Is there dfhack for 0.40.10 windows?.

[lethosor]

There isn't an official release of DFHack for 0.40.09 or 0.40.10 yet.

any unofficial for 0.40.10?

[Simca]

I'm not experiencing those problems on 0.40.09 or 0.40.10. What commits (dfhack and df-structures) are you building from?

dfhack: https://github.com/quietust/dfhack/tree/eb221e1165ab4bdaebd6da3fccc47d90fdd8aa1d
I used git submodule init/git submodule update to get the df-structures stuff.

Could be a bug with how I built it - I was using Visual Studio 2013, and I had to add includes for <algorithm> and <functional> to different spots and remove a few "using namespace std"s (because dfhack uses a bunch of variables named "count" which conflicted with <algorithm>'s std::count).

Also, it's still much better than remaining on 40.08.

Oh? Why?

Because of this change "Made people not so eager to jump in on the side of their relatives and friends if the relative/friend is berserk/etc."
Lost two rather progressed fortresses to tantrum spirals because of that in 40.08. Maybe it's my fortress design: all my dwarves tend to stick together in large public areas, so they see a friend going berserk and suddenly the entire fortress is fighting, death is everywhere, and everyone is mad as hell because all their friends died.

I hate tantrum spirals... One dwarf couldn't find a shell for a strange mood, so he freaks out and starts punching a nearby dwarf. Then their friends hopped in. Then the guys hauling equipment by hopped in. Then I sent my military to "handle it" by stationing ten marksdwarves nearby. Then a forgotten beast showed up. Then a thief gets in and steals an artifact adamantine short sword. Then the beast burns down the bedrooms. Then my military goes by the fight from the tantrum. They get involved. I start hitting my head off the table. And every last one of my dwarves get assigned to squads, given spears, and rushed at the beast. But they stop to join the tantrum. A little over one hundred armed dwarves fighting in one large room, a third of them dead already, so I just gave up and let everyone kill each other. Turns out I had a werebeast in the mix. That was a twelve game year old fortress.

Yeah, you'll need Visual Studio 2010 on Windows - that's what DF uses, and using a different compiler version on Windows tends to cause difficult-to-diagnose crashes.

[Rose]

Um, no, they're pretty easy to diagnose.
DFHack simply 100% guaranteed doesn't work with anything but vs2010.
Thankfully, if you have both installed, you can use the newer ide with the older compiler.

Is there a way to trigger a script to only run once on initial world load instead of on every load?

[expwnent]

You could store a persistent thing in the save and only trigger if it doesn't exist yet.

In lua

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

if (not dfhack.persistent.get("nevermore")) then
   -- do stuff
   dfhack.persistent.save({key="nevermore",value=true})
end

'value' could be any true value, it's not actually even saving the boolean 'true', but rather an empty string.  Which is a true value.

I can't seem to get DFHack to make me dragon bones. I'm trying to test out a reaction, but I don't have the needed dragon bones. I followed the steps from the wiki, create-items BONE CREATURE_MAT:DRAGON:BONE 10, but it'd just come up with another of the incredibly unhelpful how-to's of DFHack. Can I make dragon bones, or are they one of the items you can't make?

I might be wrong (so feel free to correct me), but as I understand it, you can't create body parts with createitem. Meaning, you could create finished (crafted) items made out of dragon bone, but not the 'raw' bones themselves.

[StagnantSoul]

Dammit... Guess I'll have to get the bones the old fashion way... Can I turn a creature into a different one? Maybe I could make a flying bird turn into a dragon and fall to it's death.

[robertheinrich]

Can I turn a creature into a different one?

Creatures/units in Dwarf Fortress consist of pretty complex data structures, for example their individual bodyplan based on race/caste definitions and whatnot else. Converting into another race will be quite complicated, if not outright impossible.

There is a way to do it with syndrome that has a CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION tag in it.

Tip: nerf the dragon creature raws (e.g., comment out the firebreath attack) before you start poofing keas into dragons.
