Thanks!

Yes - it's called the "skeleton plugin", and it can be found in a subdirectory of the plugins source directory.

I love DFHack and all, but my virus scanner found 6 plugins that had trojans in them.. that needs to be fixed.

Memory editing tools have a rather strong tendency to cause false positives in virus scanners.

[Rumrusher]

well was it the old dfhack or new one?

Memory editing tools have a rather strong tendency to cause false positives in virus scanners.

To be perfectly fair, in general, programs shouldn't be messing with eachother's memory.  This is what viruses frequently exploit to do bad things.  Virus scanners look for access patterns like these and report them as viruses. 

On the other hand, the new version of dfhack should be accessing the memory from inside a memory library linked to the process, so as time goes on these false positives might reduce in frequency.  It isn't likely something that can ever go away though, without dwarf fortress explicitly supporting memory editing, and that doesn't seem likely. 

In some sense, dfhack is a memory hack, so your virus scanner is completely correct.  It is going to screw around with some piece of memory that doesn't belong to it.  The virus scanner, however, doesn't realize that this access is non-malicious, and in fact intentional on the part of the user.

In some sense, dfhack is a memory hack, so your virus scanner is completely correct.

In every way, actually.  It's "DFHack" and the "Hack" is not for show.  The purpose of this program is to break open active memory and fiddle with data values.  It's a hacking tool and it acts just like a virus.  In that regard it's always going to throw flags with antivirus, because antivirus isn't smart on intentions.  Your antivirus isn't aware that "this program is working as intended and the user wants this to happen".  All you can do is ignore it or flag it as safe (if your antivirus allows you to do that) because in order to do what it's supposed to do, DFHack will paint itself as a Hack.

But was it the old Dfhack or the new one? Because peterix had fix the issue with false positives by having the program act like a part of DF.
If your having troubles with Neo Dfhack getting flagged then their some problems if we update Neo DFhack.

Will DFHack take a while to be updated or is it easy and should be done shortly?

[Askot Bokbondeler]

i suppose it will be on a plugin by plugin basis. some of them should update quickly, some others might take months, or even be lost to time

[tahujdt]

posting to watch for update to .34

[peterix]

There will be an update when the 'Untouched' list is empty (or at least when the more useful stuff from it is updated/looks fine): https://github.com/peterix/df-structures/blob/master/ToUpdate-v0.34.01.txt

Some of the simpler plugins already work.

[simonthedwarf]
