hmm I must have skim that part.
Well still Arena mode still causes a small chance of everybody to go nuts and kill each other.
I wonder if saving into Arena mode would lead to getting the list of creatures back?

Odditys of odditys. I had downloaded dfhack, and it would not work, as I stated above. Then loaded Lazynewb pack, and Hack worked. Vista must be posessed

Whenever I run dfprospector it goes ahead and lists every single unit of everything I have on the embark and the command line runs out of room so I can't scroll up to see what the actual mineral counts are.

Is there any way to have it not show everything?, just minerals. This is my first time using dfprospectoR.
Using Windows7

DFprospector has been working fine until just now, and now it's giving me this:

pread failed: can't read 4 bytes at addres 0
errno: 5
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'DFHack::Error::MemoryAccessDenied'
  what():  Invalid memory access @0x0
Aborted

I'm fairly sure nothing's changed since I last made an attempt at prospecting. DFcleanmap doesn't give this error, but fails to do anything.

Looks like you can run it with the -p option (which is not mentioned in the readme for some reason) to skip all the plants stuff. See also: this post about increasing the console buffer size.

Actually, given the amount of stuff prospector puts out, it might be a good idea to change dfprospector-all.bat to something like

Code: [Select]

echo | dfprospector.exe -a > dfprospector_report.txt
@dfprospector_report.txtThat should automagically pop up the results in notepad (the "echo |" bit is a workaround for the "Press any key to finish." stuff).

not work on windows 7 - exit with fatal error

I've been noticing odd problems as well with dfprospector utterly failing to parse plant information, though the next release (pulled sources from git and made a build from them) should work properly.

dfprospector-all crashes when I try your suggestion and also crashes with the -p suffix
I CAN scroll up when using dfprospector.exe, but the info goes beyond the buffer of the scrolling and even when I tried changing the buffer to an absurdly high number, the scroll length stays teh same.

Ok. Another release, again with more tools. I think it should fix some of the bugs (and hopefully not add new ones).
Mass tree destruction is totally possible with the dfimmolate tool and insta-growing saplings into trees with dfgrow.

Veinlook works on windows now... and I added the dfstatus tool: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=84960.0
Make sure you set up your cmd.exe to use a sensible buffer/window size when using those.
EDIT:
looks like I'll have to make a fix release. The item ownership removal tool doesn't work.

Should work OK now. It was just a missing offset. The tool actually removes the ownership links now, not just marks the items as 'not owned'. The required offset wasn't added to Windows DF versions.

Ah, it's fuс king great.

Thank you, Peterix.

I have this problem with autodump - where the autodumped items become invisible.
They are still there though: if I mass-reclaim their area they are picked up, if I atom-smash them I will get messages for destroyed masterwork items, ecc. - I simply cannot interact with them, they don't show up in the menu when I 'k' over them.

Is this a known problem, or it's just me?

EDIT: saving and reloading makes the items show up again. Mhhh....

Known, not really a problem. I don't mess around with some of the game's data structures. Items are stored globally, and locally for each 16x16 block. I don't move the enties from block to block, so to change the position fully, you need to reload the fort. Apart from not showing up in the menu, it doesn't seem to break anything... so, whatever.

Yeah it's a known issue. The Local Item cache is pretty much in WTF state over the newly moved items.

I tried to auto-dump the clothes and weapons from a hostile goblin. It made a clothing tile image appear at the target point, but when I saved and reloaded, they hadn't been changed. Is dumping from enemy inventories working for other people?

While debugging my Pascal interface for DFHack, I found that the current offset for Materials/creature/tile_color is wrong; it should be 0xf8 for DF 0.31.22+.
