First I must say this is a lovely utility that is a pleasure to use and very handy.

If I could ask for more it would be to polish the xml interpretation a bit more. The specific problem that I have just noticed is with site ownership conflicts. It seems that when an adventurer takes over a site the 'actually owned by ...' detail is correct, but it isn't reflected in the civilization itself.

It should list something like ...

The Narrow Group founded Flankedmasters 1 taken over 52 by The Early Thorns of The Obeisant Orange
but instead the taken over event is not shown.  In the site detail itself the last part is ...

In 52, midsummer, (Malachite, 14) UNKNOWN HISTORICAL FIGURE linked to Tellwealthy.

In 52, midsummer, (Malachite, 14) UNKNOWN HISTORICAL FIGURE linked to Tellwealthy.

I think that's where the actual taking over happened.

That data isn't in the exported XML. Mason11987 created a script to pull all that missing data via DFHack. I was part way working through getting LegendsViewer to import that data, but kinda got sidetracked and didn't come back to finish it up. I'll see if I can find some time to create the functionality to import the rest of it.

This is truly a fine piece of art and engineering, and my love for Legends Mode has been refurbished through this since the 0.34 days.

I wanted to ask, does the current version reflect all the changes and stuff that operate at 40.19?

I haven't loaded up some of the newest versions to check if anything else was added to the exported files. The output log usually says if some sort of new data isn't recognized though.

Hmm, do you think that counts as a Dwarf Fortress bug to be corrected or a suggestion? I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try a bug report if I can find a good, unmodded, save that shows it well.

It's a bug. I logged a bug report years ago with all the various missing data, assuming it is in the bug tracker still.

Yeah, I think I have about 20 valid open bug reports I submitted waiting for their turn. I love most of the new features, but every time a new release comes out I hope for more bug fixes.

I tried to use LV to find a vampire to drink blood from, but the Historical Figures list is empty when I mark the "Vampire" condition. A bug? Or something wrong with my world?

Thanks for this awesome tool!

Looks like a bug with Legends Viewer. If you can navigate my crappy advanced search you, select Historical Figures, with a search criteria of Active Interactions > Value > Contains > Vampire, and that will bring them up.

[Leatra]

Wow, also got some nice options to fine tune the search better. Thanks!

So, Im experimenting with documenting a world and I stumbled across a curious bit that legends view doesn't do well.

In the year 100, scant 2 months after the worldgen proper ends, the necromancer tower of Poisonbee was attacked by goblins.  They took the place for themselves, after facing resistance from a seemingly unrelated criminal.  The whole of the necromancers were slaughtered by one character, who herself died to  zombie after.  None of the entities or figures involved in the incident load in legendsviewer, giving me a prompt to quit the process every time.

I dont know if its reported or not, but here.

Do you have the exported files that I could take a look at?

[pisskop]

Aye.  Here's the 40.19 exports before and after I checked the tower out.  It loads fine in the game.
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=10264
The Evil of Tongs is the goblin civ.
Posionbee is the tower
All individuals related to the incident are now dead, except the zombie human.

I have the saves, before and after too . . .

[Parker147]

Think I got it fixed, give the new version a shot.

[pisskop]

Awesome, Thanks!  This looks great!
