Utilities and 3rd Party Applications / Re: SoundSense: a sound engine for dwarf fortress.
« on: August 19, 2012, 10:25:09 am »
Hey, thanks for the great tool! It really adds an extra dimension to the game.
Anyway: I found a way to get it to work flawlessly on snow leopard (10.6.8).
I'm using the '.app bundle' that comes with plaidman's DwarfBuilder (it amounts to a shell script) to launch the latest .jar (r35)
Problem:Needs java 1.7- or else weird glitchyness - sounds don't get cleared from playing list, eventually gumms up)
Solution: openJDK 7u . Pop the jdk in the JavaVirtualMachines directory, then set java preferences to use openJDK first.
Effect: Now SoundSense runs on OSX 10.6.8, properly. Hooray.

Hi, I found out about SS from Plaidman's DwarfBuilder app - it creates a little application bundle to launch the .jar file, store the files, etc. It does 'work' (r35) on mac os 10.6.8 - using java 1.6.0_33. The problem is that it works for a while, then peters out and or crashes.
  • Music is generally pretty consistent, though sometimes it will not get louder again after lots of small sounds - e.g. a battle.
  • The list of concurrent sounds gradually builds up - they are not being cleared
  • Sounds will skip, cut out, or glitchily repeat
  • Eventually, it crashes - possibly tries to send it to a channel that's not there?
I wish that I knew enough java to fix this, but I don't even know how to build SS from the source that's included, so that won't go anywhere fast. It seems strange that this would be fixed by a more recent java version, if it's the applet that is getting overloaded with concurrent sounds - not clearing them out.

If I can help at all, eg crashlogs, etc, PM me :)

DF Modding / Re: Dwarf Therapist (LATEST 0.6.12 2/29/12 see first post)

Hi, I'm testing the latest posted mac version, from this thread. (0.6.12b03). Some observations:

Bug:Labels "Construct ?? Crutch (208)" instead of "Clean Self"
As stated before-has two icons- though every mac version I've seen has this.
As opposed to other versions, does not appear to slow DF for the next unpausing after a write- much quicker.
The interface is not perfectly responsive, though still very usable.
Bug:The grid view editor works well, though the attributes (strength, agility, etc) all appear as unknown (-1).
Bug?: The filter dwarves box doesn't appear to do very much, apart from show a hanging filtered list. Expected behavior would be to highlight the selected dwarf.
EDIT: It only fails to do things if the "Don't show children/babies filter" is applied

It appears very stable, having run continuously for over 8 hours (~220 dwarves) with no loss of function.
I'll continue 'testing' and will report back anything else relevant.

Thanks for making all the effort to support OSX, by the way. This is awesome! :)
I'll second that!

Very impressive, no serious bugs found, a great tool to use!
