The Ultimative Autohotkey Uniform Macro!
« on: February 10, 2012, 02:10:23 pm »

Behold!
After a long time of !!Science!! and pain I made myself this epic script to get rid of the annoyence of making the uniforms again on every new fort!
It only activates when you have DF as active window!
Watch it here: http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-2411-uniformautohotkeyscript

You need this tool: http://www.autohotkey.com/
Copy the code into the Autohotkey.ahk in your "my documents" folder and start autohotkey.exe from anywhere you want.
Or make an .exe-file out of the code :)

Have fun!

Autohotkey is great for Dwarf Fortress.  I have a super simple script for trading that just presses down and enter as long as I'm holding down F1.  It makes trading all those bins of worthless trinkets a breeze.

Individual Choice melee is AFAIK bugged, and they will pick the most expensive weapon, regardless of what skills they have. It is better to assign weapons individually, or have multiple uniforms with different weapons.

I agree with specifying cloaks and hoods as leather, but adamantine is so expensive, that they will choose it automatically. Steel is expensive too, co they'll choose that over copper, and other stuff. I think if you tell them specifically to wear adamatine they won't touch all this copper armor lying around, and don't use armor until you get blue stuff. I prefer them to pick what i have, and upgrade it as new items become available.

I had no problems with chosing of armor so far.
I also melt away all bad armor, so they have no choice but to pick better ones.
Plus the script can be easily adapted to your needs.
