Utility:Tweak

Gibbed's Dwarf Fortress Tweak

Tweak is a utility for Dwarf Fortress created by Rick which can load modules that provide different functionality to the user for tweaking, or editing Dwarf Fortress memory. It will attempt to automatically identify the version of the running Dwarf Fortress process and automatically load data related to that version.

It is written in C# and requires the .NET 3.5 Runtime, as well as the .net 2.0 as well as the .net 1.1 SEPARATELY installed.

There are many modules - both written by myself and others.

Installing Tweak

Tweak does not have an installer, but it does have several directories and many files within them, so it is suggested not to directly extract to your Dwarf Fortress directory, if it must, I would suggest putting it in a subdirectory named 'tweak' or equivilent.

The ZIP file for Tweak comes with everything in the tweak directory to make this easier.

Updating Tweak for a new version of Dwarf Fortress

Tweak still uses a similar system that my old tools did with memory.ini -- there is no pattern scanning in the core address and offset definitions. This is because I consider pattern scanning to be a bit slow, and there isn't a need to have it scan every time you open Tweak when the addresses are the same. I do however, provide a module called Lookup Addresses which can load an XML file which has definitions and patterns.

Core Modules

For more details on Core Modules see the Core Modules article.

Installing modules

Todo: But pretty much you just drop the files from the plugin into directory Tweak is installed to.
