I would like to provide feedback on the "conflicting gear" option in DFHack. It worked for normal military gear, such as mail shirts and gauntlets, where dwarves chose pieces belonging to other soldiers. Sadly, the same happened with waterskins, quivers, and backpacks, and the problem remains, resulting in dwarves not equipping them at all. Is there a way to add these items to the problem-fixing function? Dogma did not open an issue on GitHub. Experimentation showed that the report is correct.
This change minimizes the number of inventory items which need to be dropped in order to pick up and wear uniform items. Per the Wiki and experimentation, only item types which can have the `LAYER_SIZE` token can block uniform items. Only the five clothing types can have the `LAYER_SIZE` token. Quivers and backpacks can be blocked, but cannot block. Weapons, shields, and flasks cannot block or be blocked. And most importantly, jewelry items cannot not block uniform items (experimentally verified) so do not need to be dropped.
When removing an item from a uniform, the item id should also be removed from the `uniform.assigned_items` vector. This avoids a redundant report of "an improperly assigned item".
Verified to give identical output.
In certain cases involving the --free command-line parameter, items are moved to the ground even if they are already on the ground, in a container, or in a building. An item only needs to be moved to the ground if it is held by a unit which does not have it assigned to that units uniform after the --free processing completes.
… into uniform-unstick-fix
When the --all and --drop command-line parameters are used together, each unit's report should be separated by a blank line. Due to the print-code refactor in DFHack#1490, this separator line was moved between each unit's basic report and the unit's list of dropped items.
