That's right

Suddenly I can imagine the birth of Dwarfenstein...

it'd doable, actually. but none of the active devs are interested in that particular feature.

note: I'm the only active dev, more or less

Is that the planned goal of any of these visualizers? At least eventually? I know the graphical side of DF will improve eventually in someway, but it would be cool if Toady One could separate the graphics and interface code from the main game, allowing community developers to help create their own visualizers and interfaces-like plugins of a sort. It would probably help open the game up to a lot more people if that were so.

Trust me, I've suggested that and even converting DF into a client/server model (same thing basically, but you could have a client on your laptop and play DF that was running on your "server" or Game PC) and I've even suggested taking it further and making modules that connect to a "world server"(AKA, DF Server) that could be used as a "cheat" to enable multi-processing by firing off client apps that control AI and the OS could thread them off.  You could even trigger off multiple clients with separate forts.

All kinds of suggestions have been brought up, shot down, and there are those of us that have pretty much given up making suggestions.

Stonesense crashes, then locks up DF when I save

Usually I remember to close it before saving, but not always :F

Run dfunstuck.exe ... it's a workaround, but good enough until problems like this one are resolved.

Oh well, we can always dream I guess... :p

[Lord Nightmare]

currently, nothing using Cmake builds, the only thing that works is the included MSVC project file

Any chance of looking into this? I can't build stonesense on linux with an msvc project file...

yeah, I'll look into it aventually.

at the moment, I don't have a whole lot of time, but I'll see what I can do

It also likes to do this when going to the map travel (and possibly the quest?) screen in adventure mode, which can be really annoying in some situations due to frequency. .

I have this problem as well, and dfunstuck tells me it can't run due to a missing library.

I had that problem too but forgot to mention it. The dfhack library that it uses isn't packaged with the main distributions of stonesense. You can get it from somewhere on their code repo (i think I just googled the filename), or pick up the DFHack kit which includes dfunstuck in it's utils.

Been reading through the thread but haven't been able to find a solution to my problem. I am running the latest build of Stonesence, and DF version 31_08. Used the SDL version of DF and both with and without tileset

When i launch Stonesence i get the message "Connecting to DF, i am running both Stonesence and DF in administrator mode

I tried changing the rendering, that has no effect.

put log on to verbose, got this

Stonesense launched
Using allegro version 4.9.20 r0
4096 works.
New image: objects.png

eventually it crashes.
any pointers on how to get stonesence to work are appreciated. I fear i will be missing something obvious

You need the updated .xml file. Get it here : http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2562.

[Bethor]

thanks a lot

[falcon256]

Can anyone point me in the right direction for creating new memory.xml files for new versions? I was hoping to get this working with 0.31.10.

oh.. and Hiyas Bethor!

[shibdib]

need an updated mem for .10, I gave it a whirl and updated the vectors i could find, but apparently im missing something
