well I have a question that I hope it will be resolved. One day I was using DFhack's reveal command to find if there were any useful ores underground but I didn't find any. So I carried on with building my fortress but I forgot to turn off the reveal command and so saved and exited with the reveal command still ON. The next time I went into that world I saw that everything was still revealed and so I went into the DFhack console and typed unreveal but it said 'nothing to revert to!' so then I tried revealing again then unrevealing but nothing happened. So now that world seems to be permanently revealed and its really annoying so can anybody help me on how to fix this problem?

I am using Windows 7

use revforget

And furthermore, there's an edit button you can use if you accidentally post twice. You can't delete the second post, but you can put your apologies there instead of making a third post

[robertheinrich]

Actually, revflood is what you need (revforget is for another case where you unreveal map A then exit and load a different map B and reveal/unreveal complains about the map being different). If you load a map which you accidentally saved in revealed state, move the cursor to a 'good' position like your fortress gate and use 'revflood'. It will hide everything then unhide everything which can be reached from the cursor position using a flood fill.

What's with this error? I'm trying to compile from git.

Update your submodules.

[notfood]

Yeah, that did it. Thanks.

So the correct procedure is to update is...

Code: [Select]

git submodule update
git pull
cd build
make
make install

Pretty much, yes. It's not entirely out of the question to bring it back, but it would have to do different things than before.

dfhack remembers the squares that were already visible before revealing, when you use reveal. then when you use unreveal, it looks at the squares it memorized, and hides them all. when you exited df, dfhack was closed, and the data that memorized which squares were revealed was lost. as a result, dfhack no longer has any idea which squares were and were not revealed, so if you try to unreveal it has no data to refer to and nothing will happen. lesson: do not leave the map revealed for prolonged periods of time

as robertheinrich mentioned, revflood will probably fix the problem. it hides the entire map, and then floods from the cursor outwards and reveals every square it can access.

Is it possible to run dfhack without having it take over the console window (linux)?

I ask because I want to play over ssh using [PRINT_MODE:TEXT] and dfhack taking over the window makes that impossible, as far as I can tell.

If it takes over the terminal in TEXT mode, then that's a bug. Does it?
