== Current Build ==
+
== Reveal2 ==
  
Interesting setup you've got there. I run something similar, though not completely abusive to game limits. (Leg+5 in everything? comeon! :P)
+
PLEASE NOTE that I consider Reveal2 to be obsolete; it has been superseded by the dfreveal component of [Utilities#DFHack|DFHack], which has all of Reveal2's functionality plus unreveal capability.
  
Got one guy with proficient in everything, while the rest have no skills and are purely haulers and pre-dabbling farmers.
+
Accordingly, the following section is only of historical interest.
Hauling and farming were the only tasks I decided to free my 'hero' dwarf from, since they're so god-awfully time consuming.
+
:::----
 +
Feedback for the Vista-compatible version of Reveal goes here, please.
  
As for items: A single full suit of steel armor and one of each weapon, with only a handful of bolts, should an errant fire imp come over in the first season.
+
Running Reveal 2, using windows 7 RC, DF ver.40d11 with mayday.  
A couple dozen of each booze and both plump helmet and spawn, with 11 each of the remaining seeds.
+
Gives the error: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
Of course the mandatory 1 each of food and whatnot.
+
I have made myself the owner of all the files, and have tried running as admin. Any ideas?
A hefty stock of giant cave spider thread to jumpstart my trading power (a single shoe will go for no less than 900 I think... initial investment is only 120p each)
 
A miscellany of assorted bars, wood, ores, and stone to spend the remaining points.
 
Also took along 3 wardogs for some additional protection and 10 cattle to get a herd going.
 
  
All-in-all I limit myself to 32000 total points, as it's the highest clean number that the signed integer will accept in a once-off edit.
+
: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 sureBut 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.
Also used adjust start to give me 10 dwarves, and set Max_Pop to only 7, so no immigrants unless I get really short on helpers.
 
 
 
My guy's got something of a demi-god complex too, as his name is Master, the rest are named Servant, and the world is "Kôr Nòm" (Master of God). Remembered to look it up when I dabbled with the Regional Prospector ;)
 
 
 
Anyways, saw that you had a very similar idea for a build and thought you might want to hear you're not the only one going for the "God and Servants" route ;)

== Search Function ==
 
 
 
It may be helpful to make it clear the search function used in your version-independent code examples is a user-define function and is not associated with the STL search algorithm. I would also recommend posting the source files for search function, or commenting that they are available from the enable magma buildings zip file

:That's a good point about search().  I've just renamed it hexsearch() in my most recent (not yet released) source.<br/>I had started to document the search patterns in a more generic way, but decided that (a) it took me too long to translate, and (b) few of the target audience would be able and willing to retranslate into their own search-like functionsSo I just started cutting and pasting patterns out of my source.<br/>As for posing the source to hexsearch(), I think that the target audience can track it down.  (If we could host arbitrary files directly on this wiki, I would.  I just think it's too big to put into a &lt;code&gt; block.)<br/>&mdash;[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 16:17, 29 November 2007 (EST)

Reveal2[edit]

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.

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 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.

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.

Regretfully, I don't have the source code for the actual module that does the map alterations. That was written by Rick/Gibbed who didn't make it open-source, and he seems to have disappeared.

I think I found what you want. The DF2010:Utilities#DFHack listing says DFHacks reveal module can hide tiles as well. I'll copy this note to your talk page to ensure you see it.
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. :)--Draco18s 18:20, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Moodable skills & etc. updated[edit]

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.)--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 thoughts are?

Added a spoiler warning, half way thru, after some/most of the basics. But somehow I (we?) lost the weighting of "Miner" - any idea? Strange_mood#Chance --Albedo 08:33, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Artifact quality[edit]

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.
