♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ Contract
As a player I have great respect for the time of any other player, that means that I will do all that is at my reach to release Mods or packages that are as bug free as possible, at least from my perceived standpoint, that means that each released mod will pass a semiautomatic process of verification where the different Dwarf Fortress logs will be investigated for problems, the entity checker utility or any similar application will be also used.
As a modder I expect that every user of this project, me included, will adapt his behavior in this forum to the code of conduct of our project.
For someone that likes to support the development of content for Dwarf Fortress universe, the origine, the Tarn Brothers is maybe the most sensible option. for those that additionally want to support the development of DF content out of ToadyOne limits, time or priorities:
1.) Japa Mala is developing a realtime 3D viewer for DF (Armok Vision).
2.) Meph is leading a collaborative initiative to better integrate mods and mechanisms into a fully coherent system (Masterwork Mod).
3.) PeridexisErrant is maintaining and distributing THE more comprehensive package of DF related tools (DF Starter Pack).

♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ Purpose
01.) Opening  the process of mods maintenance to all those that love this game.
02.) Investigate ways to facilitate the migrations of Mods between DF versions.
03.) Enable a system of dependencies between Mods: Haiku<Vanilla<Modest<Rest.
04.) Decompose Dark Ages mod into its components mods.
05.) Find creative solutions for the problem of collisions in the mix of mods.
06.) Extract the experience of Df from Scratch to build a minimal DF base>Haiku.
07.) Use Git for version control and as online documentation and tutorials server.
08.) Build a community of maintainers that cares of the DF heritage.
09.) As DFHACK maintain their code base, ♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ will do with the raws of Mods.
10.) Apply useful semantic transformations over the declarative DF raws.
♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ Disclaimer
All the graphical art in this page is the intellectual property of their original authors.
There are two groups in the art used: Haiku and Dwarf Fortress related.
Those of DF are related to gruesome events that happens naturally in the simulation.
Or the visceral reaction that those events frequently produce in the players.
The artist simply use their freedom of speech or creation to reinterpret them.
They are there to offer an immersive experience in the DF universe.
As each image is randomly linked with a powerful tale in The Hall of Legends
If you think that an image should be retired for any reasons, please ask it!
The mods being adapted to ♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ are owned by their authors.
Any loss of functionality in the conversion process is only my fault not theirs.
As they know their works better than me, any insight or help will be appreciated.
Once completed, the final conversion, will be offered to the authors or maintainers.
If somewhat ♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ eat your dirty laundry as in the Don Henley Lyrics you alone will be the only responsable if you use it. ;)

♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ TODO list
01.) Finish implementation of nested objects
02.) Implement macro generics for all the categories of DF objects  supported in Rubble {COPY_TAGS_FROM:ID}, {APPLY_VARIATION:ID}, {GO_TO_END} {GO_TO_START}, {SELECT;NESTED:ID}
03.) Re-implement as Rubble categories WORLD_GEN and PROFILE, make shared object for them
04.) Make Vanilla Library and the Haikus automatically generated from the ToadyOne Version instead of manually
05.) Correct the generic materials to use a FOREACH to be migration resistants
06.) More artificial hiveable
07.) Make the rest of generic materials, wood, thread ...
08.) Cornucopia of trees
09.) Fork Rubble into Nibble for a more meaningfull and reusable, basic semantic metadata
...
nn.) Archived TODO list




♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ Features:
1.) Is in spirit a publishing system for (DF) Dwarf Fortress related content using DFFD as file server
2.) Does something similar to what Battle of Wesnoth does with his campaigns, offering to the player a catalogue of mods to download, compose and play.
3.) Use a common system for importing parts of composable mods, in a chain of dependencies, like libraries of raws.
4.) Is usable in all Dwarf Fortress supported platforms (Windows, Linux and OSX) as it relies only in Milo´s Rubble that has support for the three, Lua that also do, and the interface is generic HTML5, same support. No one is forgotten out in the cold.
5.) Have auto update capacity of the mods that is attained exploiting the JSON metadata of the DFFD file-server for each download, to know when a update is available and doing the auto update if the mod is defined as having this characteristic.
6.) Some functional approach to the problem of version control of DFraws is used, this helps in how to decide the correct order of application of required change-sets.
7.) To further reduce the complexity of the problem some rules are applied; first of all Vanilla raws are declared immutable, you only can modify them indirectly (in fact you modify a copy or prototype, but the original object is always accessible ;)) by means of semantic deltas (DIFF) that have some insight of the DF grammar and works in a context of objects and tags instead of file-names and line numbers as normal DIFF do. One short auto example:
Quote
-- less fuel required to do a bar of iron
{@CONTEXT;REACTION:PIG_IRON_MAKING}
{@DELTA;REAGENT:A;300:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON}
{@DELTA;PRODUCT:100;2:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:PIG_IRON}
-- A more detailed explanation.
8.) The full Lovechild´s All races playable mod weighs 12.3 kb unpacked in our system and 417.6 kb without. -> less bandwidth needs and easier mod maintenance.
9.) For being able of supporting all that, some support of the DF grammar will be necessary, until now we have support for DF namespaces (called categories in Rubble: creature, material, plants) and DF prototypes (called objects in Rubble: DWARF, IRON, STONE_TEMPLATE, ...) and the generic support for nested objects (castes, noble positions, ...)  is being developed.
Should such a mod publishing system for DF be made sticky in the forum of Mod Releases to give it a good visibility? Please use the top pool to give your opinion. or post any concerns that you could have!

