− | === | + | === CMVPlayer === |
− | + | [http://www.geocities.com/jifodus/CMVPlayer.zip Download CMVPlayer.zip] | |
− | + | First released by Jifodus in April 2007. This application enables playback of the DF movies (.cmv) without starting DF. It also provides some more functionalities, such as : | |
+ | * Rewind | ||
+ | * Pause | ||
+ | * Play frame per frame | ||
− | + | To use, simply unzip the file, and drop and drag the movie on CMVPlayer.exe. | |

− | == | + | === 3Dwarf Visualizer - a tool to view maps in 3D === |
+ | *[http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=001450 Bay12Forums Thread] | ||
+ | This is NOT realtime, that is still a long, long way off. | ||
+ | What this does is read the map out of your computer's memory when DF is running and save it to a file it can read. It can then open that file and show you your fort in glorious 3d. | ||
+ | Still in beta, obviously. | ||
− | === [http:// | + | === Dwarvis / MapExtract === |
+ | *[http://code.google.com/p/dwarvis/ dwarvis on Google Code] | ||
+ | This project is meant as a 3rd party utility for the cult-game dwarf fortress. Its purpose is to eventually provide 3-dimensional visualization of static snapshots of the ingame world of a given fortress. | ||
− | Dwarf | + | === Dwarf Fortress File Depot === |
+ | *[http://dffd.wimbli.com/ The Dwarf Fortress File Upload Service], an excellent place to store mods, community games, tilesets and other files. Courtesy of [http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/User:Janus Janus]; for files related to Dwarf Fortress only. | ||
− | + | == Dwarf Companion == | |
+ | The [[User:Bartavelle/DwarfCompanion|Dwarf Companion]], created by [[User:Bartavelle|Bartavelle]] is a graphical helper utility for dwarf fortress that aims to fill the gaps in the user interface. It allows some for some nefarious cheating. For example, you can now mark your nobles as butcherable, and change possessed dwarves to fey moods. | ||

− | + | [http://www.pavlovian.net/foreman/ Home page]. Makes switching jobs on and off for large numbers of dwarves simple. Dwarves are grouped by their profession, or custom profession if they have one. By clicking on the graph you can enable any job for all dwarves with that profession. Still in alpha for this version of DF, if it doesn't recognize one of the new professions, check the file '''debug.txt''' in the directory you run foreman from. | |

Though prone to crashing currently, saving and exiting DF, starting foreman and then starting DF again will usually get it working again.

Dwarf Foreman currently allows you to change the jobs of visiting merchants, outpost liaisons, children, and any other dwarves that aren't normally controllable. It is unsupported but occasionally hilarious, and allows you to finally put those lazy dwarven children to work. | Dwarf Foreman currently allows you to change the jobs of visiting merchants, outpost liaisons, children, and any other dwarves that aren't normally controllable.

− | + | == StartProfile == | |
+ | Jifodus wrote a little utility that lets you maintain profiles of your starting dwarves. | ||

− | + | === Enable Magma Buildings === | |
− | + | Helper utility for Rick's reveal.exe<br/> | |
− | + | [http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?cat=other&file=3935enable_magma_buildings.zip enable_magma_buildings.zip] | |
− | + | You need this utility in the case that you used the reveal utility, and | |
− | + | you had not yet discovered any subsurface magma. | |
+ | (If the hide utility is ever updated, you could also hide a few magma | ||
+ | tiles and then dig them out. That worked in the old version.) | ||
− | + | Because there is no actual flag that controls whether magma has been seen | |
+ | (the game searches a list, probably a list of notable events), I had to | ||
+ | patch the game's code. This means you need to run the utility every time | ||
+ | you start dwarfort.exe. | ||
− | + | This utility has been made version-independent. | |
+ | It is expected to work with future releases of Dwarf Fortress. | ||
− | === | + | === Regional Prospector === |

− | A | + | A simple but very helpful utility that shows hidden map features at embark time. |
+ | If you're trying to find the perfect start location by repeatedly embarking and | ||
+ | revealing, give this one a shot! | ||
− | + | Map key: | |
− | + | :{{Raw Tile|≈|#F00|#AAA}} volcano; magma reaches the surface | |
− | + | :{{Raw Tile|~|#F00|#AAA}} underground magma pipe or magma pool | |

− | + | :{{Raw Tile|~|#00F|#AAA}} underground pool | |
− | + | :{{Raw Tile|#|#000|#AAA}} chasm | |
+ | :{{Raw Tile|£|#0FF|#AAA}} adamantine and pits | ||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | This utility has been made version-independent. | |
+ | It is known to work with all releases from 32a to 33g. | ||
+ | It is expected to work with future releases of Dwarf Fortress, | ||
+ | as long as the embark code doesn't change too much. | ||

− | === | + | === Latitudes === |
− | + | [http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?cat=other&file=latitudes.zip Latitudes] is a utility that, when on the embark map screen, shows the X/Y coordinates of the current region. Until Toady adds [http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=002191 proper support], this will do the trick. Works in .32a through at least .33g. Technical notes: uses memory injection, so it may be flagged as a suspicious file by anti-virus programs. | |

Caveat: The teleport utility does not correctly set the occupancy flag for map squares. As a results, dwarves will permanently crawl through the square that you teleported them out of. In addition, you cannot build structures in those squares. | Caveat: The teleport utility does not correctly set the occupancy flag for map squares.

− | === [http:// | + | == Water == |
− | + | [http://angband.org/~erasmus/df/water.exe water.exe] -- Quick hack to refill ponds. Run this while your fortress is up, and it'll restore any "murky pool" tiles (i.e. the floor of ponds and lakes) to 7/7 water. If you've tunneled into a pond, it'll still refill but will flow out normally. | |
− | |||
− | + | Only works with version 33e due to its "quick hack" status. | |
− | + | Note: If there is lava in a murky pool, it will be raised to depth 7/7. | |

− | + | ==DF Merge by Ikkonoishi == | |
+ | A quick and dirty utility to merge the DF data files together. I plan on making it scriptable so that you can use it to combine mods together easily and sort out any conflicts. Right now it is only useful to merge init files together for different versions of DF. Any values that are shared across the two files are combined with the values from the source overwriting the destination. You then click on the text to select it and copy it into the init.txt file of the new version. | ||
