Do I need some python libraries installed?
As I try to import mod it just drops a fatal error on me:

Exception: No [OBJECT:<type>] tag found....(bla bla bla)

file "dfmm.py",line 508. in process
file "decode.py". line 54, in decode_directory
file "decode.py", line 16 in decode_file

So, am I missing something? Why doesn't It see my raw files?

[Putnam]

The (bla bla bla) part you omitted is literally the most important part and the source of your problem >_>

[Rip0k]

ups... thought it was irrelevant hehe... anyways problem was that I was pointing it to wrong folder. DF main instead of raw/objects. Well next time I'll try to read instructions more closely and multiple times before posting another stupid questions

This tool looks very useful. I will test it out soon. Thanks Valdemar

[Valdemar]

Hey everyone!

It looks like the source of the problems with the most recent DF version is DFMM's attempt to remove the raw/objects/text folder when clearing the directory in preparation for mod installation. I've patched it to simply ignore all subdirectories. This means it should install properly now, though none of the DFMM features will work on changes to the text folder.

Unfortunately my development environment has totally changed since the last release so long ago, and I no longer have easy access to a Windows computer. I've put up a new source package that should hopefully work properly, but it'll probably be a few days until I can compile an exe of 0.7.1.

Please let me know if there's any other issues with the latest DF version.

With 0.7.1 on DF 0.34.05 I get the following fatal error when selecting the option to import from a directory.

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'DD_DIR_MUST_EXIST'

File "~DF folder~\pindia-dfmm-fb2afe1\dfmm.py",
line 497, in import_files
  dialog = wx.DirDialog(self, 'Select directory',
style=wx.DD_DIR_MUST_EXIST)

Then the whole program closes.  Selecting the option to open either a .dfmod or .dfmod zip brings up an ordinary file select menu, though.

Try updating wxpython

[Paramatter]

Installed the latest stable build of wxpyhton for 64 bit Python 2.7 and...  Still getting the same error.  It might be relevant to point out that I have Python 2.5 and 2.7 both installed on this PC...

If only I had known about this tool sometime earlier,
my own modding experiments would have been less tedious!

Fairly major bug or problem. When using Compiled EXE [0.7] and Dwarf Fortress 0.34.07 attempting to install a mod deletes most of my raws.

[Putnam]

Literally 5 posts above you said that 0.7 compiled doesn't work for 34.01 and later >_>

[smirk]

I do hope you decide to update this tool, Valdemar. I miss it so much O_0

[Putnam]

It is updated, you can get it herer.

You could actually use dfmm 0.7 with df 0.34.xx, you just had to remove the sub-directories from the raw folder.

Love this utility, and just started up DF2012 after a several month hiatus, and fumbled through, figuring out that deleting the texts folder while installing mods, then putting it back afterwards works.  Can anyone explain it to me like I'm five how I can use the "updated source" .zip file above to update my old dffm I've been using?

[Putnam]

I know this is a massive necro, but this gets my gigantic approval, especially for mixmods. Seriously, if you want to put mods together, this is what you want to do it with.
