Update:
added the versions.xml file with the addresses needed to work with DF 34.01-34.11

it is now compatible with all modded version of DF (but it will still need a different dfjobs.xml for each mod)

merged with the PaulKEWalker branch to add support for the new "sourceand" tag and the Option menu item that let you define a saved config to load at startup

from the PaulKEWalker branch description:

Code: [Select]

The sourceand element allows us to specify multiple groups of sources that are
required for a particular job. The syntax is:

<sourceand>
  [<source type="type_string" material="material_string"></source>]...
</sourceand>

And it may be used like so in dfjobs.xml:

<dfjob name="Plaster powder" category="Kiln" reaction="MAKE_PLASTER_POWDER">
    <item type="powder_misc" material="PLASTER" />
    <sourceand>
        <source type="boulder" material="GYPSUM" />
        <source type="boulder" material="ALABASTER" />
        <source type="boulder" material="SELENITE" />
        <source type="boulder" material="SATINSPAR" />
    </sourceand>
    <sourceand><source type="bag" material="all" /></sourceand>
</dfjob>

To support the previous <source> behavior without <sourceand>, we create a new
sourceand structure if a <source> element is specified outside of a <sourceand>
element and close a sourceand structure when a new <sourceand> element is
encountered. Thus, this will also work:

<dfjob name="Plaster powder" category="Kiln" reaction="MAKE_PLASTER_POWDER">
    <item type="powder_misc" material="PLASTER" />
    <source type="boulder" material="GYPSUM" />
    <source type="boulder" material="ALABASTER" />
    <source type="boulder" material="SELENITE" />
    <source type="boulder" material="SATINSPAR" />
    <sourceand><source type="bag" material="all" /></sourceand>
</dfjob>

An options menu item was added to the main menu to bring up the associated
options dialog. This dialog currently provides two options: 1) Automatically
load a settings file at application startup and 2) The filename of the settings
file to be automatically loaded at startup.

A new file, options.xml, provides the storage for the listed options and is
automatically loaded at application startup from the application's working
directory.

Out of curiosity, the other day I set it to have at least 10 cabinets and 10 coffers, and it proceeded to pump out dozens upon dozens of cabinets. Also told it to have 5 of something and it made 15 of it. I'm not clear on the amount set and the checkbox afterward that says something like "all except", so maybe it was something to do with my misunderstanding of how this thing works. Any advice?

[Shishimaru]

Isher can you tell me which version of DF are you using (and if you are using any mod)  and which type of cabinets (rock, wooden, etc)?
It should put duplicate jobs on queue only when the job is not well defined in the dfjobs.xml file.

In the configuration screen there is an "Item buffer" text box (set to a default value of 5). If you ask 5 of something and the item buffer is set to 10 it will queue 15 jobs.

The "all except" checkbox says to dwarf foreman to use all source except the target. So if you want to cut all your gems except 5 you can set the  target to 5 and check the checkbox. This works only for jobs which have their source object defined.

I think you just solved my problems. I was hazy on details as this was days ago but I just knew the counts weren't what I had asked for, but didn't properly understand the buffer.

Sorry to bother you, this will be useful to know going forward.

Hello!

Having a problem with DwarfForeman 0.7.5 closing with the error message "Unknown DF version.". I'm trying to use it with a LazyNewb-ed v34.11 Dwarf Fortress. This is the first time I've tried using DwarfForeman and I'm not sure if its something I'm doing/not doing or an actual bug! 

Any ideas on how to remedy this situation? Thanks!

Are you sure you have it pointing to the right exe or folder? Mine is working fine on lazynewbed 34.11 - I have it in the utilities folder and am running it through the pack program.

[iTreefish]

Thanks for the reply! I tried moving DwarfForeman around but no luck yet.

I don't seem to have any file to specify a path to the game folder. Should there be one? I saw mention on the first page of an options.xml but the only xml files I have in DwarfForeman are dfjobs.xml & versions.xml.

Same issue here, i'm just using vanilla DF no mods, but with Ironhand tileset.

XP SP3.

[iTreefish]

Win XP SP3 here as well.
Ascii, Iron, and Phoebus tilesets all have the problem.

It doesn't matter where Dwarf Foreman is installed, it connect himself to the in memory process.

The "Unknown DF version" error seems to point to a problem with the versions.xml file or with the code that reads the checksum from the DF memory, but I can't reproduce the bug (I've tryed with vanilla DF and with the LNP and it works fine for me with both)

Check if in your versions.xml file you have these lines:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

    <dfversion name="0.34.11" checksum="0x4fcc9488">
<address name="itemPointer" value="0x182aa30" />
<address name="inorganicPointer" value="0x186e5b0" />
<address name="organicAllPointer" value="0x186e5d0" />
<address name="creatureTypePointer" value="0x186e690" />
<address name="reactionPointer" value="0x18741c4" />
    </dfversion>

No joy.

Errors: "Allocating Memory Failed" & "Failure finding all vectors "

I have Win7 on this machine also i'll try that later on.

Try to run Dwarf-foreman as administrator.

This new, wonderful version should either have a new thread for it or the OP should update the first post.

I'm always logged on as administrator.

Sometimes under Windows you need to "run as administrator" a program even if you are logged in as administrator.

I know it doesn't make any sense, but it is Windows!
