Bay 12 Games Forum

Hi again. I've been doing other stuff for a while, but now I'm modding Dwarf Fortress.

Whenever I set gaits to 0 -- in the raws -- they get set to their limit -- when in-game -- which seems to be 100. I want the world to be effectively motionless around my avatar, so is there some way to do this; preferably without downgrading the game version?

Short and sweet, surprisingly.

A game is made out of code. Written correctly, that code can do anything in game. So, what I'm asking is not whether it's possible to bypass dwarf fortress's rules; it's whether it's feasible. Please keep in mind: I have a lot of time on my hands, am a computer programmer and think I can find help.

If I want to be invincible, in game, it's not the materials my creature is made of that's the problem; it's the game's capacity to damage my creature. If I want to be unblockable, my skill level isn't the problem; it's the capacity for the game to make my attacks blocked. If I switched those capacities off, I would be both invincible and unblockable. If I made the game generate and display unseen places, I could see the hidden places on the map. If I want to teleport my creature, I could change its in-game coordinates.

Is there a feasible way I can write hacks into dwarf fortress that bypass the game logic like this, maybe using DFHack?

Thank you.
