If this ever gets off the ground, I would love to donate cycles. I'm running a dual-core Intel E8400 clocked to 3.73ghz, with a full 32-bit complement of RAM, so running one(or more!) true community forts would be kind of fun, as long as I don't have to ruin run them myself. :)

For which version of DF is this?
Very last: 40d13

as for tools L.Spiro memory hacking software.

The program is progressing well. Gui salvaged from other roguelike project. Internet code  (will be salvaged)  from yet another... Now I'm a bit stuck with colors... Any one knows how its saved?

I'll check it out when I boot into windows... looks cool, just not cross-platform ~_~

Probably indexes into color array. There's just 16 colors AFAIK. You can combine primary and secondary. I saw some description of how DF combines them with the tiles but can't remember where. Probably the 'future of the fort' thread?

Ok found teh bug!

The last byte is for foreground lightness. Now you get an identical view in client app. Going for internet!

Oh one remaining bug from Gui is scanlines but for now I have no ideas how to prevent them.

Act as a debugger, add a break point to DF main loop, read the screen buffer on break, continue. That should do it.

Rejoice my fellow DF'ers, doom and despair has come to your world:

Finally a "working" version is finished. Don't forget to open ports if you will try to use it in the internet.

Probably indexes into color array. There's just 16 colors AFAIK.

While most of the game uses the standard 16 colors used in terminals (white, black, and light and dark red, yellow, blue, green, magenta, cyan and grey), some items use special colors (defined in descriptor_color_standard.txt) which SEEM to be defined in terms of one byte each for red, green and blue. Chances are pretty good that somewhere along the pipeline this is converted into a closest-approximation one-or-two byte representation (maybe the "foreground lightness" byte is used to scale a one-byte value? Hard to say.)

*Seeing the previous post by darius*

Well it looks like you might have worked it out in any case; downloading now!

Any instructions? I'll fumble around it for a bit until I find a way to work it, but I must admit I'm stuck.

Edit: Seems to have failed on my Windows XP Home 32-bit, I can give more information as neccesary but the following occurs:

sorry about that. Kind of crashed than then finished  ::) . Although tried to make it as self-explanatory as possible but will try to write something up.

very interesting... Does it happen to anyone else? Is your version of DF 40d13?

P.S. tried writing some sort of program page: http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/User:Warmist

Windows 7 here, I too am getting Urist's technicolor vomit.
The symbols seem to be consistent between the server and the client, but the background and foreground colors are different. Also, the vomit doesn't seem to respond to moving the camera, it seems completely static.

Can you try running server with administrator rights? It could be that Windows 7 doesn't allow memory hacking for plain users.

Running as administrator doesn't fix it, and neither does windows XP compatibility mode.
