dfh text might cover stockpile links on that screen

I'm a simple guy with no software experience, would it be [possible] for me to download and compile df hack for 0.40.10 from github? And if so how?

[jeancallisti]

I finally got to upload the DFHack plugin tutorial I wrote mast year : http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Utility:DFHack/Programming

Reminder: I'm not a DFHack specialist so it might contain inaccuracies, but it's an excellent start for any DFHack plugin programmer noob.

It's not that hard, but requires installation of number of tools like Visual Studio, Perl... You can do that if you really want, otherwise you can ask somebody to upload Windows build somewhere, or just wait, I think dfhack for .10 soon will be out.

[JonathanCR]

I hope so, because I too am a complete uninitiate to all of this and I'd very much like to make a couple of fixes to my 40.10 game.

[Nimrod]

I greatly appreciate all the work you guys put into this tool! Thank you.

That said, since I am just able to understand what you are talking about ... I am in no way able to compile "my own" windows build for 40.10 ... if someone has already done so, could he/she maybe put it up for download somewhere?
I would gladly take a "may crash be careful" build

cheers

Agreed, I also would make use of this if anyone has had success with a 40.10 compile for Windows.

I only ever use a couple of DFHack functions, like PROSPECT and REVEAL, so I figure I'm unlikely to bork up my game.  I'll manage without WORKFLOW as well.

You're having the same problem I had yesterday morning. You need to make sure you're getting a copy of the develop branch, not the master branch. If you look back at the messages from yesterday morning, you can see a few different options for the command to grab the correct branch.

It'd be great if you guys could make tools that look at creatures to find out why stuff happened like a random fight that broke out in a mead hall a moment ago.

[khearn]

Check the dwarf's thoughts (v->z->enter) and you'll probably see that he/she is very unhappy for one reason or another.

I meant adventure mode.

[khearn]

Have you tried asking someone in the mead hall? I haven't played much adventure mode in 40.XX, but there seems to be a vastly greater opportunity to ask questions about nearly everything.

Not sure if this is an old bug or new or not a DFHack bug at all (DF seems to have some screen resizing issues atm), but the text for the DFHack-added UI functions displays as if the window has never been resized: http://i.imgur.com/A1JxrWk.png

This is not a big problem usually, but on certain screens (trading with merchants) it blocks entire rows of information.

Don't see a problem on your screenshot though.

Ah, yeah. Bad example pic - the DFHack text should be at the bottom of the screen though because it runs over the lists of 'give' entries: http://i.imgur.com/9AEI6DB.png

The trade screen was changed to take advantage of the entire screen height in 0.40.01, and that plugin (autotrade) hasn't been updated yet - see https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/pull/289 for a fix. Also, https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/pull/290 fixes the stockflow layout issue.

Compiling DFHack for Windows is actually really easy if explained, and it doesn't require a zillion programs, just four.

You need:
CMake
Git - I prefer Github or mysysgit for these purposes (simple command line stuff).
Perl - Strawberry Perl is simplest
Visual Studio 2010 Express for C#

• Install all four of the above programs.
• Hold down Shift and right-click in an empty space on your desktop. Select "Open command window here".
• Type "git clone -b develop git://github.com/dfhack/dfhack.git" and hit Enter. (Remove the "-b develop" part if you don't want the development branch version, but you usually will.)
• Type "cd dfhack" and hit Enter.
• Type "git submodule init" and hit Enter.
• Type "git submodule update" and hit Enter.
• Close the command prompt and open the DFHack folder you just made and then open the Build folder inside of that.
• Double-click on 'generate-MSVC-gui.bat'.
• In the window that pops up, uncheck the box that says "DL_RUBY", then click Configure, and lastly click Generate.
• Close that window and enter the new VC2010 directory that was created and double-click on dfhack.sln.
• Open the "Solution Explorer" tab to the right, scroll down to "PACKAGE", and then right-click on it and hit "Build".
• When it eventually finishes running, open the new folder "_CPack_Packages", then the folder "win32", then the folder "ZIP", and you will have your very own zipped-up DFHack build.
