This release features extensive improvements to the blueprint plugin and related gui/blueprint frontend, along with continued improvements to quickfort and the large-scale full-fort dreamfort blueprint set.

DFHack 0.47.05-r4

Fixes

• blueprint:
  • fixed passing incorrect parameters to gui/blueprint when you run blueprint gui with optional params
  • key sequences for constructed walls and down stairs are now correct
• exportlegends: fix issue where birth year was outputted as birth seconds
• quickfort:
  • produce a useful error message instead of a code error when a bad query blueprint key sequence leaves the game in a mode that does not have an active cursor
  • restore functionality to the --verbose commandline flag
  • don't designate tiles for digging if they are within the bounds of a planned or constructed building
  • allow grates, bars, and hatches to be built on flat floor (like DF itself allows)
  • allow tracks to be built on hard, natural rock ramps
  • allow dig priority to be properly set for track designations
  • fix incorrect directions for tracks that extend south or east from a track segment pair specified with expansion syntax (e.g. T(4x4))
  • fix parsing of multi-part extended zone configs (e.g. when you set custom supply limits for hospital zones AND set custom flags for a pond)
  • fix error when attempting to set a custom limit for plaster powder in a hospital zone
• tailor: fixed some inconsistencies (and possible crashes) when parsing certain subcommands, e.g. tailor help
• tiletypes-here, tiletypes-here-point: fix crash when running from an unsuspended core context

Misc Improvements

• Core: DFHack now prints the name of the init script it is running to the console and stderr
• automaterial: ensure construction tiles are laid down in order when using buildingplan to plan the constructions
• blueprint:
  • all blueprint phases are now written to a single file, using quickfort multi-blueprint file syntax. to get the old behavior of each phase in its own file, pass the --splitby=phase parameter to blueprint
  • you can now specify the position where the cursor should be when the blueprint is played back with quickfort by passing the --playback-start parameter
  • generated blueprints now have labels so quickfort can address them by name
  • all building types are now supported
  • multi-type stockpiles are now supported
  • non-rectangular stockpiles and buildings are now supported
  • blueprints are no longer generated for phases that have nothing to do (unless those phases are explicitly enabled on the commandline or gui)
  • new "track" phase that discovers and records carved tracks
  • new "zone" phase that discovers and records activity zones, including custom configuration for ponds, gathering, and hospitals
• dig-now: no longer leaves behind a designated tile when a tile was designated beneath a tile designated for channeling
• gui/blueprint:
  • support the new --splitby and --format options for blueprint
  • hide help text when the screen is too short to display it
• orders: added list subcommand to show existing exported orders
• quickfort-library-guide: added light aquifer tap and pump stack blueprints (with step-by-step usage guides) to the quickfort blueprint library
• quickfort:
  • Dreamfort blueprint set improvements: added iron and flux stock level indicators on the industry level and a prisoner processing quantum stockpile in the surface barracks. also added help text for how to manage sieges and how to manage prisoners after a siege.
  • add quickfort.apply_blueprint() API function that can be called directly by other scripts
  • by default, don't designate tiles for digging that have masterwork engravings on them. quality level to preserve is configurable with the new --preserve-engravings param
  • implement single-tile track aliases so engraved tracks can be specified tile-by-tile just like constructed tracks
  • allow blueprints to jump up or down multiple z-levels with a single command (e.g. #>5 goes down 5 levels)
  • blueprints can now be repeated up and down a specified number of z-levels via repeat markers in meta blueprints or the --repeat commandline option
  • blueprints can now be rotated, flipped, and shifted via transform and shift markers in meta blueprints or the corresponding commandline options
• quickfort, dfhack-examples-guide: Dreamfort blueprint set improvements based on playtesting and feedback. includes updated profession definitions.

Removed

• digfort: please use quickfort instead
• fortplan: please use quickfort instead

API

• Buildings::findCivzonesAt(): lookups now complete in constant time instead of linearly scanning through all civzones in the game

Lua

• argparse.processArgsGetopt(): you can now have long form parameters that are not an alias for a short form parameter. For example, you can now have a parameter like --longparam without needing to have an equivalent one-letter -l param.
• dwarfmode.enterSidebarMode(): df.ui_sidebar_mode.DesignateMine is now a suported target sidebar mode

Structures

• historical_figure_info.spheres: give spheres vector a usable name
• unit.enemy: fix definition of enemy_status_slot and add combat_side_id
