The official 0.5.2 release doesn't work with DF 31.04, but it does if I replace the 31.04.ini file with the one supplied by Malicus.

Please post a bug and attach a fort that's not working. Hard to fix problems with descriptions as vague as that.

When I try to use 0.5.2 with 31.04 it says that it can't talk to Dwarf Fortress and I must have unloaded my game even though the game is running in fortress mode. Works just fine with 31.03.

Now it works just fine. Strange. Last night it wasn't working at all. Welp I have no idea what the difference between last night and today is so it is a mystery.

[userjjb]

Yes, I have had similar problems. It seems fussy about when it will connect or not. With 0.51, if I closed DF while DT was still open it would notify me that it lost connection with DF and the grid would go blank. Sometimes now however it will remain open even after I go back to the main menu in DF. Additionally, sometimes it refuses to read even if I have my save opened in DF. USually restarting DF, DT, or both will resolve the issue and it will read correctly, dunno.

I'll keep an eye out and see if I can create a repeatable process.

It seems that when you first start a fortress Dwarf Therapist can't seem to find the dwarfs (the log says something like found 0 dwarfs) and then loses its connection to Dwarf Fortress because it assumes you aren't in fortress mode. Restarting both DF and DT does seem to fix the problem.

Here's the relevant section of the log file:

2010-May-19 19:15:33.529 WARNING   Active Memory Layout "C:/Users/jon/DwarfTherapist-0.5.2/etc/memory_layouts/windows/v0.31.04.ini" ( "v0.31.04" ) contains an invalid creature_vector address.

2010-May-19 19:15:33.529 WARNING   lost connection to DF [src\mainwindow.cpp:273] (lost_df_connection)

I just submitted a bug report but it appears somebody else beat me to it. So I guess my bug report is just confirmation then.

Ok there appear to be two weird problems going on with 0.31.04 and 0.5.2 of DT.

1) there appears to be more than 1 version of 0.31.04 with a PE timestamp of 0x4befdde5 and 1 with a PE timestamp of 0x4bf014fa. Not sure if people are running a native linux version with a wine-version of DT, or maybe Toady has released more than 1 file as 0.31.04? Or my code for calculating PE timestamps is just wrong now.

2) The creature vector address shipped with 0.5.2 is incorrect (very likely). I will do a bit more testing and get back to everyone on this. In the meantime, if you're having trouble with DT thinking you don't have a fort loaded please try 0x016786fc as the creature vector for 0.31.04.

Yes, he did release two 0.31.04 versions for Windows - the SDL one and the 'Legacy' one.

Ahh thanks for clearing that up, Peterix. Looks like its time to map the other one. I'll get on that tonight.

Mine worked fine yesterday, not today. Restarting df and/or dt doesnt work, downloaded again, didn't work
Also tried to vector thing but without success.

I was getting a failed to connect type message when trying to read dwarves on Vista 64, with the most recent releases of DF and DT - until I went in and set both DF and DT to run as administrator.  I no longer get the problem (cannot find BED address? or some such)

I still have other issues, of course, but the ones I still have, I see are already documented on the DT forums.

Short and sweet: if running Vista and DT isn't talking to DF, change them both to run as administrator and see if that helps.

**Edit add**

Well, I wasn't having problems until tonight.  Loaded up a seasonal save with 62 dwarves and a couple hours in after a seasonal save, quit for a while, then returned, and DT wouldn't read dwarves.  After this, I'm wondering if perhaps one of the DF bugs might be causing the problem.  I noticed that I received mandate messages both from my current mayor, and from a prior mayor, and this started after I resumed, when DT would not read.  Strangely enough, when I quit just now, the unit count was 82, not 62...  I have the maximum population in my fortress set to 60 (children and/or babies apparently don't count, just adults)

I have no clue what DT reads though, not being a programmer myself, but it seems that if DF can't keep track of it's population right, DT might have a hard time too.

[Tyshalob]

Dwarf Fortress pretty much ignores the population cap setting most of the time.

For anyone having problems with DwarfTherapist and DF 31.04...

It would appear that running DT as Administrator helps.
I haven't had any issues since I started running it as Admin.

I experienced the same thing, and I am running Vista 64bit Home Premium SP2

For the most part, DT and DF talk to each other now, with them both set to run as admin, but I do have problems now and then.
