OK, I think we all appreciate the few people who can update DFHack.  Yes, the whole thing is help together by spit and maybe the spirits of someone's Unix ancestors.  Yes, it would be really nice if this was easier, but it's not.

Let's take anything further to the DFHack thread where it belongs.

Something wrong I could not get good result fom Windovs OS - there are no errors but the files that are created all empty ((
I have 2G Internet - Linux is not possible to download.
Waiting ... ... ...
Perhaps the author reveals the secret - how it's done

It's not possible on Windows, at all.  Best just to wait for the official update, I think.

Would it work on a virtual machine, or would that have complications to the memory offsets?

I try on a virtual PC and no matter update will be or not to be, already started to download ubuntu-15.10-desktop-i386

Is there a new  version of DwarfTherapist which is compatible tothe newest DF version (.06) yet?
If not, maybe a progress update from the developers? (currently working on X, ETA Y)

I am one of those people who find df simply unplayable without DwarfTherapist, it's an integral part of the game to me. Even with DT it's already a pain to manage every dwarf's professions, without it it's virtually impossible.

If not, does anyone know of a dwarf therapist like program which is already compatible to the newest version?

Retracted cause I am a jerk. But if you read the previous page you may find your answer...

Ok my new reply is still jerkish but cmon...

Yep you are still being a jerk, because you cannot expect people to read every damn page in a thread of dozens of pages now can you. Especially for threads like these you expect an updated OP.

I don't think it's too much to ask that people read the previous page before asking questions, and especially before demanding status reports from a developer who gives his time voluntarily.

Here's your status report:
Splinterz is currently working on whatever he damn well feels like working on, and the ETA for a dwarf therapist that works with .06 is whenever it gets done.

And no, there's nothing like therapist that's currently working with .06. There is something similar built into dfhack, but dfhack generally takes even longer to be available for new releases, so don't get your hopes up. And the one in dfhack isn't nearly as nice as therapist.

You of course realize you are being a jerk as well, yes? The people who make these tools for free, for a game that is free, probably get sick of answering the same question over and over again (and then repeat for every DF update) when people could easily read a page or two backwards in the appropriate thread at the very least before posting.

I think it would be another thing to make a post in a thread that hadn't seen any posts in a while to see if the project was still alive, but this thread is active.

Speaking for myself, amen. Obviously I don't mind questions or I wouldn't answer them, but a steady stream of "when update" is just plain tedious.

[sirdanilot]

By the way I did glance over the previous page before posting that and mainly found a discussion about DFhack rather than the current project. I had to go 2 pages back to find what you guys are referring to. Having off-topic discussions in this thread does not help lesser experienced people (such as myself).

I understand that people have lives and new updates do not come instantly, but all I was asking is whether the new update is already in progress of being made, an indication of time on it (this DF update is not really a very major update now is it), perhaps pointing to an alternative to DT (I am not a very experience player and I didn't know DT was the only thing around), etc.

The reason I am not asking the same about DFhack is exactly because people did give an indication of time; apparently updating that is extremely difficult. Knowing that I don't have to ask.

OP is updated, when you click on the link it states clearly it works with 42.05.....which is not 42.06

And I like being a jerk. Its kinda my thing, and what makes me funky....

Okay the last words I'll waste on this before I drop the subject:

If I were developing this I'd put something in the OP for the newer players such as 'NOTE: This version is not compatible with the newest DF version number X, if you wish to use DT use DF version Y instead'

If you were a newbie following one of the tutorials which often tell you to use DT and you just downloaded the latest DF version in your ignorant bliss, carefully set up your first fort only to find out that DT doesn't work with it, that discourages this wonderful game.

But ok Ill drop it, good luck to the developer.

If you're a newbie, welcome! I recommend you consider the Lazy Newb Pack, which bundles the latest release of the game for which there are stable utilities, in with those utilities, and includes a convenient GUI launcher to let you set your options.
