This plugins embeds a ruby interpreter inside DFHack (ie inside Dwarf Fortress).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The plugin maps all the structures available in library/xml/ to ruby objects.
|
|
|
|
|
2012-06-24 09:30:26 -06:00
|
|
|
These objects are described in ruby-autogen.rb, they are all in the DFHack
|
2012-05-29 09:28:51 -06:00
|
|
|
module. The toplevel 'df' method is a shortcut to the DFHack module.
|
2012-04-24 17:20:35 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The plugin does *not* map most of dfhack methods (MapCache, ...) ; only direct
|
|
|
|
access to the raw DF data structures in memory is provided.
|
|
|
|
|
2012-06-24 09:30:26 -06:00
|
|
|
Some library methods are stored in the various .rb file, e.g. shortcuts to read
|
|
|
|
a map block, find an unit or an item, etc.
|
2012-04-24 17:20:35 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2012-06-24 09:30:26 -06:00
|
|
|
Global dfhack objects are accessible through the 'df' accessor (eg 'df.world').
|
2012-04-24 17:20:35 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2012-06-24 13:41:43 -06:00
|
|
|
DFHack structures are renamed in CamelCase in the ruby namespace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For a list of the structures and their methods, grep the ruby-autogen.rb file.
|
|
|
|
|
2012-06-25 09:06:37 -06:00
|
|
|
All ruby code runs while the main DF process and other plugins are suspended.

DFHack console
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ruby plugin defines 1 dfhack console command:
|
|
|
|
rb_eval <ruby expression> ; evaluate a ruby expression and show the result in
|
|
|
|
the console. Ex: rb_eval df.unit_find().name.first_name
|
2012-04-24 17:20:35 -06:00
|
|
|
You can use single-quotes for strings ; avoid double-quotes that are parsed
|
2012-06-24 09:30:26 -06:00
|
|
|
and removed by the dfhack console code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Text output from ruby code, through the standard 'puts', 'p' or 'raise' are
|
|
|
|
redirected to the dfhack console window.
|
2012-04-24 17:20:35 -06:00
|
|
|
|
2012-06-12 10:51:33 -06:00
|
|
|
If dfhack reports 'rb_eval is not a recognized command', check stderr.log. You
|
|
|
|
need a valid 32-bit ruby library to work, and ruby1.8 is prefered (ruby1.9 may
|
|
|
|
crash DF on startup for now). Install the library in the df root folder (or
|
2012-06-24 09:30:26 -06:00
|
|
|
df/hack/ on linux), the library should be named 'libruby.dll' (.so on linux).
|

|
|
|
Ruby scripts
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ruby plugin allows the creation of '.rb' scripts in df/hack/scripts/.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you create such a script, e.g. 'test.rb', that will add a new dfhack console
|
|
|
|
command 'test'.
|
|
|
|
The script can access the console command arguments through the global variable
|
|
|
|
'$script_args', which is an array of ruby Strings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The help string displayed in dfhack 'ls' command is the first line of the
|
|
|
|
script, if it is a comment (starts with '# ').
|
|

Ruby helper functions
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|

This is an excerpt of the functions defined in dfhack/plugins/ruby/*.rb. Check
|
|
|
|
the files and the comments for a complete list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
df.same_pos?(obj1, obj2)
|
|
|
|
Returns true if both objects are at the same game coordinates.
|
|
|
|
obj1 and 2 should respond to #pos and #x #y #z.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
df.map_block_at(pos) / map_block_at(x, y, z)
|
|
|
|
Returns the MapBlock for the coordinates or nil.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
df.each_map_block { |b| }
|
|
|
|
df.each_map_block_z(zlevel) { |b| }
|
|
|
|
Iterates over every map block (opt. on a single z-level).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
df.center_viewscreen(coords)
|
|
|
|
Centers the DF view on the given coordinates. Accepts x/y/z arguments, or a
|
|
|
|
single argument responding to pos/x/y/z, eg an Unit, Item, ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
df.unit_find(arg)
|
|
|
|
Returns an Unit.
|
|
|
|
With no arg, returns the currently selected unit (through the (v) or (k) menus)
|
|
|
|
With a number, returns the unit with this ID
|
|
|
|
With something else, returns the first unit at the same game coordinates
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
df.unit_workers
|
|
|
|
Returns a list of worker citizen: units of your race & civilization, adults,
|
|
|
|
not dead, crazy, ghosts or nobles exempted of work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
df.unit_entitypositions(unit)
|
|
|

|
df.match_rawname(name, list)
|
|
|
|
String fuzzy matching. Returns the list entry most similar to 'name'.

