Template:AV Please only list utilities that are known to work with the newest version here.

Here are third party applications developed for Dwarf Fortress.

Dwarf Fortress File Depot

The Dwarf Fortress File Upload Service - an excellent place to store mods, community games, tilesets and other files. Courtesy of Janus; for files related to Dwarf Fortress only.

Reveal

Reveal (or Reveal.exe as it is commonly referred to) is a program that runs alongside Dwarf Fortress and shows all "unexplored" or "undug" tiles of the map (in fortress mode). To reveal entire map designate the entire bottom level to be mined and then remove designation before running reveal. Playing on revealed map might (read "will") cause some bugs (like not being able to build magma buildings or a tower-cap farm, losing all plants/trees on the map, and a lot more). Using Reveal has been known to corrupt saved game folders. and, as such, it is highly recommended to only use Reveal to preview a biome's layout and then restart without running Reveal.

There are two versions of Reveal, one for Vista and newer, one for XP and older.

The new version of Reveal.exe (Reveal2) is in public beta, you can find it here Reveal2. Please report problems in 0x517A5D's Talk page.

Pasting the following code into reveal2.ini makes it work for the newest (DF2010) version of Dwarf Fortress:

DF2010

[4BB45F99] map_data=0x016ad718 map_x_count=0x016ad738 map_y_count=0x016ad73c map_z_count=0x016ad740

However, do not save your game, it can mess up many things including civilisations (Giant Toad and Cave Crocodile civilisations, you will also embark with those if it should occur.)
