I'm most interested in the MANIFEST file could someone who has experiance with these files about these

[DeathOfRats]

That's either the 40d11 or 40d13 version, right?

Those are files related to the changes made from 40d so that DF will work nicely with the SDL library (http://www.libsdl.org/)

As far as I can tell:

zlib1.dll : for working with compressed data (probably images)

SDL_image.dll : part of the SDL
SDL.dll : part of the SDL

Optiping.exe : You sure it's not Optipng.exe? If it is, it has to do with image processing
msvcrt.dll
msvcr90.dll
msvcr80.dll
msvcp90.dll
msvcp80.dll
msvcm90.dll
msvcm80.dll : All these are part of the windows runtime. It's necessary for programs written using the microsoft development suite (Visual Studio) to work. There are differences between the files, but unless you're a programmer, that'll only confuse you.

Microsoft.VC90.CRT.MANIFEST : This one has probably something to do with the compilation of the files using Visual Studio. I'm not sure if it's even necessary.

"                "80  "                   " : ? Not a clue.

libtiff-3.dll : A library for working with TIFF images.
libpng.dll : A library for working with PNG images.
jpeg.dll : A library for working with JPEG/JPG images.

fmod.dll
fmodex.dll : Not a clue what these two are for, but yet more libraries.

Ok im just making sure none of these files are malware,some files kina looked a bit off

[MrFake]

fmod could be for audio.

If you only want the graphics, you could just take the data/art and raw/graphics directories.  I use them (converted to .bmp) for 40d.  The latest Mike Mayday pack appears to be 40d11.

Ok I got that done well now, I was going through the folders and I found the dwarf manager, I heard about this program so I tried to run it, however It seemed to being to connect to some network.Do you have an idea of what this mght be?

[DeathOfRats]

That's weird, DM shouldn't be doing anything with networks. What makes you think it's trying to connect to one? Do you get a firewall message or something?

If it's the "Not connected" in the status bar, that refers to a running Dwarf Fortress instance, not the network.

The thing starts up some program its in asian text so i can't read it but the point is the shows a computer tower and 3 blinking dots

[gtmattz]

Uhhhh, thats not dwarf manager that you are describing there... TBH I have no clue what that (asian text blinking tower etc...) could be.  It is not part of the default dwarf manager that should have been in the mayday download that is for certain.

[Puck]

yeah. post screenshot pretty please...

[HammerHand]

While Dwarf Manager doesn't do anything with networks, it does require that you have a certain network service pack or something like that.  I only know about it because it's mentioned in the tutorial that got me started on the game at all, and it's been so long now that I can't remember what it was called.  I do know it's automatically packaged in more recent versions of Windows, but I had to DL it for my old '98 machine (that I am thankfully no longer using).

Your problem might be something missing from your OS.  Or maybe you just have the wrong program.  An alternative to Dwarf Manager called Dwarf Therapist is being worked on (with an alpha release available).  You can find a thread on it over in the DF Modding forum.

[DeathOfRats]

Ah, yeah. Being written in C# (AFAIK), Dwarf Manager requires you to have the .Net framework installed, though I'm not sure of the version. Still, I'm not sure why that would give the (very odd) results the OP describes.
