[[User:Shoez|Shoez]] 18:46, 11 April 2008 (EDT)<br /> : I would guess that it was because those two tasks in particular require more information than the manager screen is able to handle. Planting seeds is dependent on too many factors; type of plant, suitable season, which farm plot. Felling trees requires the trees to be specifically marked for felling, as there is currently no other way for the game to determine which trees should be cut down ("that copse just outside the goblin fortress looks ideal"...). -- [[User:Raumkraut|Raumkraut]] 21:30, 11 April 2008 (EDT)<br /> ::These jobs are automatically generated by the AI.

What do people use the manager screen for? --[[User:AlexChurchill|AlexChurchill]] 10:13, 17 June 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :Insofar as the manager interface itself goes, it can be more convenient than tracking down workshops, it allows orders to be set up that won't go away (maybe without you noticing) if materials aren't available right this instant, and you have a summary of what you have going on to look at. Beyond that, processing work orders trains organizer skill, which is actually a comparatively easy source of legendary dwarves. &mdash;[[User:Chaos|Chaos]] 10:58, 17 June 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ::If I have, say, 200 plump helmet spawn, and I want to cook, say, 196 of them, I can order 30 and 19 lavish meals via the manager.

Also, it gets past the requirement to have the materials available at the time a dwarf decides to start working on it - the job won't be cancelled. --[[User:Tyranic-Moron|Tyranic-Moron]] 12:03, 17 June 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> The section you created based on this wound up slightly misleading.

(I turned a wood stockpile to a bed stockpile with successful stocking).<br /> I came across this after a great deal of kitchen rebuilding because my cook wouldn't fill the stockpiles. If someone more familiar with the wiki, and the game, could confirm this and edit the page it would be appreciated, it's something that should be out there. [[User:Scribbler|Scribbler]] 14:24, 26 September 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> : I have not had this problem, although I do need to be careful making sure that I actually adjust the cus{{k|t}}om stockpile settings before placing the stockpile, and then being sure that I'm still placing a custom stockpile.

Whenever I have two stockpiles of the same type but different things accepted (like two refuse piles where one accepts only bones, shells, and skulls and the other accepts all except those), only one gets used. Individually, either one will get them correctly, but when I have both, one gets ignored. [[User:Greep|Greep]] 04:01, 12 June 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Regarding custom stockpiles: I'm pretty sure that setting one up using the custom menu is 100% identical to setting up a standard one and then editing it. Caveats: You're more likely to mess up the selection when using custom (because it remembers your prior one), whereas you're more likely to mess up the barrels / bins settings when editing an existing one (because those are only set at creation time).<br /> <br /> :Remember also that items must match ALL filters. That means you must allow some or all "metals" / "materials" selections; some or all "core quality" and "total quality" modifiers; "usable" and/or "unusable" for weapons/armour; etc. Selecting "weapons, bolts, steel, masterful, usable" will get you '''only''' masterful steel bolts, and that's also the '''minimum''' needed to get them. Even something as broad as "weapons, bolts, all materials/metals, all qualities" will get you exactly nothing if you accidentally uncheck "usable".<br /> <br /> :Also, remember that dwarves may not move items in barrels/bins between stockpiles unless the new stockpile also accepts barrels/bins. To truly unbarrel / unbin stuff, you may have to dump it and reclaim it.<br /> <br /> :Regarding the scenario of a more selective stockpile accepting a subset of what a broader stockpile accepts: This will typically not work unless you use "take from stockpile" (from broad to selective) or simply turn off some stuff in the broader one so there's no longer an overlap. There is no rule that says "put items in the most specific stockpile".<br /> <br /> :Regarding not being able to use multiple refuse piles: Remember that dwarves will not collect outdoor refuse unless you enable it. That means you cannot create a stockpile for corpses / bodyparts (not bones) outdoors, and a stockpile for bones (not corpses) indoors, and expect your dwarves to take the bones indoors once the corpses rot away. You must use {{k|o}}-{{k|r}}-{{k|o}} to enable outdoor refuse collection.<br /> <br /> :Hope these help. Maybe they should be in the article, dunno.

In mining, they'll gravitate toward the top left every time. Set up a huge stockpile, maybe 20x20, and they'll fill the top row from the left first, then go to the second row, walking over the closer ones to get to that top row. It's possible that stockpiles are being treated the same, or something parallel. If you have your custom piles draw from the generic ones, that might solve it, if after a wasted task to put the items in the generic stockpile the first time. But either way, bottom line is: if you want a custom stockpile with X in it, your generic stockpiles have to be tweaked to NOT accept X.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 16:50, 13 June 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Bins ==<br /> <br /> how do I make my bins get to the "right" stockpiles (ie i want to put stone in bins to compact it but so far my bin is sitting in a "finished goods" stockpile)[[User:GarrieIrons|GarrieIrons]] 09:40, 4 January 2008 (EST)<br /> <br /> :Raw objects generally can't be put in bins, only "processed" goods.

It seems that stockpiles set to "unusable" will only collect things that dwarfs can't possibly ever use, not even in Adventure mode (ex: big human two-handed weapons such as a halberd), but while technically things like whips and scimitars aren't unusable, dwarfs in Fortress mode will never equip them - no such option in the Military screen. Or will they use, for example, a scimitar if set to use swords? Will that use the Swordsdwarf skill?

