Reveal got deleted from the wiki? That was pretty much the first utility (along with some others) made for DF.. That's a shame.

Well, it would be better off in the gameplay questions forum, to be honest.  Not that it really matters all that much, mind you.  Just something to remember for next time.


Anyways, reveal.exe became somewhat obsolete after Rick (all hail the glorious creator) compiled it together with a few of his other utilities into a program called "Tweak".

Here's the link.


I didn't see a how-to guide, so here's how it works:  load up DF, run Tweak, click on the magnifying glass button, say 'yes', and then pick what utility you want to use from the list.

PTTG??

F.Y.I. Tweak needs a recent version of .NET for windows, so Macs and Winers will probably run into trouble.
