Open office is free, and technically you only need notepad to make a csv :p

[sizeak]

What he said, but I suggested excel so that when you load the exported files with excel/open office they look nice, which is hard to do manually.

[sizeak]

Just had an idea for some functionality that could be added in a future release that I think is quite inspired. We could give the user the ability to create dwarf "Templates" which could then be applied to every dwarf. I.e. they configure the base skill levels, attributes, labours etc as a template in xml or whatever, then when they start a new fort they tell Runesmith to apply this template to every dwarf. Its like an easy way to do initial configuration on a group of dwarves.

Dude, that would be boss. I'm just waiting for the ability to modify appearance.

I'm sorry to keep disappointing people, but apart from colours it's not in DFHack yet. Maybe I'll look at trying to add it when I get some free time, but I'm not promising anything. In the next release you can expect at least:

• Sorting
• Labour adding
• CSV export (possibly xml if I get time)
• The ability to perform Genocide on a race...
• Raw CivID displayed instead of checkbox

Think that's all for now

[Acanthus117]

Ah, I can wait.

This tool is awesomesauce, nonetheless.

[Rumrusher]

well with the civ ID add-on one wonders if we could make custom towns.

hypothetically speaking if we make 2 forts one for placement and building and the other for implanting.
during the second fort we dump either the mayor or the warlord(warlords seem to be easier for dumping) into the first civ which should revive that civ with non playable characters.
then one can safely try to dump every character into that civ and lead to a crumbled 2nd fort.

though the chances that the boundary of the for may be off but at least all those dwarfs aren't wandering the wilds.

Does anyone have any opinions on whether to flags in the exported files or not? I'm torn about including it, I don't really see the point tbh, and representing them in a nice way will be a pain. Without flags, I just exported 200+ Dwarves to an XML file and it was nearly 16k lines long XD

[Blade_Train3r]

Don't really think they need to be included.

[sizeak]

Here is a sample http://si.lorcode.com/downloads/Dwarves.xml

I'm considering moving the raw happiness values from inside the element to an attribute, i.e:

<Happiness rawVal=60>Content</Happiness>

Edit: Here is the same thing in csv http://si.lorcode.com/downloads/Dwarves.csv

[jetex1911]

The format is either in an unknown format or damaged. WHAT DO I DO?! 

[sizeak]

Which one, and what are you opening it with?

[MaximumZero]

They both work fine for me, boss. Is there any way to make Runesmith read an edited csv? I want to make babies with Runesmith!

Wait. That came out wrong. Maybe.

[sizeak]

No, there isn't any import functionality and even if there were it wouldn't let you edit things that you can't edit anyway. Don't think the pregnancy timer has been sorted out yet so no babies. Though if people keep insisting, I might try and see if it's possible to edit profession, it won't be in this release though. I'm just doing pre-release testing now assuming everyone is ok with the sample export formats.

[MaximumZero]

The csv is really good, although it's hard to read without column headers.
