Hi,

I am trying to add new types of food ingredients for cooking. I have trouble with some things:

1) I would like seasoning only to be used at most once per cooked item. Salt-only foods do not sound all that pleasant to eat for example. Is there a way to do it in raws?

1.5) If there is a stack of items in a bag, is there a way to tell that only one stack is to be used when cooking?

2) How to implement the ability to store items in food stockpiles? These raws:

[OBJECT:INORGANIC]

[INORGANIC:COOKING_WITH_SALT_SALT]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STONE_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL:kitchen salt]
[DISPLAY_COLOR:7:7:1][TILE:127]
[SOLID_DENSITY:2787]
[IS_STONE]
[EDIBLE_COOKED]
[POWDER_MISC_PLANT]
[MATERIAL_VALUE:3]
[NO_STONE_STOCKPILE]
[STATE_COLOR:ALL_SOLID:IVORY]

Make cooking salt show up in the section for milled plants of stockpile settings, but dwarves do seem to carry it there. Neither it is being carried to another place where that material shows - in mineral stockpile settings. is the [IS_STONE] flag preventing that?

For completeness, this is how that salt bag is being created:

[OBJECT:REACTION]

[REACTION:COOKING_WITH_SALT_MILL_ROCK_SALT]
[NAME:Grind rock salt into bag of salt]
[BUILDING:QUERN:CUSTOM_SHIFT_S]
[BUILDING:MILLSTONE:CUSTOM_SHIFT_S]
[REAGENT:rocksalt:1:BOULDER:NO_SUBTYPE:ROCK:ROCK_SALT]
[REAGENT:bag:1:BAG:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[EMPTY]
[PRESERVE_REAGENT]
[DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT]
[PRODUCT:100:4:POWDER_MISC:NONE:INORGANIC:COOKING_WITH_SALT_SALT]
   [PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[PRODUCT_TO_CONTAINER:bag]
[SKILL:MILLING]


I'd just point out that baiting does not help anyone, either.

Not even sure why that would be a baiting.

Community changed a lot in few years.

I'd just point out that apologism does not help anyone.

You can't just tell people that bad interface is going to be remedied by learning it enough to gain muscle memory.

Because interface is definitelly a mess. If you say otherwise, you are not fooling anyone and are alienating a lot of people.

What should happen instead is helping people overcome their specific problems.

Will DF Talk be restarted? Now with the steam hype souds like right time to do this.

All right, new DF is out.

If you have log files from playthroughts in new version, they would be extremelly usefull now - Once I have enough I will go ahead and update soundpack and take a quick look at application too.

getting a different error. it goes as follows: "An error has occured while processing the shared archive file.
Unable to unmap shared space.
Error occurred during initialization of VM
unable to use shared archive i was able to run it once, then next time this error popped up for a split second. i then deleted it and reinstalled the soundsense files. again, worked once then the exact same message occurred

Ill check it out.

Basically every fortress has this kind of busywork that is not really part of gameplay

 * Setting up stockpiles - for example, stockpile for milling requires lots of going throught plant list and turning them on and off. Similar to this, cage stockpile for prisoners of war (where are those goblins hidden in the species list?). It is tedious and should only be done once between all different forts.

* Setting up work orders to automate industries - for example soap production can be nicely set up to become automated, same for steel or all other things like brewing and cooking. Again, this kind of setup should one one-time because player will be recreating same thing again and again.

* Uniforms. People tend to have one uniform they like. Again, it is being redone again and again.

I think it would be great if there was option to export and import these settings. Either to file, but system clipboard would work just fine.

I have issue with using third party LUA library. Basically, I want to be able to send data to serial port from withing DFhack scripts.

Console says this:

Code: [Select]

[DFHack]# ambidwarf
error loading module 'luars232' from file 'C:\dfhack\luars232.dll':
        Uvedenř modul nebyl nalezen.

stack traceback:
        [C]: in ?
        [C]: in function 'require'
        C:\dfhack/hack/scripts/ambidwarf.lua:1: in function 'f'
        C:\dfhack\hack\lua\dfhack.lua:562: in function <C:\dfhack\hack\lua\dfhack.lua:503>
        (...tail calls...)
Only setup I have made is copying luars232.dll file to C:\dfhack directory (it comes from project here: https://github.com/ynezz/librs232/downloads )

Script is so far just renamed example for library from here: https://github.com/ynezz/librs232/blob/master/doc/example.lua

I am sure I am doing something wrong, but i have too litle experience with lua to know what :-)

In cases like these it really helps if you translate the error message into english. However my guess is that it says "Could not load the module"

As for the problem itself - my guess is that dfhack does not export/include the required lua lib(s)? or they are of incorrect version. Rebuilding the lib with same lua might help.

It says "Given module was not found".

Anyway, I should basically learn to rebuild this library + dfhack using same version of lua? Hmm, Lets me see about ruby scripts and ruby rs232 library.
