DFHack 0.47.05-r1

Fixes

  • confirm: stopped exposing alternate names when convicting units
  • embark-assistant: fixed bug in soil depth determination for ocean tiles
  • orders: don’t crash when importing orders with malformed JSON
  • prospect: improved pre embark rough estimates, particularly for small clusters
  • quickfort: raw numeric Dig priorities (e.g. 3, which is a valid shorthand for d3) now works when used in .xlsx blueprints

Misc Improvements

  • autohauler: allowed the Alchemist labor to be enabled in manipulator and other labor screens so it can be used for its intended purpose of flagging that no hauling labors should be assigned to a dwarf. Before, the only way to set the flag was to use an external program like Dwarf Therapist.
  • embark-assistant: slightly improved performance of surveying
  • gui/no-dfhack-init: clarified how to dismiss dialog that displays when no dfhack.init file is found
  • quickfort:
    • Dreamfort blueprint set improvements: significant refinements across the entire blueprint set. Dreamfort is now much faster, much more efficient, and much easier to use. The checklist now includes a mini-walkthrough for quick reference. The spreadsheet now also includes embark profile suggestions
    • added aliases for configuring masterwork and artifact core quality for all stockpile categories that have them; made it possible to take from multiple stockpiles in the quantumstop alias
    • an active cursor is no longer required for running #notes blueprints (like the dreamfort walkthrough)
    • you can now be in any mode with an active cursor when running #query blueprints (before you could only be in a few “approved” modes, like look, query, or place)
    • refined #query blueprint sanity checks: cursor should still be on target tile at end of configuration, and it’s ok for the screen ID to change if you are destroying (or canceling destruction of) a building
    • now reports how many work orders were added when generating manager orders from blueprints in the gui dialog
    • added --dry-run option to process blueprints but not change any game state
    • you can now specify the number of desired barrels, bins, and wheelbarrows for individual stockpiles when placing them
    • quickfort orders on a #place blueprint will now enqueue manager orders for barrels, bins, or wheelbarrows that are explicitly set in the blueprint.
    • you can now add alias definitions directly to your blueprint files instead of having to put them in a separate aliases.txt file. makes sharing blueprints with custom alias definitions much easier.
    • new commandline options for setting the initial state of the gui dialog. for example: quickfort gui -l dreamfort notes will start the dialog filtered for the dreamfort walkthrough blueprints

Structures

  • Dropped support for 0.47.03-0.47.04
  • Identified scattered enum values (some rhythm beats, a couple of corruption unit thoughts, and a few language name categories)
  • viewscreen_loadgamest: renamed cur_step enumeration to match style of viewscreen_adopt_regionst and viewscreen_savegamest
  • viewscreen_savegamest: identified cur_step enumeration

Documentation

DFHack 0.47.04-r5

New Scripts

Fixes

  • embark-assistant:
    • fixed order of factors when calculating min temperature
    • improved performance of surveying
  • quickfort:
    • fixed eventual crashes when creating zones
    • fixed library aliases for tallow and iron, copper, and steel weapons
    • zones are now created in the active state by default

Misc Improvements

  • Lua label widgets (used in all standard message boxes) are now scrollable with Up/Down/PgUp/PgDn keys
  • autofarm: now fallows farms if all plants have reached the desired count
  • buildingplan:
    • added ability to set global settings from the console, e.g. buildingplan set boulders false
    • added “enable all” option for buildingplan (so you don’t have to enable all building types individually). This setting is not persisted (just like quickfort_mode is not persisted), but it can be set from onMapLoad.init
    • modified Planning Mode status in the UI to show whether the plugin is in quickfort mode, “enable all” mode, or whether just the building type is enabled.
  • quickfort:
    • Dreamfort blueprint set improvements: added a streamlined checklist for all required dreamfort commands and gave names to stockpiles, levers, bridges, and zones
    • added aliases for bronze weapons and armor
    • added alias for tradeable crafts
    • new blueprint mode: #ignore, useful for scratch space or personal notes
    • implement {Empty} keycode for use in quickfort aliases; useful for defining blank-by-default alias values
    • more flexible commandline parsing allowing for more natural parameter ordering (e.g. where you used to have to write quickfort list dreamfort -l you can now write quickfort list -l dreamfort)
    • print out blueprint names that a #meta blueprint is applying so it’s easier to understand what meta blueprints are doing
    • whitespace is now allowed between a marker name and the opening parenthesis in blueprint modelines. for example, #dig start (5; 5) is now valid (you used to be required to write #dig start(5; 5))

Lua

  • dfhack.run_command(): changed to interface directly with the console when possible, which allows interactive commands and commands that detect the console encoding to work properly
  • processArgsGetopt() added to utils.lua, providing a callback interface for parameter parsing and getopt-like flexibility for parameter ordering and combination (see docs in library/lua/utils.lua and library/lua/3rdparty/alt_getopt.lua for details).

Structures

  • job: identified order_id field

Documentation

  • Added documentation for Lua’s dfhack.run_command() and variants

    • corrected river size determination by performing it at the MLT level rather than the world tile level
  • quickfort:
    • fixed handling of modifier keys (e.g. {Ctrl} or {Alt}) in query blueprints
    • fixed misconfiguration of nest boxes, hives, and slabs that were preventing them from being built from build blueprints
    • fixed valid placement detection for floor hatches, floor grates, and floor bars (they were erroneously being rejected from open spaces and staircase tops)
    • fixed query blueprint statistics being added to the wrong metric when both a query and a zone blueprint are run by the same meta blueprint
    • added missing blueprint labels in gui dialog list
    • fixed occupancy settings for extent-based structures so that stockpiles can be placed within other stockpiles (e.g. in a checkerboard or bullseye pattern)
  • search: fixed an issue where search options might not display if screens were destroyed and recreated programmatically (e.g. with quickfort)
  • unsuspend: now leaves buildingplan-managed buildings alone and doesn’t unsuspend underwater tasks

    • query blueprint aliases can now accept parameters for dynamic expansion - see dfhack-config/quickfort/aliases.txt for details
    • alias names can now include dashes and underscores (in addition to letters and numbers)
    • improved speed of first call to quickfort list significantly, especially for large blueprint libraries

API

  • buildingplan: added Lua interface API
