==About==
 
==About==
Not your average Dwarf Fortress player, is interested in reverse-engineering the game in order to figure out ''exactly'' how things work. Has a nearly completely documented disassembly of version 0.23.130.23a (because the freely available IDA Pro 5.0 doesn't work as well with newer versions) and managed to locate (and fix) multiple bugs that still exist in the currently released version. Is a member of the DFHack development team and can be found in the #dfhack IRC channel on Freenode as well as in the Bay 12 Forums.

This wiki previously made use of a [http://www.qmtpro.com/~quietust/misc/ns_link-1.17.0.diff MediaWiki patch] to automatically direct links from particular namespaces to other specific namespaces unless indicated otherwise - in this case, links in the "DF2012" and "DF2012 Talk" namespaces automatically pointed to "DF2012", "v0.31" and "v0.31 Talk" pointed to "v0.31", "40d" and "40d Talk" pointed to "40d", and "23a" and "23a Talk" pointed to "23a". This functionality has apparently since been integrated into MediaWiki itself.

===Dwarf Fortress 0.28.181.40d===
 +
Version [[40d:Main Page|0.28.181.40d]] was the last 3D release prior to the materials rewrite, and the last version to include the dwarven economy and several other features.
 +
 +
====EXE Patches====
 +
A few hex-edits to the game's executable to alter its behavior in beneficial ways and/or fix bugs. These are only for version 0.28.181.40d, '''NOT''' any of Baughn's OpenGL-optimized versions (such as 40d19).

====DFHack-40d====
 +
A port of modern DFHack for Dwarf Fortress version 0.28.181.40d ('''NOT''' any of Baughn's OpenGL-optimized versions, such as 40d19), including most of the common (and meaningful) DFHack plugins along with Lua scripting. Not yet complete, but sources can be found [https://github.com/quietust/dfhack-40d/ here] if you want to play around with it.
 +
 +
Note that this version does '''not''' load automatically on startup - instead, you must run a separate "dfhack.exe" loader to load the DLL and inject the necessary hooks.
 +
 +
However, the following binary patches can be applied in order to make DFHack load automatically on startup:
 +
* 0x118CF1: FB 74 0C -> 37 52 45
 +
* 0x118F47: 05 FB 19 -> 60 50 45
 +
* 0x11905D: 4F 36 00 -> 85 4F 45
 +
* 0x259027: 33 DB 38 1D 44 -> E9 98 4F 31 00

Just like Dwarf Therapist, but using a text-based interface (based on [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=53113.0 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 [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2248 here]. Also available as a DFHack plugin.

* [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2248 Dwarf Manipulator] - the predecessor of the well-known DFHack plugin (based on [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=53113.0 Valdemar's prototype]), implemented as a standalone console application specifically for 23a. The only other tool available, Dwarf Foreman, was incapable of assigning labors for individual dwarves unless you gave each dwarf its own custom profession. Also available within DFHack-23a.
 
+
* [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2380 2D Forbidder] - a tool which allows manually forbidding/reclaiming, chasming, or melting the currently viewed item, almost just like in the 3D version. Also incorporated into DFHack-23a.

About[edit]

Not your average Dwarf Fortress player, is interested in reverse-engineering the game in order to figure out exactly how things work. Has nearly completely documented disassemblies of versions 0.23.130.23a, 0.28.181.40d, and 0.31.25 (and is planning to do the same for 0.34.11, 0.47.05, and possibly additional versions in between), and has managed to locate (and fix) multiple bugs that still exist in the currently released version. Is a member of the DFHack development team and can be found on the DFHack Discord server as well as in the Bay 12 Forums.

Wiki Modifications[edit]

Namespace Links[edit]

This wiki previously made use of a MediaWiki patch to automatically direct links from particular namespaces to other specific namespaces unless indicated otherwise - in this case, links in the "DF2012" and "DF2012 Talk" namespaces automatically pointed to "DF2012", "v0.31" and "v0.31 Talk" pointed to "v0.31", "40d" and "40d Talk" pointed to "40d", and "23a" and "23a Talk" pointed to "23a". This functionality has since been converted into an extension.

DFRawFunctions[edit]

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

Fortresses[edit]

v0.28.181.40d[edit]

  • 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[edit]

  • 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[edit]

  • 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.

Wiki[edit]

  • Mostly casual editor, updating article content as well as fixing formatting
  • Owner of the bot QuietBot - if you need to run a series of repetitive but predictable tasks, post a message here.

Projects[edit]

Dwarf Fortress 0.28.181.40d[edit]

Version 0.28.181.40d was the last 3D release prior to the materials rewrite, and the last version to include the dwarven economy and several other features.

EXE Patches[edit]

A few hex-edits to the game's executable to alter its behavior in beneficial ways and/or fix bugs. These are only for version 0.28.181.40d, NOT any of Baughn's OpenGL-optimized versions (such as 40d19).

DFHack-40d[edit]

A port of modern DFHack for Dwarf Fortress version 0.28.181.40d (NOT any of Baughn's OpenGL-optimized versions, such as 40d19), including most of the common (and meaningful) DFHack plugins along with Lua scripting. Not yet complete, but sources can be found here if you want to play around with it.

Note that this version does not load automatically on startup - instead, you must run a separate "dfhack.exe" loader to load the DLL and inject the necessary hooks.

However, the following binary patches can be applied in order to make DFHack load automatically on startup:

Dwarf Fortress 0.23.130.23a[edit]

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.

Utilities[edit]

  • Dwarf Manipulator - the predecessor of the well-known DFHack plugin (based on Valdemar's prototype), implemented as a standalone console application specifically for 23a. The only other tool available, Dwarf Foreman, was incapable of assigning labors for individual dwarves unless you gave each dwarf its own custom profession. Also available within DFHack-23a.
  • 2D Forbidder - a tool which allows manually forbidding/reclaiming, chasming, or melting the currently viewed item, almost just like in the 3D version. Also incorporated into DFHack-23a.
  • 2D Autoforbid - a tool which automatically forbids items carried in the inventories of foreign units.

EXE Patches[edit]

A few hex-edits to the game's executable to alter its behavior in beneficial ways and/or fix bugs. All of these patches are available in the DFHack-23a repository (though some are grouped together in the same files) and can be applied with the standard DFHack "binpatch.exe" utility:

In order to use this, you must apply all of the binary patches above which are marked as "REQUIRED for DFHack".

Scripts[edit]

Generated Raws Extractor[edit]

Run rawextract.php or rawextract.pl 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[edit]

Run parsebody.php from either your save directory or the game's root directory (only supports 0.47.05 or earlier) 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 creaturesBug:4095, but others may indicate fundamental problems in your creature definitions.

23a Text Utility[edit]

Run wtf23a.php and specify a command, input file, and output file in order to manipulate the various data files used by Dwarf Fortress version 0.23.130.23a and older.

Kobold Name Generator[edit]

Run utterance.py to generate a random selection of Kobold names, using the exact same logic as in vanilla Dwarf Fortress.
