Ow cant seem to get the new slate version to work with my df 31.03.. it just says "connecting to DF..." and stays like that.
Is there a help-page for this? (dont feel like going trough 200 pages of this thread)

Just downloaded the 0.31.x compatible version.
As soon as I startup stonesense.exe it crashes. I'm running Windows 7 64bit.

Checked the readme?

@Ivar360 and Randominality: Thanks for reporting the problems. I've been trying it on win7 64bit myself without problems. Have you tried running it in compatibility mode? Have you checked if the programs are running as administrator? And what does the output in the stonesense.log say?
These are things to check at least, they've worked before.

If you have any progress, please let us know so we can compile an FAQ

Mine just pops up and then disappears.  Double click then POOF!

Alkyon, try this version. it is just build over most recent SVN trunk.
works great on win7 64bit with df 31.03


one note. do not forget stonesense is great for adventure mode, too!

I'm running windows Vista 32bit, and running in winxp compatibility mode seems to do the trick! (both df and stonesense)
The .log file kept repeating: No Dwarf Fortress executable found
Exeption:couldn't find a suitable process

Here's the proof:

Still no luck. I bring it up and it instantly closes.  I've tried running in combatability mode and making sure I have DF open.  No error, no nothing, just opening and closing faster than I can see.

Edit: Found the error log.  "Could not init display"

I tried in compatibility mode and as an administrator same result.
stonesense.log says:

Stonesense launched
4096 works.

Forgive my ignorance on this, but doesn't Win7 have an executable memory protection mechanism of some sort?

Yes, it's randomizing the starting address of the first program module. Not very effective.

In general, the application that wants to read from memory of a different application needs to have rights to do it. If you happen to be running them within different 'security contexts', you'll get only fail. Extra system protection utilities can also cause some havoc. It's a good idea to whitelist stonesense if you use something like that.
I have plain Win7 Professional without any extra protection stuff and DFHack-based tools work just fine.

Just trying to present ideas for those who are having problems with Stonesense connecting to DF.

[Alkyon]

Well, that's all that nifty, but how do I get around said memory protection?

I'm running Win7 64-bit Home Premium and it works fine. But I recall that Visual Fortress didn't work for various Home Premium versions of Windows whereas it did for others regardless of generation. Not that I know jack about programming, but could that be remotely relevant?

ed- Wack, this version doesn't seem to be backwards-compatible with 40d D:
