What do I have to do to get Tweak to run under 40d11?

I tried editing the XMLs, but all attempts failed so far, beacause I can't generate a valid hash for the version.

I believe tweak works through editing memory entries and that the memory entries haven't been located in the new 40dx versions, is anybody looking?

[userpay]

What I do if I were to use tweak or dwarf companion is keep a copy of the regular 40d, copy the save to that, alter it, then copy it back.

Heal and warp were never updated for that, though.

So what needs to be found?

I need a short description of what it does, and a location in some previous version of DF.

Then I can try to match up code sequences.

DwarfManager works with 40d11, at least on Windows, so their XML data files include the locations of some of the memory bits -- the creature vector and the language tables, in particular.

At least from the XML files of DwarfManager one can piece most memory vectors together. The only problem rilly is the silly version hash 
There are billions of ways of generating such a hash, and once I have that hash, Tweak can find the process and start finding most relevant memory vectors on its own.

From the versions.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<versions>
    ...
    <version name="0.27.176.38c" hash="9147b5e922a30873fd1a742b1dea1724" />
</versions>

Output of md5sum:

[C:\Games\Dwarf Fortress]md5sum 38c/dwarfort.exe
9147b5e922a30873fd1a742b1dea1724 *38c/dwarfort.exe

[aklyatne]

I've gotten the md5 hash and put it in the versions.xml file properly, and there's a 40d11 folder in the versions directory with the proper offsets.  It can't find the process, though.  Vanilla 40d11 except for init changes and orcmod.

   <version name="0.28.181.40d11" hash="6f81231b845e9c9dc29aaf57705ccc7c" />

...is the hash I got.

[0x517A5D]

Tweak is hardcoded to look for a process that has the executable name "dwarfort.exe", not "Dwarf Fortress.exe".  Copy or rename the exe, run it, and try Tweak again.

If things work, please post the versions/0.28.181.40d11/* files.

posting to bump a much-needed thing.

if you can get heal to work in 40d, that would be nice, and many grateful dwarfs will sing your praises.

...unless their throats are red. then they will gurgle your name a bit, and bleed to death and/or suffocate.
