Hm, then it sounds you might need peterix or somebody who had it do that before to figure out exactly what is going on I'm afraid.  Sorry I didn't help much.  At the very least that might help others narrow down the issue.

EDIT: Just tried a little bit of troubleshooting on my own and it doesn't seem to be anything simple like a mismatched version because when I tried to run reveal with DF not running it stated that it can't find the suitable process and even paused the output by itself.  I can't seem to get it to do anything like the no output at all yer getting even when I'm trying.

[Cephas]

Yeah. I know it's on my side, and I faintly remember having this problem before. However, I am not sure how it was resolved in the past. I've tried playing with administrator settings and whatnot, but nothing is making a difference.

Windows has a really weird security setup... try putting dfhack into a different folder. I have everything in a share provided by VirtualBox and things seem to work.

Still, you should be getting some kind of error if the tools can't see DF. Maybe check the windows event logs? Run eventvwr.msc and look around.

[HammerDave]

Running any of the .exe files directly can make the window disappear before it has a chance to show anything.

Try opening a command window (the black box icon with a C:| in it), change directory to your dfhack directory "cd c:\whatever" and type the name of the command.  Doing it this way the window will not close instantly, and you'll be able to see whatever error messages it might be leaving.

Your antivirus might think one or more dfhack programs is a malicious program.  It does, after all, read and write another process's memory.  Mine quarantined it a couple of times and I had to restore the files.

Oh I feel your pain.  Every new version of dfhack released changes it's files ever so slightly, therefore is recognized as a different program, therefore gets erased by Norton Antivirus as a "hack tool" that has like 5 users.  I usually just restore them the consider removing Norton's stupid self, but honestly... shouldn't there be a way to tell Norton "No, it's okay, I know it's safe"?

[Rose]

There is a way, actually, it's called uninstalling Norton.

[Cephas]

Yeah. Wow.

So, the situation is as follows. The College network forces us to install certain security programs to keep their network from exploding and such. I found it annoying, and removed the functionality of the entire thing while still allowing the network to believe I had it.

Turns out, It got the better of me, and hid itself. However, as it's essentially gone, it couldn't complain about anything and simply smacked the processes down.

I've got that under control now, thanks for the suggestion to check anti-virus crap.

[Makbeth]

It hid itself?  What, like a rootkit?

I hope that's not the case.

Peterix thank you. Now i can play .23 with full force. ;-)

Till this moment there were only soil-layer fortress for 10 years. ;-)

dang toady just came out with .24
best wait for .38 comes out before updating.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Ehh, the bugfixes aren't relevant enough to my fort to justify switching immediately. I can wait for DFHack.

.24 doesn't improve anything in gameplay, so i'm staying on .23

[peterix]

And 31.24 support is up. Nothing changed at all, but I updated the readme

Also, the Ubuntu downloads were broken and nobody told me. Github uses a flash uploader thing and doing more than one upload at the same time doesn't work it seems... This time I made sure they work.

I'm going to find the linux offsets for this one (the 31.22 - 31.24 range). Should be available within a few days.

Ok, I'll wait a bit instead. Toady seems to be in some kind of rapid-fire release mode

[Shandra]

And 31.24 support is up. Nothing changed at all, but I updated the readme

Thanks nevertheless!

[Krelos]

Looks like he may be done with the rapid releases for now.... Maybe.
