DF Modding / Reveal.exe Install
« on: October 13, 2011, 08:19:18 am »
So im sick to death of devoting epic amounts of effort into a fortress to find it doesnt have a magma pipe in it (hell, i'd give both my thumbs to find a bloody volcano!) so ive decided to fail-out and get a reveal program.
Naturally google pointed to Reveal(.exe) as something that should atleast help me a little. Unfortunately, the information provided is bloody useless and doesnt tell you how to actually get it working.
As far as i can tell it should work like Dwarf Therapist: Run game, load file and wham bam open it up and it works. But no; its command window just flickers and doesnt do anything. Naturally, as is typical with all well made programs, there is no actual clear information provided that everyone can use that doesnt perhaps assume prior knowledge of getting utilities working with DF.
I had a good look through google for some insight into getting it work, but nothing came up.
I had a good look through these forums for some insight into getting it work, but nothing came up.
Any ideas?
Maybe theres even a better utility than Reveal.exe?
edit: actually the error message is something to do with searching for some map offset rubbish that apparently i COULD change in the .ini, but Thor knows what it actually needs changing. Sigh
edit2: you know a mod isnt being kept up to date when this is the "help" page offered up in the readme........ fail