Stockpile A is set to accept only skull totems, zero bin maximum, and take from Stockpile B which is set to accept finished goods (incl. skull totems) and has a non-zero bin maximum. However, I find my dwarfs are moving items from A to B, when they should be moving totems from B to A.<br /> <br /> I've only had this problem with skull totems, but I don't think it has to do with the totems themselves, but rather because this is the only time I've been attempting to move items from a stockpile that uses bins to one that does not. Has anyone else seen this? I need to do some testing, but I think the desire to put things in bins on stockpiles overrides the desire to take things from one stockpile to another. --[[User:Mattmoss|Mattmoss]] 18:02, 21 May 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :You could edit the priority of putting items in a bin, over just sitting on the ground.

Wikipedia has no preference over the variant used, but there should be consistency in each article. The first user who makes an edit which disambiguates the variety being used in the article is considered the first major contributor and all subsequent edits to that article should use the same type of english.

I'd like to have everybody's opinion on this. If you people think that having German (and maybe other languages eventually) translations on the main wiki is going to be annoying, tell me. I can also setup a new wiki on a subdomain (de.dwarffortresswiki.net for example). How would it be best organized? Should I use [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Languages LanguageTemplates]? Is there a need for other additional languages? --[[User:Senso|Senso]] 09:31, 17 January 2008 (EST)<br /> <br /> :Since Dwarf Fortress is only available in English, if you can play the game, you can also read the wiki.

For this reason, I do not believe that we can successfully create a DFwiki in a different language with the resources that we have at the moment. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 11:21, 11 December 2008 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Version of MediaWiki? ==<br /> <br /> Sorry if this is completely the wrong place, but does anybody know which version of MediaWiki these pages uses?<br /> Maybe that information could be included in the page About DwarfFortressWiki? --[[User:Gauteamus|Gauteamus]] 17:00, 17 December 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> :I think I found out.

Most of them are still correct (or nearly so) and it would be nice not to have to switch between this and the old wiki any more. I can add a disclaimer to them stating I pulled them from the archives if that's appropriate. --[[User:Xazak|Xazak]] 15:07, 2 November 2007 (EDT)<br /> :IMO (and I'm not admin or anything) it should be ok but only if you are 100% sure EVERYTHING is correct, and have verified it personally.

This is my first time editing a wiki so feel free to make corrections for me if you want, just leave me a message on the page letting me know where I went wrong.

New player here, and I use the wiki to reference items I require but do not know how to build. I may be a bit slow, but it took me half a year to figure out I needed a Weaponsmith to make new Iron Picks. The wiki page only mentions the Metalsmith's Forge, and it never occurred to me that Weaponsmiths use the same workshop, since a pick is physically both wood and iron. Having a description that says exactly what is needed to create an item would be very useful for new players. --[[User:T.D.|tuxdelux]] 15:15, 8 October 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ::A pick is actually all iron, at the moment, no wood to it.

Yes, a TON of stuff has changed, but a lot also has not, and a lot of the core concepts are the same... so I would imagine many of us who have played the previous version(s) would love a section where we can see a list of new basics we have to learn, along with links to those things' individual pages... like, z-axis (obviously), mechanisms, fluid dynamics, nobles, elevation/slope, farming... you get the idea. --[[User:Cliffjeff|Cliffjeff]] 11:43, 30 October 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :Yea, I'm thinking not. Isn't the whole point of DF finding things out on your own? "Losing is Fun" and all that. Ok, so if we summarized all the changes, and someone (like me) didn't want to know we could not just not look at it right? What can I say? I'M WEAK! If we summarize the changes I will CONSUME it!

That is how I am writing my edits. --[[User:Markavian|Markavian]] 23:26, 31 October 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ::The thing is, the whole idea of the wiki kind of goes against 'finding things out on your own'. If you want to be completely surprised by a game, don't read a wiki specifically intended to reveal all the details about it... sure, we do put warnings on the most spoily stuff, but at the end of the day this is a Wiki intended to document everything about Dwarf Fortress, so just about every page is going to be a spoiler to some degree. --[[User:Aquillion|Aquillion]] 03:12, 9 May 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :To add my take on this subject... I think that this is a gigantic game, in some ways more complex then any of the Elder Scrolls game. I mean, in the ES games, you have weapons, armor and others... In this game you have an exceptionally large number of items of many different types and purposes... It's very difficult for newbies to fathom exactly what an item is used for. Without this Wiki, I think a lot of people would struggle with this game.

I have seen, that some sections of this wiki contain information about bugs. I think I have found one, but don't where to put it, or whether it is already here. I am also sorry, if this isn't the right place. If so, please delete this entry.<br /> <br /> Anyway, if your furniture stockpile isn't big enough, and you try to put furniture into a specific room,it is sometimes possible, that that furniture won't be put. Instead, it will be blinking forever.

If you have objections, please speak now. --[[User:Senso|Senso]] 12:33, 9 October 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :Regarding outright deletion: I'd prefer you didn't.

I figure we can go one of two routes. We can either claim that DF is an american topic, since it's being made in america by an american and the wiki is on an american domain&mdash;or we can say DF is an international topic since people from all over are funding Toady. If it's an international topic, we might as well follow the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English wikipedia manual of style]. Wikipedia has no preference over the variant used, but there should be consistency in each article. The first user who makes an edit which disambiguates the variety being used in the article is considered the first major contributor and all subsequent edits to that article should use the same type of english. If in doubt, we have history pages. I think the reason you see british english more often in the wiki is because we've had a few editors who in their extreme modesty decided british english is superior and changed several of the american english articles over.

