I am officially requesting that time-of-release the MacNewbPack includes documentation for the utilities it ships with, including a .txt or .html with links to the development site of these projects. I've just spent about an hour trying to find the documentation for Dwarf Family. Do you have any idea how many hits "Dwarf+Family+utility" gets on a website called Dwarf Fortress? Fer'serious!

Edit: About half the utilities are already shipping with readme.txts and .pdfs, so I guess what I'm asking for is a duplicate copy be set up in a Help folder, and that links to the project documentation be added for the missing ones. At which point, you may as well add in a button on the Utilities tab for that folder.

No promises on timing, but we'll get to it.

So, at this point, I'm seriously tempted to buy a gorram junk PC to read my Legends in....

Can't say I'm suprised.  You might find this interesting.

That's *very* interesting, but doesn't seem to work for me. Nor does the developer's website seem to have a contact page. Is he here on the forum somewhere?

Yeah, he is also the author of Soundsense.

Splinterz updated Dwarf Therapist for 42.04.

[OSX]Dwarf Therapist 34.0 for 0.42.04

I've released a new version for 42.04. Using this version for earlier DF versions may cause issues, so I'd advise against that for now. If anything explodes please let me know and/or post a save.

Spoiler: update notes: (click to show/hide)

• added message regarding caged animals to the butcher column
• specific items and general item types should compare correctly for equipment
• added 'chain' to armor names when applicable
• added 'large' and 'small' prefixes to armor when applicable
• added a shaped indicator to armor when applicable
• holding CTRL when using the information dock will prevent the text for updating
• fixed an issue where some fortress positions weren't always loaded
• fixed some unit preferences

Previous version of Dwarf Therapist 33.0 for 0.42.02-0.42.03 can be downloaded from this link.

I changed the DF folder to allow the program to auto-download the new files, and updated to the new DT, and I can play, but I have two issues, and I wonder what I am doing wrong:

1. No graphics appear in the Graphics tab of the launcher. Refresh does nothing.
2. DT shows all of the dwarfs properly, but cannot change labours.

Is there a better way for me to update my copy?

1: It's intentional, we can't predict when the raws are going to change, and 42.04 added a lot of changes. Best case you you'd be missing some features/animals, worst case your games won't load. Usually you can find updated sets here.
2: Try this one.

Thank you, fricy. Any ballpark estimates of when the new LNP will be out?

Edit: the graphics worked fine for the tiles, but not the dwarfs--do I need to change another setting to get them to display correctly? Does that require TWBT?

For future reference I think the settings your are looking for is [GRAPHICS:YES] in data/init/init.txt.
And now, for something completely different:

New year, new Macnewbie.

This version also comes with disabled dfhack, but now I'm cautiously encouraging you to play with it, but the warning to backup your saves still stands. A notable app that was added is the freshly minted Legends Browser released by Karater.
To use it:
- Load your fortress with dfhack (backup first...)
- Press Ctrl-Shift-L to load legends mode
- Press Ctrl-A to export legends information
- Start Legends Browser, wait for the browser window to open and navigate to /Macnewbie/Dwarf Fortress to load legends.xml

Enjoy!

And now I'll be checking every day for the next TWBT release!

[MobRules]

Legends viewer is available for mac now? Sweet!

(I've been using a very clumsily-constructed shell script that I wrote to try to parse the legends.xml file into a usable set of files; it's only been partially successful.)

Yeah, finally! I had been slowly hacking on a web-based version as well. Glad I wasn't the only one, and he wasn't as lazy as me

[lethosor]

It's a different utility called Legends Browser, actually (but it looks pretty similar, so it may be reusing some code from Legends Viewer).

Macnewbie 10.3a w/ 42.04

Here's a new quickfix version to pass the time until we wait for all utilities to support the new DF version (42.05). This release contains a few bugfixes and some new/old functions. Twbt is finally available for 42.04, so you can find it here along with the Gemset pack. Armok Vision is back, the launcher has been updated with some fixes and new hacks, and you can also find an updated Legends Browser in the pack. The documentation has been expanded as requested by Romeofalling, take a look at LNP/about/Readme.pdf, you might find something new.
