Humble Dwarf Fortress Publishing System ♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ related places 1. Changelog 2. Git Repository 3. Rubble forum Download for: Windows Linux OSX, Every Dwarf Fortress supported platform is supported by ♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫, you only need a web browser Online Rubble Documentation: Basics Easy Modding Conventions Base Templates Lua Scripting History and Philosophy Standard Library Templates License Changelog Tutorials: 1. Common standard library templates 2. Rubble as a tileset applier 3. Tileset addons 4. User templates 5. Content Server Mods: First Landing    The Earth Strikes Back!    Under construction, please wait! This is a work in progress and (as may be assumed reasonably enough) may be highly unstable just yet. Roses' Script, System, and Utilities Collection General description, Subsystems Included: Civilization, Classes, Events example.

♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ Index 01.) Updated Catalog of supported Mods       02.) Frequently Asked Questions FAQ       03.) Code of Conduct       04.) Graphs and tutorials about used tools       05.) A vertical fort,plans, levels screen shots, work flow automation...       06.) Rules or conventions to make composable Mods       07.) What is a semantic Delta? How to use Git Extensions with it?       08.) Using a batch file renaming tool to identify the origin of a file       09.) How can you rename IDs in all files of a hierarchy of directories?       10.) Debugging DFHACK lua, actual state? 11.) Rubble based macro system, a short tutorial       12.) The three testbeds Mods of Vanilla Library: Vanilla, Haiku Vanilla and Haiku Extreme    13.) My FPS aware Mods:, mostly Milo´s adapted for easy use with QuickFort Humble and Singularity! 14.) Why Lua?             15.) So what is all this fuss about the semantic Deltas thing? ♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ Contract As a player I have great respect for the time of any other player, that means that I will do all that is at my reach to release Mods or packages that are as bug free as possible, at least from my perceived standpoint, that means that each released mod will pass a semiautomatic process of verification where the different Dwarf Fortress logs will be investigated for problems, the entity checker utility or any similar application will be also used. As a modder I expect that every user of this project, me included, will adapt his behavior in this forum to the code of conduct of our project. ♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ Support For someone that likes to support the development of content for Dwarf Fortress universe, the origine, the Tarn Brothers is maybe the most sensible option. for those that additionally want to support the development of DF content out of ToadyOne limits, time or priorities: 1.) Japa Mala is developing a realtime 3D viewer for DF (Armok Vision). 2.) Meph is leading a collaborative initiative to better integrate mods and mechanisms into a fully coherent system (Masterwork Mod). 3.) PeridexisErrant is maintaining and distributing THE more comprehensive package of DF related tools (DF Starter Pack).

♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ Purpose 01.) Opening  the process of mods maintenance to all those that love this game. 02.) Investigate ways to facilitate the migrations of Mods between DF versions. 03.) Enable a system of dependencies between Mods: Haiku<Vanilla<Modest<Rest. 04.) Decompose Dark Ages mod into its components mods. 05.) Find creative solutions for the problem of collisions in the mix of mods. 06.) Extract the experience of Df from Scratch to build a minimal DF base>Haiku. 07.) Use Git for version control and as online documentation and tutorials server. 08.) Build a community of maintainers that cares of the DF heritage. 09.) As DFHACK maintain their code base, ♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ will do with the raws of Mods. 10.) Apply useful semantic transformations over the declarative DF raws. ♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ Disclaimer All the graphical art in this page is the intellectual property of their original authors. There are two groups in the art used: Haiku and Dwarf Fortress related. Those of DF are related to gruesome events that happens naturally in the simulation. Or the visceral reaction that those events frequently produce in the players. The artist simply use their freedom of speech or creation to reinterpret them. They are there to offer an immersive experience in the DF universe. As each image is randomly linked with a powerful tale in The Hall of Legends If you think that an image should be retired for any reasons, please ask it! The mods being adapted to ♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ are owned by their authors. Any loss of functionality in the conversion process is only my fault not theirs. As they know their works better than me, any insight or help will be appreciated. Once completed, the final conversion, will be offered to the authors or maintainers. If somewhat ♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ eat your dirty laundry as in the Don Henley Lyrics you alone will be the only responsable if you use it.

♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ TODO list 01.) Finish implementation of nested objects 02.) Implement macro generics for all the categories of DF objects  supported in Rubble {COPY_TAGS_FROM:ID}, {APPLY_VARIATION:ID}, {GO_TO_END} {GO_TO_START}, {SELECT;NESTED:ID} 03.) Re-implement as Rubble categories WORLD_GEN and PROFILE, make shared object for them 04.) Make Vanilla Library and the Haikus automatically generated from the ToadyOne Version instead of manually 05.) Correct the generic materials to use a FOREACH to be migration resistants 06.) More artificial hiveable 07.) Make the rest of generic materials, wood, thread ... 08.) Cornucopia of trees 09.) Fork Rubble into Nibble for a more meaningfull and reusable, basic semantic metadata ... nn.) Archived TODO list

♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫ Features:

1.) Is in spirit a publishing system for (DF) Dwarf Fortress related content using DFFD as file server
2.) Does something similar to what Battle of Wesnoth does with his campaigns, offering to the player a catalogue of mods to download, compose and play.
3.) Use a common system for importing parts of composable mods, in a chain of dependencies, like libraries of raws.
4.) Is usable in all Dwarf Fortress supported platforms (Windows, Linux and OSX) as it relies only in Milo´s Rubble that has support for the three, Lua that also do, and the interface is generic HTML5, same support. No one is forgotten out in the cold.
5.) Have auto update capacity of the mods that is attained exploiting the JSON metadata of the DFFD file-server for each download, to know when a update is available and doing the auto update if the mod is defined as having this characteristic.
6.) Some functional approach to the problem of version control of DFraws is used, this helps in how to decide the correct order of application of required change-sets.
7.) To further reduce the complexity of the problem some rules are applied; first of all Vanilla raws are declared immutable, you only can modify them indirectly (in fact you modify a copy or prototype, but the original object is always accessible ) by means of semantic deltas (DIFF) that have some insight of the DF grammar and works in a context of objects and tags instead of file-names and line numbers as normal DIFF do. One short auto example:

-- less fuel required to do a bar of iron
{@CONTEXT;REACTION:PIG_IRON_MAKING}
{@DELTA;REAGENT:A;300:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON}
{@DELTA;PRODUCT:100;2:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:PIG_IRON}
-- A more detailed explanation.

8.) The full Lovechild´s All races playable mod weighs 12.3 kb unpacked in our system and 417.6 kb without. -> less bandwidth needs and easier mod maintenance.
9.) For being able of supporting all that, some support of the DF grammar will be necessary, until now we have support for DF namespaces (called categories in Rubble: creature, material, plants) and DF prototypes (called objects in Rubble: DWARF, IRON, STONE_TEMPLATE, ...) and the generic support for nested objects (castes, noble positions, ...)  is being developed.
Should such a mod publishing system for DF be made sticky in the forum of Mod Releases to give it a good visibility? Please use the top pool to give your opinion. or post any concerns that you could have!

Frequently Asked Questions: (FAQ) 0. I have downloaded HDFPS and extracted the content with 7zip or any other compatible archiver that supports .7z files, how do I open the rubble main menu in my web browser? Please read this post! detailed screenshots with the needed steps. Spoiler: 1. The nanofort\raw\objects directory is empty! Does that mean that I can not play DF? (click to show/hide) No. But first you must go to the Rubble dir inside nanofort and run rubble32.exe, then in your navigator (chrome, firefox or opera) you can open http://127.0.0.1:2120/menu in a new onglet, in this new onglet you have the crossplatform main Rubble menu (html5), when you click over the button "Generate raws" you have access to the list of composable mods and utils, if you select for example Toady_One___Vanilla and Rhenaya___Drow mods and then click over the button "Skip" Spoiler: You will remark that the raw/objects directory is not empty now.