This would different from the "Stories" section, which is more prose. (This is 'cause I'd like to post the log of a battle I had with a particularly clumsy Giant, who slammed into a wall allowing me to stab him in the back of the head for the eventual win.

[[User:Runspotrun|Runspotrun]] 16:43, 8 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> Also, is there a suggestions pages? This probably isn't the best page to add ideas... [[User:Runspotrun|Runspotrun]] 16:44, 8 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Importing old entries ==<br /> <br /> What's the stance on importing entries from the old wiki for stuff like general item stats? Most of them are still correct (or nearly so) and it would be nice not to have to switch between this and the old wiki any more.

This is my first time editing a wiki so feel free to make corrections for me if you want, just leave me a message on the page letting me know where I went wrong.

New player here, and I use the wiki to reference items I require but do not know how to build. I may be a bit slow, but it took me half a year to figure out I needed a Weaponsmith to make new Iron Picks. The wiki page only mentions the Metalsmith's Forge, and it never occurred to me that Weaponsmiths use the same workshop, since a pick is physically both wood and iron. Having a description that says exactly what is needed to create an item would be very useful for new players. --[[User:T.D.|tuxdelux]] 15:15, 8 October 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ::A pick is actually all iron, at the moment, no wood to it.

Yes, a TON of stuff has changed, but a lot also has not, and a lot of the core concepts are the same... so I would imagine many of us who have played the previous version(s) would love a section where we can see a list of new basics we have to learn, along with links to those things' individual pages... like, z-axis (obviously), mechanisms, fluid dynamics, nobles, elevation/slope, farming... you get the idea. --[[User:Cliffjeff|Cliffjeff]] 11:43, 30 October 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :Yea, I'm thinking not. Isn't the whole point of DF finding things out on your own? "Losing is Fun" and all that. Ok, so if we summarized all the changes, and someone (like me) didn't want to know we could not just not look at it right? What can I say? I'M WEAK! If we summarize the changes I will CONSUME it! (I'm only here because I still have another 6 hours of work before I can go home and try it!)<br /> <br /> ::Meanwhile, I'm lazy and stubborn and would love a consolidated list of only new things I need to know =p and I'm also trapped at work and unable to mess around in the game :( but if the whole point was finding out things on your own, why would we have a wiki? ;p --[[User:Cliffjeff|Cliffjeff]] 15:58, 30 October 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :::I agree, I think the change guide is a good idea, and it would also help us direct our attention at the articles that are likely to need the most work. --[[User:Peristarkawan|Peristarkawan]] 16:01, 30 October 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ::::It ought not to be very hard to generate a basic change guide based on the official change notes, and then update it as the details are discovered. --[[User:Bobson|Bobson]] 16:26, 30 October 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :::A change guide 'page' might be useful pointing out major differences but I think the style of the wiki should be aimed at new users who know nothing of previous versions.

That is how I am writing my edits. --[[User:Markavian|Markavian]] 23:26, 31 October 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ::The thing is, the whole idea of the wiki kind of goes against 'finding things out on your own'. If you want to be completely surprised by a game, don't read a wiki specifically intended to reveal all the details about it... sure, we do put warnings on the most spoily stuff, but at the end of the day this is a Wiki intended to document everything about Dwarf Fortress, so just about every page is going to be a spoiler to some degree. --[[User:Aquillion|Aquillion]] 03:12, 9 May 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :To add my take on this subject... I think that this is a gigantic game, in some ways more complex then any of the Elder Scrolls game. I mean, in the ES games, you have weapons, armor and others... In this game you have an exceptionally large number of items of many different types and purposes... It's very difficult for newbies to fathom exactly what an item is used for. Without this Wiki, I think a lot of people would struggle with this game. [[User:AlexFili|AlexFili]] 05:59, 9 May 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :Although this is a bit late, Toady does summarize version changes in a text file in the game's main folder. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 11:21, 11 December 2008 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Possible bugs ==<br /> <br /> Hi, this is my first time writing to any wiki.<br /> <br /> I am writing about possible bugs. I have seen, that some sections of this wiki contain information about bugs. I think I have found one, but don't where to put it, or whether it is already here. I am also sorry, if this isn't the right place. If so, please delete this entry.<br /> <br /> Anyway, if your furniture stockpile isn't big enough, and you try to put furniture into a specific room,it is sometimes possible, that that furniture won't be put. Instead, it will be blinking forever. You can change it functioning (make bedroom, throne room...) but to be honest, I don't know if this item is actually there, or not.<br /> <br /> == alternate site???? ==<br /> <br /> there appears to be a very similar site at <br /> http://dwarf.lendemaindeveille.com/index.php/Immigration<br /> (not just that adress)<br /> what is the diffrence???<br /> <br /> That's the address which was originally used for the site, before Senso registered a separate domain for it (dwarffortresswiki.net). Both domains are valid and point to the same content, so they're interchangeable. --[[User:Janus|Janus]] 20:59, 21 August 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == Shutting down the archive ==<br /> <br /> In about two weeks, I will shutdown the read-only archive (http://archive.dwarffortresswiki.net) as I believe we've been using the current versions long enough. I'm also looking at ways to reduce the server load, disk space used and bandwidth consumed. So there. If articles were not ported to the current wiki, please do ASAP. If you have objections, please speak now. --[[User:Senso|Senso]] 12:33, 9 October 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :Regarding outright deletion: I'd prefer you didn't. Is there at least a way to preseve it in some downloadable format? The old version of the game was interesting in its intrinsic danger, and besides that, I have a succession game using that version.

