Is there a program/mod that reveals map tiles for the current version (40d)?
Really getting tired of seeing £ on the embark screen and not being able to find the HFS.

You could try:

It doesn't reveal the entire map but it certainly helps finding things.
Also has the added bonus that if you do find magma or a river it will correctly enable magma buildings and underground plantlife.

If you're certain you want a full reveal, "Gibbed Dwarf Fortress Tweak" will do it.
grab it from http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/User:Rick/Tweak
and get the latest xml file from
http://www.geocities.com/jifodus/tables/dwarvis/

There are instructions on the wiki page, i can't check it right now I'm at work :S

[Magnnus]

Can someone please explain how to use the xml file to get tweak to work with v0.28.181.40d. I'm completely clueless.

I tried adding that line, and although it allows tweak to run none of the modules work.

I just tried the automatic address finder with dtil and I just get an error that it can't find memory.ini.

At the moment, the Dtil plugin & the following are two very different releases (even though they share the same base code). I intentionally didn't bump the thread since Toady hasn't released a new version, however, I did quietly add this bit. Maybe I should've...

As of September 19, 2008 you can now update configuration for Tweak, Dwarf Foreman, and 3Dwarf/Dwarvis. It's still easy, but it isn't as clean as the integration with Dtil.

• Download http://www.geocities.com/jifodus/discovery/discovery_standalone.zip (age: September 19, 2008)
• Extract to a folder
• Run Jifodus.PatternsEngine.Standalone.exe
• Click File>Open
• Navigate to the Dwarf Fortress folder and open up dwarfort.exe
• Ensure the information displayed in the "Status" tab is correct
• On the "Tools" tab, setup the paths for the tools you want the configuration updated
• Click Update
• Wait for it to notify of it's completion

...

Note: As of September 19, 2008, when you generate the configuration for Tweak, it will warn that the patterns enable_magma_forge and enable_magma_furnaces don't exist. This is to be expected since Tweak can lookup those two values for itself; I'll eventually be adding patterns until then, they will remain missing.

This worked perfectly, thank you.

I can't use Tweak because the 200 kb program needs 70 MB worth of .NET runtime just so someone could spare a few lines of code. Is there anyone that has the old reveal.exe?

Certain locations and offsets in DF have changed, so the old reveal.exe doesn't work.  I even tried patching the locations directly into reveal.exe and it didn't quite work right.

I do agree on the bulkiness of the .NET runtimes, especially as I needed multiple versions to get tweak running, and I'm not even sure which versions are required, I ended up installing everything I could find.  It was frustrating.

A last thought: I could easily make a utility that reveals a 255x255 region every time a map square is dug out.  Would that be something you would want?

reveal.exe does work when it has an appropriate memory.ini, I just tried it on v0.28.181.40d and it worked flawlessly. Also, my config generator is capable of generating config files for Rick's old tools, since that's why I originally wrote it; I even have configs back to v0.28.181.39a, I could've had more, but I deleted the very old ones.

I've never installed a .net runtime directly myself, except once when I upgraded Vista's 3.0 to 3.5. I've always installed it through installing Visual Studio. But I can say that .NET 1.0 is different from .NET 2.0, I don't know how 3.0 and 3.5 fit into the picture.

Ok so I followed the updating instructions and got it up to the point where all the circles are red, but now I can't activate modules. What have I done wrong?

[Thuellai]

Tweak?  You've got to attach to process.  Then the circles will turn blue or green or some such.  And DF has to be running when you do, so it can find the process to attach to.

[Dari]

I have Tweak open whilst running DF but when I select a module to activate it doesn't do anything.

[Thuellai]

Because you have to first select ATTACH TO PROCESS.  Just because it's running doesn't mean it's attached to the .exe yet, you have to tell it to do that!

[Dari]

Ok and then it asks me if I'm sure I want to select proccess 6032, upon answering yes the circles turn red, but I can't do anything.
