Wiki Modifications

Namespace Links

This wiki currently makes use of a MediaWiki patch which automatically directs links from particular namespaces to other specific namespaces unless indicated otherwise - in this case, links in the "DF2012" and "DF2012 Talk" namespaces automatically point to "DF2012", "v0.31" and "v0.31 Talk" point to "v0.31", "40d" and "40d Talk" point to "40d", and "23a" and "23a Talk" point to "23a".

DFRawFunctions

DFRawFunctions is a MediaWiki extension designed for parsing Dwarf Fortress raws. Sources and documentation can be found here.

Fortresses

v0.28.181.40d

• Urdimzatam, Towerclouted - First successful fortress; no real megaprojects to speak of.
• Tathtakunib, Wasprag - First megaproject as monument (23 Z-level clear glass pyramid filled with magma), tower-cap farm, giant cave spider silk farm, automatic obsidian factory implementation (see below).
• Naniratîs, Rhymestakes - First megaproject as actual fortress (47x47x16 cast obsidian tower), complete with self-destruct button.

v0.23.130.23a

• Rigothral, Craftsilvers - First retro-fortress, included a magma flooding device.
• Ceroltishak, Lenstyphoon - Second retro-fortress, used raws with all 40d creatures and plants imported.

v0.31

• Ashmônèrith, Shadelabors - First fortress in version 0.31.
• Sobìrilral, Releasetreaty - Second fortress in version 0.31. Used a spiral ramp for access until it turned out to be significantly slower than just using stairs.

Projects

Dwarf Fortress 0.23.130.23a

Version 0.23.130.23a was quite different from the game as it exists today - it lacked many of the features present in the game today, but it had numerous gameplay elements that have since been discarded.

Dwarf Manipulator

Just like Dwarf Therapist, but using a text-based interface (based on Valdemar's prototype). The only other tool available, Dwarf Foreman, was incapable of assigning labors for individual dwarves unless you gave each dwarf its own custom profession. Download here.

2D Forbidder

A tool which allows manually forbidding/reclaiming, chasming, or melting the currently viewed item, almost just like in the 3D version. Download here.

2D Autoforbid

A tool which automatically forbids items carried in the inventories of foreign units. Download here.

EXE Patches

A few hex-edits to the game's executable to alter its behavior in beneficial ways and/or fix bugs:

Generated Raws Extractor

Run rawextract.php and specify your save directory as a parameter (or omit it to use the current working directory) and all generated raws (titans, forgotten beasts, demons, night creatures, inorganics, interactions, etc.) will be written to files in the current directory, named by the object ID. Works with both compressed and uncompressed worlds, with or without active saves, from Dwarf Fortress versions 0.31.01 and later.

Body Parser

Run this PHP script and specify your save directory as a parameter (or omit it to use the current working directory) and all creature bodies will be examined for consistency. Warnings about unconnected shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles are to be expected on armless/legless creatures^Bug:4095, but others may indicate fundamental problems in your creature definitions.
