I had some time today to screw with this some more (and yes, I know, I need to finish dwarfvet), and was able to successfully create mandates on the fly, especially some *weird* ones, as well as revise a specter from times long past:



I can in effect create a mandate for *any* type of item, set how long they last, and set what, if any punishments they get if the mandate is unfulfilled. It appears material mandates still work (i.e., I can make a "Make copper coins" mandate if I so choose), and assign them to guild leaders on the fly.

I haven't actually managed to get any of the other guild jobs show up (I'm going to have to look at 40d's mandate structure more indepth to figure out the magic, blindly poking values isn't working here. That means playing a 40d fort until economy fires, and then wait for a guild request to pop. Ugh).

I suspect its connected to a unit requests, but that in and of itself didn't do the trick ...

EDIT: Testing shows the game doesn't properly register jobs done for these mandates. Obviously I'm either setting something wrong in memory *or* there's a second place I need to jiggle. Still, progress. I need to write a DFHack plugin to dump mandates the game creates naturally and figure it out from there.

Guild job mandates use the mandate's "item type" field to indicate the guild being covered - 0 (BAR) for Miners, 1 (SMALLGEM) for Carpenters, 2 (BLOCKS) for Masons, 3 (ROUGH) for Metalsmiths, 4 (BOULDER) for Jewelers, and 5 (WOOD) for Craftsdwarves. Additionally, jobs will only count toward guild mandates if the job falls within that guild (e.g. it used one of the Metalworking skills) and the unit that performed the job is a member of that guild (e.g. by having one of the Metalworking professions).

PTW. Are you still working on this?

[NCommander]

I am, but last week was finals week, and I needed to blow some stress by going long distance bike riding. I'll be home later this week, and when I set out again, I'll be bringing everything required to work on this on my laptop.

Maybe you already said and I didn't understand it, but I have a small question:

Are there any concrete in-game advantages for this yet? I mean, I know it's not the reason why we would use it, but right now it looks like this:
- if you make mistakes it completely ruins the fortress (as it should be);
- if you perfectly adjust everything, you have the same game you had before, without any rewards for your job, and just another thing that could go wrong sooner or later.
I don't know, do dwarves care if they get paid? Do they get a "He felt happy for being paid recently" thought, or something similar? That would be more than enough.

Yes, I guess a transition from communism to capitalism shouldn't be that sharp.

Watching and waiting.
