Is there any way to use dfhack to put dwarves into a sort of REVERSIBLE stasis where none of the stats change, they're immobile, stay happy, don't get needs, etc?

Basically, I'm looking to do a low population game for survival challenges against sieges, but dealing with migrants is the biggest problem.  I can either slaughter them all and resort to pregnancy, or lock them down until I need them.  The latter is by far the best choice because it means I will have migrant waves in the future should I need them.

I've got extremely little experience with dfhack, unfortunately, but I'd be willing to try pretty much anything.

Just downloaded the OSX version of this - it's fantastic, thank you all so so much for the work you've put into this.

Using OSX Mountain Lion (10.7.5) with the Mac Newbie pack (running DF through DFHack, using MacNewbie just for the initial setup & starting Therapist). I only want DFHack to fix bugs, since the binary patch isn't available for Mac.

Everything is working with no problems, except for tweaks that can be enabled / disabled.

Attempting to turn on "tweak patrol-duty" results in the error message "Could not activate tweak patrol-duty". Turning it off does not give an error (but I suspect it's not doing anything anyway). I have tried running "tweak patrol-duty" on it's own, and with a variety of arguments such as 1, true, on, enabled, etc.

Attempting to turn on "tweak stable-temp" outputs "Could not activate tweak stable-temp" twice, for some strange reason.

Tweaks that don't take a param seem to work fine (I tried makeown, though it did take me forever to work out which menu I was supposed to "select" the unit with).

When DFHack is loading, the terminal logs
"Could not insert Dwarf Manipulator hooks!
Can't load plugin /Applications/MacNewbie/Dwarf Fortress/hack/plugins/stonesense.plug.so"
but they don't stop things running.

Is something in my install broken? Or am I just in the wrong menu / view / location to run the commands?

I'm using a build that came with Dwarf Builder (Like I said above), and can activate tweaks with parameters without errors.
(although stable-temp does give me confirmation message *twice*)

I think everyone is having problem with stonesense (there are others like us when you go back a few pages) due to libraries that are in different places compared to the computer that built the OS X version, so that isn't just your problem for sure.

Thankyou, Ideocl4st! I had not heard of Dwarf Builder, and it has fixed my problem!

The tweaks are a bit quick and dirty, so they do give either confirmation or error messages multiple times, once for each hook it installs or removes.

Wait...are you on OS X Lion (10.7.5) or OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)?

Lion, because my fingers get ahead of me sometimes.

resident flag is what you need to fiddle with, turning it off on a dwarf will make them not ask for needs and freeze their happiness in place. slap that on a military unit and you can still issue commands to them.

How do you install this on a Mac? Do you just drag and drop all the files?

Loading up from dfhack after this doesn't produce anything and the process just hangs. I'm on OSX 10.6. Am I doing something wrong?

I... uh... accidentally(?) painted obsidian all over some candy tubes.

What would I have to do with tiletypes to paint natural candy walls?  I can't find a way to paint a specific type of material such as galena, quartzite, ruby, platinum, etc.


Honestly, the documentation on this entire tool is really bad.

Paint FEATURE WALL - and only where the adamantine actually was. You can't paint materials directly. It's simply impossible without a few extra layers of abstraction nobody wrote yet.

There's a good reason why it prints out ``THIS TOOL CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.'' every time you run it. If that's not enough indication that you should backup your stuff and proceed only then, I don't know what else to put there short of removing the tool entirely.

Also, have you seen this? https://github.com/peterix/dfhack#tiletypes

At present, 10.6 is unsupported.

However, you may be able to get it to work by opening up the dfhack script and changing this line

Code: [Select]

DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE=1

to this:

Code: [Select]

#DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE=1

Please try that and let us know.

removing the tool entirely.

HA HA NO

It's a useful tool.  However, that warning doesn't display for 'liquids', which is what I used to obsidian-ize a layer of the world.

Thanks for the info, though.  I found a little bit of a workaround involving changevein to get some other results I wanted, too.

[Rumrusher]

But shouldn't Dfhack just have a subtitle saying "THESE TOOLS CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED."
