dfcaverns VS scripts

So when I updated DFCaverns, the first thing I did was point all of those references to a single "df_dependencies" mod. Then that mod did all the heavy lifting of figuring out which game it was being run with and supplying the version of the asset that belonged to that game.

Because the magical jackhammer sounded fun, I just finished implementing it in the mineclone compatibility branch I've been working in. It's basically a point-and-click explosion maker. Results in a bit of a ragged corridor when used to dig through Slade, but given that previously you had to bludgeon your way through with much less precise TNT blasts it's still an improvement. I'll play around with it some more. One drops when a slade breacher is finished its job and self-destructs. Note that you'll need the latest versions of subterrane and mapgen_helper if you want to sync from that repository, the default method of synching git doesn't get those so you may have to do get them separately.

I kind of retired from modding for a while (just because other interests came to the fore and I was busy) but the past month or so I've renewed my interest largely because the issues list for DFCaverns got long enough to guilt me into coming back. But as I'm fixing bugs I'm finding yet more new details and features to add along the way, so the fun's come back. So strange as it may be, if you enjoy DFCaverns then by all means complain about it and tell me what it's missing. :) I could particularly use insight into its "balance", since as mentioned I don't actually play it.

It's in progress at https://github.com/DFHack/scripts/pull/638 -- if you have suggestions on the tool, you could comment there

It's a long list. You can see exactly what is exported, though, if you look here: https://github.com/DFHack/scripts/blob/master/exportlegends.lua

Glad you got it figured out! There's a fix script in progress (https://github.com/DFHack/scripts/pull/635) that essentially does exactly what you did, just automatically. Hopefully we'll be able to get it into a future version of DFHack so this issue doesn't affect other players too!

This feature is in progress here: https://github.com/DFHack/scripts/pull/594

If that's related to the equipment corruption bugs, then DFhack's fix/corrupt-equipment might help.

The DFHack script does allows you to set the starting site and go anywhere in the world, but it doesn't enable you to change the destination using the map.
