i'm on .17c and 40d16 using mike mayday, and i try to use the revealVeins.exe and the py script, and it just doesn't work. None of the scripts do. And designations doesn't give out what the wiki article says it should, am I missing something? DC opens, and i can see stuff, and the different menus come up, but i cant actually change anything

Just released .17d, should fix your revealvein problem, but I don't garantee anything about the designator. Dtil is much better suited for these tasks.

I thought Dtil only worked on 40d, though... certainly when I tried it, it got nowhere in its attempt to scan memory.

One may also try dfhack for some tasks, but it does not, unfortunately, have a vein-reveal tool - just the whole thing. (I'd hoped its "prospector" tool would fulfill that function, and making it do so might not be unduly difficult for someone who knows how to code it, but I am not that someone.)

Forgive me if this has been brought up, but I'm getting an error when I try to run DC:

Code: [Select]

C:\Games\DwarfFortress\DFCompanion>dfcompanion_prototype.exe
Timestamp = 0x48c330df
C:\Games\DwarfFortress\DFCompanion\library.zip\dwarfdbg.py:89: DeprecationWarning: raising a string exception is deprecated

  File "dwarfdbg.pyc", line 89, in configoffsets

...Anyone know what's wrong? I tried it with both the standalone and the Python full-install version, and got the same error both times. I'm using the version posted on the wiki as of this posting. I tried running DC without the game running and got the expected 'can't find DF' error, so it has something to do with DF itself...

All I want to do is mess around with my dwarf's mood (change mood type, edit mats list), so if there's an alternate way to do that, I can just try that.

EDIT: I just tried using version 0.16 (the standalone) and it worked for me. Huzzah! Consider this a bug report...

If you're playing with 40d, then yes, you need to use 0.16, not 0.17*. That's not so much a bug as it is a system requirement.

DF is locked up and I've had to kill it with SIGKILL.  Are we supposed to use dflinux.py?

Have nearly identical error; tried to use dflinux.py, but it doesn't seem to work. Also, it throws a deprecation warning, saying that sha is deprecated in favor of hashlib.

Linux is not supported right now ...

Just a minor bug thing that I don't recall being mentioned before.

Dwarf Companion is unable to find Dwarf Fortress(tested with DF d16) under Vista when Dwarf Fortress is being run as an administrator.

It just comes up with the DF is not running or can't be found message if you try.  Not a significant thing, of course, running it normally works fine, but it may be another thing to check if somebody can't get it working under vista with the right versions.

It should work if you run both games with the same priviledges. Does it ?

[Greiger]

I can't seem to find any way to run a .py as an administrator (despite being on the administrator account) and after changing all permissions manually to be identical to the administrator it still cannot find the process.

If you know some trick to doing the run as administrator on a .py I'll do it, but I can't seem to find a way.  

Give me til summer though and I'll have passed my A+ Operating Systems class, I'm sure I would be able to figure it out then.

Run an elevated command prompt and all commands you run from there should be elevated.

I have been trying to remove a Strange Mood from one of my Armorer (I accidently forbidden all the Forges after he mooded, and now won't take possession of any of them). But even if I remove the "Strange mood" tag (and clear the "strange mood" submenu), he still won`t do anything else than stand around with "strange mood" task initiated.

Yes you also would have to remove its current occupation. However, it is likely this will glitch ..

Yep that did the trick, dfcompanion_prototype.py can find it if it's also under admin rights.  And I guess it isn't a bug probably more a vista limitation then.

Did I say you are awesome for creating this little tool and that we love you for putting up with us insignificant little uninformed masses?

...not in a gay way though.
