Hello, I can't figure out how to spawn an iron bar. I've tried

Code: [Select]

createitem METAL:IRON 1 but it hasn't done me any good.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

You need an item token:

Code: [Select]

createitem BAR IRON
A full list of item tokens can be found on the wiki.

gui/hack-wish is far, far easier to use.

The reason it's named so dumbly is because I was stupid and somehow never thought that it would be an easier-to-use createitem when I wrote it.

On the other hand, there are now no less than 3 item creating scripts included with DFHack, which is kinda clunky.

Thank you both for your input. After looking through the wiki and my past attempts from the past hour I figured out what I did wrong.

Code: [Select]

createitem BAR:NONE INORGANIC:IRON #

Was the correct way to go about adding in the items.

[lethosor]

Neither :NONE or INORGANIC: should be necessary, strictly speaking.

I think the third script Putnam is referring to is createitems.rb, which can only create 5 or 6 types of items (last I checked).

Neither :NONE or INORGANIC: should be necessary, strictly speaking.

They aren't necessary, but they're a good idea because they eliminate ambiguity.