I figure we can go one of two routes. We can either claim that DF is an american topic, since it's being made in america by an american and the wiki is on an american domain&mdash;or we can say DF is an international topic since people from all over are funding Toady. If it's an international topic, we might as well follow the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English wikipedia manual of style]. Wikipedia has no preference over the variant used, but there should be consistency in each article. The first user who makes an edit which disambiguates the variety being used in the article is considered the first major contributor and all subsequent edits to that article should use the same type of english. If in doubt, we have history pages. I think the reason you see british english more often in the wiki is because we've had a few editors who in their extreme modesty decided british english is superior and changed several of the american english articles over. I've noticed this happening on a few occasions. (please dont do that).

The wiki page only mentions the Metalsmith's Forge, and it never occurred to me that Weaponsmiths use the same workshop, since a pick is physically both wood and iron.

I figure we can go one of two routes. We can either claim that DF is an american topic, since it's being made in america by an american and the wiki is on an american domain&mdash;or we can say DF is an international topic since people from all over are funding Toady. If it's an international topic, we might as well follow the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English wikipedia manual of style]. Wikipedia has no preference over the variant used, but there should be consistency in each article. The first user who makes an edit which disambiguates the variety being used in the article is considered the first major contributor and all subsequent edits to that article should use the same type of english. If in doubt, we have history pages. I think the reason you see british english more often in the wiki is because we've had a few editors who in their extreme modesty decided british english is superior and changed several of the american english articles over. I've noticed this happening on a few occasions. (please dont do that).

I'm not sure on the colors though so have at it where I'm off :) --[[User:Chthon|Chthon]] 11:33, 3 November 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :Would like to second the build-tree suggestion. New player here, and I use the wiki to reference items I require but do not know how to build. I may be a bit slow, but it took me half a year to figure out I needed a Weaponsmith to make new Iron Picks. The wiki page only mentions the Metalsmith's Forge, and it never occurred to me that Weaponsmiths use the same workshop, since a pick is physically both wood and iron. Having a description that says exactly what is needed to create an item would be very useful for new players. --[[User:T.D.|tuxdelux]] 15:15, 8 October 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ::A pick is actually all iron, at the moment, no wood to it.

Yes, a TON of stuff has changed, but a lot also has not, and a lot of the core concepts are the same... so I would imagine many of us who have played the previous version(s) would love a section where we can see a list of new basics we have to learn, along with links to those things' individual pages... like, z-axis (obviously), mechanisms, fluid dynamics, nobles, elevation/slope, farming... you get the idea. --[[User:Cliffjeff|Cliffjeff]] 11:43, 30 October 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :Yea, I'm thinking not. Isn't the whole point of DF finding things out on your own? "Losing is Fun" and all that.

I think that this is a gigantic game, in some ways more complex then any of the Elder Scrolls game. I mean, in the ES games, you have weapons, armor and others... In this game you have an exceptionally large number of items of many different types and purposes... It's very difficult for newbies to fathom exactly what an item is used for.

I changed this to "Z-axis version", to reduce newbie confusion (thinking there's a fully-3D graphical version could be disappointing) but now I'm starting to wonder if maybe "new version" would be best after all. As far as I can tell, "new version" doesn't just mean all of the versions since the October 2007 release, but rather the ''latest'' version.<br><br /> That said, that's what I'll tweak it to. --[[User:JT|JT]] 19:47, 29 July 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :IMO if the phrase "new version" is being used to refer to the "Z-axis version" of the game, then it isn't really clear enough. With Toady's regular updates, talking just about "new versions" is a little too ambiguous. How about the phrases "multi-level version" or "multi-floor version"? Either of those would be clearer I think. "Z-axis version" is also good for me.

By 'suitable', I mean easy to use and without requiring a lot of extras before it will work (most I found require you to set up a server with a MySQL database and apache - I already meet those requirements on my desktop, but that almost defeats the purpose of downloading the wiki in the first place).

I figure we can go one of two routes. We can either claim that DF is an american topic, since it's being made in america by an american and the wiki is on an american domain&mdash;or we can say DF is an international topic since people from all over are funding Toady. If it's an international topic, we might as well follow the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English wikipedia manual of style]. Wikipedia has no preference over the variant used, but there should be consistency in each article. The first user who makes an edit which disambiguates the variety being used in the article is considered the first major contributor and all subsequent edits to that article should use the same type of english. If in doubt, we have history pages. I think the reason you see british english more often in the wiki is because we've had a few editors who in their extreme modesty decided british english is superior and changed several of the american english articles over. I've noticed this happening on a few occasions. (please dont do that).

