Yeah, prospector doesn't work with the new version.  Since it's been out for a couple hours, I don't know what magical patch you're expecting.

You should contact whoever made this third party application then.

I guess we're back to the dark ages where adamantine was actually hard to find, dwarves were dwarves, and elves were dead.

woot its back to the russian roulette of death hidden inside our mountain sides.

yeah the regional maps got an overhaul twice (could be more) from the last update. Prospector's multiple release stability relied on that very code not changing dramatically as it did.

we probably wont see a working prospector for a long time...

Prospector had survived a few version changes. And some utils can be adapted to the new versions with a simple text file with memory positions.

Not really magic.

I recall that prospector didn't function in the same way as the others though, it directly hijacked the display kernel or something like that.  Thats why it had DF itself display the info instead of displaying the data in another window, and why it was multiple version compatible.  But it probably relied on the code for the display not changing.

It's also possible that Toady intentionally broke it.  I honestly don't know what I'd think about a program like that messing with one of my games.

Memory positions won't help fix that I don't think.

Fuck you. Fuck you and you're stuck up bullshit attempts to tell people how to enjoy a game. Fuck you and all of the other assholes on this otherwise excellent board who use terms like "savescumming" or mock people for how they like to play.

Die in a fire asshole.

Hey now, there's no need to start a flame war, especially when you're pulling off the same stuck up bullshit. I almost agree that Regional Prospector should die as it dampens the experience of OMIGODTHEREWASADAMANTITEANDMAGAMHEREOHCHRISTJESUSDEAMONSEVERYONEOHGODDAMN...

EDIT: Had typed "Anonemoose" below when I meant "MaxVance". Fixed.

My point of view is essentially the polar opposite of mouth breathers like MaxVance . I contend that people should enjoy DF however they see fit: with utils or without. With backup saves or without. Players have the freedom to do as they choose.

MaxVance , who was not only shitting on this thread but the one in the Modding forum as well - for no obvious reason than pure asshatery - seems to feel he has the right to denigrate or restrict this freedom.

With utilities, people are free to the "experience of OMIGODTHEREWASADAMANTITEANDMAGAMHEREOHCHRISTJESUSDEAMONSEVERYONEOHGODDAMN" if they choose. Likewise, if they prefer not to or have already been there done that a dozen times, they can choose to use the utils.

What someone does in their own instance of a single player game in no way "dampens" that experience for anyone else. And to claim it does borders on the outright insane.

These utilities are made by some extremely skilled and dedicated coders in their spare time. They provide more to the community, and their contributions are of such a singular nature, than bile spewing worthless skinbags like MaxVance could ever dream of.
