I've written a few squad and military tools for Dfhack using C++. I meant more like I could help find the symbols with a debugger and stuff, I just have no idea how the workload is divided or who's even doing what currently.

Yeah, the menu searches are absolute bliss.

I'm stuck in a goblin dark fortress. Reveal + exterminate troll would have really helped 

[nickburns]

Probably a silly question...
Has the latest version of DFHack been updated for the latest Dwarf Fortress release?

[TheFlame52]

no

[Putnam]

if it were, the title of the post would be "DFHack 0.42.02-r1"

[nickburns]

Thats what I figured, but thanks.

So today addresses for Linux were updated.
I compiled DFHack on my pc and most of stuff is already working.

Just because it compiles doesn't mean it works.

Can confirm. A lot of things work. Some tools are prone to corruption. At least manager is functional. I prefer it before Therapist.

Ditto, I managed to get prospector up and running. You don't realize how much you rely on things until you have to spend far too much time figuring out how to get them working.

You obviously don't work for a AAA videogame studio.

...or nearly any software shop with a dedicated QA department and a relentless focus on billable hours.

The number of times I've seen 'baseline product code' that is, prima facie, broken before installation is mind-boggling. (I've seen code I could tell from a cursory reading would never have worked, and I'm hardly an expert programmer!) It turns out that they can use local QA to make up for the costs they don't bill while they're still making the product we're selling, so why use internal product-team QA when we can offload the costs to the customer and get site support devs/QA to clean it up in a Big Damn Hurry at the Last Possible Minute?

/sigh

I would offer warm-hearted programmer encouragement and advice. But I am not a programmer. Thank you to all who put in the time though!

I can confirm that with the latest xml updates pretty much everything you can expect works on Linux (and by that I mean the UI tools everyone uses like reveal/prospect/workflow/search/etc. still no luck with Rendermax on the other hand). Of course, this is to be taken with the usual grain of salt (i.e. very early experimental build, may crash randomly, may corrupt your saves, your binaries, your hard-drive, your soul, your firstborn, etc.).
