im trying to modify the check values for dwarf foreman to work with version 22F, ive managed to bypass the version error and get into the editor but without knowing the addresses it needs to find i cant replace them

the config file takes the format
check= (version check, if its wrong the program finds a new one, pretty easy to fix)
critter_start= (first value of creature array)
dwarfidpos=(first position on dwarf array, dwarves are still included on the creature array)
profession_start=(first slot of the profession array)

i know how to read a hex editor and memory locations i just cant figure out how i can define values that would allow me to find the starting slots of these arrays

ive got cheat engine and HxD editor, searching the dwarfort.exe with HxD in ASCII mode gives me a whole bunch of characters that look like they belong ingame (smiley faces and the like) and i can define nicknames and custom professions and find them, but im still having trouble

help appreciated, just knowing what values i need to find or how to modify memory so i can find where arrays start would be nice

Try this:

Code: [Select]

check=02401AD7
critter_start=00A7F6F0
dwarfidpos=00A4A1B0
profession_start=043C

It may work; it may not.  In particular, I seem to recall new professions were added in the jump to 3D.

ran it, got the error log below
 just to reiterate this is dwarf fortress 22 110 22f, so its fairly old

id also like to know how you got the critter start ids and suchlike

also, i tried running foreman with only the new check value, and got THIS debug log(below the first one

[0x517A5D]

ran it, got the error log below

It's not gonna work then.  Sorry, guy.  I think source code is available for Foreman.  However I'm not offering to make it work.

id also like to know how you got the critter start ids and suchlike

Basically by matching up parts of two disassemblies, .40c which I have done a fair amount of looking at and knew the offsets in question, and .22f which I had not looked at before.

[ac31]

thanks for the help anyway

im sort of tempted to ask one of my lecturers whether he wants to have a crack at this, or maybe one of the student mentors at uni...

failing that i could email the original creator of dwarf foreman and ask for the source code, or decompile it myself

i WOULD try and make my own tool bar the fact that the only language i know anything about is java, and what little assembly code i know is for the motorola 68K processor

[0x517A5D]

I looked at that first error dump and it looked like you got the config file wrong.

Code: [Select]

  conf.cpp:  33: Got check=02401AD7critter_start=00A7F6F0dwarfidpos=00A4A1B0profession_start=043C


This indicates to me that when you make the config file, you didn't put line endings in it.

OR, more likely, that you used a text editor that put in Macintosh-style line endings instead of Unix or MS-DOS style.

Foreman will accept Unix (0D) or MS-DOS (0D,0A); it will not accept Macintosh (0A).

[ac31]

i jsut copied the text into the config file with notepad, and then again by typing it out,

[0x517A5D]

With the same results in the debug file?  (Delete the debug file each time you test-run foreman.)

What version do you have?  I have version 0.3.8b.

[ac31]

i was using ver 22f, but i think i might try a different old version

its mainly the more complex world generation and z-axis that make the new versions of the game kind of less fun to play, i know theres an extensive list of working foreman configurations for other versions so im gonna give those ones a try, that and they also have numerous bugfixes and other handy changes, ill hunt down a changelog first so i can find a ver that has the right balance of simplicity and complexity, so probably version 23a or 32a,

thanks for the help though, it was fun trying to work things out
