DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: Adventurer Fort: still useful i guess
« on: September 06, 2016, 06:58:49 pm »
Thanks for keeping this mod alive, I really enjoy being able to build both my home and my character the way I want, and I can't do that without forging a few weapons and armors... which requires mining the metals and etc.

So, um... what's this imbue thing supposed to do anyway?  All it seems to do is change the name of the materials of my items into other materials while saying "you make nothing" or something like that.

I don't think a candy wafer is actually a suitable item, magma safe it may be but it might need to be flagged specifically.

Dragon materials are all magma-safe as it gets but I can make forges out of them either.

A single wafer  and an anvil is all I've needed before and it's worked fine.

It should work...

@Bowen: try updating advfort (do 3rd and 4th steps in first post) maybe something got fixed on the way

I tried that, no luck.   The numbers after .lua are higher by about 95 but otherwise it's the same error.  I was thinking that it may be because I created some unknown thing when imbuing my sword and that's getting in the way of proper scripts... Aha!  I gave the sword to a lord (I don't want it destroyed after it killed so many goblins and trolls) and now I can build again.

So, I happily forged all kinds of stuff, and then used my cheated skills and awesome eq to skip through a dark tower all the way down to hell decapitating any moving thing on my way.  While down there I decided to use the "Imbue with material" on my masterwork adamantine sword imbuing it with the chitin of a Ceratopsid Fiend.  It seemed like a good idea at the time, but sadly made my sword pathetic (my attempts to behead things were deflected by cave spider silk).  So I decided to make another magma forge and make me another candy sword, but I've come across what I think is a scripting error.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm not sure exactly what this means but it seems to me that the game is having trouble finding suitable materials requisite to making a magma forge.  Unfortunately having both a candy wafer and an anvil in my inventory and on the floor at my feet leads to the same result: no magma forge being produced.

I also tried turning it off and turning it back on but get the same result.  As I'm not a IT person that's about the limit of my abilities to fix the problem without appealing for help.  I don't know if this is a bug or if it's a game feature that you can't build things properly after going to hell (never been there before), but I think I have learned my lessons 1. Don't imbue things I actually use with anything else and 2. to never go to hell again.

Anybody wanting to weigh in on my discoveries are more than welcome.

Sincerely,

Bowen

have you tried using the grab/mount scripts to keeping a person in place long enough to 'experiment' on them?

What scripts are these?  Do you mean wrestling?  Cause I think that would make my victims er um patients go lethal on me.  And I haven't found a way to interact with the table while wrestling... That sounds like WWE stuff anyway.

Has anybody found a way to use Advfort to heal companion's injuries?  I know it's superficial as simply waiting, sleeping, or travelling will restore all but death, dismemberment, and brain damage for them, but I figure if I can make a table for them to lie on I should be able to somehow diagnose them and treat them.  Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to move my victims *cough* companions onto said table, so I can torture um treat them. >_>

I cannot use workshops.  I do not see a "Tab" option anywhere.  No matter how many times I press R and T, it never comes across a "use workshops" option.  I have tried with the objects (raw turtles) on the ground, in my inventory, and in my hands.  It does not work.

I get this problem sometimes myself.  From what I've seen something in the workshop is missing to keep it from being fully functional.  For example if trying to use a magmaforge which doesn't have access to magma the (tab) option won't list while advfort mode is on.  Perhaps the workshop you are trying to use is missing something vital?  If it's not you just need to be in the workshop while in advfort mode (the option to scroll through the additional advfort functions are listed in the top center) and under the the functions (not one of the scrollable functions but literally below them) you should be able to see (Tab)

Hope that helps.