you selectted are there clearly identified by their UPPERCASE namespace. Spoiler: 2. All this thing does not look like a normal DF mod or utility! What are you trying to do, rebuilding Masterwork? (click to show/hide) No, In reality I would like to use DFFD to enable modders push publish their mods and final users automatically receive the updates of their installed mods in a similar way to how the open source game: "Battle for Wesnoth" does with their campaigns and utils. Masterwork mod has some excellent content, but have also, some strong criticism in our community about the accessibility of vanilla raws from masterwork system for the final user. In order to take those opinions into account the HDFPS system offer the unmodified (independently of in which file the objects are) vanilla raws as the 1st mod of available composable mods, enabling to the final user to generate and play unmodified vanilla if he only selects Toady_One___Vanilla. Spoiler: 3. What do you mean when you say that mods are composable? (click to show/hide) That you can select and play many of them combined together when they have this nice characteristic (composable). Not all mods have it and some rules must be respected by the modder in order to enable the pacific cohabitation of any number of composable mods, for the modder it is sadly not automatic, but it is a one time operation, we will develop that later. Spoiler: 4. You said that the vanilla raws have been transformed in a library able of fine grained imports! Are you suffering a macabre mood? (click to show/hide) Sorts of... almost all mods use some parts of vanilla raws objects, that is true even for the total conversion mods that use vanilla materials, tissues and some other parts of vanilla, so a rudimentary mechanism to declare which parts of vanilla a mod want has been developed, This declaration is done in the "Activates" key of the file addon.meta in each addon directory. The file addon.meta contains JSON encoded data that pilots the Rubble behavior. Spoiler: 5. Apart from its use as an import mechanism this VANILLA library can be used for other things? (click to show/hide) Yes, Have you seen in DFFD that some mods have "For DF version: Multiple"?, this is a desirable characteristic of a mod, and basicly means that if your mod depends on VANILLA library if a new version of vanilla appears you only have to substitute the old version of VANILLA lib by the newest. So your mod is never braked in an old version, falling into the oblivion, little by little, only because you do not have actually time to do the required changes, the worst thing that could happen to your mod would be simply, not using some of the new possibilities, but it will always be using the last VANILLA lib version disponible. Spoiler: 6. Ahhh! I see ... you are a megalomaniac that steal the good work of others and taints their hard earned reputation offering half baked rubble conversions of their mods! (click to show/hide) First of all, this is a work in progress where the perceived maturity of each individual Rubble conversion project is indicated by a code of colors! Some Science to explore new ways to make sound ideas in DF more accesible to the final player. It is evident that all the merit of the unique content of a mod belong to the original creator or actual maintainer and the responsibility for any error is only mine. Sorry! I have not the time ni the interest in developing 20 or 30 mods. What I am interested is in which conventions can enable an easier diffusion of ideas. So any feedback of the actual maintainers is welcome to make things better. I like to play Dwarf Fortress more than I like modding it. But as any other DF player I want some personalized changes. The ideas lands where they want and sometimes inter pollinate , nobody receives all the good ideas single handedly. And that is the reason that make me think that it is important to make the content the more accesible possible to the final user, to inspire others to do new things starting with what mods we have now. Spoiler: 7. Who will retain the ownership of the converted mod and the rights to maintain and publish it once it is working and finished? (click to show/hide) The original creator or actual maintainer if he is not clearly against it, or else the completed conversion will be declared orphan and a call for aspirant maintainers will be done. Spoiler: 8. Ok! I can see how some of the described things can be cool, but how that could help the work of a modder?

