I've been trying to get nano fortress to work on my laptop with windows xp. What I do:

1. Start up Dwarf Fortress through Peridexis Errant.
2. I run nanofortress.exe from the Dwarf Fortress folder.
An error pops up telling me that "nanofortress.exe is not a valid Win32 application".

Anyone got an idea about what I can do to prevent this?

I play on XP, and the app from the first post also gives me the error,
but don't forget that the latest dfhack has a tool with same functionality
as nanofortress.

type this in your dfhack window

Code: [Select]

embark-tools enable
embark-tools nano enable
when you start up your game, and you will be able to resize your embark area to any size.

I play on XP, and the app from the first post also gives me the error,
but the version I have on my harddrive works with the latest version 34.11
I have no idea if it's the latest one, but since it does what it's supposed to,
I uploaded it to
http://www.filedropper.com/nanofortressworkingwith3411

Try this version.

As always, test the files you download with

Thank you. Will check it out when I get home.

Posting so I can find when I'm on something other than Ipad.

This should help the FPS on my Acer Netbook-an beach embark starts at 5FPS and only gets worse.

On windows, Symantec claims that Nanofortress.exe is a virus. ("Infostealer.Gampass")

[BigD145]

Norton considers everything to be a virus.*
*or damn near

Can somebody reupload it?

Does anyone have a copy of the Window XP compatible nanofortress available? the current available version hates XP...

Most assuredly a false positive, but I wonder what code could be setting it off, and if there is an alternative.

The point of nano-fortress is to poke at specific bits of another process.  That's a very virus-y behavior.

[Draco18s]

Basically:
There are legitimate uses for memory hacking.*  Such as nanofortress.

Such behavior, however, is almost always used by viruses to go undetected and collect information they're interested in without being spotted.

*Heck, Java has whole packages for doing this--using both Reflection and ASM--and such behavior is how Minecraft Forge works without having to redistribute the original source code.
