Dump non-masterwork clothing

[Pseudothrax13]

I would like to be able to automatically dump my worn clothing without driving my crafters insane. The default stuff I've found so far dumps masterworks too, so I've been trying to make something myself through the item command. I came up with this:
item dump --include-owned --max-quality 4 --min-wear 1 -v
but unfortunately it flags non-masterwork clothing made with masterwork cloth for dumping as well.

The problem here is that item is only looking at the base quality and does not look at the improvement quality. This should be easy to fix, I think, with a change to use getOverallQuality method instead.

In the mean time, you can achieve this by making them dump into a stockpile that is set to periodically claim (unforbid) the items. That stockpile then feeds into two separate stockpiles (or minecarts for quantum stockpiling/dumping); one for masterworks and one for non-masterworks (the native interface allows you to filter for both base quality and improvement quality). You can send the non-masterworks into a minecart that dumps into magma/atom-smasher.

The downside is that this is labor intensive compared to just dumping straight into magma/atom-smasher.

If a function is added to the item script in the hack folder in the future will I also be able to access that in-game even though it won't be in the script I made in my config folder if I do it that way? As in, will the game check my config/scripts/item.lua, not see the new function, and then also check hack/scripts/item.lua and successfully perform the new function?

As, ab9rf said, the one in dfhack-config will take precedence; it won't run both scripts. If the script is updated, you'll need to manually delete the custom script from dfhack-config if you want to use the updated one. Or you can copy the new script, make your custom modifications, and put it in dfhack-config to replace the old one.

Also, if you're on Steam and you want to delete or replace the file in dfhack-config, you should do it while the game is running so that Steam will "remember" the change and will not redownload the old custom file from Steam cloud.

Alright, thanks for the info y'all!

I have on the queue an update to the item script that will allow it to use total quality instead of base quality, but this won't go in until after DF's next release as I don't want to push a new feature into a compatibility release without prior testing and there isn't time to do that for this feature. Expect to see it in the release after the upcoming compatibility release.

I'll keep an eye out for the update. I actually made separate functions for base quality and total quality in my script so that I could use both things, but I'd probably rather use what you made anyways if I can. I figure I'm less likely to have bugs in the future that way.
