Updated to DFPlex v0.2.1I've been working on a small script to automate white-rabbit's awesome plugin to allow multiplayer DF, and though I posted a link to my script in the comments I've been advised to consolidate the info for it.
Here's white-rabbit's post
And
here is the download for my script (for windows 10, x64 bit)
To use it just drop it into the place where you want it to download df and run it, but make sure not to have
- df_47_04_win.zip
- dfhack-0.47.04-r1-Windows-64.zip
- dfplex-v0.2-Windows64.zip
- df\
- dfplex-v0.2-Windows64\
in the same directory. (you also shouldn't have spaces in the names of the parent directories)
Run the script, and when it asks for your graphics and color choice just type in the name of the graphics/color you want.
Then you should be good to go!
- If the directory the script is in has a space in the name it throws an error
- As mentioned above, try and make sure that there are no folders with the names above because it might freak out about overwriting things
- On older versions of windows the script will sometimes fail to delete old folders and .zip files that it used to install things; they can be safely ignored or deleted
- DF will often crash, just keep running it and it'll eventually work (I'm not sure why this is, or if it's my fault)
- If the browser sits there for a long time saying it's loading, you may have misspelled either the graphic or color set, so check in df/hack/www/config.js
- On my machine it throws a `Connection error`, let me know if that's a general problem
- If you find anything else let me know!
The code is (lightly) commented, so if something's odd don't be afraid to take a peak.
Finally, I will of course be here to help out if anyone has problems!
