Should this work on Windows 7 with 64bit Java?

It does not. You can however install 32bit java along side 64bit java on a 64bit system without issues.

It refuses to go down Z-levels, did I break it? :(

Fixed, it was a problem on windows with querty keyboards, so if that is you, you should re-download.

This probably explains why people couldn't figure out the multi z-level thing.

I'm having a problem with this program and that is that it keeps being a real pain in the nuts to get it to start in the right place. My blueprint is correct (because it works just fine 1 out of 4 times), but it seems to insist on relocating the entire blueprint 3-6 rows down. So for instance, it'll offset my furniture by say 6 squares down.

It keeps doing this several times, and I have to stop it with "Pause" and try again. I will move my cursor a bit, then go back to the center, run the "macro" again and poof, now it works. Any reason as to why it does this? It's one reason I'm starting to glance back at QuickFort instead of this.

Well, the problem is probably that a few keystrokes are lost because they arrive too quickly, a solution is increasing the delay between keystrokes a little. Open settings.ini and increase the delay values, it will go a little slower but will be a little more reliable.

The green pixel directly corresponds to the place where your cursor is in DF. So if your blueprint has that green pixel right in the middle, then the program will designate the blueprint around your cursor in DF. If you add no green cursor, the program assumes there is one in the upper left corner.

Take the fractal blueprint for example, it would be annoying to have to find the upper left position to start in such a way that the middle directly corresponds to your staircase, it is much more natural to pick the spot where the middle should be and build the blueprint around that.

Also when you use some multilevel blueprints, the green dots will be aligned across multiple levels.

the only thing is, it appears not to lik quickfort .csv files.
Gives this every time:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
works perfectly with bmp images, though i admit i haven't tried anything more complex than a 100 level staircase.

Well I said some support for csv files, I must say I didn't went all out.

Looking at the error, you have "d" in your csv files instead of plain d. I'll fix it in a future version. If I get some more bugs/feature requests, I'll actually make one.

I got a chance to test it on mac, the newly uploaded version should now work. Mac didn't want to recognize my pause key, so I bound the F10 key in addition to pause key to interrupt the process.

The only thing I can still think of is trying to spell out all jar files explicitly. In start.sh, try changing

java -XstartOnFirstThread -d32 -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties -cp .:./jars/* cz.zweistein.df.designator.GUI.RunGUI

to

java -XstartOnFirstThread -d32 -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties -cp .:jars/cloning-1.7.4.jar:jars/qtjambi-macosx-gcc-4.6.3.jar:jars/gui.jar:jars/objenesis-1.2.jar:jars/qtjambi-util-4.6.3.jar:jars/jkeymaster-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:jars/qtjambi-4.6.3.jar:jars/lib/jna-3.2.7.jar cz.zweistein.df.designator.GUI.RunGUI

Can you try chaninging the line

java -XstartOnFirstThread -d32 -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties -cp gui.jar:.:./jars/* cz.zweistein.df.designator.GUI.RunGUI

int start.sh into

java -XstartOnFirstThread -d32 -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties -cp .:./jars/* cz.zweistein.df.designator.GUI.RunGUI

Technically gui.jar isn't there in the root any more, linux's java version doesn't make a fuss but perhaps the OSX version does.

Otherwise Any suggestions ? That class is in the file jars/gui.jar, it should find it. I have no mac to test it on.

After using it a little myself, I noticed some weaknesses/bugs.

Some tweaks:
    - Now remembers the last directory you accessed something.
    - Now remembers the current session.
    - Pressing PAUSE (to interrupt current designation) is no longer likely to crash the application.
    - Spaces in filenames when saving your current collection of blueprints are now supported (did break the file format).
    - Proper support for keyboard modifiers in shortcuts alt/ctrl/meta/shift or any combination thereof.

Can you try

java -d32 -cp gui.jar:./jars/* cz.zweistein.df.designator.GUI.RunGUI

or

java -XstartOnFirstThread -d32 -cp gui.jar:./jars/* cz.zweistein.df.designator.GUI.RunGUI

Thank you for playing guinea pig NO_THOUGHT.

Seems like a problem in loading the Qt jambi library, not immidiately something I can fix.

I've tried increasing the jambi version to 4.7.0-beta1, this version seems to work with the linux version, perhaps they fixed this issue with the mac version.

Can you redownload the mac version and give it a spin ?

NO_THOUGHT, did you use the gui.sh script to start it ?

if you want to start it without, you have to give the command:

java -cp gui.jar:./jars/* cz.zweistein.df.designator.GUI.RunGUI

DF Designator is a tool to create a fortresses from "blueprint" image files and some support for Quickfort csv files. It supports many of the actions required during DF construction.

It has an advanced gui to manages the different blueprints, create plans that span multiple z-levels and assign hotkeys for easy access.

Download it and open one of the examples to give it a try.

    http://wina2.ugent.be/~karel/DF Designator (source all platforms).zip

You need java to run DF designator. If it complains java is missing. download it at http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp.

DF Designator is developed in java and is platform independent. To create the gui however, I've used QT jambi which is not. I could include the libraries for all platform and for the all platform sources I've just done that, but they are rather large.

FEATURES
    Easy gui
    Multi-Z-level designs
    Some support for Quickfort csv file
    Multi platform (window/linux/mac os X)
    Open source

THANKS
    zwei for the initial codebase
    Tiny_Puppy_Smasher for some of ideas of DF Architect
    joelpt Some of the concepts are shamelessly stolen from Quickfort
    DF team



Comments, bug reports, feature requests, patches, blueprints and other are welcome.

Ontrew posted a video tutorial here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFUWBXn9n8I if you want to see it in action.

I would have coded it differently as well, I just hacked it together and DesignationRobot is quite the mess now. I would love someone to modify/improve it as you so excellently put it.
