+ | == [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=645 Reveal] == | ||
− | + | Reveal (or Reveal.exe as it is commonly referred to) is a program that runs alongside Dwarf Fortress and shows all "unexplored" or "undug" tiles of the map (in fortress mode). To reveal entire map designate the entire bottom level to be mined and then remove designation before running reveal (Not required in the latest version using the parameters below, simply start the .exe file.). Playing on revealed map might ''(read "will")'' cause some bugs (like not being able to build magma buildings or a tower-cap farm, losing all plants/trees on the map, and a lot more). '''Using Reveal has been known to corrupt saved game folders.''' and, as such, it is highly recommended to only use Reveal to preview a biome's layout and then restart without running Reveal. | |
− | |||
− | + | There are two versions of Reveal, one for Vista and newer, one for XP and older. | |
− | |||
− | + | The new version of Reveal.exe (Reveal2) is in public beta, you can find it here [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1044 Reveal2]. Please report problems in [[User_talk:0x517A5D|0x517A5D's Talk page]]. | |
− | + | Pasting the following code into reveal2.ini makes it work for the newest (DF2010) version of Dwarf Fortress: | |
− | === [ | + | <pre> |
+ | ;; DF2010 31.02 | ||
+ | [4BBDF378] | ||
+ | map_data=0x016ad718 | ||

+ | map_y_count=0x016ad73c | ||
+ | map_z_count=0x016ad740 | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | [4BB45F99] can be substituted in for 31.01. | ||
− | + | For 31.04, the following works: | |
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | ; .31.04 | ||
+ | [4BF014FA] | ||
+ | dwarf_fortress=0x00A551C0 | ||

+ | map_z_count=0x016BAAEC | ||
+ | map_data_designation_offset=0x29C | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
− | + | However, do '''not''' save your game, it can mess up many things including civilizations (Giant Toad and Cave Crocodile civilizations, you will also embark with those if it should occur.) | |

− | + | DFHack is a Dwarf Fortress memory access library and a set of basic tools using this library. The library is a work in progress, so things might change as more tools are written for it. The current (0.3.1.4) release only supports the new DF 0.31.01, 0.31.02 and 0.31.03 versions. It consists of some of the more useful DFHack tools. | |
− | + | Code and binary releases are available from the [http://github.com/peterix/dfhack/downloads Github site]. | |
− | + | === DFhack tools for DF 2010 === | |
+ | ==== dfcleanmap ==== | ||
+ | Cleans all the bloodsmears that get scattered all over the map. | ||
+ | ==== dfliquids ==== | ||
+ | Allows creating liquids (water and magma), making them flow or preventing them from flowing. Newly also allows making obsidian walls. It's a command-prompt style utility where you type in very simple commands. Replaces the older magma_create tool. | ||
− | + | ==== dfprospector ==== | |
+ | Lists all available minerals on the map and how much of them there is. | ||
+ | ==== dfreveal ==== | ||
+ | Reveals the whole map. Newly can also hide what it revealed. Use with caution, releases [[HFS]]! Same warnings as to the original Reveal tool apply. | ||
− | === | + | ==== dfvdig ==== |
− | + | Designates a whole vein for digging. When using the '-x' option, it will dig stairs into other z-levels. Point the cursor at a vein and run this thing :) | |

+ | *[http://mkv25.net/dfma/ Dwarf Fortress Map Archive] | ||
− | + | The DF Map Compressor encodes multiple bitmaps exported from Dwarf Fortress into a single, very compressed, .fdf-map file. The fdf-map file can then be shared with your friends by uploading to the DF Map Archive that features an online viewer (written in Flash). | |
− | + | The map compressor was created by Shadowlord in May 2007. Extract from the website : | |
+ | :"The '''DF Map Compressor''' is a program I made to encode Dwarf Fortress fortress or world map images into a much smaller format than is possible with normal image formats. Here's a quick summary of how it works: It determines the size of your tiles from your DF font file (or asks you), splits the map up into tiles, identifies duplicate tiles, writes out every unique tile image, and then writes out a list of ID#s for each tile position which points to the tile image for that tile. What it outputs is piped through the LZMA compressor (the one used in 7-zip), to compress it further. The .df-map file which it writes out is usually less than 100 KB in size. (By comparison, a PNG of the same map can exceed 2 megabytes, depending on how well you compress it, whether you change the color depth, and whether you are using a graphical tileset or detailed font)." | ||

If you compare modified raw files with unmodified ones you can quickly see any differences. | Winmerge allows you to compare the contents of folders or files.