Frequently Asked Questions: (FAQ)

0. I have downloaded HDFPS and extracted the content with 7zip or any other compatible archiver that supports .7z files, how do I open the rubble main menu in my web browser?
Please read this post! detailed screenshots with the needed steps.
When you look it can be seen that the files of the two mods that you selectted are there clearly identified by their UPPERCASE namespace.
Some people are maintaining a mod created for another DF version by another person that has become inactive in our community, in the meantime some DF tokens have been substituted or deprecated, Milo´s Rubble gives you a warning of those or even of tokens malformed (attention there are some false positives, the system is not complete at this moment but Milo is working furiously), this can be paramount to eradicate errors, that could be at the origine of undefined behavior or instability in your mod, Rubble has even detected one of those bugs long buried in the VANILLA raws.

♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ Rules or conventions to make composable Mods
« Reply #6 on: March 31, 2016, 12:23:08 pm »

Rules or conventions that a mod must follow in order to be composable with other mods:
DF mods ported to the Rubble system, you can see it in ♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫  repo
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In order to integrate all of those moods into the rubble system I follow some simple directives:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

But... What is all this system good for? Lets see some facts about it:
1) The Toady vanilla raws for DF 42.06 weight 1.55 Mb on disk.
2) Each other mod reuses some or all of the vanilla base files, even the total mods, in the next spoiler you can see the concrete parts of vanilla that are reused By the Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom mod:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
3) The addon that enables us to play Toady vanilla version of DF without ANY modif is composed by two files that mather, one dummy.rbl is empty the other addon.meta have the following content:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
4) So the complete rubble addon directory that enables us to play the original Toady  vanilla DF uses less of 2000 characters.
5) From now on each mod integrated into the rubble system is made compatible with all the others.

♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ Debugging DFHACK lua, actual state?
« Reply #10 on: March 31, 2016, 12:24:40 pm »





ZeroBrane Studio Tutorial about developing and debugging short lua fragments DF related...

There are any plans to include support, as a dependency, for Luasocket in DFHACK ?
Apparently it is all that is needed to use most of lua debuggers out there!
ZeroBrane Studio supports windows, linux and OSX platforms, lua versions from 5.1 up to 5.3 and visual studio.
Following this Luasocket presentation in their docs, the total number of lines for the version 2.0 are:
1. 4600 C code
2. 2500 Lua code
3. 4700 man code
With each new DFHACK version more and more external DF utilities use some kind of remote connection with DF to have access to its internal in real time.

The Network support that luasocket brings for the Lua language is object oriented, extensive, standard, documented, tiny (as it does not weigh a lot, as we have seen) and it has interfaces polished over the years.
Should we question what would represent more effort in the long term?
a) Integrating luaSocket once as a dependency and have access to their bug corrections and evolutions.
b) Integrating little by little the regions of functionality that are actually used in DFHACK.

My concern is that if we continue to use the path b) we could lose some corrections or have interfaces slightly differing one of the other for one operation of the same kind, depending of the version of luaSocket taken at the moment of their integration into the DFHACK base, this could be potentially tricky and time consuming for the DFHACK developers, the project will have a reduced functionality (substandard), hardships in the maintenance versus really little reductions in the number of lines integrated into DFHACK...

And we should not forget that the blobs of lines copy-pasted and adapted in a project are maintained as a whole only by this project, however if a project includes another as a dependency and then adds over some adaptations, their responsibility in the maintenance is limited to their own internal adaptation, if they use the interfaces of the depended upon project.

My opinion is that option a) gives more possibilities and requires less developer effort over the long term, but also that it could generate some initial breakage of some utils (specially if some transitory transparent support for the old system is not enabled for a few versions) and worse, it would generate one actual peak of work that maybe no one have the time or interest to do.
There are any other opinions about the convenience or not of opening such an issue in DFHACK?
<quite good analysis of lua sockets status>
Well, resuming the situation! The full support of this desirable characteristic has been staged for years and it do not seems that anyone will step up in the immediate future to finish the unachieved implementation.
Meanwhile the person that have done all the effort in this area is understandably sad to have to trash it by himself, even if not really sure how to finish it or continue in a sound way...
So if you absolutely want Lua Debugging in DFHACK in any visual IDE as Zerobrane Studio, your best option is to open the issue in DFHACK, integrate and compile Luasockets into DFHACK, and enjoy the result. ;)

Unbelievably rough Rubble macro system Short Tutorial, nevertheless usable!
As of now, you can consider it like an analytical index of every usage of Rubble macros in the ???HDFPS??? system
It will be polished at some point to be apt for general use.

♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ The three testbeds Mods of Vanilla Library
« Reply #12 on: March 31, 2016, 12:25:50 pm »




Description of Vanilla Library functionality and its testbed mods:
01. Vanilla Library1st playable Vanilla Library testBed: Contains the complete Vanilla raw files that are used by Rubble as an include or import base library able of fine grained imports and also to serve the needs of all other mods, yes you have it, this is like the unique ring... :P
ATTENTION: In the interface this library appears as ToadyOne Vanilla, This is done to indicate that this mod is the only one that people should select if they want to play vanilla as Toady released it. All the vanilla objects are there but reorganized in files differently to satisfy the needs of the vanilla Library. It is me the responsible of any bugs in this reorganization not Toady. Please inform me of any perceived bug. As vanilla as been made composable you can combine it with any other composable mod to have new shiny tilesets, graphics, completely new and innovative lua subsystems like (Roses collection; Putnam Sparking, Fortbent and SCP or Soul Combat of IndigoFenix), Encyclopaedias of DF like Dark Ages of GM-X, Button Modest fight against vanilla bugs, civilizations, mosters, final mods, or any other valid DF content that you could imagine, if Rubble support it and someone implement it ;D even those whose name can not be pronounced, returned recently from a deep void...

02. Haiku Vanilla2nd playable Vanilla Library testBed: Do you know, that you can play Dwarf Fortress with only 65 active objects, between creatures, inorganics and plants, without losing any mechanism of a functional vanilla and without modifying any of those objets?
Spoiler: Haiku Vanilla (click to show/hide)
      Haiku Vanilla Library Imports
      Haiku Vanilla Changelog
03. Haiku Extreme3rd playable Vanilla Library testBed, 41 active vanilla objects to play with only 6 modified from vanilla. This version 1.0 has been independently developed (yes, I have reinvented the wheel one more time, what can I say... I forgot to have a look at DF from Scratch) but the version 1.1 will make use of the 3 years of cumulated experience that the 3 seasons of the project DF from Scratch has in this domain. "Dwarf Fortress from Scratch" were originally launched  by Halfling. Remark that even if Haiku Extreme is really lightweight it has however ALL the vanilla subsystems, that makes it (or Vanilla Haiku to be more conservative) a very good starting point to base other mods upon, Something similar in spirit to what Essential DF by Deon were in Dwarf Fortress 34.11
When you prune a tree correctly in the good season it gives more fruit, when you prune some of the redundant content in Vanilla DF, the DF tree has the force to give you the best fruits of ToadyOne, you can then have more of his random generated objects: Ruins, Tombs, Lairs, Titans, megabeast, semimegabeast, Bogeyman, vampires,mummies, clowns, ghost, zombies and necros, clowns, Mayor Demons, Gods, magic weather, night creatures... Without suffering a sudden FPS Death.
About "Haiku Vanilla": have you looked at the starting points used by the various editions of the Dwarf Fortress from Scratch project? It's amazing what you can remove if you want...
Thanks for the idea! I am going to integrate cumulated knowledge (SCIENCE!!!) of the 3 successive seasons of Dwarf Fortress from Scratch to make Vanilla Librarys more functional, while I integrate those 3 new mods into HDFPS.
1.  -> Dwarf Fortress from Scratch: The entirely player-made universe succession.
2.  -> Dwarf Fortress from Scratch 0.40.x: Adapted to the new version
3.  -> Dwarf Fortress from Scratch Redux: New depart thrashing a lot of what were already built.

Description of mods
Blazingly fast FPS aware mod (accelerated generic materials) compatible with Joel´s Quickfort utility, as it only adds new reactions to old workshops ;) no new buildings breaking your building plans are needed. What it does in reality is adapt all the original Milo Rubble addons to make their reactions use only vanilla buildings, and include automatically all of those addons without the hassle of having to select them one by one, they are however individually selectable by modders as libraries or with some more work as DEV tools in the Rubble interface. 8)

♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ Why Lua?
« Reply #14 on: March 31, 2016, 12:26:30 pm »



Why Lua is the best script language that Dwarf Fortress (DF) can have?
1.) Tiny -> 146 Kb.
2.) It has the same data model of DF raws, key-value tables.
3.) Designed to be an extensible embedded language from the very beginning. -> Very easy C interaction compared to other script languages.
4.) You can have as many performance as you need. (LuaJIT).
5.) Mature ecosystem and libraries, but not so standardized as other languages.
6.) Many programming paradigms are disponibles: imperative, functional (Metalua), prototype, object or class oriented...
7.) Used as primary script in DFHACK but not in DF Structures, >:( a real pity.
8.) Even if Lua has also many quirks, it does so well what it does, that it has less need than other languages of evolution, in order to maintain his quota of utility, as for C this relative stability of the language mean for programmers that learning Lua is a long term investment that they can use for many years.
9.) Easy to learn and read, even when the code is not yours.
10.) Good editors and debuggers like Zerobrane Studio.
11.) It has professional grade database frameworks like Tarantool.
12.) Industry leading Web User Interface as seen in the LuCI MVC-Webframework in the embedded OpenWRT open source router implementation.
13.) Interesting DSLs as Lake, or how to carry around your Build Tool in a pen and use it in any OS platform?
