I am attempting to implement the solution found here to resurrect a creature in Dwarf Fortress mode to no avail.
<...>

Actually it's quite outdated. Although same principle could work the dfhack (and dfusion that is a part of it) went through a lot of changes.
I have semi working resurrect script at home (not sure if it does anything strange) but generally you can now add scripts to hack/script dir and use them straight from dfhack console.

It's not easy but possible with dfhack

there is but not a simple one.

Some exciting new stuff has been added to DFHack over the past few days - thanks to angavrilov, it's now possible to override virtual methods on classes, and some new helper code has been added for manipulating the screen buffers. So far, 3 tools have been written making use of this:

1. A simple development plugin which overrides viewscreen_titlest::render() in order to superimpose the DFHack version on the title screen.
2. A Lua script which, when triggered under the appropriate circumstances (in Dwarf mode, using the [q] cursor, and hovering over a lever or a triggerable building), creates an overlay which lets you browse which buildings are linked to a particular lever (or which levers are linked to a particular building, depending on what you selected).
3. A plugin which hooks viewscreen_unitlistst::feed(...) and checks for presses of the [l]abors key (as used from the [v] cursor), at which point it opens a new viewscreen which implements a very simple (and currently incomplete) Therapist-style labor manager within Dwarf Fortress itself.

Stay tuned for further developments.

Cool progress!

I'm having some trouble figuring out how to pass arguments to lua scripts from DFHack. Here's what I've tried:
<...>
How do I access the arguments other than the first? "quasivariable" doesn't show up in any LUA documentation I can find.

I think it was
local stuff={...}
local first=stuff[1]


Is DFusion not updated for .34.11 yet? When I try to use it, I get errors. One moment and I'll post the exact errors.

Okay, typed in 'dfusion' sans apostraphes, and it gives me this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

dfusion/common.lua:45: . Text region not found!
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'error'
dfusion/common.lua:45: in function 'GetTextRegion'
dfusion/common.lua:89: in function 'unlockDF'
dfusion/init.lua:66: in main chunk

The fix is still not included in this version. To fix it manualy:

Find this line in dfusion/common.lua, and replace ".text" with "Dwarf Fortress.exe":

Code: [Select]

local pos=string.find(v.name,".text") or string.find(v.name,"libs/Dwarf_Fortress")

Almost donated there (whew)...
I thought that it would be a new (from ground up) game with the spirit of ADOM. I personally believe that there is nothing that can be done for a project that was dead for 10 years (trying to code in that old and forgotten source would be waste of man-hours). Don't get me wrong i really loved ADOM and countless hours playing (dying) it, but all in all you could better spend your money donating to Toady or any other more perspective game/project. Also somehow adding a new item/monster/stuff named after persons into an old game seems like a cheap move (from my guess of work involved in that operation i.e. adding another entry to a list). Also you need to give 25$ to get access to "game" earlier as far as i understood. That seems a bit to high of the price.