Code of conduct of HDFPS project: Every member of our community, from top to bottom, is required to follow the following set of rules: Conduct Spoiler: 1. We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all. (click to show/hide) Regardless of level of experience, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, native language or even the level of knowledge of english, as it should be considered only as the support of a communication interaction or other similar characteristic. Spoiler: 2. Please avoid using sexual, sexist, racist, homophobic, or otherwise bigoted words. (click to show/hide) Phrases or nicknames to harass other members or people in general, and do not use a given term if someone expressed distress or concerns about it, whether in public or private means of communication. Spoiler: 3. You are expected to participate constructively in the discussion. (click to show/hide) Please be kind and courteous. There’s no need to be mean or rude. Spoiler: 4. Respect that people have differences of opinion. (click to show/hide) And that every design or implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There is seldom a right answer. Spoiler: 5. Please keep unstructured critique to a minimum. (click to show/hide) If you have solid ideas you want to experiment with, make a fork and see how it works. Spoiler: 6. We will exclude you from interaction if you insult, demean or harass anyone. (click to show/hide) That is not welcome behavior. We interpret the term “harassment” as including the definition in the Citizen Code of Conduct; if you have any lack of clarity about what might be included in that concept, please read their definition. In particular, we do not tolerate behavior that excludes people in socially marginalized groups. If you occasionally insult yourself as a joke to release tension, that could pass, except if you do it so frequently or in such crude terms that you molest or depress the others. Spoiler: 7. Private harassment is also unacceptable. (click to show/hide) No matter who you are, if you feel you have been or are being harassed or made uncomfortable by a community member, please contact one of the channel ops or any of the Redox moderation team immediately. Whether you’re a regular contributor or a newcomer, we care about making this community a safe place for you and we’ve got your back. Spoiler: 8. Likewise any spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting or other attention-stealing behavior is not welcome. (click to show/hide) Spoiler: 9. The moderators reserve the right to remove any content, they want, (click to show/hide) if they find it abusive or otherwise breaking the Code of Conduct. At the same time, moderators ought to interfere as little as possible, while still upholding the Code of Conduct. Spoiler: 10. Moderators are held to a higher standard than other community members. (click to show/hide)  If a moderator creates an inappropriate situation, they should expect less leeway than others. There might be certain edge-cases, where rules might be ambiguous. In those cases, we, as moderators, will try to do our best at judging fairly with basis in this Code of Conduct. Moderation These are the policies for upholding our community’s standards of conduct. If you feel that a thread needs moderation, please use the Report to moderator link in the right botton of the offensive post. In our context Moderators means ToadyOne, ThreeToe, ... Spoiler: 1. Remarks that violate our standards of conduct. (click to show/hide) Including hateful, hurtful, oppressive, or exclusionary remarks, are not allowed. (Cursing is allowed, but never targeting another user, and never in a hateful manner.) Spoiler: 2. Remarks that moderators find inappropriate. (click to show/hide) Whether listed in the code of conduct or not, are also not allowed. Spoiler: 3. Moderators will first respond to such remarks with a warning. (click to show/hide) Spoiler: 4. If the warning is unheeded, the user will be “kicked,” (click to show/hide)  i.e., kicked out of the communication channel to cool off. Spoiler: 5. If the user comes back and continues to make trouble. (click to show/hide) They will be banned, i.e., indefinitely excluded. Spoiler: 6. Moderators may choose at their discretion to un-ban the user. (click to show/hide) If it was a first offense and they offer the offended party a genuine apology. Spoiler: 7. If a moderator bans someone and you think it was unjustified. (click to show/hide) Please take it up with that moderator, or with a different moderator, in private. Complaints about bans in-channel are not allowed. Moderators are held to a higher standard than other community members. If a moderator creates an inappropriate situation, they should expect less leeway than others. Spoiler: 8. In this community we strive to go the extra step to look out for each other. (click to show/hide)  Don’t just aim to be technically unimpeachable, try to be your best self. In particular, avoid flirting with offensive or sensitive issues, particularly if they’re off-topic; this all too often leads to unnecessary fights, hurt feelings, and damaged trust; worse, it can drive people away from the community entirely. Spoiler: 9. And if someone takes issue with something you said or did. (click to show/hide) Resist the urge to be defensive. Just stop doing what it was they complained about and apologize. Even if you feel you were misinterpreted or unfairly accused, chances are good there was something you could’ve communicated better — remember that it’s your responsibility to make your fellow Bay Watchers comfortable. Everyone wants to get along and we are all here first and foremost because we want to talk about cool technology. You will find that people will be eager to assume good intent and forgive as long as you earn their trust. Spoiler: 10. Every one loves a good joke! is not it? (click to show/hide) Sure! but a joke is also a cultural artifact, that only will have your correct meaning, when the others have almost exactly the same values as you.  The problem there is that we are a very multicultural community with divergent sensibilities. That mean that what is considered funny by some, could be offensive for others. And the true question is not, who has more rights, those that want to have fun?  Or those that feel that their values are not being respected? Maybe the respect of the others is the answer, specially when you do not understand their values. The fundamental freedoms (speech, cult, learning, ...) so cherished in our open society, over which the humanity have built its best achievements are all based in the respect. So when in doubt we should be exquisitely prudents when joking. The enforcement policies listed above apply exclusively to all follow ups of this post. However everyone is free to use it in external posts at their own convenience if they feel it is the sensible thing to do. Codes of conduct that have inspired this one 1.) Rust Code of Conduct 2.)

