Download NoExotic.rar (Build 2)
Download source (Build 2)

Put it in the same directory as your DF folder and let it loose. I was getting pretty annoyed at having nothing useful to do with the animals I caught due to the bugs surrounding the Dungeon Master, so I made this to solve the problem for myself and hopefully some others. It should properly modify any version of DF.

CHANGELOG:
Build 1: Eliminates all [PET_EXOTIC] and [MOUNT_EXOTIC] tags.
Build 2: Instead properly replaces them with [PET] and [MOUNT].

Awesome! thanks!

[rgon842]

Awesome tool, madk! Thanks for the release!

Question: Will NoExotic remove these tags from custom-made raw files in the Objects folder, or just the files shipped with vanilla DF?

[Untelligent]

Does it replace them with regular [PET] and [MOUNT] tags?

[madk]

@rgon
It modifies every file in your raws folder, vanilla or not.

@Unintelligent
Ah, no! I'll update a fix.


EDIT:
I fixed it, simply redownload.

Oh hey, I saw the link to here in your sig, thanks for reminding me to do this. (I went and checked mantis to see if dungeon masters had been fixed and decided to apply this to be safe.)

Hum, I just peared at the source, and I have no idea what that programming language is.  If it's windows only and linux people want to do this, I suggest:

Code: [Select]

vim creature_*
:bufdo %s/\v\[(PET|MOUNT)_EXOTIC\]/[\1]/g
:wa
:q

As an alternative .

(I'd uristmodify this but the current incarnation of Uristmod probably can't handle this; it can find the creatures and remove the tags but the new ones will get added at the end where they may be under the effect of a caste or something.)

[madk]

It's in BlitzMax. If someone wants to compile the code under Linux and MacOS, that'd be great. (The code is cross-platform.)

[King Doom]

Just trying this now, if it works as advertised, you sir are awesome!

[madk]

It works for me!

In case mad's already off for vacation ... I didn't actually execute it myself, so I'm not positive, but peering at the source it needs to go in either the raw directory or the directory containing dwarf fortress.exe; it will ask you "do you want to modify <some folder path>?" before it runs so you can see if it gets it right.

And yeah it looks like it runs a search and replace on all creature_*.txt files it can find, so it will work with whatever.

[Medicine Man]

How do i tame on fortress mode?

[tfaal]

Either buy an animal from the elves, or capture one with a cage trap. Elven ones are tame already, otherwise you'll have to build a kennels and use the "Tame a wild animal" option from the kennels' <q>uery menu.

[Medicine Man]

Thanks.

As long as you execute it in the same folder as the df executable, or the same directory as the folder df_31_0x, it will detect and affect all *.txt files in your df_31_0x\raw\objects\ folder. This means it will work with any version and any mod, no questions asked.
