Automatic Grandmother (Floor/Granite.exe keys)
« on: June 22, 2007, 07:32:00 pm »
Probably not of interest to many people, but for convenience, I made a little tool in Freebasic that hijacks the F5 and F6 keys to run granite.exe and floor.exe respectively, regardless of which window is open. Thus there is no need to switch to any other window whilst Dwarfing. I called it Automatic Grandmother, for no real reason besides that FloorGranite was uncreative and boring.

Granite and Floor need to be in the directory it runs. It's too simple to have bugs. If anyone wants the source, it's here That is all.   :)

Sounds sweet. Saves a few mouseclickys. What's 'floor' though? I've been using mud and granite to clean up. I haven't tried floor yet.

Nice. I like it. However, "f12 to quit" doesn't appear to work, unless by that you mean to close dwarf fortress. Also, what purpose is the display supposed to serve, exactly?

It shows the output of either tool, as it would had you normally run it. It was that or just leave it blank.

I see that now. I guess I was wrong - it isn't too simple. It should have just ended the loop, but something got mangled while I was cleaning up, I guess. Fixed.

Oh, very good! That could end up saving an insane amount of time, thank you.