I am also sorry, if this isn't the right place. If so, please delete this entry.<br /> <br /> Anyway, if your furniture stockpile isn't big enough, and you try to put furniture into a specific room,it is sometimes possible, that that furniture won't be put. Instead, it will be blinking forever. You can change it functioning (make bedroom, throne room...) but to be honest, I don't know if this item is actually there, or not.<br /> <br /> == alternate site???? ==<br /> <br /> there appears to be a very similar site at <br /> http://dwarf.lendemaindeveille.com/index.php/Immigration<br /> (not just that adress)<br /> what is the diffrence???<br /> <br /> That's the address which was originally used for the site, before Senso registered a separate domain for it (dwarffortresswiki.net).

<p>Daedalusai: /* Tile Counter or Scrolling Accelerator */</p> <hr /> <div>Playing Dwarf Fortress means lots of typing. Although the game (as of version v0.27.176.38c) has no internal macro/keymap system, using an external program can save you a great deal of time when dumping, rewalling, designating, and so forth.<br /> <br /> # Go to [[Utilities#AutoHotKey]] and download AutoHotKey. Installation is simple and the program uses few system resources.<br /> # Write macro scripts (file type .ahk), which may contain any number of commands. You activate scripts by double-clicking .ahk files and deactivate them by right-clicking the AutoHotKey icon on the task bar. Both of these can be done at any time - even right in the middle of a game. AutoHotKey also allows for automated activation of scripts.<br /> <br /> <br /> == AutoHotKey Examples ==<br /> <br /> ===Dumping===<br /> ====Stock Screen Dump====<br /> Taken from an old version of [[User:Jackard|Jackard's user page]].<br /> <br /> To use, first have your bookeeper do enough desk work so you can view individual items in the stocks listing. Then bring it up and press del to quickly mark stuff. To adjust the key repeat rate, edit the KEY_HOLD_MS value in \data\init\init.txt.<br /> <br /> <pre><br /> del::<br /> IfWinActive Dwarf Fortress<br /> {<br /> send d{down}<br /> return<br /> }<br /> else<br /> {<br /> send {del}<br /> return<br /> }<br /> </pre><br /> <br /> ====Designation Dump====<br /> A dumping script by [[User:Dukederek|Dukederek]]:<br /> <br /> This script uses a system similar the commands in the designations menu to mark most of the contents of a large area for dumping. [[User:Dukederek|My talk page]] has more detailed instruction.<br /> <br /> Essentially you need to create two text files with the following titles and content. When playing DF it is safe to have blockdumpinit running constantly as long as you dont plan on using the ctrl-d combination for something else.<br /> <br /> '''blockdumpinit.ahk'''<br /> <pre><br /> ^d::<br /> RunWait, "blockdumpmain.ahk"<br /> Return<br /> </pre><br /> <br /> '''blockdumpmain.ahk'''<br /> <pre><br /> SetKeyDelay 25<br /> return::<br /> Send k<br /> return<br /> up::<br /> Send w<br /> return<br /> left::<br /> Send a<br /> return<br /> down::<br /> Send s<br /> return<br /> right::<br /> Send d<br /> return<br /> q::<br /> ExitApp<br /> return<br /> shift::<br /> x := 0<br /> y := 1<br /> Loop{<br /> Input, keypress, B, {esc} , w,a,s,d,k,q<br /> if keypress = w<br /> {<br /> y := --y<br /> Send {up}<br /> continue<br /> }else if keypress = s<br /> {<br /> y := ++y<br /> Send {down}<br /> continue<br /> }else if keypress = a<br /> {<br /> x := --x<br /> Send {left}<br /> continue<br /> }else if keypress = d<br /> {<br /> x := ++x<br /> Send {right}<br /> continue<br /> }else if keypress = k <br /> {<br /> break<br /> }else if keypress = q<br /> {<br /> ExitApp<br /> }<br /> }<br /> y := y / 2<br /> z := y<br /> z := Floor(z)<br /> z := y/z<br /> Send d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> If z = 0<br /> { <br /> If x = 0<br /> ExitApp<br /> Else{<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {left}d<br /> }ExitApp<br /> }<br /> }If z <> 1<br /> {<br /> Loop %y%{<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {left}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send {up}d<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {right}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send {up}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Loop %x%{<br /> Send {left}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }<br /> }Else If z = 1<br /> {<br /> y := y + 0.5<br /> Loop %y%{<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {left}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send {up}d<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {right}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send {up}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send d{NumpadSub}d<br /> }ExitApp<br /> </pre><br /> <br /> ===Rewalling ===<br /> Taken from [[User:Valdemar|Valdemar's user page]].<br /> <br /> This is a macro to aid with rewalling. To use, copy-paste the script into a new .ahk file and run the script with AutoHotkey. Then, in Dwarf Fortress, press b-C-w, move the cursor to where you want to start the wall, and hold Ctrl-Shift-Arrowkey, using the direction you want to rewall in. To build floors, press b-C-f instead, and use Ctrl-Alt-Arrowkey. To stop, just release the keys.<br /> <br /> The script will use the first material in the list. I suggest you create a stockpile near the construction site that only accepts the item you wish to build with and temporarily forbid any nearby materials you don't want to build with. <br /> <br /> <pre><br /> $^+Left:: ProcessEvent("Left","w")<br /> $^+Right:: ProcessEvent("Right","w")<br /> $^+Up:: ProcessEvent("Up","w")<br /> $^+Down:: ProcessEvent("Down","w")<br /> <br /> $^!Left:: ProcessEvent("Left","f")<br /> $^!Right:: ProcessEvent("Right","f")<br /> $^!Up:: ProcessEvent("Up","f")<br /> $^!Down:: ProcessEvent("Down","f")<br /> <br /> <br /> ProcessEvent(direction, type)<br /> { <br /> Send {Enter}<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send {Enter}<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send %type%<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send {%direction%}<br /> Loop<br /> {<br /> if not GetKeyState(direction, "P") <br /> break <br /> Send {Enter}<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send {Enter}<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send %type%<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send {%direction%}<br /> }<br /> }<br /> </pre><br /> <br /> <br /> ===Grid-by-grid designation===<br /> For easier diagonal and fancy mining.

