you can use doors I just use statues mainly, you can use anything that can be encrusted

[Rumrusher]

so does having iron whip stubbed with wolf bone crash* the game?
because adventure mode seems to die with the whip having Onattack trigger.


freeze the game and can't be closed by task unless you close the spell first.

really if someone got this working can they place a video of this working?

[darius]

No, you misunderstood me.

The gear sentry worked at first, I tested it and spawned a small pool of lava.
Then I set up a large-scale pattern of gear assemblies, designed to fill the moat with lava.
After everything was put in place, linked up, and sealed off, the lever was set on repeat to quickly fill the moat.
A dwarf came and pulled the lever, and the FPS halved, yet no lava was produced.

I'll try and get a video up or something.

thats strange,  ran some tests and fixed minor bug with lava spawned not in a circle, but fps were ok while on repeat. Though lava gets spawned then if you disturb it, it melts the gears (if you have lava proof gears all is good).
Edit: found a bug: if gears are connected than rune could fail.

yea I noticed that things slow down and fast with the more spells I use, there was no underwater sources and I needed to farm on the mountian so I made 4 statues with the water rune and FPS had a heart attack, now they worked but my sickbay healing statues stopped working, or just decided to work whenever they felt like it between lags, crazy stuff... But then again we are the unoffical beta testers lol

hmm maybe i need to rethink the structure... although now periodic rune should be the least fps intensive.

let me guess: the fort is old and there are a lot of items? If so i can understand. There is a procedure that scans all the items for those with runes... This could take a hit on FPS. Also there are a lot breakpoints. Although they are quite fast, collective minilags could sum up to a real lag. For example with debuging printing takes too much time so FPS is about 2.

There was alot of items... lots... Hmm if the problem is that its checking every item over and over again, could you have it check them all once on startup, then have the user input a command to check all items again? Say I just made a fort nothing was encrusted with runes Spellcraft checks finds none and is done, then I make a "magic" statue, ask Spellcraft to check again, it finds the statue (saves it in a array) then run the required spells that have been encrusted. And since it checks on startup my old forts with "magic" items get checked and im good to go, unless I make another magic item, then I have to re-check. would this work? because I had to do some crazy things with my programs in this fasion ((well one of the crazy ways))

Well currently i have no way to check for user input... That's because i chose not to do gui. Thinking back maybe this was not the best choice, but it all started as a "what will happen if I..."

I had defaults on when I first try it out but the code still crash with it on or off.

Hey I don't mind that it has no gui because this thing works, and most things start from "what will happen if I.." im just stating advice now saddly, I bet if you wanted to make it gui you would have to do major re-write even possible total re-write... could you use the old spellcraft.exe as a item scanner, then it outputs a .txt file with the encrusted items which is used by another program to run spells and find magic materials? rough crude and very barbaric. Every master piece starts out as a crude idea, you just need to polish this one great work BTW

P.S. you still working on friendship lol or are you working on whichever one your mind has great ideas for lol

[darius]

Will make a tray app out of this. Need an icon somebody make one pls.

P.S. you still working on friendship lol or are you working on whichever one your mind has great ideas for lol

Friendship is kinda finished (it works!!!) , but yeah i have several projects and work on them randomly (few of them are quite dead...)

[darius]

Added (v1.08) new Spellcraft_tray.exe:
1. No auto scan (speed up for big forts)
2. 2 threads (one for gui one for hacking)
3. all logging done to logfile.txt.

Oh and i HATE winapi and all the handles that it spawns. But oh well at least this way it doesn't require any additional libs.

[Rumrusher]

could one make a race of magical beings if they all have rune based skins?

[blur]

I can't get it working. After running Spellcraft.exe, I create runes (mist or fire) and sentrys (periodic) and encrust statues with them, but after building, they behave like normal statues. What's wrong?

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

are you using the spellcraft_tray.exe or just normal spellcraft.exe, did you encrust the sentry rune first? then the other spells? and mist has a tendancy to not work sometimes try usings a water rune instead.

For spellcraft_tray.exe you have to "rescan" when you make a new "magic" item

[Deon]

If you want to generate mist, you have to create a mist through normal means first (i.e. make a cavein in a river) for the game to "load" it in the memory or something.

[AnotherDwarvernDeath]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but why wouldn't this mod work for d17?

[Deon]

Because it has different memory offsets and such.

[blur]

Now, i've tried a gear assembly first encrusted with gear sentry and then with rune of water and rescanned spellcraft_tray. There is enough power for the gear assembly to work, and I've attached it to a lever which is pulled repeatedly. Still no effect.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

are all the right files in the right places like spells.txt goes in the same folder as Spellcraft_tray.exe and the materials ad reaction go in the raws (didn't need to post where it goes) and i've never tried the gear assembly so can't help you there, I think someone had problems with that too.
