Hi, new player here.

I love every part of DF, and don't want to change it. I like the ASCII graphics, I like playing as just dwarfs, I like keyboard only controls.

There is one thing I want however.

I would like Dwarf Therapist, and just Dwarf Therapist installed. I don't wanna download a pack of mods and utilities I will never use (Low storage space on my laptop).

How do I do that?

note that therapist hasnt been updated to the latest version yet, so you have to use version 0.40.24

[PatrikLundell]

That can't be correct. DT is available in the latest LNP (0.43.03) for Windows, and there are layouts for the Windows 32 bit version of 0.43.05 at least. I don't know the status for other versions/OS'. I don't remember where I got the layout, but probably from inside the DT thread somewhere.

First download DT 37.0.   https://github.com/splintermind/Dwarf-Therapist

Then you need a memory layout (that matches your version of DF).  Look for it at https://github.com/splintermind/Dwarf-Therapist/tree/DF2016/share/memory_layouts - download (and move to correct folder...).

Alternatively if you are running Linux there is a 64bit/43.05 version which is working well, see the last couple of pages of the thread steel jackal linked above.  Otherwise you will need to stick to 32 bit versions.

And generally that thread is a better place for questions about Therapist.  But hopefully you are sorted?

yeah completely forgot they had it working for 32 bit, i just take a quick look at the github every week or so to see if its been updated

It's seems to be a great way to put off newbies by declaring that DT is only for a really old version of DF while hiding the version which actually works just fine.

'Oh but newbies should use Bloater-packs' isn't really an argument. DF is really simple to use, edit and add utils too once you know how. It's just the forums which make it all seem so opaque.

hey i learned how to play DF the hard way, no utilities, no wiki, no forum, just blind guesswork and many forts that all died before autumn.


a great way to put of newbies is to tell them about the most extreme and volatile things that have ever happened in DF and act as if they are completely normal or have been changed to work differently. like for example saying how a single goblin tooth in the hallway will mortify all your dwarves who pass by it making them freeze in fear every time they see it and eventually when they have passed by it so many times they snap under the stress of seeing a lone tooth that they tantrum destroying your entire fortress. and dont even think about trying to get somebody to throw the tooth away because the poor garbage dwarves will snap every time they throw something into the refuse stockpile. and then the carp will jump out of the river and eat your fishers. and then an immortal sponge will destroy your military. and then your noble will mandate 100 slade crowns to be made and everyone will be hammered to death for not making them.

[Shonai_Dweller]

Yeah, that works too.

You might want to check Dwarf Manipulator tool from DFHack. It's very primitive compared to Dwarf Therapist, but it's keyboard-controlled and integrates nicely into the game UI. It also works everywhere DFHack works - I'm currently using it on 64-bit 43.05 on Linux without any issues.

[Inconspicuous]

DFHack sounds useful, especially the labor management tool. How do I install that? Currently running the latest version of DF

[Lav]

You need to get DFHack version that matches your DF version (game version, 32/64 bit, OS). The link in the official DFHack thread points to 43.03-compatible version, but if you actually follow it and click "Releases", 43.05-beta1 downloads will be there. Installation instructions are pretty simple but vary a bit depending on your OS, so better read that yourself.

[Quietust]

One fair warning is that DFHack, by default, enables a whole bunch of stuff which may change the game in confusing ways, including over 50 custom keybindings and a dozen and a half "interface improvement tools".

If all you want is Manipulator, create a file called "dfhack.init", open it in your favourite text editor, then insert the line "enable manipulator". If/when you want to try out additional stuff, you can look at the "dfhack.init-example" file to see all of the stuff that would be enabled by default.

The latest Beta release for version 0.43.05 (at the moment, anyways) can be found here. Unfortunately, it looks like nobody's bothered to upload a Windows build yet...

[edit] Made a build myself and uploaded it - hopefully it works correctly.

The easiest way is to just run it with LNP.

That ainīt hard to just turn of "extras" in LNP with the buttons, and to just use it to start DF in ASCII with DF-hack and Dwarf therapist.

Then itīs possible to make some simple modification like prevent the fort to grow to fps-death and other things in the same way.

another positiv thing is that you get some UI-extras, like a search function so you can search for the fisherdwarfs and place them in the military directly after they have arrived to your desert fortress..

[Shonai_Dweller]

The easiest way to "install" it is to copy/paste it into the Df directory (clicking yes to overwrite one file). It doesn't need "installing" in the traditional sense. Setting options and stuff is probably easier with a pack though.
But, it's really not all that hard just to switch everything but Manipulator off though if the OP still wants to work with a 'clean' DF install.

[Fleeting Frames]

Yep. If you've downloaded LNP, you could also launch DT directly from the file/shortcut to file, without using the LNP launcher for just it.
