I think I've got it working, it's just a matter of spawning somewhere playable. Thanks for the help!

[Rose]

I find it immensely helpful to use a third party utility to convert the save to creative mode after miecraft converts things for you.

[DS]

I had actually just looked into that. However, I'm running into a more serious problem - since my map is very tall, the part of the save which is converted to Minecraft isn't really optimal. Is there any way to change the ranges of z-levels which are converted?

[Rose]

yes, there is.

in your dwarf fortress folder, there's a folder called hack (I think) and a file called df2mc.xml.

open that, and there will be instructions.

[DS]

Superb! Thanks a lot for the help, as well as the utility. It's brilliant.

Hi all! I found this plugin and it was love at first sight. I couldn't convert my fort because of mods >_> however I did convert
dun dun dun drumroll please!

FlareChannel!

WOO PARTY!!!

or I would say that if it didnt hit bedrock and cut off the garden part of it. Is there any way to mess with the plugin to fix this? I would love it if it were possible to put all of flare channel in with all of its glory, I would seriously fix it up.

Well all is fine and dandy and I know all of you want screenies, so without further ado!

Well that last pic is of the sad travesty of justice.... bedrock. Anyone have any good ideas where I can have this fortress up as a whole?

[Rose]

There's a settings file that sets how much will be exported.

[MoonSheep]

awesome!

I opened it and it was gibberish to me @_@

I guess i edit this veriable?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 <!--<horizontalarea xmin="0" xmax="10" ymin="5" ymax="15" />-->
   <horizontalarea xmin="0" xmax="30" ymin="0" ymax="30" />-->
    <verticalarea type="smart" levels="42" toplevel="155" airtokeep="3">
      valid types:
         none - for all of level - 'indev' output only - falls back to top for 'alpha' output
         top - uses the top 'levels' levels keeping only 'airtokeep' levels of air
         range - outputs 'levels' levels, starting at 'toplevel' and going down.  Unfortunately, toplevel doesn't really have a relation to the levels shown in DF due to variable hell location (usually at a negative level in DF).
         smart - for smart dropping of levels, keeps 'airtokeep' levels of air and outputs 'levels' levels from 'interesting' levels in the area (levels that have floor, tall staircases are collapsed) starting at the top (highest ground level) and going down.
      For all output in alpha, you are limited to 127 minecraft layers, or 127/squaresize Dwarf Fortress levels (42 for the default 3x3x3)
    </verticalarea>

any idea which part I have to edit of that text and how much i should edit it?

[Rose]

Read the text. follow the instructions. I can't say it clearer than what it says there.

Dear lord, after seeing how it outputs up/down stairs

I can see why my dwarfs always get lost.

[MoonSheep]

so what Im getting is that there is no way to choose which output level for this program to start producing on?

It seems to be rendering alot of the uneeded mountain and cutting off the fort at the bottom. I removed all of the air-to-keep blocks and it seems the toplevel variable doesn't do anything? Changing the levels variable doesn't do anything also it seems. Anyone been having any luck with this?

[Rose]

You need to also change the type from smart to one of the others, like range.

Is it possible for you to compile both msvcp100.dll and msvcr100.dll into the executable? I found a tutorial here . http://www.rhyous.com/2010/09/16/avoiding-the-msvcr100-dll-or-msvcr100d-dll/

This would make much easier for some people.

Did you try the recompiled version in the dfhack thread?

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=91166.0

It's been updated to the latest version of DF.

[miauw62]

Is this still beining worked on?
Its too bad that:
1. indev has fallen. R.I.P.
2. A new map format is used now.

Damn, i want this soo bad.
