i cant say anything about your dfhack prob but AFAIK blood/stains dont impact fps, at least they dont seriously affect it. i ran dfcleanmap on a fort of mine that was running at 10-15 fps and it had no noticable effect (and believe me, i had a LOT of blood). flooding everything with magma to destroy the excess of dwarves and objects hanging around however got my fps to 50.

what i'm trying to say is, blood is probably not cutting any fps - if your fps is low, there's something else there killing it.

Well. Basically, a spatter object is a pair of a monochrome bitmap and material. By clearing the bitmap (which dfclearmap does), no creature can pick up materials from the objects, but they are kept around. The game still has to check them for the values of the tiles, and there's no change to the CPU time the checking takes.

Hmm... maybe:

Code: [Select]

For each spatter object, find tile where value_of(bitmap) != 0 and there's no creature or building on the tile
    For each tile where tile != found tile
        Set value_of(bitmap) to 0
        Place 1/7 on found tile
Anyone feel like implementing this? Maybe with a slight modification, where it would try to avoid placing magma on tiles that intersect the whitelisted spatter objects (mud, snow) and single-tile passages? If my guess is right, it could make the game destroy the objects and reclaim a bit of resources that way. Still, the effect could be minimal.

I am having the same problem another guy had in here, when I run dfcleanmap I get "Can't init map." in the consol and nothing else.  This is in windows, hack v. 0.5.0.2, DF v.31.16.

Are you running the SDL DF version? DFHack doesn't have offsets for the legacy versions.

The FPS from all the blood is killing me.

Well, can't help there right now... try magma

It's enough for dfcleanmap, dfvdig, dfprobe, and dfliquids; dfposition is missing a few offsets, and dfprospector crashes. Dfreveal mostly works, but the "pause" offset is wrong so it's probably causing very subtle memory corruption.

[edit]

Found the pause offset, so dfreveal should work properly now.

[edit]

Rechecked all of the materials vectors - turns out a bunch of them were wrong. Unfortunately, dfprospector still crashes, so I can only assume I'm missing something else.

As always, sir, you are a gentleman and scholar.

Given the problem with the pause offset, it's likely best to simply not save after revealing. Presumably that would avoid the issue entirely.

Also, once more, for those who don't know, to apply Quietust's finely-crafted and elegant code:
1. Open a previous version of dfhack's Memory.xml in some editor (notepad works in windows).
2. Search for W I N E, including that specific capitalization and the spaces between the letters.
3. Copy-paste Quietust's code just after the last E in W I N E.
4. Now dfhack will work, at least with some tools.

I get the "Can't find suitable process" error. I am running 0.31.17. It was running previously on 0.31.12. I have dfhack version 0.5.0.2. I am trying to run dfreveal.

Is this a problem with the software not being configured with 0.31.17? Or do you think it's problem with my computer/something I don't have/etc.?

[Rose]

it's a problem with requiring weeks of work by everybody involved to get it working on the new version.

Haha, well shit. Well thanks for letting me know.

[Kearn]

What does it say exactly?

"The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

[Dragonchampion]

Anyone know how to fix dfdig? That's really the only thing I used. MUCH easier than having to keep on selecting blocks in a vein as you see then.

Did you edit your memory.xml to add the section I posted above? If so, make sure you're running the SDL version and not the Legacy version.

[edit] Also, I found the pause offset, so dfreveal should be safe to use. Well, as safe as it was in 0.31.16 - it looks like the "pause" logic is actually writing 4 bytes when the game itself only uses a single byte to store the pause state, so it's actually clearing 3 other unknown flags in the process.

I've heard I need to edit memory.xml, but what am I supposed to do exactly? I'm a bit confused with that...

still does absolutely nothing to get it to work

Worked for me, once I followed the directions exactly, and copied linefeed characters to prevent Notepad from working its corrupting magic.

[Quietust]

Minor bump, I've also narrowed down the materials vectors, but DFProspector still wants something else and is crashing.

note, on the previous page, use the first one not the second memory layout.

the second one being quoted is not as updated as the first one
