Newbie Question (hope I got the right thread):

Is it possible to add "Tooltips" to the Headlines of Skills, Attributes etc? Would help newbies (like me) (especially not-english-natives)  a lot to have a tooltip in the programm what the Attribute etc is usefull for (or is it usefull at all... ) when looking at the Grid...  now I am struggeling with DF, DT and 100 Wiki-pages the same time -.-

after reading the manual I thought it should be change/addable in the game_data.ini, but (at least) my copy of DT from the Starter Pack doesn't have any ini  ??

Does anyone know where I can find the ini and what I have to change/add where (as far as I know, the old DT which comes with Masterwork 6.2 does have a /etc folder with the ini but the Starter Pack version does not have the folder)

or - even better: has someone a file with the Tooltips included made before?

Maybe it would be great to include such tooltips (even if the non-noobs wouldn't need them) to the DT per se as a help for newbies at all - guess it has only be done 1 time...

by 'headlines' do you mean the column headers?

there aren't really any descriptions defined in the game_data.ini, so overriding it won't help with that. can you give an example of what you'd expect to see in these tooltips?

It says:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows".

Should now be fixed, i hope: http://bnw.ddns.net/mirror/df/dt/Dwarf-Therapist-40.24-1.7z

is this compiled from the most recent DF2014 branch's commit?

It is. At least on my DF it works. Shouldn't it?

[utunnels]

Yeah, it works now. Thanks.

for the most part... but you may want to backup your dwarf therapist.ini. if i was more certain everything was fine, i would have packaged up a release

there's still the aforementioned bugs which can corrupt your settings, custom views, etc. additionally, the gridviews have some new settings saved with them, so custom views may not be loaded properly if anyone uses this version, and then goes back to the past versions.

Thanks for your reply. I never used any of those features Other than that, it works fine.

Hi

Yes the column headers are the one..

hmm.. what I had in mind was something like:

• Judge of intent -->   important for trading, allows a broker to see how a trader feels about a particular deal.
• Appraiser  -->  relates to trading and item value estimation, used (only?) by Broker

• Agility  --> This attribute increases the speed at which a creature works  -- a creature with maximum agility and strength can move around three times faster than a creature with minimum agility and strength.
• Recuperation   -->  Increases the rate of wound healing.   
  

(ok, doesn't  look very usefull, but it is if it is not too time consuming)

Gregariousness  -->  enjoying the company of others  (I know, in the tooltips of the "stats" you can find most of the meaning, but...)

maybe Attribues/traits etc that are important could be named as such too like: Stress Vulnerability --> very important (if it is, I can't say -.-)

EDIT: basicly, just "what the hell, does this thing do" (if it is known)

Hey, I know everyone is talking about 40.24, but does it work for 40.23 yet? And if yes, how do I get it to work?

It does. You can use my build a few posts up, taking in mind the precautions to take that splinterz wrote.

It's for 40.24 isn't it? Or does it work with 40.23 too?

EDIT: It seems to work for 40.23, thanks for the help!

So I just cannot get any version of DT to run for me and I am at my wit's end. Every time it tells me that it cannot talk to the version of DF that I am running, I can see that it is a checksum issue because it shows me the checksum I was running and the one it needs. But the problem is I have no god damn idea how to fix this, someone...halp.

Well, did you acquire an ini file for the version of DF that you're running and fill in the correct checksum?

what version of DT, what version of DF, what O/S? are you using the legacy version?

The checksums should already be filled in, so it's more likely a missing ini file.

I'm using the 30.1 version of DT with DF 40.19 (legacy, though I'm not quite sure what the difference is between SDL and legacy) on Windows 7 64 bit.
