I got it running fine except for one little issue...

It starts fine and follows my cursor nicely for a while but frequently will show just a blue screen (in the stonesense window) and while CTRL and arrows restore the image, I cant get it to resume following and updating.
Pressing F or CTRL F just does a update and toggles the message following DF window.

Is there a way to get the program to resume following and updating ?
(Updating, as in you see the dwarfs run about doing thier work )

I also noticed pressing + on the numeric pad twice will cause Stonesense to stop working and crash... every time, the first time you press it changes updates to 0.1 ... second time and you get a message from Windows.
(on Win 7 64bit Home Prem ed.)

Love the program, keep up the great work.

I get that every now and then... only solution I can suggest is restarting stonesense. I think it's losing the DF process somehow(not a programmer! wild guess!) and is just showing what it had last read when you use "CTRL and arrows".

Stonesense is crashing for me with opengl enabled - runs with it off though.

I'm running Win 7 and have an ATI Radeon 4850 - the crash report mentions the ATI opengl driver, so I'm probably out of luck.

Anyone else having similar problems?

Is it the right version? You need 4.9.19 AFAIK.

[aldantefax]

Hello! I have never actually tried using stonesense before, but I figure I would give it a whirl now that a version is out for the 2010 version of DF.

I experience some drastic slowdown, however, when I hook Stonesense into DF 31.03. I am running Win7 64-bit with an ATI 4800. Presently, if DF is running by itself on a fresh install, it runs excellent. As soon as Stonesense hooks in, there is visual hiccuping and input lag inside of DF. Fiddling with Partial Print in DF init.txt, as well as all combinations of USE_OPENGL and CACHE_IMAGES doesn't seem to do anything.

Any information pointing me in the right direction would be swell - otherwise, keep up the good work!

do you have df accelerator?

[aldantefax]

Not in the fresh build of DF 31.03 - I specifically created a brand new install of DF without addons to see if it would do the same thing (which, it did).

I'm running Win7 64 bit, but with an 8800GT, no problems. Maybe it's you graphic card?

Yep, pacman -Qs allegro5 turns out version 4.9.19

[Cheshire Cat]

much the same as the gentlemen on the previous page, and the same as the version of stonesense that was released for 2010 before the initial release, i cant get it going. verbose log in the spoilers

with opengl set to on it just crashes on start, regardless of DF running or not. with opengl off, i get this

then it crashes with the message "cannot load image: buildings\include\...\workshops.png". dwarf fortress will also crash, trying to maniuplate it causes windows to pop up the message that df is no longer responding and needs to be closed.

the old version of stonesense did work ok on this computer.

im running an older windows xp machine with a p4 2.6ghz and onboard graphics card that dxdiag lists as "intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller" with 96mb of memory.

[Spillbert]

I'm also receiving a similar error but mine is stonesense cannot find a suitable process

[jonask84]

We are trying to analyze these problems, but most seem to stem from the graphics cards.

@Cheshire Cat: If DF locks up, at any point, use the dfunstuck.exe utility to save it. We know there are some instabilities for some users, and have included this tool for that very reason. It's all in the readme

[Rose]

Cheshire cat: Your graphics card does not have enough memory to load all of the tiles included in stonesense, so you will need to disable some of them to get it to run.

there's a file in the stonesense root called index.txt that tells stonesense what content files to load. try adding a '#' to the beginning of the line referring to buildings/index.txt, to stop it from loading the building images. (they take the most memory, since there's a lot of them) this will replace all the buildings with yellow blocks, but should increase the chances of stonesense working. if that doesn't work, disable some more lines, like the vegetation, or creatures.

[Marconius]

I have a simple problem. The text in Stonesense doesn't seem to show up properly, half the letters are missing.

This issue is present both for the opening screen and in the actual isometric view, for creature names.

My Regional settings were set to Japanese. I set them to Hungarian (which is a fairly basic latin-letter using setting) as a test, but the problem remained.

I also tried changing the font type used, using a file I found elsewhere on my computer. The font changed properly, but the problem remained.

Any idea as to what may be wrong?
