Is there a utility that allows you to view the raws of generated creatures, like generated demons, forgotten beasts, or perhaps the new experiment beasts/humanoids made by necromancers or demons?

[Atomic Chicken]

I recall people cleanly extracting generated raws from the world.dat file, but I don't know the specifics. If you're willing to wait for DFHack to be updated for the new version (or you want to mess around with 0.44.12 in the meantime), I've written a quick script which gives you a list of generated creatures and prints the raws of the selected one to the DFHack console. Not particularly convenient if you wish to copy the entire thing, but it gets the job done.

Code: [Select]

function printCreatureRaws(race)
  for _, raw in ipairs(race.raws) do
    print(raw.value)
  end
end

local dialogs = require 'gui.dialogs'
local generatedCreatureBox = defclass(generatedCreatureBox,dialogs.ListBox)
generatedCreatureBox.focus_path = 'generatedCreatureBox'
generatedCreatureBox.ATTRS{
  with_filter = true
}

function generatedCreatureBox:preinit(info)
  local choices = {}
  for _, race in ipairs(df.global.world.raws.creatures.all) do
    if race.flags.GENERATED then
      local name = race.creature_id .. ' - ' .. race.name[0]
      table.insert(choices,{text = name, race = race, search_key = name:lower()})
    end
  end
  info.choices = choices
end

function showCreaturePrompt()
  generatedCreatureBox{
    frame_title = "Obtain Generated Creature Raws",
    text = "Select a creature:",
    on_select = function(id, choice)
      printCreatureRaws(choice.race)
    end,
  }:show()
end

showCreaturePrompt()

I put together a new generated raws extractor thing that works with 0.47.

Not to take anything away from Andux's work but in a pinch you can also just set [COMPRESSED_SAVES:NO] in init.txt and open world.dat in a notepad++.  You can mod it too if you like (in a hex editor of course..).  Lines in the raws are separated by a 16-bit word that reflects the length of the succeeding line.

You can mod it too if you like (in a hex editor of course..).

Conveniently, there's the HEX-Editor plugin for Notepad++.

Hi, I'm very new to all this, sorry
How do I use it?
Where do I save it?
If i just unpack it in my save folder and then try running grex.exe it appears and collapses in a moment

[Andux]

It should work if you drag & drop your world.sav/world.dat file onto the exe/shortcut.

IDK if it would be useful to you. but you can also view the raws that DF uses while in-game
