I think my best bet is to figure out where the game clock offset is, then try to find the migrants offset when the game pauses for new migrants. Otherwise it's storing dwarf wave information as a separate file / settings in dwarf therapist (not at all ideal)

Calculated my starting year to 0x06021600. No reference within the creatures-vector.
But found the value at some places:
Found '' (00160206) = 0x0043f94c (uncorrected:0x0043f94c)
Found '' (00160206) = 0x0ae27fff (uncorrected:0x0ae27fff)
Found '' (00160206) = 0x0ae32fff (uncorrected:0x0ae32fff)
Found '' (00160206) = 0x0ae35fff (uncorrected:0x0ae35fff)

Found '' (00160206) = 0x0aec3fff (uncorrected:0x0aec3fff)
Found '' (00160206) = 0x156656f7 (uncorrected:0x156656f7)
Found '' (00160206) = 0x15c46137 (uncorrected:0x15c46137)
Found '' (00160206) = 0x2b8f5aa3 (uncorrected:0x2b8f5aa3)

Looking at the raws it seems like at 0x0ae* are stored historical information according to my fortress and world.

I would say the game does not track the arrival of the dwarf within the structure in the dwarf vector but in aspecial  history-vector. But I didn't find references...

Hmm strange. Any way I could get a copy of the save to take a look at? If not, no worries, I'll start a few games and keep checking the children/babies. Everything is working correctly on my end but there may be other changes that need to be addressed.

I ended up restarting DF and DT this morning, and things started work as they should. So, no worries. Perhaps I failed to restart them after changing the .ini. My bad.

That looks pretty damn useful to me. Even if the information you're looking for is just stored at the end of a seperate string, it does seem to be the last thing in the string, in all cases i've seen it in - surely that's predictable enough to be extracted as usable data? Either way, good work to you, sir.

Edit: Apologies if i am ignorant of context.

Quick bug that I found.

All children are being called Beekeepers.

EDIT:  Just saw that this has been posted.  sorry.

[TerryDactyl]

Did apply quick-fix for professions. Solved some issues.

Reporting bugs in displaying dwarves-by-wave. They're all mix-mashed up in illogical ways.

[Weaselcake]

Being able to Nickname your dwarves through DT is also a bug I believe. I click 'ok' and nothing happens.

[Darmarius]

Guys, please go to the google code project page to post bugs/issues and do a little search to see if your bug has been found first. Much more manageable that way, it takes 10 seconds on your part but saves lots of time for the dev(s). You can also upvote a bug report to give it more visibility and probably fixed faster.

Right now DE is working hard on the migration wave issue, which is the most pressing bug as of now, and until that is fixed probably no other bug will be fixed.
Thanks!

Thanks Darmarius, wasn't aware of this resource.

[ActnMoviHeroBoy]

I'd like to suggest one thing, if we're doing that now. DT currently shows only about half of a dwarf's attributes. I think the ones missing are called Soul Attributes, but I could be wrong. Anyway, these have marginal use normally but I think I could find a use for them. Could the attribute panel be extended to show these other stats?

As always, many thanks to everyone working on this.

Been chasing the string lead for a while now with no luck. The string is loaded on demand, so it doesn't show up until you actually go to the preferences screen. In addition, the timestamp or what-have-you of the arrival time does not appear to be saved in memory - at least not in the format I discovered for dwarves birth dates. Still banging my head on this one. :-/

In the meantime, I find a good way of making sure you know which dwarves are new is to enable the alchemy labour on all dwarves once you are finished setting up their labours. Because the alchemy labour currently does nothing, you can then tell which dwarves arrived with the latest way via the lack of alchemy labour.

It's not a fix, but it helps keep track while the bug is around.

[Darmarius]

My guess would be that the dwarf doesn't store it's "arrival date" itself; instead, it has a vector of pointer to historical events related to him. That's my guess since a dwarf can have lots of historical events associated to him, arrival to X is simply one of them.

It's a wild guess though...

It's the weekend now btw.

Another good way to tell is that all new dwarves come in with Feed Patients and Recover Wounded checked, which, if you use the custom professions, only doctors and nurses tend to have on by default.
