep sealed-off rooms from being completely hidden.

Like this:

Code: [Select]

UUUO
U..
...
U=hidden
O=wall
.=floor
In this case, the hidden tiles will be revealed after a revflood usage.

Code: [Select]

OOO
O.C

The sealed-off room (sealed off with a constructed wall) will be hidden after a revflood usage. So you won't know how your sealed-off werebeast-dwarf is - UNLESS you used a bridge to block him off. Or a deep pit or a magma channel or something like that.

One thing to note regarding usage of a uniform is that dorfs do not replace worn uniform items until they fall off their bodies. Wearing worn clothing makes them a bit unhappy, and uniforms block them from satisfying their need for new clothing items.

hmm is the dfhack cleanowned all x or whatever mends this issue?

Greetings fellow dorf overseers! Recently I have started to play DF again, and I have some question about fortress management. First of all I am kinda the OCD type  when I make forts so is there a utility to apply fog of war to tiles already discovered? I mean I don't mine ore out of room walls only gems, when I construct walls to hide the gap it doesn't look fancy. I know DFHack had a paint tool but it seems they took it out. The second: clothing management? How one can set a "civilian uniform" or something like it? I would prefer to cloth my nation self-made dwarven cloth not some hideous fur from goblins or something from the hippies. Third: werebeasts! I searched through this forum and reddit as well, some said there is a line in the combat log that states the werebeast injected something in the wound and this would predict a new weredwarf. However recently I got assaulted by a feroicious werechinchilla (yup that's right) and that damned thing bit my precious hammerdwarf on the lower lip and he turned afterwards (fortunately in quarantine) and I ordered his execution. Next year I was attacked by a werechameleon, my other soldier was bitten, but in a strange fashion. The werechameleon took hold of his upper arm without hurting it(he had chainmail and breastplate made out of steel), and later it shook the poor dorf and caused skin,muscle and fat rupture. Thoughts? And at last I've got a wall constructing problem, there is an odd title which refuses cooperation. I walled of and tried every angle to build always got suspending messages due to creature occupying the site (no creatures detected of course)
the layout . . . . .

              . . . . .    .=blank tile x=problematic tile
I would appreciate your help

Cheers, Carolus

Thanks! I check it out, but I'd like to do it without huge mods (DF alone is overwhelming for a nearly intermediate player like me) and without cheating (dfhack is the most useful mod for me, it's fun to mess around with it but for serious playing it's bugfixes and tweaks the best not the cheating). My idea was, to capture some snakes and extract their venom like one can extract liquid fire from the fire snakes.
But, fire snakes are vermin they use the small animal dissector job, I wonder if I can mod the reaction, so it accepts other creatures not only vermin. However I don't know how to do it and the raw of the reaction is hidden somewhere and I haven't find it. Wouldn't you be so kind to explain me how to do it? Or is it hardcoded?

I checked and it displays the "E" in white. So theoreticaly there are enough gems, the workshop acknowledge the gems but it doesn't work.

Another thing came to my mind: I searched tons of topics on google in connection with textile industry. Nearly in all posts the players complain, how the dwarfs "steal" the clothing made for trading. So my idea is: if you want to trade cloth-related goods, make ropes! Why? According to the wiki, the value of cloth-related goods calculated like this:
Ropes can be decorated as well so if we make a rope with these attributes, the value of the rope is:
(20*2*5)+(10*2*1)+(10*2)+(1*20*4)+(10*2*5)+(1*20*5)=520  and of course the dwarves won't steal any ropes.

Forget to mention, no, there aren't any burrows in my fort. Also, the problem isn't that I ordered the encrusting and I get some job cancelation, the thing is the menu is in some kind of frozen state (I cannot explain it better), however the game is running and everything is fine, excluding the encrusting.

First of all, I am playing with an outdated version because I downloaded TinyPirate's version (v.0.34) when I did his tutorial, but I am certain this isn't the issue.
The problem: I cannot encrust items. I have googled about it and sorted out the posibble causes.
The process: Starting to cut some gems (tried with raw green glass, obsidian, kimberlite), sorted out the crafts and large gems so in the linked stockpile I have only cut gems. My workshop is accessible (noted the "wall" on the right side). Also, there is dwarf for the job. So, I press "q" then select the gem I'd like to encrust with, the pressed "e", I've got three options "g" to encrust fgoods, "f" to encrust furniture and "a" to encrust ammo. Whatever I press nothing happens (I mean the options still visible, no item to the workshops crafting queue added). So what can be the problem?

EDIT: I have worked out, it can be done through the manager screen, but still weird that one cannot do it directly in the workshop menu.
