Using DFHack

-

DFHack basically extends what DF can do with something similar to the drop-down console found in Quake engine games. On Windows, this is a separate command line window. On linux, the terminal used to launch the dfhack script is taken over (so, make sure you start from a terminal). -Basic interaction with dfhack involves entering commands into the console. For some basic instroduction, use the 'help' command. To list all possible commands, use the 'ls' command. -Many commands have their own help or detailed description. You can use 'command help' or 'command ?' to show that.

-

The command line has some nice line editing capabilities, including history that's preserved between different runs of DF (use up/down keys to go through the history).

-

The second way to interact with DFHack is to bind the available commands to in-game hotkeys. The old way to do this is via the hotkey/zoom menu (normally opened with the 'h' key). Binding the commands is done by assigning a command as a hotkey name (with 'n').

-

A new and more flexible way is the keybinding command in the dfhack console. However, bindings created this way are not automatically remembered between runs of the game, so it becomes necessary to use the dfhack.init file to ensure that they are re-created every time it is loaded.

The second way to interact with DFHack is to bind the available commands +to in-game hotkeys. The old way to do this is via the hotkey/zoom menu (normally +opened with the 'h' key). Binding the commands is done by assigning a command as +a hotkey name (with 'n').

+

A new and more flexible way is the keybinding command in the dfhack console. +However, bindings created this way are not automatically remembered between runs +of the game, so it becomes necessary to use the dfhack.init file to ensure that +they are re-created every time it is loaded.

Interactive commands like 'liquids' cannot be used as hotkeys.

Most of the commands come from plugins. Those reside in 'hack/plugins/'.

Usage with single units

+

One convenient way to use the zone tool is to bind the command 'zone assign' to +a hotkey, maybe also the command 'zone set'. Place the in-game cursor over +a pen/pasture or pit, use 'zone set' to mark it. Then you can select units +on the map (in 'v' or 'k' mode), in the unit list or from inside cages +and use 'zone assign' to assign them to their new home. Allows pitting your +own dwarves, by the way.

+
+
+

Usage with filters

+

All filters can be used together with the 'assign' command.

+

Restrictions: It's not possible to assign units who are inside built cages +or chained because in most cases that won't be desirable anyways. +It's not possible to cage owned pets because in that case the owner +uncages them after a while which results in infinite hauling back and forth.

+

Usually you should always use the filter 'own' (which implies tame) unless you +want to use the zone tool for pitting hostiles. 'own' ignores own dwarves unless +you specify 'race DWARF' (so it's safe to use 'assign all own' to one big +pasture if you want to have all your animals at the same place). 'egglayer' and +'milkable' should be used together with 'female' unless you have a mod with +egg-laying male elves who give milk or whatever. Merchants and their animals are +ignored unless you specify 'merchant' (pitting them should be no problem, +but stealing and pasturing their animals is not a good idea since currently they +are not properly added to your own stocks; slaughtering them should work).

+

Most filters can be negated (e.g. 'not grazer' -> race is not a grazer).

+
+
+

Mass-renaming

+

Using the 'nick' command you can set the same nickname for multiple units. +If used without 'assign', 'all' or 'count' it will rename all units in the +current default target zone. Combined with 'assign', 'all' or 'count' (and +further optional filters) it will rename units matching the filter conditions.

+
+
+

Cage zones

+

Using the 'tocages' command you can assign units to a set of cages, for example +a room next to your butcher shop(s). They will be spread evenly among available +cages to optimize hauling to and butchering from them. For this to work you need +to build cages and then place one pen/pasture activity zone above them, covering +all cages you want to use. Then use 'zone set' (like with 'assign') and use +'zone tocages filter1 filter2 ...'. 'tocages' overwrites 'assign' because it +would make no sense, but can be used together with 'nick' or 'remnick' and all +the usual filters.

