That's right

That is right

Yes, while it may look like it's frozen/nothing is happening after pressing F9, it's just taking ages to render (and uses every CPU cycle it can grab). I found out when I had to answer the phone.

After 5 minutes or so, I got a single image of the layer the cursor was on, but doing anything ( up a z-level for example) freezes it again.

DF isn't getting any simpler, but I'm curious about what changed it so much. I remember using SS with 40d on the same computer and it ran realtime easily.

I'm still using .31.16 for now, since I'm halfway through a succession.

try changing the renderer from directx to opengl in the init.txt.

also, ensure you have some kind of videocard.

hello im new to DF and i decide to dl this visualiser to help me play the game. and im quite confused how do you get Stonesense to work? i generated the world and my fortress, then what? where to i put the stonesense and when i open it , it just gets stuck on connection to df , any help ?

[Rose]

stonesense only works with the previous version of DF. you have to chose between using stonesense, and getting ripped to shreds every night.

[Rose]

what does the log say?

[Stormxlr]

what does the log say?

if you are talking about Stonesense log

Stonesense launched
Using allegro version 4.9.21 r1
No Dwarf Fortress executable found
DFhack exeption: couldn't find a suitable process
No Dwarf Fortress executable found
DFhack exeption: couldn't find a suitable process
No Dwarf Fortress executable found

but DF.exe is in the same folder as Stonesense exe

It was originally set to "ANY", so I changed it to DIRECTX, which was the same, then to OPENGL, which has fixed it.

It's interesting because it's running on what used to be a good gaming PC (card was touted as fully DX9 compatible).

Anyway, thanks.

Edit: It now crashed taking the large screenshot . Log says I should try the software renderer. Try again with that then...

they don't need to be in the same folder.

try running both in administrator mode.

Nope no luck, still stuck on connecting to DF

[Andir]

Yay... another troubleshooting stream...
 
What OS?  32-bit?  64-bit?

Did you read the other posts on connecting?

[Bellerophon]

Is there a reason why the results of the plating technique to prettify my fort and get rid of the colours of those veins don't show up in stonesense? And any way I can make it do so?

[Rose]

are those floor constructed, or smoothed?

if they are constructed, could you send over the save file? thanks.