Rules or conventions that a mod must follow in order to be composable with other mods:

DF mods ported to the Rubble system, you can see it in ♫♪♀HDFPS♂♪♫  repo

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

By modder the mods where I am actually involved  are:
Toady -> Vanilla (Complete, I have converted this to a fine grained library able of fine grained imports)
Button -> Modest: Almost complete.
Dirst -> The Earth Strikes back!: no changes.>
GM-X -> Dark AgesII: Complete.
IndigoFenix -> Mostly Mythical Mosters: Complete.
                -> Rise of the mushroom kingdom: Complete.
Lovechild -> All races playable: Complete.
Milo -> First Landing: Beginning to decompose into independents modules.
Putnam -> Fantastic Mini mods:Initiated.
           -> Sparking: Complete.
Wannabehero -> Deep Dwarven Domestication: Complete.
Abadrausar -> MinDF: Complete, This is DF with the minimal number of active objets to have all the basics of a functional vanilla, 6 creatures, less of 15 plants, two civs, 20 inorganics...
                -> Singularity: Only exist at conceptual level now, at release time it will integrate all the other mods.
                -> Humble: FPS aware vanilla collection of minimods.

In order to integrate all of those moods into the rubble system I follow some simple directives:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

a) Rubble need all the files of an addon in the directory of the addon or mod, even if an addon can activate others addons ; when the original modder has used a hierarchy of dirs for different reasons these are preserved in the filenames.
b) If not already done by the mod original autor, one uppercase mod namespace acronym of between 3 and 7 characters is added to each non Vanilla file of the mod. This is done even  for the PNG and BMP files, in consequence the internal references to those files are mass replaced with notepad++ into the graphics txt files
c) The files whose directory destination is not the raw/object are given the double extension that signal that to the rubble system.
d) For each to be integrated mod I look with Gitextensions GUI the vanilla files that have been modified and capture the diffs in one or more rubble files using SHARED_OBJECT_MERGE or one of the following semantic delta operators that use a global cursor to signal the object  receiver of the changes:

Code: [Select]

{!TEMPLATE;@SET_VALUE;token;value;preraws;{@SHARED_OBJECT_REPLACE_TAG;$OBJECT_CURSOR;%{token};[%{token}:%{value}]%{preraws}}}
{!TEMPLATE;@ATTACH_BEFORE_TAG;token;preraws;{@SHARED_OBJECT_REPLACE_TAG;$OBJECT_CURSOR;%{token};%{preraws}[%{token}]}}
{!TEMPLATE;@ATTACH_AFTER_TAG;token;preraws;{@SHARED_OBJECT_REPLACE_TAG;$OBJECT_CURSOR;%{token};[%{token}]%{preraws}}}
{!TEMPLATE;@REPLACE_TAG;token;preraws;{@SHARED_OBJECT_REPLACE_TAG;$OBJECT_CURSOR;%{token};%{preraws}}}Now one comparison of use of those delta operators with SHARED_OBJECT_MERGE applying exactly the same delta:
1) delta operators

Code: [Select]

{@SET;OBJECT_CURSOR;REACTION:PIG_IRON_MAKING}
{@SET_VALUE;REAGENT:A;300:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON}
{@SET_VALUE;PRODUCT:100;2:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:PIG_IRON}
{@SET;OBJECT_CURSOR;REACTION:STEEL_MAKING}
{@SET_VALUE;REAGENT:A;300:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON}
{@SET_VALUE;REAGENT:B;300:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:PIG_IRON}
{@SET_VALUE;PRODUCT:100;4:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:STEEL}2) SHARED_OBJECT_MERGE

Code: [Select]

{SHARED_OBJECT_MERGE;REACTION:PIG_IRON_MAKING;$:$:?(1,-1);
[REAGENT:A:300:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON]
[PRODUCT:100:2:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:PIG_IRON]}
{SHARED_OBJECT_MERGE;REACTION:STEEL_MAKING;$:$:?(1,-1);
[REAGENT:A:300:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON]
[REAGENT:B:300:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:PIG_IRON]
[PRODUCT:100:4:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:STEEL]}

