# Click Change Prefix again after it's done configuring and make sure Wine is using that one.
# Move DF and DT to the Program Files associated with the *general* prefix. DT won't find any running versions of DF otherwise. Mine was located in *username*/documents/generic/drive_c/program files.

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. Releases support versions up through 0.34.11 (as of June 22nd, 2012). Runs on both Windows and Linux.

DFHack has an [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=91166.0 official forum thread].

DF Designator helps you build fortresses from either image files or Quickfort .CSV files. It also has a user interface that allows you to assign hotkeys to blueprints and to combine blueprints in multi z-level designs. Windows, Mac and Linux versions are available.

=== [http://www.joelpt.net/quickfort/ Quickfort] ===

Quickfort is an AutoHotkey-based utility for Dwarf Fortress that helps you build fortresses from "blueprint" .CSV files (comma separated values). These files are easily created and edited in an app like Excel. Most building-oriented DF commands are supported through the use of multiple .CSV files to describe the different phases of DF construction (designation, building, stockpiles, and making adjustments.

So randomly some corpses have started animating yet no necromancer is nearby it seems. I'm in a good region and have had no announcements except Urist McHauler cancels store barrel: Interrupted by Kea corpse.
Perhaps Necromancers can ambush?

What else could cause undeath?

==Editing Guide==

I'd like to suggest that a new page with editing tips be created and linked to the main page. I think expanding on [[User_talk:Nyotor_Lizardhammers|this]] would be great. I especially would be interested in more information on how to do redirects, since I've done some incorrectly in the past (thanks for fixing them, Quietust!). I think it would be an excellent resource for those who haven't edited any other wikis before (like me) and for people who aren't familiar with the particular quirks of this wiki. Hopefully, this would reduce the number of red links we have the next time the namespace changes. --[[User:Cali|Cali]] 09:49, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

:I very much agree. I signed up recently to help out, and, as a new wiki person, I couldn't find a consolidated source of information about editing standards. The "Centralized discussion" page needs the aforementioned links. Especially the link to the [[http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki:Community_Portal#We_are_doing_this.21_Let_us_do_it_right.]]Alphabet Constitution.

::Yes, the "Alphabet Constitution" should be easier to find, and is included in the link I provided above. I'm glad I'm not the only who thinks this would be a useful idea. --[[User:Cali|Cali]] 00:38, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

== Gameplay Elements: Buildings vs. Workshops ==

Is there some reason why there are two separate pages for the same thing? And why does the Workshop page have this "Tier" categorization implemented? It doesn't seem to be necessary. I think the two should should be merged, and only contain a brief overview of what each workshop does, with a link to the workshop page.[[User:Darchitect|Darchitect]] 15:11, 27 February 2012 (UTC)Darchitect

:Yes. Workshops are buildings, but not all buildings are workshops.
:The tier system is an attempt at systematizing the workshops relative to their input and output. As it is unnecessary, confusing, and not directly representative of the game, it should be removed. No article should list workshops anyway, as we have <nowiki>{{workshops}}</nowiki> for that.
:I suggest that we make [[DF2012:Workshop]] a short general article that refers the user on to the specific workshop articles. --[[User:Nahno|Nahno]] 23:02, 28 February 2012 (UTC)-

:::Excellent suggestion. I second the motion. I'm going to edit the Buildings article a bit, as well, as it doesn't communicate its concept very well. --[[User:Darchitect|Darchitect]] 20:36, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

==The Stop Censorship Banner==

Can we get this off of the wiki? This place isn't for political advocacy. --[[User:Bouchart|Bouchart]] 23:37, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
: No. If this bill passes, I will be unable to host the wiki due to the legal issues involved. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 00:44, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
:: The bills have been essentially struck down. There's a chance they'll return, but I think the banner doesn't need to be up anymore.--[[Special:Contributions/173.167.163.13|173.167.163.13]] 18:18, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

== New version ==

The main page recognises the new version, but not the new release date. [[Special:Contributions/188.95.42.176|188.95.42.176]] 14:08, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
:That's because the release date comes from a different template, which nobody updated. Given that this version is '''not''' save-compatible with 0.31.xx, it's very likely that a new namespace will be created to cover it, so it might be good to wait on updating existing pages. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 14:11, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
::A few questions, then:
::*Is the DF2010 namespace going to be changed to df31 or similar, based on the version number instead of our placeholder title?
::*Will the new namespace be DF2012, df34, or something else?
::*{{tl|ArticleVersion}} and [[Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Current]] will need to be updated, yes?
::Yay new version! --[[User:Timrem|Timrem]] 20:27, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
:::On each of those questions, I'm not sure - I've contacted the admins, but I haven't yet gotten a response. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 20:48, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

The main page has recognized the new version but not the new release date, again. Just reminding the people in charge to fix this :) --[[User:Merreton|Merreton]] 16:50, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Merreton: Changing unknown quality to Exceptional based on quality standards guide

{{quality|Exceptional}}{{av}}
A '''fanciful''' creature is one that is not mundane. Fanciful creatures include the {{L|megabeast|megabeasts}}, the powerful occupants of {{L|Demon|Hidden Fun Stuff}}, and "merely" magical creatures such as werewolves and fairies. Fanciful creatures can appear in {{L|engraving|engravings}} and other works of {{L|art}}. Some fanciful creatures will spawn in certain biomes; fairies are common in good areas, and sasquatches can be seen occasionally in savage mountainous regions. Others can appear only in special circumstances. Examples of these are some of the targets of {{L|quest}} in {{L|adventure mode}}, or the {{L|megabeast|megabeasts}} which occasionally attack you in {{L|fortress mode}}.

Fanciful creatures in the game object data are defined by either the [FANCIFUL] or [MAGICAL] tokens.

Merreton: /* Quality */ new section

Are there any major differences between 38c and 40d or can it be moved to 40d:Fanciful? [[User:Iffonox|Iffonox]]

It has outgoing links, therefore it needs to be moved. [[User:Andrewas|Andrewas]] 22:53, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

== Quality ==

Appears to be exceptional judging by the quality standards page, it is dubious about the usefulness of the article. Due to this, I'll go ahead and change the quality so that we can clean up the unknown quality articles.
