I am reachable, but I dont have the source code with me. There is the source code for V3 online though, in this thread.

I honestly disagree about the python GUI, simply because it was tried before and fizzles slowly away after 6months of work on it, on and off. I wouldnt say no to a python gui for the MAC/Linux version, that probably helps a great deal of people. :)

But the win version should rather have a executable that doesnt need python installed, and that I personally know how to mod/code. I dont know python. Heck I dont even know VB, but it worked so far :P

I never expected the python gui for windows. I only thought of it because I am sick of always using wine and not being able to start the tools, and I know python ;).

I will think of it. Sadly I also don't know VB, but I will have a look into it and see if I understand what it does with the files ;)

@lethosor: Yes, that was also my guess. I will try to find out what is really replaced where.

The settings just doesn't seem to work on Mac. You can run DF, but not the settings. Mono doesn't install. Or maybe I'm just crap at using Wine; it's pretty opaque. I tried bottling it, it came back with 150 meg app that didn't work...
Did you install Mono? The settings program is in VB, which fails silently if it can't find an interpreter. You need to install the Windows version under wine for it to work (and even then I can't make any guarantees). Sorry about that... :(

No problem, I realise how finicky this stuff is.

Yeah, I tried installing Mono - that didn't seem to work either. It might just be me. Like I said, I have a pretty ragged track record when it come to wine-ing things: sometimes they work, others they just create a large lump of digital rock, so to speak. In this case it was the latter. I might have another go at a later date.

I got an error myself when I tried running it (apparently I'm missing a bunch of files, which I hadn't realized. I guess that means it won't work for anyone else using my package. I should probably fix that :P).

I completely missed that... I'll take a look at it now. :)
I think there are a few ways to bundle python with an executable (such as py2exe), but it might produce much larger files. One of the nice things about Python is that it comes preinstalled on Macs and most Linux systems, which makes it easy to run Python programs on those platforms without much effort. (The standard UI libraries are somewhat lacking, however)
