0.40.xx

MADMAN — A standalone tool for operating on groups of map tiles.

• Implements much of dfmarmot's functionality, but includes support for 40d, legacy versions, and 0.34+.
  • New functionality:
    • Can modify tile effects (smoke, steam, miasma, etc.), turning them into soothing mist (~) or another effect type ( #).
    • Y can be used to make temporary changes (e.g., creating a chasm under an invading army); pressing enter again reverts changed tile data to its original state. Not recommended if your selection includes trees or shrubs; DF tends to throw out the associated plant data as soon as the tile type changes.
    • Offsets can now be specified relative to the DF executable's base address, which should solve a lot of issues encountered under recent versions of Windows.
• Stores offsets using an ini-based system which I still need to write documentation for.
  • Latest dfmem.ini (0.40.14)

0.34.xx

Save Tools — Tools to (de/re)compress and extract data from 0.31–34.xx .sav/.dat files.

• Undat2 allows save-modifying tools such as DF World Tinker to be used without disabling save compression altogether.
• Includes support for (de/re)compressing 40d-style .dat files.

Scripts for DFHack

Tweak for 0.31.01–0.34.11 (mainly just Tile Edit works at this point)

• For 0.31.05+, you may need to rename Dwarf Fortress.exe to dwarfort.exe for Tweak to recognize it.
• Support for 0.31.05 SDL currently has serious issues, and 0.31.06 SDL is not supported at all.
• Versions 0.31.09–11 were skipped due to computer issues (and subsequent distractions).
• Based on jweather's release with 40d offsets.

0.31.xx

dfmarmot — A DFHack-based tool for operating on groups of map tiles.

• Allows tiles within a user-defined area to be modified in several ways:
  • Liquids can be created, and will flow and react to temperatures as normal.
  • Temperatures can be changed to any value (and, unlike with Tile Edit, changes will always take effect immediately).
  • Tiles can be revealed without revealing the entire map, or hidden as desired.
  • A full listing of available commands can be viewed by entering the ? command.
• Also allows for viewing data on the current tile or block, or retrieving info about any mineral veins, spatter, etc. in the current block.
• Source includes some Pascal units for interfacing with DFHack via the C language bindings.
  • Included: DFHack (base), DFHContext, DFHCreatures, DFHGui, DFHMaps, DFHMaterials, DFHTranslation, DFHTypes, DFHVeg (vegetation, required by maps), DFHWorld
  • Available upon request: DFHItems, DFHTileTypes
  • Unfinished: DFHProcess (memrange struct/allocator), shiny new cross-referenced package documentation, testing of all the fiddly bits.
• Requires the legacy version of DFHack.
