Bomrekevost, "Whipsects" is a 6x6 map known to have hidden magma, chalk, marble.
This guy thinks he's better than everyone else (and he's right; he is a minor god). When immigrants show up, he will have them do unskilled and military jobs only. He will do all skilled labor himself. (Or I may decide that he's a hermit, and kill off immigrants.)
I expect this will be an interesting balancing act.
I will play with using reveal this time. I enjoy it more that way.
Post-mortem: the universe collapsed. That world was accidentally deleted. He didn't even get to unload the wagon. I may try again someday.
Enable Magma Buildings
Helper utility for Rick's reveal.exe
enable_magma_buildings.zip
You need this utility in the case that you used the reveal utility, and there is a magma pool or pipe on your map that does not reach the surface. (If the hide utility is ever updated, you could also hide a few magma tiles and then dig them out. That worked in the old version.)
Because there is no actual flag that controls whether magma has been seen (the game searches a list, probably a list of notable events), I had to patch the game's code. This means you need to run the patch every time you start dwarfort.exe.
This utility has been made version-independent. It is expected to work with future releases of Dwarf Fortress.
Seekret Projekt
The seekret projekt has been revealed to be Regional Prospector.
Thank you to all who beta tested and left feedback. I appreciate your help.
Beta2 with the enhancement that regional map squares with magma are given a red background. regional_prospector_beta2.zip
Beta3 with better magma highlighting, Latitudes rolled in, and Seed rolled in.
regional_prospector_beta3.zip
Known limitations and bugs:
- Caves are not displayed. [MAYFIX]
- sometimes a magma pool reaches the surface. The program still displays that as a single red tilde. [WONTFIX]
- There have been two verified reports of this program showing a magma feature, but the game having an empty pipe or pool. One of those cases involved a magma feature next to a goblin outpost; the other is not understood. Investigation did show that the magma feature flag was set in both reports. [WONTFIX]
(v2 beta) I don't know how to populate a certain data structure, so in some cases a 16x16 block will not be highlighted properly until you have moved the cursor over it. I may or may not be able to fix this.Resolved in beta3.- (v2 beta) On the Region map, haunted, sinister, and terrifying locations with magma: it is almost impossible to read a dark magenta symbol against the dark red background, and it is truly impossible to read a dark red symbol against the dark red background. [WILLFIX]
- (v2 beta) Some deep-ocean region cells are marked as having magma. I have verified that the game does flag them as magma. [WONTFIX]
Only tested with DF version .33g. May crash DF; report this.
Latitudes
Latitudes is a utility that, when on the embark map screen, shows the X/Y coordinates of the current region. Until Toady adds proper support, this will do the trick. Works in .32a through at least .33g. Technical notes: uses memory injection, so it may be flagged as a suspicious file by antivirus programs.
Art Defacement
beta1. Doesn't immediately update affected dwarf's moods.
All Voodoo is Out of Date
I will soon upload some source that demonstrates these methods.
Voodoo has been removed from this page; it is still available in the revision history.
