[DFHack]# startdwarf 15
E: RuntimeError: ./hack/scripts/startdwarf.rb:18: patch address not available
 ./hack/scripts/startdwarf.rb:18
 (eval):19:in `load'

this is my problem, i was reading about this on internet and the only one asnwer could be find the file  the dfhack.init example file and rename it dfhack.init, and still does not work for me.
I have the starter pack launcher (the lastest) and version df v.043.03

The address for the starting dwarf count isn't available, i.e.  a new one has not been supplied by a contributor yet. Hence the tools that depend on it fail to execute.

thanks

If you're running the Windows version, the address you want is 0xC9922F. Edit hack/symbols.xml and insert it in the correct place (0.43.03/Windows, start_dwarf_count*) and startdwarf should work correctly.

* since I believe people who use tools should understand how they work, I'm not going to explain it in more detail - you'll need to figure out for yourself exactly what you need to do

This value is incorrect.  I pasted it into symbols.xml and got the same error.  I think it is from an older version.

If you got the same error, it means that you pasted it in wrong place. If it was from older version it would probably crash.

I fiddled a bit with the GM editor and start_dwarf_count doesn't seem to exist under df.global

[ringringlingling]

maybe you can tell me where I made my mistake?

from C:\DF\Dwarf Fortress 0.43.03\hack\symbols.xml

Code: [Select]

<global-address name="save_on_exit" value="0x19BAB4A"/>

        code

        <global-address name="start_dwarf_count" value="0xC9922F"/>

        generated standingorders

        <global-address name="standing_orders_gather_minerals" value="0x010012b4"/>

That's the save_on_exit value for v0.43.01, which means you added it in the wrong place. Like I said previously, you need to add it to the section for v0.43.03.

[ringringlingling]

You're messing with me, right?
The version number is 43.03

Perhaps I need to explain more clearly:

from C:\DF\Dwarf Fortress 0.43.03\hack\symbols.xml

Code: [Select]

<global-address name="save_on_exit" value="0x19BAB4A"/>

        code

        <global-address name="start_dwarf_count" value="0xC9922F"/>

        generated standingorders

        <global-address name="standing_orders_gather_minerals" value="0x010012b4"/>

The symbols.xml for DFHack 0.43.03 contains offsets for three different versions of DF - 0.43.01, 0.43.02, and 0.43.03 (technically 7, if you include Linux and OSX). Based on the values of the other offsets you quoted ("save_on_exit" and "standing_orders_gather_minerals"), you inserted the offset in the first version block you found (which was for 0.43.01) rather than following my instructions and inserting it in the block for version 0.43.03.

[ringringlingling]

not sure how I was supposed to know that, but thanks.

Well, the sections are labeled with <symbol-table name='v0.43.01 SDL' os-type='windows'> and <symbol-table name='v0.43.03 SDL' os-type='windows'>.
