== Reveal2 ==
  
PLEASE NOTE that I consider Reveal2 to be obsolete; it has been superseded by the dfreveal component of [Utilities#DFHack|DFHack], which has all of Reveal2's functionality plus unreveal capability.
 
 
Accordingly, the following section is only of historical interest.

Feedback for the Vista-compatible version of Reveal goes here, please.
 
Feedback for the Vista-compatible version of Reveal goes here, please.
  
Running Reveal 2, using windows 7 RC, DF ver.40d11 with mayday.
 
Gives the error: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
 
I have made myself the owner of all the files, and have tried running as admin. Any ideas?
 
 
:Not really.  That error message's text is not in either reveal2.exe or in the binary modules.  The error message may come from the binary modules anyway — I don't have [[User:Rick|Rick's]] source code so I can't tell for sure.  But I suspect that this error is coming from Windows; it is failing to run reveal2.exe at all.  I can reproduce the error message (in XP) by restricting the permissions on reveal2.exe to deny my own user account access to it.  I think check the permissions on the files — just because you're the owner doesn't mean you necessarily have permission to access the files.
 
 
Have seen no game-corrupting issues having saved and loaded a Revealed map so far (other than not having magma buildings).--[[User:Draco18s|Draco18s]] 02:58, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 
:Good to know.  Myself, I've not dared to try saving or playing a Revealed map.  I save and reload the map in DF, run Reveal2, look around in DF, and kill the DF process via ctrl-alt-delete.  Then restart DF, of course.<br/>&mdash;[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 16:50, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 
::I'd thought I'd made a backup of the unrevealed map (copied wrong save), so I could go back ''if necessary'' but alas, I'm stuck with it.  Unfortunately...I have no magma buildings.  I tried looking through the Reveal code to see if I could invert the process (e.g. make a Hide utility) but I can't find the critical line.--[[User:Draco18s|Draco18s]] 02:38, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 
:::Regretfully, I don't have the source code for the actual module that does the map alterations.  That was written by [[User:Rick|Rick/Gibbed]] who didn't make it open-source, and he seems to have disappeared.<br/><br/>Dtil can hide tiles, but Dtil hasn't been updated for the new release yet.  I may get around to playing with the Dtil config files to try to get something working, but I can't promise anything.  Sorry.  At least there's lots of coal these days.  (Presuming you have a sedimentary layer.)<br/>&mdash;[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 01:53, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 
::::I wish.  I'm up in the mountains.  No sand, no coal, 1 tile worth of trees (which, oddly, I haven't completely deforested).--[[User:Draco18s|Draco18s]] 21:12, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 
:::::I think I found what you want.  The [[DF2010:Utilities#DFHack]] listing says [http://github.com/peterix/dfhack/downloads DFHack]s reveal module can hide tiles as well.  I'll copy this note to your talk page to ensure you see it.<br/>&mdash;[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 20:02, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 
::::::Found that more recently.  Already had DFHack, but didn't notice its reveal tool or that it could re-hide until after I'd abandoned and started a new fort.  Thanks though. :)--[[User:Draco18s|Draco18s]] 18:20, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

::I understand that .39e and subsequent don't need the utility, can anyone confirm this?<br/>&mdash;[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 14:43, 12 August 2008 (EDT)

:::.39d and + have a site finder that can spot locations with specific features, but your tool is much more powerful. Many types of sites can still only be found with RP. If it could be made to work with a config file containing relevant memory locations (or able to take advantage of rick's memory xml included with tweak) I think that would be a permanent solution.

:I'm not surprised that it's no longer working.  I haven't even looked at the source code in over a year.  The Tweak utility can do the job and a whole lot more.  (But Tweak is not yet updated for the 40d* series either.)

:Zatnik, You could try loading your fort in an older version such as .40d, using Tweak, then switching back to .40d6 or another recent version.<br/>&mdash;[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 13:33, 8 January 2009 (EST)

(Beta feedback goes here, please.)

I'm not even sure to be honest what 'Stone Sense' is. I can't seem to find any info or mentions of it anywhere but here. If you explain what SS is I would love to beta it --[[User:Vandelay|Vandelay]] 19:48, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

== Barrel-free food piles? ==
 +
 +
:>Also set food piles to 0 barrels, except the seedpile should allow 1. This means you need more space devoted to food piles, but you can see at a glance how much food you have. (Note: supposedly you will lose more food to vermin this way.)
 +
 +
You could just press Z for fortress status.

[[User:Gairabad|Gairabad]] 20:51, 7 December 2008 (EST)

:No.  The Z status screen groups prepared meals together with food which needs processing to become edible, under the Other category.
 +
:The Z,Stocks list does split out prepared meals, but that is not something I am used to doing.  I will stick with what works for me.<br/>&mdash;[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 18:43, 8 December 2008 (EST)

Some time later... [[Strange mood]].  Made a lot of tweaks, new tables, and re-ordered the overall presentation.  Major rewrites are under the "eligibility" and "chance" subsections, w/ some under "workshops", and misc all over.  (Comparing "history" is almost useless due to re-ordering.)--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 12:46, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

:Thanks, looks good.  I see an issue I'll correct WRT "20 dwarves".  Some of this is new to me, as I've not looked hard at the preconditions for entering a mood.  Should this be protected with a spoiler tag the way [[thought|thoughts]] are?<br/>&mdash;[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 19:04, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

== Artifact quality ==
 
 
What version was that inspection (the one that yielded 5x quality multiplier for artifacts) concerning item quality? I asked on #Bay12Games, but they gave me conflicting answers as to what the quality of an artifact really is.
 
:I don't think I was the person who figured that out.  I don't remember doing it.<br/>&mdash;[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 20:19, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