But... What is all this system good for? Lets see some facts about it:
1) The Toady vanilla raws for DF 42.06 weight 1.55 Mb on disk.
2) Each other mod reuses some or all of the vanilla base files, even the total mods, in the next spoiler you can see the concrete parts of vanilla that are reused By the Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom mod:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

{
   "Header": "Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom 0.5.2 for DF42.06+",
   
   "Author": "IndigoFenix, Rubble porting by Abadrausar",
   "Version": "0.5.2",
   "DescFile": "addon.md",

}

3) The addon that enables us to play Toady vanilla version of DF without ANY modif is composed by two files that mather, one dummy.rbl is empty the other addon.meta have the following content:

{   "Header": "Contains Rubblized versions of the Vanilla raw files that are used as an include or import base library able of fine grained imports",

      "Libs/Base/Vanilla/Faction/Savage/Kobolds",
      "Libs/Base/Vanilla/Faction/Slavers/Goblins"
      ]
}

4) So the complete rubble addon directory that enables us to play the original Toady  vanilla DF uses less of 2000 characters.
5) From now on each mod integrated into the rubble system is made compatible with all the others.

ZeroBrane Studio Tutorial about developing and debugging short lua fragments DF related... There are any plans to include support, as a dependency, for Luasocket in DFHACK ? Apparently it is all that is needed to use most of lua debuggers out there! ZeroBrane Studio supports windows, linux and OSX platforms, lua versions from 5.1 up to 5.3 and visual studio. Following this Luasocket presentation in their docs, the total number of lines for the version 2.0 are:1. 4600 C code 2. 2500 Lua code 3. 4700 man code With each new DFHACK version more and more external DF utilities use some kind of remote connection with DF to have access to its internal in real time. The Network support that luasocket brings for the Lua language is object oriented, extensive, standard, documented, tiny (as it does not weigh a lot, as we have seen) and it has interfaces polished over the years. Should we question what would represent more effort in the long term? a) Integrating luaSocket once as a dependency and have access to their bug corrections and evolutions. b) Integrating little by little the regions of functionality that are actually used in DFHACK. My concern is that if we continue to use the path b) we could lose some corrections or have interfaces slightly differing one of the other for one operation of the same kind, depending of the version of luaSocket taken at the moment of their integration into the DFHACK base, this could be potentially tricky and time consuming for the DFHACK developers, the project will have a reduced functionality (substandard), hardships in the maintenance versus really little reductions in the number of lines integrated into DFHACK... And we should not forget that the blobs of lines copy-pasted and adapted in a project are maintained as a whole only by this project, however if a project includes another as a dependency and then adds over some adaptations, their responsibility in the maintenance is limited to their own internal adaptation, if they use the interfaces of the depended upon project. My opinion is that option a) gives more possibilities and requires less developer effort over the long term, but also that it could generate some initial breakage of some utils (specially if some transitory transparent support for the old system is not enabled for a few versions) and worse, it would generate one actual peak of work that maybe no one have the time or interest to do. There are any other opinions about the convenience or not of opening such an issue in DFHACK? <quite good analysis of lua sockets status> Well, resuming the situation! The full support of this desirable characteristic has been staged for years and it do not seems that anyone will step up in the immediate future to finish the unachieved implementation. Meanwhile the person that have done all the effort in this area is understandably sad to have to trash it by himself, even if not really sure how to finish it or continue in a sound way... So if you absolutely want Lua Debugging in DFHACK in any visual IDE as Zerobrane Studio, your best option is to open the issue in DFHACK, integrate and compile Luasockets into DFHACK, and enjoy the result.

