Awesome, it's fun to mess around with even in this state

I'm not sure how well it will work in non-windows computers. Tell me about any problems you'll encounter etc.

Just a quick tip, from a fellow java programmer: be careful about how you detect/handle newlines. Remember that Windows/DOS uses "\n\r" (or it it "\r\n"? idr), linux uses only "\n" and Mac uses "\r" (AFAIK, it might have changed with OS X).

A few years ago i was writing a text-based adventure/RPG, did most of the work on linux. Then re-booted to windows and tried it there, at first it worked, but when i converted one of the "raws" (so to speak) to win/dos format i started getting wierd string-match errors. it was because of invisible "\r"s.

There isn't a TextReader class that takes care of all that for you? I mean, even C has magic newline handling if you use the standard functions.

I read that it was supposed to do that automaticly, without any special coding on the programmer's part. It didn't.

But yeah, i'm sure there's a class or something that'll do it for you. StringTokenizer might do it. My problem was partly because i didn't gave internet access at the time (counldn't look stuff up) and partly because i rather enjoyed reinventing the wheel, so to speak. I probably wouldn't have looked it up if i could. Haven't done much programming lately. Besides, I've got my 12-sidedregular polygon, why switch to an actual wheel now? 

Also, i stubbornly made my own hash-table implementation so i wouldn't have to be constantly casting my objects back to strings. *shrug* it was fun, and it worked. I think i may be a fan of programming the hardway... except i still use java. not C or assembler.

It does so automatically UNLESS you open the file for BINARY reading.
The diffrence between "r" and "rb".

At least I think that's it.

I think it would be nice if there was some kind of graphics stockpile and raw folder so you could make new graphics. I've been addicted to playing as Yuan-tis in dwarf fortress (modded race; think elves but not as sissy)

Hi
if you are still developing, drop me a PM.

i am trying something with pydfhack - DF memory reading tool.

[Djohaal]

Epic almost one year necro!

not really a necro when it's still relevant to the post at hand (and not just some "awesome idea!" blurb)

first pass:
- generated one file per every dwarf in running DF
- each file has correct first name and sex of dwarf
- this is rendered by java app.

Hmmm... so wait, does your program also create pictures of the Dwarfs? or were you hoping to merge the two projects?

Either way: I want a Dwarf Portrait Generator!

it was more like a pipe between dwarf portraitist and df, using dfhacks with python module

I stopped doing on that for two reasons:

• python in dfhack is still more like an experiment than full oportunity
• there was near zero request

I can pass source files if anyone wants
