Hey,
Yesterday evening i wrote a little tool for Designating stuff just form a Picture.
I know there is Quickfort and Chromafort, but Get into quickfort seemed more Complicated to me then just write my own stuff.
And as i tried Chromafort it was not so nice in use and was somehwat buggy to me, maybe because of java problems i have at all.

I would like to have some ppl testing it, maybe i will work more on this Project in future and adding more features.
But for Now this is enough for my Pleasure, since i dont want to have constructions or Furniture have set.

More infos, a little "How to use" and the Download link can be found Here: http://moonforge.net/?s=dfhelper

Please tell me if you Got some Bugs or Problems using this and if so how to Reproduce them.
Note that you should use the "Savemode" mode, since my speed optimizing function is Broken and i was to lazy for now to fix it.
Well if you do use savemode you can get like 10x more speed in some cases but it can produce wrong designations in some cases.

Any screenshots?

or more info on how to use?
"Just form a Picture" is pretty generic, like can I load up a picture of my face and have dwarves did it out and live in it?

Or is it like the arena mode program where you place colored pixels and it gens an arena mode layout for you.

hey hugo, i think this explains alot:

That does explain alot

But now I have a few more.
How do you seet the starting point?

I see a "(click image to set)"
but I don't know if that is where it will branch out.
Or how it determines where in DF to start.

Just want to know all the features before I try and use this

It starts just where do you set the cursor in DF.
And the Startposition you set in DFHelper by clicking the image will then be the same position of your Cursor in DF.

A very nice application.
Yesterday I've experimented using the Greek cross bedroom design with it, and it works like a charm (after changing default settings, but that's due to my old PC).
Are you by any chance planning to expand the interface to include also 'b' menu items (maybe as a secondary choice to default 'd')?

This sounds very cool, i only use QF for my bedrooms but this looks a lot simpler. PTW.
