but can't get it started by clicking on it. so, it looks like i need to start it from python.

does anyone know what i need to type in to start it up? tried following the wiki's instructions, but it didn't work, probably because i was doing it wrong.

I think there was one packed up as an executable file, you should probably try that. That's what I used, because I've not got the first idea when it comes to coding.

You'll need to download tons of separate libraries and the right python version to get the python one to work.
Someone compiled it into an exe here.

DwarfCompanion only works with 40d, not the later versions. So you'll need to copy your df save into a 40d version run DwarfCompanion, save, and copy it back. Yea, it kinda sucks.

First off, if Python is properly installed, you can indeed run Dwarf Companion by double-click. It's better, though, to open a command line(Start -> Run -> cmd ), go to the directory you have it installed by typing, for example:

Code: [Select]

cd "\games\Dwarf Fortress\companion"...but replace the directory path with wherever you put Companion; and then, type

dfcompanion_prototype.py

If you do that, you might see errors that would otherwise be missed, which will help in debugging the problem.

Easier, though, to get the compiled versions as mentioned; do that and you don't need Python at all. You'll still want to run them from a command line so you can see errors, though.

There is a version of Dwarf Companion that works with 40d16, but it needs to be the right one. See the thread here: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=775.0

In short: If you have Dwarf Fortress 40d, Dwarf Companion 0.16 will work for you. If you have 40d16, then you need Dwarf Companion 0.17c. If you have any further problems, post them in the existing thread to ensure the people who know the most about DC will see it.
