Oh hell yes.  This is what I initially wanted to do with dfhack.  If you haven't submitted the code for this to the dfhack repo, you definitely should.

As soon as peter gets online in IRC i'll shoot him the pastebin for inclusion.

Is there any tutorial on how to use the dfhack.dll?? what can you do with it? the readme just have a collection of tools and a brief description of them, how are you suposed to make the calls?


If I want to get a list of all the creatures in the game and check their attributes/preferences, etc... what should I use??

You should write a tool for that. There is a similar tool in the playground that you can modify. The dll contains the code for the DFHack library that the tools use.

What does Therapist/Runesmith use to get their data??

Runesmith uses DFHack. Therapist does it itself.

I saw a thread about "Therapist dfhack" are they porting it to use the library??

Well, there /was/ one before, but it died because of people not being nice enough to each other... Is this new?

I hope not, it would make Chmod spin if someone converted Dwarf Therapist to a cheat tool...

It is not in his vision statement and while I can see why people would want him or Dwarfengineer to merge it because their GUI is the best, for me, I would be saddened to see their vision perverted into something else.   

They wanted to make a management tool not a cheat tool.    I hope they keep it that way.

Using DFHack wouldn't by itself make DT any more of a cheat program.

It would just replace the current code for managing the memory editing with DFHack's. As it is, both need to find the new offsets separately on updates (although manual conversion is possible). It'd be nice to just have one memory.XML file though.

Of course the point is pretty much purely academic if there's not someone to do it.

What are you asking for help with?? If you need a reference for functions / structures, read the header files?? Or read the example code??

Or build with doxygen installed and enabled in cmake. You'll get the docs from that.

ive got a problem where the only working command is the spawn magma command. it doesnt even accept '?' or 'help'
any ideas whats wrong?

[Rumrusher]

Have you tried typing "w"
Do you have experience with previous versions of DFhack?

[flieroflight]

no first timer with it trying to solve an error that means missing out the walls on one area of my magma stack is spewing magma into the outside world

[flieroflight]

nope, still nothing with it, trying both "w"as you suggested and 'w'

[Quietust]

You don't actually type the quotation marks...

[flieroflight]

/facepalm

Code: [Select]

Example

You are in fort game mode (0 game mode), managing your fortress (0 control mode) and go into the Esc menu(in Dwarf fortress it's the place where you save the game), You switch to the Adventure game mode (1 game mode in DFmode) and switch to the managing(which is 0), then save the game. You just left a fortress to play as an adventurer. Leaving the site will count the site as abandon and kill off all pets and tamed. If you want to choose who you want to play as then pick up Dfusion and use either the Adv_tools Adventurer changer or the Tools version. Tools version saves you the hassle of stacked creatures which the pointer won't work on very well. While adventurer tools ?Change?  save you hassle for searching for a certain creature that you can plainly see.

Oh you can also return to the fort(the imput to do this is 0,0 or 0,1) if:
 Your adventurer is on the site,
The adventurer/fort members has the is resident flag off.
the adventurer could have the same civ, though this is only vital for making adventurers work at the fort.
 The adventurer on a previously active fort, other forts will work for a few in game days then DF boots you out of fort mode with a  the force abandon.

I take no responsibility of anything that happens as a result of using this tool :P
here my take on the DFmode example, langdon's retire fort trick would be a nice add on to the readme as well.

Anyone have a guess to why the latest version of DF Hack is not opening. Downloaded, unzipped fine. When I double click on one the the tools, a small screen flickers into existence for a short time, then nothing. Am using Vista