<p>Daedalusai: /* Tile Counter or Scrolling Accelerator */</p> <hr /> <div>Playing Dwarf Fortress means lots of typing. Although the game (as of version v0.27.176.38c) has no internal macro/keymap system, using an external program can save you a great deal of time when dumping, rewalling, designating, and so forth.<br /> <br /> # Go to [[Utilities#AutoHotKey]] and download AutoHotKey. Installation is simple and the program uses few system resources.<br /> # Write macro scripts (file type .ahk), which may contain any number of commands. You activate scripts by double-clicking .ahk files and deactivate them by right-clicking the AutoHotKey icon on the task bar. Both of these can be done at any time - even right in the middle of a game. AutoHotKey also allows for automated activation of scripts.<br /> <br /> <br /> == AutoHotKey Examples ==<br /> <br /> ===Dumping===<br /> ====Stock Screen Dump====<br /> Taken from an old version of [[User:Jackard|Jackard's user page]].<br /> <br /> To use, first have your bookeeper do enough desk work so you can view individual items in the stocks listing. Then bring it up and press del to quickly mark stuff. To adjust the key repeat rate, edit the KEY_HOLD_MS value in \data\init\init.txt.<br /> <br /> <pre><br /> del::<br /> IfWinActive Dwarf Fortress<br /> {<br /> send d{down}<br /> return<br /> }<br /> else<br /> {<br /> send {del}<br /> return<br /> }<br /> </pre><br /> <br /> ====Designation Dump====<br /> A dumping script by [[User:Dukederek|Dukederek]]:<br /> <br /> This script uses a system similar the commands in the designations menu to mark most of the contents of a large area for dumping. [[User:Dukederek|My talk page]] has more detailed instruction.<br /> <br /> Essentially you need to create two text files with the following titles and content. When playing DF it is safe to have blockdumpinit running constantly as long as you dont plan on using the ctrl-d combination for something else.<br /> <br /> '''blockdumpinit.ahk'''<br /> <pre><br /> ^d::<br /> RunWait, "blockdumpmain.ahk"<br /> Return<br /> </pre><br /> <br /> '''blockdumpmain.ahk'''<br /> <pre><br /> SetKeyDelay 25<br /> return::<br /> Send k<br /> return<br /> up::<br /> Send w<br /> return<br /> left::<br /> Send a<br /> return<br /> down::<br /> Send s<br /> return<br /> right::<br /> Send d<br /> return<br /> q::<br /> ExitApp<br /> return<br /> shift::<br /> x := 0<br /> y := 1<br /> Loop{<br /> Input, keypress, B, {esc} , w,a,s,d,k,q<br /> if keypress = w<br /> {<br /> y := --y<br /> Send {up}<br /> continue<br /> }else if keypress = s<br /> {<br /> y := ++y<br /> Send {down}<br /> continue<br /> }else if keypress = a<br /> {<br /> x := --x<br /> Send {left}<br /> continue<br /> }else if keypress = d<br /> {<br /> x := ++x<br /> Send {right}<br /> continue<br /> }else if keypress = k <br /> {<br /> break<br /> }else if keypress = q<br /> {<br /> ExitApp<br /> }<br /> }<br /> y := y / 2<br /> z := y<br /> z := Floor(z)<br /> z := y/z<br /> Send d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> If z = 0<br /> { <br /> If x = 0<br /> ExitApp<br /> Else{<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {left}d<br /> }ExitApp<br /> }<br /> }If z <> 1<br /> {<br /> Loop %y%{<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {left}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send {up}d<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {right}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send {up}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Loop %x%{<br /> Send {left}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }<br /> }Else If z = 1<br /> {<br /> y := y + 0.5<br /> Loop %y%{<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {left}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send {up}d<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {right}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send {up}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send d{NumpadSub}d<br /> }ExitApp<br /> </pre><br /> <br /> ===Rewalling ===<br /> Taken from [[User:Valdemar|Valdemar's user page]].<br /> <br /> This is a macro to aid with rewalling. To use, copy-paste the script into a new .ahk file and run the script with AutoHotkey. Then, in Dwarf Fortress, press b-C-w, move the cursor to where you want to start the wall, and hold Ctrl-Shift-Arrowkey, using the direction you want to rewall in. To build floors, press b-C-f instead, and use Ctrl-Alt-Arrowkey. To stop, just release the keys.<br /> <br /> The script will use the first material in the list. I suggest you create a stockpile near the construction site that only accepts the item you wish to build with and temporarily forbid any nearby materials you don't want to build with. <br /> <br /> <pre><br /> $^+Left:: ProcessEvent("Left","w")<br /> $^+Right:: ProcessEvent("Right","w")<br /> $^+Up:: ProcessEvent("Up","w")<br /> $^+Down:: ProcessEvent("Down","w")<br /> <br /> $^!Left:: ProcessEvent("Left","f")<br /> $^!Right:: ProcessEvent("Right","f")<br /> $^!Up:: ProcessEvent("Up","f")<br /> $^!Down:: ProcessEvent("Down","f")<br /> <br /> <br /> ProcessEvent(direction, type)<br /> { <br /> Send {Enter}<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send {Enter}<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send %type%<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send {%direction%}<br /> Loop<br /> {<br /> if not GetKeyState(direction, "P") <br /> break <br /> Send {Enter}<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send {Enter}<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send %type%<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send {%direction%}<br /> }<br /> }<br /> </pre><br /> <br /> <br /> ===Grid-by-grid designation===<br /> For easier diagonal and fancy mining.

