Cool! Either way, this is a fantastic project and I tip my hat to you. I use it constantly.

I just got seasonal sun angle changes working. For the purposes of this, your fort is assumed to be somewhere in central Europe, so winter days will be shorter, with the noon sun lower in the sky, while summer days will be longer, with the sun higher up.

Maybe take the actual forts location with respect to the meridian of the generated world to calculate sun angles? The only assumption required then would be the planetary tilt, which you could just set as ~23 degrees (Earth's tilt) or 0 degrees (No tilt). Of course I'm not sure if this would really change the end product all that much, and may just make things unreasonably complicated.

I can do that, but then it needs a dfhack update to tell Armok Vision whether the world has a pole on the north, on the south, both, or none.
And then winter is on the same time of year no matter which side of the equator you're on.

It's already done.

Code: [Select]

    int flip_latitude = df::global::world->world_data->flip_latitude;

    if      (flip_latitude == -1) // NO POLES
    else if (flip_latitude ==  0) // NORTH POLE ONLY
    else if (flip_latitude ==  1) // SOUTH_POLE ONLY
    else if (flip_latitude ==  2) // BOTH POLES

It's not in remotefortressreader yet, is what I meant.

Also I'm lazy.

[Hylum]

So how long until we get to play DF in 3D? Hypothetically 

Well, we know it will be available before 2050, so within 34 years

LOL! I hope I am still around to experience it! Also great job on the viewer! I love it, you are a great talent and asset.

Version 0.8.0 Released.

Changelog:
 * Fixed units showing up when they're caged or off the map
 * Added creature names above sprites
 * Added option to export the generated map to collada file, using Ctrl+M. Quite crashy.
 * Made clouds and distant terrain optional
 * Trees now show leaves, flowers, and fruits, in their proper times and colors.
 * Backend stuff related to creatures. Not usable yet.
 * Performance improvements by Kazimuth
 * Save various settings to a JSON file that is created on first run.
 * Remodel tree branches
 * Added palm leaves to trees that can use them.
 * Made the sun angle change according to season.

Controls:
W, A, S, D, and middle click drag: Move horizontally.
Q, E: Move up and down.
P: Pause and resume sun movement.
[, ]: Change time of day. This automatically pauses the sun movement.
O: Toggle shadows being casted from hidden Z-levels.
L: Toggle scaling of creatures based on their size.
Ctrl+M: Exports the map as a Collada file.
Mouse wheel zooms in and out.
Right click drag rotates the view.

Installation:
You must already have Dwarf Fortress 0.40.24 with DFHack R5 installed, with RemoteFortressReader-windows-0-40-24-r5.plug.zip extracted into your Dwarf-Fortress/hack/plugins directory.
Then just run Armok Vision from anywhere with any save loaded in Dwarf Fortress.

Yay!  This looks really nice.

Just a few questions and feature requests:

 - How does compatibility with DFHack develop work?  It seems that 0.42.05-r1 isn't compatible with Armok Vision 0.8, which is a real shame.  Will that change for .06?

 - Better handling of old remotefortressreader versions should be a priority (just an error message would be fine), and helpful messages for eg. running when DF is not running, does not have DFHack, no save loaded, etc would also be really helpful.

[Rose]

Oops.

I guess I  forgot to properly test it with older remotefortressreader versions.

What happens with the one packaged with r1?

0.6 should have the latest remotefortressreader anyway, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Red error line in the console about RPC error, and no blocks rendered in Armok Vision - nothing crashed, it's just that nothing happened.

Glad the dev side is up to date

[Rose]

Bah.

Looks like it's hot fix time.

[CaptainMcClellan]

Japa you wonderful madman! I look forward to trying your latest DF extension! Is it Linux-compatible?

[Rose]

It is, but you will have to compile dfhack yourself.

It is, but you will have to compile dfhack yourself.

I've already signed up to do so to help them test. Any specific advice on things I might need to do during compilation?
