Thank you so much, Japa! It's working great so far, and it has everything I wanted! I am very satisfied. ^.^

I've never compiled anything or anything, but I'd be pretty happy with a DFHack for 43.05 that had that unit labor manager (I love the fact I don't have to use a seperate window like DT, and so very useful!) and a reveal-unreveal so I can build projects without accidentally hitting the caves with the blueprints and having plans ruined. It sounds like those may be done? I'm really not entirely sure I'm understanding what's going on, but I'd be happy with a download if it had those.

I still have been unable to play Pikmin 3, and I'm quite sad about it. Can't afford a console at the moment.

That is already looking SO AWESOME. Jappa, you taking the time to do this is so wonderful, thank you so, so much. If everyone were motivated to do wonderful things all the time, the world would be much more enjoyable.

... I have no idea why that came to mind, nope. <.<

Part of the problem with the shiny stone for me wasn't that it was just shiny, it was actually quite reflective, sometimes about as much as the surface of water, if you go back and look at my screenshot. It made it very difficult to try to look at and distinguish the various walls inside my fort from certain directions. I don't want my fortress to be headache inducing to look at, though I agree that smooth stone should have a certain sheen. Also those are stone blocks, not smoothed walls anyway.


Anyway, just dowloaded and tried out the new version, which is awesome, except now my silver block road looks very black from certain angles. It seems to be reflecting light from certain angles, but when not directly reflecting it just turns completely black. I took a screenshot where it's mostly black, but has some silver to it nearer the camera. It shouldn't look like this, should it?



Edit: I should mention that stone walls are already much less reflective than they were, and are much better in the current version now. What I was unhappy with was in older versions, and anyone getting Armok Vision now won't see that anyway.

This is incredible!


For certain directional items like beds, will there be detection for walls so that it will have a sensible orientation in various corners and nooks and such, or is that going to be too much?

PTF, glad someone's working on a visualizer. Why do those never last more than a couple versions? 

My guess would be because between major versions there's a lot of potential down time for the creators to get distracted or otherwise drift away from the project, and also each version adds more stuff to keep track of and/or breaks stuff and sometimes it feels like too much trouble to get back into the code.
