I've released version 0.0.2 with support for legends_plus.xml from DFHack:

Import legends_plus.xml from DFHack for DF 0.42.4 (https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/releases)
- load region in legends mode
- type "exportlegends info" in DFHack
- change date of legends_plus.xml to match the other files
support for buildings and world constructions
lots of missing information added

I got some bugs for ya.

The viewer is not registering groups.It shows them as "The Wheels of Gold:unknown unknown"(civs are displayed as human/dwarf/elf/goblin unknown but are divided by race) and it does not divide them by race either.It just makes a long list of all the groups of the world.Which is bad in this particular case because there are far more groups than civs(Thanks,DF).

The War graphic is also very confusing when your world has too many wars.Could you put an option for a simpler kind of graphic rather than the default one?.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The viewer,despite being able to identify which hist. figs. are leaders,cannot say which kind of leader they were.Instead it just says the ID of their profession.The same happens with books and festivals and they all come out in numbers.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Aside from all of that,this is the only viewer so far that has an easy and cool UI to use and I hope this gets more updated.

Thanks for your feedback. Most of the missing information is caused by the incomplete legends export from df (structures, world constructions and everything related to the new professions - books, performances and festivals - is missing). If you are using dfhack you can run "exportlegends info". This will export an additional file with lots of the missing information. The file will also contain the type of groups and civilizations.

The main page will show all groups it can identify as civilization (groups that own sites and have no parent group). These groups are also displayed in the war chart. If you don't have the additional data from dfhack a lot of groups can show up here. I will try to extract more details from the basic export to make the main page easier to read in the next version.

PTW
Also saying !!THANK YOU!!, and letting you know that it's going into Macnewbie.

...and I immediately have two feature requests:
1, Support setting a relative path to search for legends in a config file, so the browser doesn't start up (on osx) in ~/, but in ../../../WhateverIWant
2, Support LNP's Legends processor package format. Here's an example output. Basically the processor is just a script to convert images to .png format, sort them, and compress the xml so it takes less space.

edit: Besides the above mentioned missing performances I'm seeing a lot of UNKNOWN HISTORICAL FIGURE linked () to entries in the browser. I used exportlegends all for initial export, then I tried exportlegends info to see if it changes anything, but no. You can check the dwarves in the example posted above for clues.

thanks for putting it in the starter pack

features for the file browser are already on my list and i will have a look at the compressed format.
the plus file needs it name changed to match the date of the other exports for now (dfhack exports one day later) otherwise it wont be recognized

i've also released version 1.0.5 with these new features

Enhanced World Map (opacity control, zoom to fit, new colors, all sites and world constructions)
support for merchant events
support for site tribute events
tooltips on all objects
race colors (also in population overview)
calculate entity type from events (if legends plus not available)
display events in collections in right order
calculate fallen civilizations and ruins
show wars on entity page
tables for entity and site page
calculate attacking beast from more events

Oh, you don't know how long have I been waiting for a Legends app that runs on osx...

Thx, noted, after renaming I'm not seeing the unknown entries any more. Looks like that +1 is not necessary then.

i think its line 88, since days and months are 1-indexed

correct line should be:
local julian_day = math.floor((df.global.cur_year_tick == -1 and 0 or df.global.cur_year_tick) / 1200)
(directly after creating a new world cur_year_tick is still -1)

EDIT: seems to be fixed in this commit
