Ah, so improving the current situation? I presume finding those fabled item lists and properties is still beyond us at this point? Any new ideas on how to fix that up?

[strich]

DFHack doesn't currently compile via VS2010 on Windows:

Code: [Select]

1>..\..\..\library\DFProcess-windows.cpp(298): error C2011: '_MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION' : 'struct' type redefinition
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\include\winnt.h(8775) : see declaration of '_MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION'
Seems it is trying to redefine the same struct from WINNT.H. Any ideas?

peterix just started working on it again.

Where did he leave off? What is he working on now?

Offset search automation.

I actually have an idea of how this would work... though, it would be VERY ineffective, inefficient, and would take a while...
Have the program take the entire .exe file, scan it for offsets, and compare what the offsets do to it's own database, and if it finds a match, it updates. I would have 0 clue on how to do this, but I get the feeling cheat engine might be a nice example...

I want to code a simple tool to retrieve the map coordinates, the latitude and longitude of the embark site, the region, as well as the world size. However, I'm trying to code this in AutoHotkey as my C#/++ is incredibly rusty (i.e., basically nonexistent).

Question: What variable type are the following values stored in? (That is: UInt, Int, Int64, Short, UShort, Double, or Float?)

Code: [Select]

region_x :=
region_y :=
region_z :=
world_size_x :=
world_size_y :=
x_count :=
x_count_block :=
y_count :=
y_count_block :=
z_count :=
z_count_block :=

region blocks aren't currently accessible from DFhack, but it's being worked on.

Question: What variable type are the following values stored in?

Int32. Unsigned, I assume.

The offsets for map x/y/z_count are easiest to find while in arena mode, since the size of the arena is fixed at 9x9x9 blocks (09 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 09 00 00 00) 144x144x9 tiles (90 00 00 00 90 00 00 00 09 00 00 00).

Can anyone make the dfcleartask to work? I tried to follow the instructions how to build it, but it just won't work.

Can anyone make the dfcleartask to work? I tried to follow the instructions how to build it, but it just won't work.

Well, if someone else picks it up, then maybe. It's pretty low priority compared with the other work that needs doing I'm afraid.

[Kipi]

Yeah, I believe that. After all, it's only needed if you reclaim fortress.

So, the building works fine, but when I try to run the exe then I get error that dfhack-debug.dll is missing from the computer. So, anyone knows if this problem can be solved by copying some files to certain place?

[strich]

You just need to put that dll in the same folder at the executable. If you did a default build you should be able to find it all under:
.\DFHack\output\Release
or for debug versions:
.\DFHack\output\Debug

[Kipi]

Okay, I moved the dfcleartask to place where my other tools for DF were, now that I tried to run the exe from the \output\debug\ folder, where the .dll file is, I get an error that

"R6010

-abort() has been called"

Any clues? Did I mess something during the usage of CMake or building?

I used MVSC2010 by the way.

Also, I have no \output\release -folder.

Hello!


Just a bit of news:

• Tools-only release should be ready in a day or two. If you feel adventurous, you can build dfhack yourself/grab the xml
• Current work is mostly offset hunting, but I'll spend some time on improving dfhack search tools before I start messing around with some of the more annoying parts. This time I'd like to make offset hunting easy (or at least a lot easier).
• It looks like I caught some bug and my throat hates me. If it gets bad, I could be MIA for a few days.

[Thundercraft]

I do appreciate the effort that goes into DFHack. And it sounds like that the recent concentration on automating the offset hunting process might pay off soon.

But I have to ask: Can we still expect to see more than "preliminary support" for DF 31.18 on Windows eventually? Or, instead, will that effort be skipped in favor of support for 31.19, 31.20, etc...?

[Thoranius]

You have my sympathy peterix, I felt the same when I awoke in the middle of the night last night (I blame the weather change) Couldn't even swallow pills to alleviate the pain/swelling, had to dissolve the little buggers in water and wash em down. Unfortunately, it's such a common occurrence for me anymore that I don't even notice the taste of dissolved excederine or ibuprofens anymore. I hope the offsets grab goes well, I can't seem to maintain a workable fort, even with lots of ponds and rainfal, without the DFliquids tool.

[janglur]

I hope DFHack, or at the very least DFVDIG and DFCLEANMAP are updated for 31.19 soon!
