Life Advice / Re: What would you do?
« on: December 17, 2013, 08:46:50 pm »
I like my paragraph structure. ; )
     It equals the jumbled state of mind I'm in. It sucks when you wake up middle aged wondering what the hell happened to the last 10 years or so. I guess the main thing keeping me in place is fear. It all boils down to fear of the unknown and fear of failure.
     It looks as if it's one of those situations where I'll have to make things worse in order to make them better in the long run. I have to leave the warm safe comfort of the camper prison and go out into the cold shitty world and deal with cold shitty assholes again. The thing about the shelter in the town next door is... its a small town and I have already worked at most of the restaurants there and am unsure of my rehire eligibility. LOL
     And I have been working on this one friend I have that I used to play music with. (I'm a guitar player. YAY! ) He lives ironically in a house i used to rent with my wife a few years ago. But he has a moocher staying there at the moment and says if that guy leaves.....
     I have my thinking cap on and I welcome any ideas that masquerade as helpful. It just feels kind of nice to talk to people about shit, even though we are all just faceless screen names on the DF forums.

Hmm.wouldn't it be nice to do it with liquids and place a Booze source instead of a river source. LOL oh well. Maybe I'll hit the mega millions later.

I asked in the modding forum last night but didn't really get very far into it.

Life Advice / What would you do?
« on: December 17, 2013, 05:46:13 am »
I am just wondering if smarter people than me can figure a way out of this predicament. So anywayzz..roleplay as me for a moment. I had a neck injury. was unemployed. remained unemployed for almost 2 years while trying to get treatment with no insurance and was turned down by Social Security. Was staying with my mom when this happened had split from my wife recently. (I'm 35 by the way) Never got to see a neurologist but my general practitioner says i need surgery. Okay..went back to work for a restaurant washing dishes for 6 months because thats pretty much what all of my previous work experience consisted of (restaurant work). Well, my mom had to move, and I had to move with her, because I was only making min wage and getting less than 30 hours a week, no way I could afford my own place. So we move to the middle of nowhere in the country 10 miles from a gas station even. So I had to leave that job because its like 50 miles away.I live in a camper I bought that is parked in my moms yard. I have a 1991 blazer that needs tires now and brakes and the insurance and tags are dead as of this month.I have already flunked out of college and owe a student loan. I have no gas money to go look for work in town and if I get pulled over I'm screwed. I have tried applying to just about every work at home call center job I can find online and even borrowed money to buy a USB headset. I applied to those paid cdl training schools and was turned down because of something like 8 years old on a background check. My mom cant help me because she can barely pay her own bills. I'm stuck in this camper in the middle of nowhere. Its like a prison almost. I would go to the next town over and stay at the homeless shelter there until I find a job, but they only let you stay 2 weeks without a job and throw you out in the cold all day.  So my obamacare kicks in next month and I might be able to see a neurologist finally. What would you guys do? sit in your camper prison with no income ? I don't think I can do it much longer. I'm down to like 2 pairs of pants and 5 shirts or some shit.And no I really don't have any friends that live around here to help me out either so thats out. Just a little rant. I lie here at night daydreaming of ATM's spittin money like slot machines. Didn't buy a mega millions ticket. Didn't have a buck. So what am I missing here? Should I just get in my blazer with the bad tires bad brakes no tags or insurance and just drive until i run out of gas ? LOL wouldn't take long. It gets pretty cold when the motor dies.

seems overly complicated. So I'm assuming it will probably work. LOL
I'll see if I can set up a test run and see what happens.

what about having the glob in the bottom of the well then opening a floodgate to let the water in ?

so booze can already be a contaminate? Any and all booze? Hmmm.
I guess that answers my question though. Would have to be a mod for a pure booze well but a booze contaminated well is possible. Okay.

I posted a little bit ago in the dwarf  mode discussion and thought I would ask the all knowing modders who are familiar with the game mechanics if a mod would be "required" to make a well full of booze, or if it would be at all theoretically possible in an unmodded game.

And I think that was just a hack to remove contaminants from items. I don't know of one that removed liquids from barrels. Maybe I'm behind the times on that. lol

Weeeeell, you can have wells contaminated with vampire blood and if you drink well-water contaminated with vamp blood you turn into a vamp, so it's maybe possible... But you can't dump a keg of beer into the well and contaminate it that way. Hmmm. I recall a thing about how to remove "liquid" and blood from caravan-brought barrels, perhaps if you put a booze barrel in your to-be well cistern, did the thing, and locked the dorf out before anyone else cleaned up the booze spill...
   Well this idea came up when I was going to do the vampire blood in the well thing because I never had. Thing is, I read about how they slow down from lack of booze or some such. So , naturally I thought maybe put booze in the well. But I doubt it would work as I originally intended because you can lead a vampire to a booze well but I don't know if he would drink from it. ; ) But still would be a neat novelty in a Fort.

I once played a fort where it rained beer. I think it was a Masterwork fort though, in a peaceful or some such Biome. So if it's not a contaminate, smashing booze barrels at the bottom of my well is not going to work apparently. So it would have to be a mod for sure then. I'll keep looking into it. If it can rain beer, beer can be channeled into a cistern maybe? Would only work in a game that was modded to rain beer so far though.

Has anyone monkeyed with the idea of having a well of booze? Can't see how I could get it to work without a mod like the liquids one where you can add water or magma, except booze probably isn't a flowing liquid recognized by the game.

I can't seem to scroll through my inventory in Adventure mode. Does anyone else have that problem ?  I've tried plus and minus and also arrow keys. I picked up a bag with some good stuff in it and put it in my bag. so its stuff in a bag in another bag. I don't play Adventure mode much but have been trying to get more into it.

Do have any other tools that allow us to edit stats on the fly?

From two pages back, in this thread...

Quote from: vjek on May 25, 2012, 10:37:00 am
Just wanted to mention, in light of the lack of Runesmith updates, I went ahead and made three dfhack lua scripts that replicate three functions I used in Runesmith.

First, elevate_physical.lua to adjust physical attributes.
Second, elevate_mental.lua to adjust mental attributes.
Third, brainwash.lua to "fix" personality issues.

Ah, the things I do to get a perfect mayor, eh?  :)

Anyway, I hope those are useful to those pining for Runesmith.  Any and all of those three scripts can be trivially modified to make adjustments more to your liking, if you wish.  If you don't understand how to use them, PM me or post here and I'll explain further.

and the latest make_legendary.lua along with the original.

If that's what you meant by 'edit stats'... 
These scripts are easy to modify, so if they don't do exactly what you want, you should be able to cut & paste your way to glory.

There needs to be some kind of central repository for all these scripts floating, as it stands they are spread throughout many different threads and all but a few get to see them. Like fixfat for example to fix the fat person bug which slows the game down.


And as for the original request, JDwarf is a cross platform replacement for RS.
   @ VJEK I included those scripts in that last LazyNewbPack update thing I posted right before LucasUp updated it but I couldn't remember where I got them to add a Credit to:
sorry about that. but I use them all the time. Whats the scoop on this Jdwarf thing ? is it any good ? haven't had a chance to review it.
