0.42.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 (0.42.04)

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.

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.

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.
