It's annoying that you don't have any OS information on the first page here. You need to explain if it is Windows / Linux / OSX so we don't have to dig to figure it out.

Hello, thanks for spending time on this tool for me in your spare time! I would appreciate it if perhaps you could indicate on the first post the availability for different operating systems, thanks again!

ah well it's DF, so all things by proxy should have a learning curve right? anyway, i assumed most people just went immediately to the project page for information, but i'll make the o/s information more apparent in the original post.

Latest version works fine on ubuntu Linux with a few tweaks. Current working directory needs to be the root folder and launched as super user (sudo). Compiled from source.

Hello,

Wonderful work!

Your guidance would be gratefully received. I recently had six dwarves afflicted with a blistering syndrome - they all swelled up and bled everywhere & had to have surgery. All six survived. However, Dwarf Therapist is not showing them any longer, as thought they had died. I recall seeing something like this before, but I've not been able to find it: is there a way of making DT 'check again' / 'check more carefully' to realise the error of its ways? Sorry if it's very obvious - I think I have a bit of a blind spot for this one. My search for 'therapist' & 'syndrome' didn't lead me anywhere useful....

Thank you.

hrmm that does seem very strange, would you mind uploading your save so that i can take a look?

Reading the words Therapist and Syndrome next to each other... is it possible to show the syndromes that affect dwarves? I like how you can see those in Arena Mode, but dislike that you can never tell in Fortress Mode. That would be a very big change indeed. It wouldnt just ease things you can already do, but open up new informations, previously unreachable to the player. So, to make it short, I hope your answer is yes. ^^

Struggling with DFFD - what files do I need to upload?

[thistleknot]

I've been dealing with a weird bug that at first I was like, "oh, no biggie, I can just close and re-open dt".

what happens is I jump to some roles, and see a bunch are all the same (as if they all got assigned the same value)...

reading dwarf's doesn't fix it...

I have to close/re-open.

Problem is, I don't always see it, I don't see it on the labors screen, only when I go to roles... probably because the labors screen is using skills to draw squares... where-as roles is doing something different?

I dont know, but the roles are not updating right...

Next time I see it, I'll make a video and show you what's going on.

It's happened quite a few times btw... so there's some sort of "stopping of reading of values" going on.

The reason it can be a problem is... sometimes I don't even know it's happening until I go to the roles screen.

I've done a before/after labor optimization, and they come out quite different due to the roles being read wrong.  So there's potential for non optimal labor assignments...

and we know we don't want that now

yes it's possible to some degree. i've tried out showing the name/description of a syndrome and that works out alright. unfortunately i can't really show much more than the names and whether or not it's bad (needs hospitalization).

is this perhaps when you've reconnected to DF after closing and then reloading a save?

No it is not

With name you mean the SYN_NAME? That would be more then enough, because the name does not have to be "poison", modders could simply rename it to "Desert Scorpion Sting; Very poisonous, affects lungs and heart, can cause paralysis. Resistable, Size dilutes."

Same trick I use for the rune coatings. I just called the materials "blablabla bonus given by the intricate runes coating", done.

Even all vanilla syndromes (at least those in creatures) can be given a more descriptive name, if so desired.

yes that's right, the syn_name. so as you've described you could give it a more detailed name/description. after that it's just a matter of adding in some code to read the active syndromes on a unit and displaying them.

That is wonderful news, and I would like to officially request this to be added

Hello all,

I know there are numerous threads about Dwarf Therapist running on a Mac, but I hope this question has a simple answer.  I originally ran DF under WINE and felt like I was able to use it with the 20.4 DT just fine.  After playing on Windows for a while, then the OSX native, I've come back to trying to run under WINE (being able to see % of roles to assign labors, and assigning to squads from the military tab are indispensable).  I'm running vanilla DF with dfhack r3, yet when I start DT it literally takes minutes to load.  I do not remember it taking this long, at all.  It takes about a minute to connect, then it reads dorfs over another minute.  I have tried numerous different versions of wine, wine-developer branch, wine-crossover, etc, but DT under WINE seems to crawl.  I thought I remember playing and using it just fine; am I taking crazy pills, or is it this slow for everyone?!

Thanks,
AOC
