Nah, "there is no kill like overkill" predates DF

I made a quick and dirty 2 high room with a special burrow. It takes time, but lots of people get there. Then I drop water 1 level of 7/7 and make it 1/7 after verifying drowners. Does spawned water still make tiles unavailable? I usually spawn water a z level or two above ground.

Is there any interest/activity in making a Mac version of DF Hack?  I've been primarily playing on my laptop, and would prefer to avoid the hassle of having to copy my fort to my PC just to survey what stones are on my map.

I am a programmer by trade and might be able to make some headway on this, but haven't grabbed the DF Hack sources off of github yet.  I don't necessarily want to start mucking around if someone else has already done the work.

I know there isn't a command for it - but is there some obscure way to detect vampires with DFhack? I'm trying to do a megabuild with superdwarves and hate losing a good laborer to a vampire.

If you don't mind having no vampires anywhere you can Change the vampire types to 0 in adv world gen. Otherwise its the border control with all its nasty locked rooms and burrows to starve people in.

DFHack for Mac is possible, it's just that none of the DFHack developers have Macs. Peterix tried to get a hackintosh going a while back, and it failed spectacularly. As far as I know, all of the attempts to port DFHack to Mac were back before the major rewrite, so I don't think there's been any work done at all on it. Any help to get it working would be very much appreciated!

Ok, perhaps I will check it out in the next week or two if I find myself with some extra time on my hands.  I'm sure I'll be back with plenty of questions when I do.

I was looking for a solution. Then I decided to try wine. Really easy tutorial on wiki. Also works with DFHack.

It works fine, runs without a terminal window, and is just as fast, it looks like. That's what I do now.

I started having problems with StoneSense. Worked fine with only the occasional crash for quite a while. Then, it started crashing as soon as I would change z-level view even one level. In that time I did reveal a significant portion of the caverns but....I'd pretty much maxed out the z-level view after the caverns had been discovered and had no issues.

Just an fyi, one of the branch versions of Therapist has a vampire filter so you can spot them easily.  Seems enough people opposed vamps that they coded in a flag check.

Will DFHack need an updated build for 34.05, or just an updated xml file?

I miss it already

0.34.05's changes were a lot more extensive than 0.34.04's, so I'd imagine it will take a little bit longer this time around.

[Quietust]

One of the major data structures changed slightly (an extra pointer got added to what we call 'world'), so an updated XML won't be enough.

BLARGH!  x.x

I needs me some prospect!  That's the tool I use most.  Lets me ensure a site has all the big things:  Iron, flux, clay, sand, and no aquifers.
