git clone -b develop git://github.com/DFHack/dfhack.git

Git veteran here, I never knew about the -b switch to clone. You never go to bed without having learned at least one new thing, eh?

Keep in mind that this will create a fresh clone of the repo - it's faster to simply use "git checkout develop" if you've already cloned DFHack.

Since 40.16 isn't here yet, is there a way to use 40.15 df hack with 40.16?

No. It won't recognize DF versions other than 0.40.14 or 0.40.15, and it could crash if you try to update symbols.xml with 0.40.16 symbols. (It's unlikely in this case, since the only changes I can see are naming changes, but it's generally not safe to use DFHack with an unsupported DF version.)

There are a few remaining globals left to be found. Give it a day or two.

We should be able to have an actual release up soon.

Are you using TwbT on one platform?

I haven't had problems with "Alt" on Ubuntu. The majority of modifier handling is done by SDL, not DF, so it's most likely a problem with SDL or your system's keyboard layout.

It's a known bug in the Windows version (and it's not just manipulator). Find the "<symbol-table name='v0.40.15 SDL' os-type='windows'>" line in <DF>/hack/symbols.xml and add this line under it:

Code: [Select]

<global-address name='keydisplay' value='0x181C170'/>


Yes, the files in that folder should work for 0.40.15.

You could copy data/init/interface.txt manually, although that could be dangerous if there were changes in keybindings (as there were in 0.40.14).

You can already specify specify a parameter set in world_gen.txt:

Dwarf Fortress currently offers one command line option, a world generator, suggested by genmac.  You can use it as follows:

FORMAT:   "Dwarf Fortress.exe" -gen <id number> <seed> <world gen param title>
EXAMPLE:   "Dwarf Fortress.exe" -gen 1 3498 "MEDIUM ISLAND"
EXAMPLE:   "Dwarf Fortress.exe" -gen 2 RANDOM CUSTOM6

I agree that specifying a temporary file would be cleaner, though.