<p>Daedalusai: add script name</p> <hr /> <div>Playing Dwarf Fortress means lots of typing. Although the game (as of version v0.27.176.38c) has no internal macro/keymap system, using an external program can save you a great deal of time when dumping, rewalling, designating, and so forth.<br /> <br /> # Go to [[Utilities#AutoHotKey]] and download AutoHotKey. Installation is simple and the program uses few system resources.<br /> # Write macro scripts (file type .ahk), which may contain any number of commands. You activate scripts by double-clicking .ahk files and deactivate them by right-clicking the AutoHotKey icon on the task bar. Both of these can be done at any time - even right in the middle of a game. AutoHotKey also allows for automated activation of scripts.<br /> <br /> <br /> == AutoHotKey Examples ==<br /> <br /> ===Dumping===<br /> ====Stock Screen Dump====<br /> Taken from an old version of [[User:Jackard|Jackard's user page]].<br /> <br /> To use, first have your bookeeper do enough desk work so you can view individual items in the stocks listing. Then bring it up and press del to quickly mark stuff. To adjust the key repeat rate, edit the KEY_HOLD_MS value in \data\init\init.txt.<br /> <br /> <pre><br /> del::<br /> IfWinActive Dwarf Fortress<br /> {<br /> send d{down}<br /> return<br /> }<br /> else<br /> {<br /> send {del}<br /> return<br /> }<br /> </pre><br /> <br /> ====Designation Dump====<br /> A dumping script by [[User:Dukederek|Dukederek]]:<br /> <br /> This script uses a system similar the commands in the designations menu to mark most of the contents of a large area for dumping. [[User:Dukederek|My talk page]] has more detailed instruction.<br /> <br /> Essentially you need to create two text files with the following titles and content. When playing DF it is safe to have blockdumpinit running constantly as long as you dont plan on using the ctrl-d combination for something else.<br /> <br /> '''blockdumpinit.ahk'''<br /> <pre><br /> ^d::<br /> RunWait, "blockdumpmain.ahk"<br /> Return<br /> </pre><br /> <br /> '''blockdumpmain.ahk'''<br /> <pre><br /> SetKeyDelay 25<br /> return::<br /> Send k<br /> return<br /> up::<br /> Send w<br /> return<br /> left::<br /> Send a<br /> return<br /> down::<br /> Send s<br /> return<br /> right::<br /> Send d<br /> return<br /> q::<br /> ExitApp<br /> return<br /> shift::<br /> x := 0<br /> y := 1<br /> Loop{<br /> Input, keypress, B, {esc} , w,a,s,d,k,q<br /> if keypress = w<br /> {<br /> y := --y<br /> Send {up}<br /> continue<br /> }else if keypress = s<br /> {<br /> y := ++y<br /> Send {down}<br /> continue<br /> }else if keypress = a<br /> {<br /> x := --x<br /> Send {left}<br /> continue<br /> }else if keypress = d<br /> {<br /> x := ++x<br /> Send {right}<br /> continue<br /> }else if keypress = k <br /> {<br /> break<br /> }else if keypress = q<br /> {<br /> ExitApp<br /> }<br /> }<br /> y := y / 2<br /> z := y<br /> z := Floor(z)<br /> z := y/z<br /> Send d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> If z = 0<br /> { <br /> If x = 0<br /> ExitApp<br /> Else{<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {left}d<br /> }ExitApp<br /> }<br /> }If z <> 1<br /> {<br /> Loop %y%{<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {left}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send {up}d<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {right}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send {up}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Loop %x%{<br /> Send {left}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }<br /> }Else If z = 1<br /> {<br /> y := y + 0.5<br /> Loop %y%{<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {left}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send {up}d<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {right}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send {up}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send d{NumpadSub}d<br /> }ExitApp<br /> </pre><br /> <br /> ===Rewalling ===<br /> Taken from [[User:Valdemar|Valdemar's user page]].<br /> <br /> This is a macro to aid with rewalling. To use, copy-paste the script into a new .ahk file and run the script with AutoHotkey. Then, in Dwarf Fortress, press b-C-w, move the cursor to where you want to start the wall, and hold Ctrl-Shift-Arrowkey, using the direction you want to rewall in. To build floors, press b-C-f instead, and use Ctrl-Alt-Arrowkey. To stop, just release the keys.<br /> <br /> The script will use the first material in the list. I suggest you create a stockpile near the construction site that only accepts the item you wish to build with and temporarily forbid any nearby materials you don't want to build with. <br /> <br /> <pre><br /> $^+Left:: ProcessEvent("Left","w")<br /> $^+Right:: ProcessEvent("Right","w")<br /> $^+Up:: ProcessEvent("Up","w")<br /> $^+Down:: ProcessEvent("Down","w")<br /> <br /> $^!Left:: ProcessEvent("Left","f")<br /> $^!Right:: ProcessEvent("Right","f")<br /> $^!Up:: ProcessEvent("Up","f")<br /> $^!Down:: ProcessEvent("Down","f")<br /> <br /> <br /> ProcessEvent(direction, type)<br /> { <br /> Send {Enter}<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send {Enter}<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send %type%<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send {%direction%}<br /> Loop<br /> {<br /> if not GetKeyState(direction, "P") <br /> break <br /> Send {Enter}<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send {Enter}<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send %type%<br /> Sleep 100<br /> Send {%direction%}<br /> }<br /> }<br /> </pre><br /> <br /> <br /> ===Grid-by-grid designation===<br /> For easier diagonal and fancy mining.

