Thanks for the info, but it was a no go.  Here's the entire text of the error for those tech geeks out there:

Ok, so after the whole successful connection info, it reads:

Windows Error #127: [Screen #0] chooseMatchingPixelFormat() - wglChoosePixelFormatARB extension not found, trying CDI. Reason: The specified procedure could not be found.

Rendering in software: pixelFormatIndex 1
Terminate called after throwing an instance of 'DFHack::Error::MemoryAccessDenied'

what(): SHM ACCESS DENIED

Then it terminates in an 'unusual way' and freezes DF. woot.

Overseer is having trouble connecting to DF's memory; Windows is likely blocking it, thinking it is a virus.  Try checking "Run as Administrator" in Overseer's properties, and disabling UAC (User Access Control).  This will, however, make your computer more vulnerable to any real viruses.

I have been struggling with the same error as some other NVIDIA card users posted earlier and noticed I am on directX11 (win7).  Does that matter at all?  All I see mentioned here is directX9 (not "directX9 and above," for instance).
-Thanks!

NEW DEVELOPMENT:  I tried it without any external monitors attached and it worked like a charm!

Whoa, that's crazy. I wonder what's causing that? I'll definitely need to look into that one.

For those with memory access problems, all of that is about to go away very soon; peterix is moving DFHack into DF itself, instead of trying to connect externally, and all tools will be launched from within.

Is there a way to regain the obj export function? It seem missing in the new version and the old 0.27 doesn't work with 31.25.
Thanks in advance and for overseer in general

how do i get this to work? i downloaded it, but when i ran ogreseer it told me that it couldn't find certain files, so i should reinstall it. i did, and it still gave me the same error. then i checked the readme and it told me to download DirectX, so i did, and it still doesn't work.

It tells me that df isn't running when it actually is.

Yes, it'll be back in the next couple of versions for sure.

Have both of you downloaded and installed the Memory.xml from 31.25 as described in the first post? That sounds like the problem.

Sorry for the silence, guys, things have been busy here at work. Yesterday was the second 27-hours-straight "day" of work in the past few weeks.

[TomTheDwarf]

that's ok, i didn't check back till today. but it still gives me the error "this application has failed to start because d3dx9_42.dll was not found." it also tells me to re-install the application, but i have already done that. i also checked the readme, which told me to install directx, which i have. (or atleast i think i did. i dowloaded it, deleted the outdated files or ones for 64 bit systems, but i don't know what to do with them after that).

[thewonderidiot]

Missing DirectX is definitely your problem. Just download the installer linked in the readme and let it do its thing... don't manually remove anything, there's no need to. Windows can figure out what to use.

[TomTheDwarf]

ok, deleted everything and re-downloaded. still doesn't work. do i have to put the files in a specific place? right now it is in it's own file, DirectX.

[Mormota]

I just extracted on desktop, launched DF, entered my fort, then launched Ogreseer.exe. Got this:

Compiler erro: invalid parameters in SkyX.material<109>: param_named and param_indexed properties requiers at least 3 arguments
Finished parsing scripts for resource group SkyX

Then it would continue, but the next line is

ERROR - Could not connect to Dwarf Fortress!

I get an error message too, and it's asking me if I'm sure I have DF running. I do. I'm using XP.

[Graebeard]

Did you update memory.xml?

[Mormota]

Oh silly me, I didn't. It works fine now. xD

[person012345]

Did you update memory.xml?

Noob question, how do I do that? Copy-paste the text from the linked page into memory.xml? Because when I do that I get similar to the quoted at the top of the page, except without any error messages. Overseer just crashes and freezes up DF.

I ran as administrator, although I can't turn of UAC without restarting my computer so I will go try that now.

Sorry if this is a necro (not sure what the rules on those are here).

Edit: Nope, same thing.

You can just rename the old memory.xml (or delete it, but renaming it makes sure you have it as a backup) and then copy-paste the new memory.xml into your stonesense folder.
