I mean I can't find it on the repo.

It's in a seperate repo:
https://github.com/DFHack/lethosor-scripts/blob/master/gui/settings-manager.lua

Issue to fix these problems:
https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/issues/723

I don't remember that option, but there's a ctrl-shift-n hotkey in the default configuration that should work.

Thank you...that was it. Doesn't show in the DFH menu where the other custom commands are.

Is there an ETA for a 42.06 build?

[funkydwarf]

Go to the GitHub page for dfhack, link in the original post, select the develop branch, look at the logged changes, most notably the cmakelists.txt. If it says oldversion (42.05) its no where near ready. if it says newversion (42.06) then its still at least a week away, because , to protect the impatient our friendly dfhack devs will not release a version until its had some testing.

On "being a tester", if your not able to compile it yourself then you are probably not a good candidate for testing it. Although, I have never had a conversation with the dfhack dev team and am unsure of their policy, learning to set up a dev environment should be a minimum so you don't have to bug them to send you a new binary every time they change some code..  I don't even think there are official "testers" its just all the people that can compile it running it reporting back. basically I am trying to prevent this post from turning into "funky dwarf said I could be a tester" and "how do I be a testor send me's da filez" instigator. 

and if you wanna compile it yourself after they change the cmakelist , know its probably going to corrupt your save cause they just changed that file and nothing else yet, and read the great great great dfhack documentation webpage which you can find if you try, its all in there. there is some more info on compiling in the GitHub repository , but the read the doc page is a lot better and more complete.

Seconding @funkydwarf; we'll get an alpha build once it's ready for general testing.  Until then, there's not much you can do to help without compiling DFHack.

Note that pretty much all the docs are available as text files in the ./docs/ folder on github as well as on readthedocs.org

Yeah, compiling DFHack isn't that hard, either. Just follow the instructions step by step.

The biggest headache is the download time for all the required stuff. Also finding a copy of visual studio 2010, since MS stopped making the express version easy to find.

Neat, thanks.

Also finding a copy of visual studio 2010

I have multiple installations of it for some reason so I think I'm good. Is there a reason DFHack still uses 2010 instead of moving to a newer Community edition or whatever?

Yeah, DFHack absolutely has to use whichever compiler was used for Dwarf Fortress, or it won't work.

That said, you can still open the project with any newer visual studio and compile it from there, as long as you tell it not to upgrade the project. Then it will still use the 2010 compiler, but you sill need at least VS2010 express installed, and upgraded to SP1

I'll second that - just be careful to follow the instructions exactly, and make sure that you're getting the "develop" branch from the git repository, not the standard branch.

The cool thing (imo) about compiling your own dfhack is that you never have to ask "is it ready yet/when will it be ready" - you can try it out for yourself and find out without bothering a soul.

Wait, that's all I need, Microsoft's Visual Studio 2010?

Be aware that just because it compiles doesn't mean it works.

Absolutely.  If your computer explodes into flame and your dwarves all cry for milk and cookies instead of beer and whiskey, at least you know that dfhack isn't ready yet for the version you're trying to run

You need a handful of things to compile dfhack.  It's like playing Dwarf Fortress, except you're compiling code instead of killing off alcohol-fueled beards.  Remember, losing is !!FUN!!

On a more routine note, does anyone know how to attach a location to an announcement in Lua's dfhack.gui?  I'd like the player to be able to hit z to zoom to the location.

[Putnam]

makeAnnouncement has a pos argument

[Dirst]

makeAnnouncement has a pos argument

Thanks for the pointer, but I apparently failed to decipher gui.h properly.  This is the header line

Code: [Select]

DFHACK_EXPORT int makeAnnouncement(df::announcement_type type, df::announcement_flags mode, df::coord pos, std::string message, int color = 7, bool bright = true);but I get errors about a "complex object" in my tests, mostly likely an issue with the announcement_flags.  Would you mind giving me the code to announce "This is a test" at position {x=10,y=20,z=30} with no zooming or pausing?
