Hey I just downloaded the newest LNP for windows with DFHack enabled, and after generating a new (large) world, i used the exportlegends maps command, and it crashed while the trade map was generating. Is there crash logs somewhere for DFHack, and is this the kind of stuff you're looking for as far as testing?

My guess is that you need to use develop branch. That is there all the (hot) action is going

You're right. Actually the zipped up version of the source code offered for download under the binaries, for some reason, has old versions of the submodules baked in and won't compile into the actual executable being offered.

So here's what I did:

Code: [Select]

# get a fresh copy of the repo
git clone https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack.git .

# get (hot) action
git branch develop
git checkout develop
git pull origin develop

# the following step is what you can't do if you just downloaded the zip
git submodule update

Then cmake, make, make install into directory of your choice, where you have a copy of DF 0.40.25 waiting. I can't verify that this produces exactly the same as the precompiled binary that's offered for download, but it runs.

Built the newest commit in the repository but symbols.xml doesn't have an entry for the newest version of Dwarf Fortress, so dfhack deactivates on startup. Are there other changes in the pre-built binary that aren't in the source version?

Yes. We didn't update the library/xml submodule, so the develop branch doesn't point to a df-structures commit with Windows 0.42.05 support. That should be fixed now (once you run "git pull" and "git submodule update", of course).

The gamestart message says "Rename DFhack.init-example to DFhack.init and edit it to customize it" or something like that, but I don't have any program that can open/edit a .init
Any help?

Just use a text editor, you big lug.

I just now thought of that.
I apparently have lost 40% of my brain.

Found a couple of problems with the new autogem plugin. Or really just one, I guess.

I started getting a lot of cancellation spam "Urist McJeweler cancels cut clear tourmaline: Needs rough clear tourmalines.

I checked my stocks screen, and the only rough clear tourmalines I had were either marked for dumping or forbidden. Apparently autogem goes ahead and creates cut jobs for these gems, even though the gemcutter can't use them.

Also, I had a dwarf get a strange mood, which needed rough gems. All of my rough gems had been autocut, so I dug out a couple more, which the moody dwarf immediately grabbed. But autogem continued to schedule tasks for cutting these gems, resulting in more cancellation spam until the artifact was done.

So autocut definitely needs to notice that rough gems are forbidden or marked for dumping before creating tasks to cut them, and it also needs to be able to notice that some other task, such as a mood, has taken the gem.

Having all of one's rough gems get cut can cause a problem when strange moods arise, so players need to be able to forbid at least a few gems to keep them in reserve for moods. But if this will result in constant cancellation spam, then it's just not workable.

Enabling the plugin should not also enable the workshop order IMO, as automatically cutting rough gems is a big change from vanilla behavior with potentially serious downsides for moody dwarves.  (I've had a few comments on this in the Starter Pack thread too)

As I'm sure you know they really should be asking here. It's important for people to know at least approximately where the different tools come from.

If you set up a stockpile with links to the workshops, the cancellation spam stops

Has anyone identified the event/rumor data for adventurer mode? I thought it would be in the nemesis file, which would explain the lag every time it displays. Is it buried in userdata?

I'm trying to cull out the insignificant ones to make the list fit for purpose. At this stage of play, the rumors dialog is unusable and simply opening the journal takes a few seconds. I predict the journal will get as bad as the rumor list.

it might get digging in history of world. That usually takes ages as it's a VERY big list.

I doubt these are in the history of the world, it's full of items too trivial for history. Such as when a wild animal gets spooked by any other creature's presence, and every single occurrence of the performance of every single tale or text. There's scant overlap between what goes into this rumors list and what is retained in legends. Also, none of it transfers to any other character or fortress.

It can filter or look up by id. E.g. your adventurer has a list of historical_event ids and then you open menu game looks every one of them up thus binary searching through a HUGE amount of events.
