DF Modding / New to modding, where do I start? (Utility creation, not game changing)
« on: September 21, 2021, 08:32:41 am »
Hello,
I've recently gotten into Dwarf Fortress, but I've found that the required super computer needed to play the game for any meaningful amount of time means that my options for playing while away from home are quite limited.
I figured this could be solved with a server and a plugin for remote play, and while I have the former there dont seem to be any options for it besides a normal remote access program, which often have serious input delay issues. I figured with the ASCII format of the game, it would be more than possible to simply pick what tiles are shown where on the screen and send that to my dinky laptop.
I dont have any experiance with DF modding or utility creation, and some pointers to some documentation would be great!
Thanks!
(Also, I am aware of the DFanywhere utility what was created, but it doesn't seem to work anymore and its horribly outdated)
