I will look into it, but its unlikely, that its a parsing bug, thats the kind of problems, that the xml has.

[Morphyum]

1) I switched to StAx from DOm for the XML reading and that improved the speed extremly. It also solved the memory overflow.
2) i found the error in the xml dump:
<historical_figure>
      <id>-100</id>
      <name>autochop/config abbeybrew</name>
      <appeared>0</appeared>
      <birth_year>0</birth_year>
      <birth_seconds72>0</birth_seconds72>
      <death_year>0</death_year>
      <death_seconds72>0</death_seconds72>
      <breed_id>0</breed_id>
   </historical_figure>

Anyone knows what that is, and why it is in there?

[Ruhn]

If that is the only entry with a negative ID#, I would say it is hard coded to trigger special logic within DF?
You could add your own hard code to ignore that (if every game has the same entry).

[Morphyum]

The point is as far as i noticed it only appears in already played worlds. In newly generated ones its not in there.
Also i cant hard code an exception there, because my xml api doesnt recognize the file as UTF-8 anymore cause of this.

[Putnam]

That's code left by DFHack's persistent configuration. You'll want to just have it parse figs with positive IDs.

autochop/config abbeybrew means that it's the settings for autochop in the fortress called abbeybrew.

Yea apparently that wasn't the problem for the missencoding
I just settled on reencoding all the legends xmls to ISO and now everything works.

Is there any special place where i should upload a first test version?

[Sallen]

I'd say the first post on this thread is as good a place as any. If you don't want to use Dropbox or something like that I can host it on my web server.

EDIT: I will probably begin work on the visualization this Sunday. Now that I finally got my home computer to behave like it should.

[Morphyum]

The program still has a problem with large xml files, but i dont know what the problem is. All the dwarfs get read but the linking doesnt happen o.O

[Morphyum]

Found the error, apparently i had so many integers, that java decided to use different objects for same numbers. Ok so this version is testing ready, just need a place to upload now.

[Morphyum]

Ok Edit on Entry Post, have fun testing ;-)

Good luck with this, it sounds great for succession forts.

Maybe you could add a screenshot to the first post, as an example of how the finished product would look for the player.

[Morphyum]

Sadly there's not much to screenshot yet, since the output is only a file. How it looks depends on the program you use to open the file.

I'm sorry. I am supposed to be working on an in-house data visualizer, but sadly my day job has been keeping my hands full. No matter how hard I work there's always more waiting for me >.<

I have not forgotten about this. As soon as I'm able I will dig into it.

I couldn't find the github link in this thread, but searching github revealed it

Hm, the XML parser is blowing up on some "invalid" unicode characters in my legends XML.

They might be values saved by dfhack, I'm not sure. Anyone encountered this?