+
+
+

Examples

+
+
zone assign all own ALPACA minage 3 maxage 10
+
Assign all own alpacas who are between 3 and 10 years old to the selected +pasture.
+
zone assign all own caged grazer nick ineedgrass
+
Assign all own grazers who are sitting in cages on stockpiles (e.g. after +buying them from merchants) to the selected pasture and give them +the nickname 'ineedgrass'.
+
zone assign all own not grazer not race CAT
+
Assign all own animals who are not grazers, excluding cats.
+
zone assign count 5 own female milkable
+
Assign up to 5 own female milkable creatures to the selected pasture.
+
zone assign all own race DWARF maxage 2
+
Throw all useless kids into a pit :)
+
zone nick donttouchme
+
Nicknames all units in the current default zone or cage to 'donttouchme'. +Mostly intended to be used for special pastures or cages which are not marked +as rooms you want to protect from autobutcher.
+
zone tocages count 50 own tame male not grazer
+
Stuff up to 50 owned tame male animals who are not grazers into cages built +on the current default zone.
+
+
+
+
+

autonestbox

+

Assigns unpastured female egg-layers to nestbox zones. Requires that you create +pen/pasture zones above nestboxes. If the pen is bigger than 1x1 the nestbox +must be in the top left corner. Only 1 unit will be assigned per pen, regardless +of the size. The age of the units is currently not checked, most birds grow up +quite fast. Egglayers who are also grazers will be ignored, since confining them +to a 1x1 pasture is not a good idea. Only tame and domesticated own units are +processed since pasturing half-trained wild egglayers could destroy your neat +nestbox zones when they revert to wild. When called without options autonestbox +will instantly run once.

+
+

Options:

+ +++ + + + + + + + +
start:Start running every X frames (df simulation ticks). +Default: X=6000, which would be every 60 seconds at 100fps.
stop:Stop running automatically.
sleep:Must be followed by number X. Changes the timer to sleep X +frames between runs.
+
+
+
+

autobutcher

+

Assigns lifestock for slaughter once it reaches a specific count. Requires that +you add the target race(s) to a watch list. Only tame units will be processed.

+

Named units will be completely ignored (to protect specific animals from +autobutcher you can give them nicknames with the tool 'rename unit' for single +units or with 'zone nick' to mass-rename units in pastures and cages).

+

Creatures trained for war or hunting will be ignored as well.

+

Creatures assigned to cages will be ignored if the cage is defined as a room +(to avoid butchering unnamed zoo animals).

+

Once you have too much adults, the oldest will be butchered first. +Once you have too much kids, the youngest will be butchered first. +If you don't set any target count the following default will be used: +1 male kid, 5 female kids, 1 male adult, 5 female adults.

R = 'new': don't touch +current settings on the watchlist, only set the new default +for future entries.
example:Print some usage examples.
+
+
+

Examples:

+

You want to keep max 7 kids (4 female, 3 male) and max 3 adults (2 female, +1 male) of the race alpaca. Once the kids grow up the oldest adults will get +slaughtered. Excess kids will get slaughtered starting with the youngest +to allow that the older ones grow into adults. Any unnamed cats will +be slaughtered as soon as possible.

+
+autobutcher target 4 3 2 1 ALPACA BIRD_TURKEY
+autobutcher target 0 0 0 0 CAT
+autobutcher watch ALPACA BIRD_TURKEY CAT
+autobutcher start
+
+

Automatically put all new races onto the watchlist and mark unnamed tame units +for slaughter as soon as they arrive in your fort. Settings already made +for specific races will be left untouched.

+
+autobutcher target 0 0 0 0 new
+autobutcher autowatch
+autobutcher start
+
+

Stop watching the races alpaca and cat, but remember the target count +settings so that you can use 'unwatch' without the need to enter the +values again. Note: 'autobutcher unwatch all' works, but only makes sense +if you want to keep the plugin running with the 'autowatch' feature or manually +add some new races with 'watch'. If you simply want to stop it completely use +'autobutcher stop' instead.

+
+autobutcher unwatch ALPACA CAT
+
+
+
+

Note:

+

Settings and watchlist are stored in the savegame, so that you can have +different settings for each world. If you want to copy your watchlist to +another savegame you can use the command list_export:

+
+Load savegame where you made the settings.
+Start a CMD shell and navigate to the df directory. Type the following into the shell:
+dfhack-run autobutcher list_export > autobutcher.bat
+Load the savegame where you want to copy the settings to, run the batch file (from the shell):
+autobutcher.bat

+
+
