The great archive is a workshop that allows your dwarves to open Legends-Mode while playing Fortress-Mode. This way you can read up on the world you created, without closing the game and fiddling with your safe files.You will notice a new workshop in your build-menu: "Great Archive". You need 4 golden statues and 1 platinum cabinet for it; it's build by any architect. It has one job: "Read the legends of this world", which opens legends mode; the job requires no skill, is finished instantly and can be done by any dwarf.You drag and drop the hack and raw folder from the download into your DF installation; you need the newest DF, 40.24, and dfhack. Now you have the script and the files; but you still need to teach your civilization to build the workshop and let dfhack know when to ues it.Open your DwarfFortress/raw/objects/entity_default.txt and add these lines to your dwarven civilization:[PERMITTED_BUILDING:GREAT_ARCHIVE][PERMITTED_REACTION:OPEN_LEGENDS]Open your DwarfFortress/raw/onLoad.init and add this line to it:modtools/reaction-trigger -reactionName OPEN_LEGENDS -command [ open-legends ]That's it!Yes, you do.- Mifki: the initial dfhack lines.- Lethosor: the open-legends script.- Meph: Workshop and reaction.PS: Had a tiny strange mood, thought this would be a neat idea after I read the forum post about the script. Hope you enjoy the little bit of immersion that it gives. If the gold/platinum items are too much trouble, you can always open legends mode by simply typing "open-legends" (without "") into the dfhack console.Cheers,Meph
