True, up until recently it's been a job requirement to keep it on.  However, no longer working with them so...

...Working on Windows Vista 32 bit.  UAC is turned on...

This ismore along the lines of general advice than compiling advice: TURN UAC OFF.

Would you also recommend that Linux users login as root to perform everyday tasks?

Nah, that's what they made sudo for.

dfcleanmap keeps giving me the error message "Can't init map." can anyone help me out here? I'm sure its a simple fix that I am overlooking.

[Uristisdying]

Ahoy!

I used dfreveal to design my fortress before unpausing the game for the first time. After spending three hours designating my future fortress, I saved the game in order not to lose everything in case of random computer disasters. OF COURSE in my tremendous stupidity I forgot to unreveal beforehand, and now am stuck with a completely revealed map. I tried to run dfreveal again, but the map won't change anymore, every tile remains visible.

Is there anything I can do in order to hide all revealed map features again? Puhleeeze help!

Is there anything I can do in order to hide all revealed map features again?

Tweak + updated XML files for 0.31.xx + For Each Tile

Code: (Condition) [Select]

is_subterranean

Code: (Operations) [Select]

hide;

Would it be relatively trivial to comment out the actual revealing portions of DFreveal and just use the pausing function through MSVC10?  I'd like a straight DF pause toggle switch for various reasons, and in some of them keyboard input won't cut it compared to writing to the memory space directly.

[Makbeth]

Tweak will only work for 40d.  Might be possible to mod dfliquids to do it, or perhaps even mod an unreveal feature into dfreveal.  Have there been screams?

Running cleartask 0.5.0.2 on DF 31.16
"missing offset for the item vector, exiting :("

[Quietust]

Give me 5 minutes and I'll find it.

[edit] Best I can tell, the items vector is at 0x16580d8, but dfcleartask.exe doesn't seem to like it. It might need a recompile.

[Quietust]

Okay, here's how to fix it:

In memory.xml:

Code: [Select]

            <Group name="Items">
                <Address name="items_vector" value="0x16580d8" />
            </Group>

In cleartask.cpp

Code: [Select]

replace

p->getDescriptor()->getAddress ("items_vector");

with

p->getDescriptor()->getGroup("Items")->getAddress ("items_vector");

Works great thanks =)

Does anybody know why some stones still won't get dumped and still prevent/suspend buildings AFTER running cleartasks?

Does anybody know why some stones still won't get dumped and still prevent/suspend buildings AFTER running cleartasks?

My guess is they were designated to be used in a building, and cleartask doesn't clear those properties, at least I've had issues like that before where I have to deconstruct the buildings in progress and redesignate them to be built.

[Quietust]

The only thing cleartask does is clear the "tasked" flag on the item, which is what prevents it from being used by anything else. Note that you should only run cleartask immediately after a reclaim - running it on an active fortress is sure to mess things up.
