Anyone had any luck working out the offsets for .15?

Someone said in another thread (Stonesense? or maybe TheRapist?) that the offsets are the same, but the checksum changed.

Does that make sense? (& help? 'cos I have no idea how to get DFHack or Stonesense going with .15)

I saw that and tried figuring it out myself, and plugged in the MD5 of the new executable into the Memory.xml, and updating the version string to .15, but that apparently wasn't enough.

use the program bundled with DFhack to see if the offsets work (dfdoffsets.exe)

It crashed (all 3 attempts), so I'm guessing the answer is a resounding "NO!!!". :\

And now .16 is out anyway! Arrghh!

I tried popping in the new checksum and MD5, it finds the executable but the offsets have apparently changed as you might imagine. Drats!

I just find this amusing, obviously toady is attempting to thwart hacking with his numerous updates XD i can;t see why he cant bundle a bunch of bug-fixes togethor and release them right as the hacking community recovers from the previous update ^.^

Yeah I'm sitting here reading the forums because I'm waiting for DFHack so I can continue a project I'm working on

Hehe, it does seem like that.. but the fixes in .16 are very welcomed by me. Im sure theres a way Toady could make it easier for programs like DFHack to access DF memory, but to do that might also give away too much. It might be something worth pursuing though.

Please, don't bother Toady with this stuff :<

He said numerous times that he doesn't want to get involved with writing APIs or hacking.

Yeah. Leave the haxx0ring to Pete here What would be the challenge if Toady put in a fancy-pants API?

I'm not sure if it helps anyone here, but Dwarf Therapist works with 31.16.  My theoretical line of thinking is that some of the offsets used there could be helpful for this tool.  If not, then i'll go back to my little corner and maybe get back to work...

There are a lot of things that DFHack messes with that The Rapist doesn't, so it doesn't have all the offsets needed. I think I'll mess with that a bit though and see if I can get any of the tools to work.

I vaguely remember something about the offsets being *slighly* different in format as well, although I could be completely off base.  If it's not working directly, that might be something to look into.