Description of Vanilla Library functionality and its testbed mods: 01. Vanilla Library1st playable Vanilla Library testBed: Contains the complete Vanilla raw files that are used by Rubble as an include or import base library able of fine grained imports and also to serve the needs of all other mods, yes you have it, this is like the unique ring... ATTENTION: In the interface this library appears as ToadyOne Vanilla, This is done to indicate that this mod is the only one that people should select if they want to play vanilla as Toady released it. All the vanilla objects are there but reorganized in files differently to satisfy the needs of the vanilla Library. It is me the responsible of any bugs in this reorganization not Toady. Please inform me of any perceived bug. As vanilla as been made composable you can combine it with any other composable mod to have new shiny tilesets, graphics, completely new and innovative lua subsystems like (Roses collection; Putnam Sparking, Fortbent and SCP or Soul Combat of IndigoFenix), Encyclopaedias of DF like Dark Ages of GM-X, Button Modest fight against vanilla bugs, civilizations, mosters, final mods, or any other valid DF content that you could imagine, if Rubble support it and someone implement it even those whose name can not be pronounced, returned recently from a deep void... Spoiler: Vanilla Library Haiku (click to show/hide)       Vanilla Library Imports       Vanilla Library Changelog 02. Haiku Vanilla2nd playable Vanilla Library testBed: Do you know, that you can play Dwarf Fortress with only 65 active objects, between creatures, inorganics and plants, without losing any mechanism of a functional vanilla and without modifying any of those objets? Spoiler: Haiku Vanilla (click to show/hide)       Haiku Vanilla Library Imports       Haiku Vanilla Changelog 03. Haiku Extreme3rd playable Vanilla Library testBed, 41 active vanilla objects to play with only 6 modified from vanilla. This version 1.0 has been independently developed (yes, I have reinvented the wheel one more time, what can I say... I forgot to have a look at DF from Scratch) but the version 1.1 will make use of the 3 years of cumulated experience that the 3 seasons of the project DF from Scratch has in this domain. "Dwarf Fortress from Scratch" were originally launched  by Halfling. Remark that even if Haiku Extreme is really lightweight it has however ALL the vanilla subsystems, that makes it (or Vanilla Haiku to be more conservative) a very good starting point to base other mods upon, Something similar in spirit to what Essential DF by Deon were in Dwarf Fortress 34.11 When you prune a tree correctly in the good season it gives more fruit, when you prune some of the redundant content in Vanilla DF, the DF tree has the force to give you the best fruits of ToadyOne, you can then have more of his random generated objects: Ruins, Tombs, Lairs, Titans, megabeast, semimegabeast, Bogeyman, vampires,mummies, clowns, ghost, zombies and necros, clowns, Mayor Demons, Gods, magic weather, night creatures... Without suffering a sudden FPS Death. About "Haiku Vanilla": have you looked at the starting points used by the various editions of the Dwarf Fortress from Scratch project? It's amazing what you can remove if you want... Thanks for the idea! I am going to integrate cumulated knowledge (SCIENCE!!!) of the 3 successive seasons of Dwarf Fortress from Scratch to make Vanilla Librarys more functional, while I integrate those 3 new mods into HDFPS.

What it does in reality is adapt all the original Milo Rubble addons to make their reactions use only vanilla buildings, and include automatically all of those addons without the hassle of having to select them one by one, they are however individually selectable by modders as libraries or with some more work as DEV tools in the Rubble interface.

Why Lua is the best script language that Dwarf Fortress (DF) can have? 1.) Tiny -> 146 Kb. 2.) It has the same data model of DF raws, key-value tables. 3.) Designed to be an extensible embedded language from the very beginning. -> Very easy C interaction compared to other script languages. 4.) You can have as many performance as you need. (LuaJIT). 5.) Mature ecosystem and libraries, but not so standardized as other languages. 6.) Many programming paradigms are disponibles: imperative, functional (Metalua), prototype, object or class oriented... 7.) Used as primary script in DFHACK but not in DF Structures, a real pity. 8.) Even if Lua has also many quirks, it does so well what it does, that it has less need than other languages of evolution, in order to maintain his quota of utility, as for C this relative stability of the language mean for programmers that learning Lua is a long term investment that they can use for many years. 9.) Easy to learn and read, even when the code is not yours. 10.) Good editors and debuggers like Zerobrane Studio. 11.) It has professional grade database frameworks like Tarantool. 12.) Industry leading Web User Interface as seen in the LuCI MVC-Webframework in the embedded OpenWRT open source router implementation. 13.) Interesting DSLs as Lake, or how to carry around your Build Tool in a pen and use it in any OS platform?
