Reading/writing into memory from DF
« on: May 17, 2010, 08:23:05 am »
Hi, I'm wondering how Dwarf Therapist is interacting with Dwarf fortress. Is this a UDP or TCP connection? IS there documentation somewhere on how to connect to DF, and how to interact with a working instance? Since DTherapist does it, I hope that this exists somewhere.

I've got an idea on automating some of the production management that I'd like to try.

Thanks.

Nothing screams "Christmas" quite like a new release of DF.

Direct memory manipulation. There is no connectivity for DF.  It may be in the long-term goals, but I wouldn't expect anything anytime Soon(tm).

DT uses its own system, but there is also a library written for just this purpose called dfhack.  The memory mapping hasn't been updated for .31.04 yet, but it's usable on .03 and below.
