PTW; this looks great!

I notice that it doesn't convert the characters from ascii to unicode. You may want to correct that.

How did you get the maps for regions information? I thought it wasn't available in the xml export.

thanks for putting it in the starter pack

Oh, you don't know how long have I been waiting for a Legends app that runs on osx...

^ This. PTW.

Total newbie here. As in I started playing DF the day before yesterday. I got this utility via the Macnewbie package. I went ahead and installed Java and when I launch Legendsbrowser I get a new window in Safari. I have no idea where to direct it to though. I can't find any xml files, where is the appropriate file and how do I get this to work? Thanks so much, I'm in the process of digesting a ton of info. I read there was a learning cliff but wow...

To use it:
- Load your fortress with dfhack (backup first...)
- Press Ctrl-Shift-L to load legends mode
- Press Ctrl-A to export legends information
- Start Legends Browser, wait for the browser window to open and navigate to /Macnewbie/Dwarf Fortress to load legends.xml

Additionally you can use the Launcher to compress and package the exported legends (look for the Process Legends button at the bottom of the Advanced tab in the launcher), but there's a bug with the Sites view in the current version with that method, so best use this for now.  If you process the legends they'll be moved to "/User Generated Content/Legends/(region name)", otherwise they are just dumped into "/Dwarf Fortress".
+ Check the Readme.pdf in /LNP/about for stuff like this.

typically you would generate a new world and when you start playing you can choose "legends"-mode, where you can review the history of your world. there you have the option to hit "X" and export the history as XML file. This file is placed in your "Dwarf Fortress" folder of your installation. With a starter pack and dfhack you have some more options. When in "legends"-mode you can switch to the dfhack terminal window and enter "exportlegends info" or "exportlegends all". The first one will do the same as hitting "X" but also export maps, world gen params and an additional XML with more data for events and history. The second will also export all site maps. Normally legends-mode can only be opened when starting a new game. But with dfhack you can open it anytime by entering "open-legends".
After you have exported your history, you can open it with legends browser by navigating to the "Dwarf Fortress" folder inside "Macnewbie". But the launcher has the option to make an archive of all the exported files (based on your world size the XML files can be over 100MB). When you open LegendsBrowser you will be pointed to the folder where the archives are stored.

Aha! Thanks so much guys. Like so many other things I wouldn't have just stumbles across that. I'm diving back in, wish me luck.
