New string format

Offset	Size	Type	Description
0x00	16	Character buffer	Holds the string data if capacity < 16
0x00	4	Character pointer	Points to the string data if capacity >= 16
0x10	4	Length	Current length of the string
0x14	4	Capacity	Current capacity of the string buffer (also indicates which mode the string is in)

Yes, the first two items overlap. This is correct. This is the MSVC Express string format - Toady appears to be using standard C++ structures pretty much everywhere.

Vector format

Offset	Size	Type	Description
0x00	4	vtable	(not useful)
0x04	4	Array start
0x08	4	Array end	(End - Start)/4 = # of elements

Attention!

We need to be very clear about what version(s) these addresses apply to. Please list version numbers along with addresses.

Addresses for 27.169.33a

Name	Notes	Address
Useful Variables
Current Year		00C34378
Dwarf Race ID	As in the race identifier in the #Creature Structure	01237AD0 (probably)
Creature Vector		01416A48 (probably)

Creature Structure

In version {fill this in please}

Structure Offsets:

Offset	Size	Type	Description
0x00	4	Vptr	Virtual function table pointer
0x04	24	First name	See above string format
0x32	4	Surname word 1	No part of speech, like in the old structure
0x36	4	Surname word 2
0x70	24	Custom profession name	See above string format
0x88	2	Type ID #1	These two are wild guesses - I believe they are dwarf types. They appear to be duplicated (I'm told Toady stores the original dwarf type for legends) and I don't know which is the "old" and which is the "new". I've entered the values I've found in the Type ID table below. #2 is the current type.
0x8a	2	Type ID #2
0x8C	4	Creature Race	A6 is the dwarf default (this may be different if the user has a mod installed)
0xe4	4	Flags	(1 << 1) if creature is dead (redundant?)
0xe8	4	Flags	(1 << 7) if creature is dead (redundant?) (1 << 17) if creature is ready for slaughter
0x458	102	Labor preferences	102 1 byte values, corresponding to the profession list. Mostly bools, with notable exceptions of shieldtype,armortype, and weaponnum. I have No idea what the last one means.

Type ID list

Hideously incomplete and may be completely wrong.

ID	Meaning
0x00	Miner
0x04	Woodcutter
0x2f	Planter
0x29	Cook
0x31	Brewer
0x37	Mechanic
0x3e	Architect
0x6c	Creature

Profession list

Obviously could do with some formatting.