<p>Daedalusai: show coordinate script</p> <hr /> <div>Playing Dwarf Fortress means lots of typing. Although the game (as of version v0.27.176.38c) has no internal macro/keymap system, using an external program can save you a great deal of time when dumping, rewalling, designating, and so forth.<br /> <br /> # Go to [[Utilities#AutoHotKey]] and download AutoHotKey. Installation is simple and the program uses few system resources.<br /> # Write macro scripts (file type .ahk), which may contain any number of commands. You activate scripts by double-clicking .ahk files and deactivate them by right-clicking the AutoHotKey icon on the task bar. Both of these can be done at any time - even right in the middle of a game. AutoHotKey also allows for automated activation of scripts.<br /> <br /> <br /> == AutoHotKey Examples ==<br /> <br /> ===Dumping===<br /> ====Stock Screen Dump====<br /> Taken from an old version of [[User:Jackard|Jackard's user page]].<br /> <br /> To use, first have your bookeeper do enough desk work so you can view individual items in the stocks listing. Then bring it up and press del to quickly mark stuff. To adjust the key repeat rate, edit the KEY_HOLD_MS value in \data\init\init.txt.<br /> <br /> <pre><br /> del::<br /> IfWinActive Dwarf Fortress<br /> {<br /> send d{down}<br /> return<br /> }<br /> else<br /> {<br /> send {del}<br /> return<br /> }<br /> </pre><br /> <br /> ====Designation Dump====<br /> A dumping script by [[User:Dukederek|Dukederek]]:<br /> <br /> This script uses a system similar the commands in the designations menu to mark most of the contents of a large area for dumping. [[User:Dukederek|My talk page]] has more detailed instruction.<br /> <br /> Essentially you need to create two text files with the following titles and content. When playing DF it is safe to have blockdumpinit running constantly as long as you dont plan on using the ctrl-d combination for something else.<br /> <br /> '''blockdumpinit.ahk'''<br /> <pre><br /> ^d::<br /> RunWait, "blockdumpmain.ahk"<br /> Return<br /> </pre><br /> <br /> '''blockdumpmain.ahk'''<br /> <pre><br /> SetKeyDelay 25<br /> return::<br /> Send k<br /> return<br /> up::<br /> Send w<br /> return<br /> left::<br /> Send a<br /> return<br /> down::<br /> Send s<br /> return<br /> right::<br /> Send d<br /> return<br /> q::<br /> ExitApp<br /> return<br /> shift::<br /> x := 0<br /> y := 1<br /> Loop{<br /> Input, keypress, B, {esc} , w,a,s,d,k,q<br /> if keypress = w<br /> {<br /> y := --y<br /> Send {up}<br /> continue<br /> }else if keypress = s<br /> {<br /> y := ++y<br /> Send {down}<br /> continue<br /> }else if keypress = a<br /> {<br /> x := --x<br /> Send {left}<br /> continue<br /> }else if keypress = d<br /> {<br /> x := ++x<br /> Send {right}<br /> continue<br /> }else if keypress = k <br /> {<br /> break<br /> }else if keypress = q<br /> {<br /> ExitApp<br /> }<br /> }<br /> y := y / 2<br /> z := y<br /> z := Floor(z)<br /> z := y/z<br /> Send d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> If z = 0<br /> { <br /> If x = 0<br /> ExitApp<br /> Else{<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {left}d<br /> }ExitApp<br /> }<br /> }If z <> 1<br /> {<br /> Loop %y%{<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {left}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send {up}d<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {right}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send {up}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Loop %x%{<br /> Send {left}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }<br /> }Else If z = 1<br /> {<br /> y := y + 0.5<br /> Loop %y%{<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {left}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send {up}d<br /> Loop %x%{<br /> Send {right}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send {up}d{NumpadAdd}d<br /> }Send d{NumpadSub}d<br /> }ExitApp<br /> </pre><br /> <br /> ===Rewalling ===<br /> Taken from [[User:Valdemar|Valdemar's user page]].<br /> <br /> This is a macro to aid with rewalling. To use, copy-paste the script into a new .ahk file and run the script with AutoHotkey. Then, in Dwarf Fortress, press b-C-w, move the cursor to where you want to start the wall, and hold Ctrl-Shift-Arrowkey, using the direction you want to rewall in. To build floors, press b-C-f instead, and use Ctrl-Alt-Arrowkey. To stop, just release the keys.<br /> <br /> The script will use the first material in the list.
