it kinda sorta is, in a way... ish.

[TolyK]

I.e.
It's a DFhack util now, and it *is* included in the LNP.
So have fun.

but it needs to be updated to work with the new map format and support large height worlds.

Thats kind of what i ment.
There are plenty of 16x16x16 chunk mods out there tough, if you can get some to help you a bit...

Nope. Not doing weird third party world formats. With something actually released by Mojang, I can be pretty sure that the code will work some years down the line. Minecraft is pretty good at converting old worlds to new formats Someone making a mod that adds a bigger/taller world format and expecting that to survive? I just don't think that's a good idea from the developer's perspective.

I haven't included this in the current dfhack release, because the new DF maps just don't fit into the limited vertical space current Minecraft worlds provide and honestly, it was a bit too buggy. I mean no disrespect towards the original author, but it's just not the cleanest C++ code under the sun. The code that writes MC worlds needs to be abstracted away into a proper library (or a third party library should be used) and the function mapping DF tiles to MC tiles needs to stop using string processing so heavily.

If I get time, I might try making a bunch of supporting classes for use in such a thing.
But my free time should really go to LNP/Modloader...

It was added in one of the developer snapshots. Worlds are taller now.

Ye, but minecraft indev files cant be converted, btw, a new format has arrived, now twice as high!
(might be enough for more shallow worlds)

EDIT:
And else you could cut off the topmost tiles so you dont spill any valuable space.

[Matthmatt1213]

Can someone please update this? Stonesense is cool, but it's not the same as walking around the fortress yourself.

[TolyK]

It was updated as part of DFhack, I have been gone for a week now and think they're still working on updating it to new DF/MC.

I have to admit, it still needs a lot of work to be useful ~_~

[TolyK]

Well.
At least it's something >.>

[miauw62]

Indeed.

[Dark_Oppressor]

Is this currently being worked on by anyone? Or would it be worth the effort to check out the source?

[Rose]

I don't think anybody's currently doing anything with it.

If you want to mess with it, you need to get the DFhack source first, which will also get you the source for this and the other stuff that uses DFhack.