|
|
|
|
finally for a case-insensitive substring.
|
|
|
|
Returns the element from list if there is only one match, or nil.
|
|
|
|
Most useful to allow the user to specify a raw-defined name,
|
|
|
|
eg 'gob' for 'GOBLIN' or 'coal' for 'COAL_BITUMINOUS', hence the name.
|
|
|
|

df.building_construct(bld, item_list)
|
|
|
|
Allocates a new building in DF memory, define its position / dimensions, and
|
|
|
|
create a dwarf job to construct it from the given list of items.

|
|
|
|
|
df.decode_mat(obj)
|
|
|
|
Returns a MaterialInfo definition for the given object, using its mat_type
|
|
|
|
and mat_index fields. Also works with a token string argument ('STONE:DOLOMITE')

DFHack callbacks
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The plugin interfaces with dfhack 'onupdate' hook.
|
2012-04-24 17:20:35 -06:00
|
|
|
To register ruby code to be run every graphic frame, use:
|
2012-05-29 09:28:51 -06:00
|
|
|
handle = df.onupdate_register { puts 'i love flooding the console' }
|
2012-04-24 17:20:35 -06:00
|
|
|
To stop being called, use:
|
|
|
|
df.onupdate_unregister handle
|
|
|
|
|
2012-06-25 11:16:35 -06:00
|
|
|
The same mechanism is available for 'onstatechange', but the
|
|
|
|
SC_BEGIN_UNLOAD event is not propagated to the ruby handler.
|

|
C++ object manipulation
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ruby classes defined in ruby-autogen.rb are accessors to the underlying
|
|
|
|
df C++ objects in-memory. To allocate a new C++ object for use in DF, use the
|
|
|
|
RubyClass.cpp_new method (see buildings.rb for exemples), works for Compounds
|
|
|
|
only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deallocation is not supported. You may manually call df.free if you know
|
|
|
|
what you are doing (maps directly to the native malloc/free)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
C++ std::string fields may be directly re-allocated using standard ruby strings,
|
|
|
|
e.g. some_unit.name.nickname = 'moo'
|
|
|
|
More subtle string manipulation, e.g. changing a single character, are not
|
|
|
|
supported. Read the whole string, manipulate it in ruby, and re-assign it
|
|
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
C++ std::vector<> can be iterated as standard ruby Enumerable objects, using
|
|
|
|
each/map/etc.
|
|
|
|
To append data to a vector, use vector << newelement or vector.push(newelement)
|
|
|
|
To insert at a given pos, vector.insert_at(index, value)
|
|
|
|
To delete an element, vector.delete_at(index)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can binary search an element in a vector for a given numeric field value:
|
|
|
|
df.world.unit.all.binsearch(42, :id)
|
|
|
|
will find the element whose 'id' field is 42 (needs the vector to be initially
|
|
|
|
sorted by this field). The binsearch 2nd argument defaults to :id.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any numeric field defined as being an enum value will be converted to a ruby
|
|
|
|
Symbol. This works for array indexes too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Virtual method calls are supported for C++ objects, with a maximum of 4
|
|
|
|
arguments. Arguments / return value are interpreted as Compound/Enums as
|
|
|
|
specified in the vmethod definition in the xmls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pointer fields are automatically dereferenced ; so a vector of pointer to
|
|
|
|
Units will yield Units directly. NULL pointers yield the 'nil' value.

|
|
|
|
|
2012-05-29 09:28:51 -06:00
|
|
|
Will generate
|
2012-04-24 17:20:35 -06:00
|
|
|
class Unit < MemHack::Compound
|
|
|
|
field(:name, 0) { global :LanguageName }
|
|
|
|
field(:custom_profession, 60) { stl_string }
|
|
|
|
field(:profession, 64) { number 16, true }
|
|
|
|
|
2012-06-24 09:30:26 -06:00
|
|
|
The syntax for the 'field' method in ruby-autogen.rb is:
|
2012-05-29 09:28:51 -06:00
|
|
|
1st argument = name of the method
|
2012-06-24 09:30:26 -06:00
|
|
|
2nd argument = offset of this field from the beginning of the current struct.
|
2012-05-29 09:28:51 -06:00
|
|
|
The block argument describes the type of the field: uint32, ptr to global...
|
|
|
|
|
2012-06-24 09:30:26 -06:00
|
|
|
Primitive type access is done through native methods from ruby.cpp (vector length,
|
2012-04-24 17:20:35 -06:00
|
|
|
raw memory access, etc)
|
