And I just switched DF Extractor to use XML to not have to deal with maintaining my own .ini parser

A general description of memory layouts would resemble  structs peppered with all kinds of hardcoded data types (stl classes, etc.). Maybe some kind of XML file that describes the memory structures? With a few extra basic types like (1D,2D,3D) arrays and sparse structs it should be doable. There will also have to be either very strict memory management or garbage collection. Not that hard IMHO. Question is if it's pratical to do it this way. In the end, it doesn't really matter if it's XML or C++ code... maybe a set of nice memory r/w access classes would do.

I've got the OS-specific process enumeration and memory offset stuff done. There's functionality for platform-independent memory reading and a model of the DF map for version ~40d with a big part of the extraction stuff already done - basic map structures like in 3dwarf and stone/soil/vein matgloss, which the svn version of khazad already uses.

Next step is to break down the extractor into parts, make it DF version specific (by subclassing... or maybe expanding the DataModel classes) and make the parts writable. Then add more stuff - items, creatures, constructions, ?trees?. I guess you've already got some of those covered and others have the rest

I click the Read Dwarves button and nothing happens. The Connect to DF button isn't even highlighted.

Doesn't work with mods. To be expected, i guess

[chmod]

Doesn't work with mods. To be expected, i guess

which version have you tried? RC2 or RC3?

And have you tried started DT after DF?  Sometimes it won't work for me, but restart DT and everything works.

(This is with either the Civilization Forge mod or Legendary Lands and RC3, so it does work with mods at least sometimes).

I'm getting this rather unhelpful error message:

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

I geuss that indicates a missing DLL or someat. It didn't get as far as creating an logs.

Took a couple minutes to set up, but it was definitely worth it, very nice!

Most common cause of this message is a CRT version dependency. Pretty common issue on non-pro windows versions. Mod might be able to pinpoint this, but it's probably simpler to just install the VC++ redistributable package. Give that a shot and let us know how that works.

Edited - removed VC++2005 link. see mod's link below

Yep it's the redist package for sure. You'll need the VC2008 one here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en

Works fine for me and I use mods.  Its not even anything I would expect anyone to do special case programming for since its homebrew modding instead of one of the well known ones.

I didn't get anything as well with RC2, but it worked fine with RC3. Link is on the OP

P.S. I just noticed I just said the same thing chmod said. Just with more words.  Oh well.

That did it. Thanks a bunch, both of you.

I was really bummed when I discovered that Dwarf Manager didn't work on my version of windows, but this one seemed to work just fine in my brief test.

0.1.6 is now up. And if you have any earlier version it's highly recommended you update. 0.1.5 had a nasty bug preventing labor writing from working entirely. It would show the labor updates in game, but the dwarves wouldn't actually perform the labors. Update ASAP.

[Rowanas]

Any news on the Mac OS X version?

P.S. chmod, you have an INCREDIBLY geeky name, so much respect to you.

Oh good.  Now I don't have to wonder about my (or my dwarves') sanity.  I could have sworn I told them to dig a hole, but they just didn't want to.

Uh no news on the OSX front. Linux will most likely come before OSX, since I don't have a mac or access to one.
