Very glad to hear that you're already working on an update! Thank you for all your hard work--Legends Viewer is a fantastic tool that adds so much to the DF experience for me.

This.

This tool is probably my most relied on piece of supplementary software for the game, even more than dwarf therapist. You do great work and I am glad you are continuing! Thanks for all the effort!

PTW.

I realized as sly_urist said, that I rely on this tool even more than Dwarf Therapist.  I can at least play small forts and under-managed/unoptimized forts without dwarf therapist.  Without Legends Viewer, I find legends mode (almost) completely impenetrable.

I also wanted to chime in and add that if there are any tasks or help you need that is simple to explain and can be done in parallel in small pieces (churning out new world in worldgen and then searching through the xml dumps for examples of a particular string, for example), I can spare some time to help out, and I am sure you could find more volunteers.  Apologies if you've already mentioned such things earlier in the thread, I only read the first page and last two pages.

That is exactly why I work on Legends Viewer, I love the rich history DF creates. I am fascinated by the details, how everything comes together and forms all these great little and big stories!

Without making breakpoints in the code and cross-referencing already partially resolved IDs (to historical figures, entities, sites and so on) and dates with the exact lines in DF legends mode, you wont find the related events there. But thanks for asking! 

Everyone who is interested can track my progress by reading the commit messages in my development branch on github.

Well, it's possible to do at least some of it with DFHack tools, even though the mapping of the structures are still incomplete, and so can cause crashes (and definitely aren't ready for use during play).
- New history event collections: "Persecution" and "Entity Overthrown".
- New poetic form action: "beseech".
- New musical form style: "with feeling".

**Note:**
Use 'exportlegends info' or 'exportlegends all' of [DFHack](https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/releases) to get lots and lots more info and less UNKNOWN data.
The new legends_plus.xml features require [DFHack](https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/releases) which is usually included in Lazy Newb Pack for exporting the additional XML file!

Good stuff!

There's also a new Guildhall structure type, by the way.

[Shonai_Dweller]

Are "Relationships" and "Vague Relationships" the wrong way around?

Under vague relationships you've got definite new relationship types like "War Buddy" and "Childhood friend".
While under "relationships" you've got some pretty obscure stuff like "(Visual) Trust -50".

[hertggf]

Great news!  Each of the legends viewers is better at different things so I end up using all of them when I get deep into an adventure 

[Kromtec]

Of course, the Guildhall is also in, I just missed to put it in the changelog. 

Are "Relationships" and "Vague Relationships" the wrong way around?

Under vague relationships you've got definite new relationship types like "War Buddy" and "Childhood friend".
While under "relationships" you've got some pretty obscure stuff like "(Visual) Trust -50".

The relationships section is based on the older RelationshipProfile properties of HistoricalFigures ("relationship_profile_hf", "relationship_profile_hf_visual" and "relationship_profile_hf_historical").
Vague relationships are called like the new property ("vague_relationship") that came with 0.47.01.
I went with the names Toady gave them in the export, but I am open for suggestions.

Is the lack of Experiment names (Hfexp58691E Hum 1, etc.) something only DFhack can fix?
Also, Night Trolls (and I guess Bogeymen in there somewhere?) are referred to as "night creature" in the historical figures filter list. But experiments are "night creatures" too and they are listed separately (under code names mentioned above). Maybe want to rename this category?

Finally, "hired as a scout" is missing for historical figures (requires DFHack?).

Oh. did I mention, I think I did, that Legends Viewer is my absolute favorite DF util? Just thought I'd better mention that again as I start listing criticisms.

I already filed an issue about that. DFHack definetly makes things with the races clearer, but I hope Toady exports race names (singular and plural) in a separate section of the XML.

Finally, "hired as a scout" is missing for historical figures (requires DFHack?).

I think that comes from the additions to the "battle" event collection. DF Legends Mode has event entries related to battles that are not exported as typical events.
But the information for these entries is in the collection, so I think I will implement some custom events that are not parsed from the XML but created directly from the "battle" event collection.

Oh. did I mention, I think I did, that Legends Viewer is my absolute favorite DF util? Just thought I'd better mention that again as I start listing criticisms.

Thanks! Always glad to hear that!

I believe viewing necromantic civilizations currently pops up an error, completely unable to squat about it.

I'm very excited to see this get up and running once the versions stabilize, and I'm glad you've gotten a 47 version up so fast!

[Kromtec]

If you get an error/crash please upload your exported files as a ZIP to DFFD.

The files that I need to test things are:

Code: [Select]

regionx-xxxxx-xx-xx-legends.xml
regionx-xxxxx-xx-xx-legends_plus.xml (optional, as soon as DFHack is updated)
regionx-xxxxx-xx-xx-world_history.txt
regionx-xxxxx-xx-xx-world_map.bmp
regionx-xxxxx-xx-xx-world_sites_and_pops.txt

Thanks for the update!
