== AutoHotKey ==

:::I have a number of scripts that I use, but they randomly bug out for no apparent reason.  They will work fine in notepad (ie, output everything exactly as I expect), but be only partially executing and then failing in DF.  Again, sometimes they work fine.  I could post them and how they work if someone wants.  FYI, I am on Vista and that may be an issue.  --[[User:Geofferic|Geofferic]] 02:39, 19 November 2007 (EST)

::::I'm not sure how CPU cycles and the buffer interact in Vista.  Is your FPS low?  Perhaps a key is dropping out of the buffer but DF isn't recognizing it due to lag?  Or lag might be making the buffer overflow.  It might depend on how autohotkey sends keystrokes, I don't know if it simulates a key press or directly input ssomething into the buffer.  You could try a small sleep(50), or the equivalent, in autohotkey and see if that helps.  Also, make sure it isn't losing focus for some reason due to background programs (although that would be strange) -Gotthard

:::::I think it's a lag issue in DF.  I've yet to figure out exactly what is causing lag for me.  I think it's pathing with too many dwarfs and too complex of a hallway system over too many Z levels.  Also, I think playing very large maps causes me to lag, as well, but I think that's related to the pathing problem and all those other creatures trying to path.  It definitely got better in this version, tho.  I will hold off on trying to say definitively what's up with AuthoHotkey until after the next patch.  --[[User:Geofferic|Geofferic]] 03:50, 21 November 2007 (EST)

::::::AHK does tend to do wierd stuff in DF, but most of it is predictable. A lot of wierd errors that make no sense can be fixed by explicitely telling the script to focus on the Dwarf Fortress window, as well as generous Sleep statements. I found while rewalling a 30x30 outline, sleep 100 worked fine for the first two sides but posted about half of the second two. Sleep 150 placed the second two somewhat erraticly. Sleep 200 got the second two just fine. --[[User:Knivesu|Knivesu]] 10:22, 23 December 2007 (EST)

== Dwarf Foreman ==

:Foreman is looking at the wrong address for the units... which is not a good sign, since I've seen it in the address it seems to be looking at.  I've also seen it bounce around.  Definitely not a good sign if the list location isn't static.  Or we're just looking at the wrong one completely. --[[User:AzureLightning|AzureLightning]]

It's pretty easy to find the addresses for this for new versions. Running the program in the directory with the new version gives you the check= value, and the others are moderately easy to suss. Also, I don't know exactly how it works or why it works, but from C->D->E start and pos were incremented 0x1000 each version, so laziness dictates trying that in future.

==heal.exe==

heal.exe does not regrow missing limbs.  However, "heal -hurt" on the command line brings missing limbs to red status, and "heal" thereafter restores the being to full health.

I propose a -regrow parameter so we don't have to do this workaround, since if it's possible to bring missing limbs from dark grey to red status it's also possible to grow them back.

Also, when using the -hurt parameter, it still says "059E7210 had 31 body parts '''healed'''", when it should probably say "wounded". --[[User:JT|JT]] 17:58, 10 November 2007 (EST)

: Hmm, if it does heal missing limbs then I just need to change my logic slightly for healing. --[[User:Rick|Rick]] 19:01, 10 November 2007 (EST)

==reveal.exe==

From what I've tested, reveal for 33a does not work for 33b. --[[User:Sparksol|Sparksol]] 13:39, 17 November 2007 (EST)

:Correct.  It uses hardcoded offsets, which will change every time new code is added to DF.
:I have a version hacked for .33b, which I will not distribute out of respect for Rick.
:However, if you are skilled with a hex editor, here's what to do: change the first 5 occurances of the pattern 85 45 01 to the pattern 95 45 01.  (The 6th occurance of the pattern is a coincidental match and should not be changed.)  Then change the pattern 8C 33 89 00 to the pattern 8C 43 89 00.<br/>&mdash;[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 02:31, 19 November 2007 (EST)

:Actually, as it happens, it looks like Rick has produced updated versions of his tools for .33b.  They were built on the 16th.  However he hasn't linked to them.  I don't know why.  The URL they're at requests that no links be made to them, so I'm not going to tell you. Sorry, you'll just have to do the hexedit.<br/>&mdash;[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 02:45, 19 November 2007 (EST)

:I just havn't mirrored them yet, that's all. --[[User:Rick|Rick]] 03:10, 19 November 2007 (EST)
::Hey, I'm curious why the file sizes ballooned.  Reveal went from 52k to 101k, a doubling in size.  Heal grew even more.  Maybe you didn't strip debugging info?<br/>&mdash;[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 15:42, 19 November 2007 (EST)
:::Usage of std libraries mostly. I made a library for working with DF so I wouldn't have to keep duplicating code through projects, and when writing it I figured I might as well make it more friendly for me to code in, hence usage of std:: stuff. --[[User:Rick|Rick]] 19:00, 19 November 2007 (EST)

:Whenever I try to open reveal.exe, the window will open up for a millisecond and then immedietely close. Is this a problem with the program or my windows? I am assuming its windows since everyone else seems to be able to use it. Has anyone else had this problem?--[[User:Varsashi|Varsashi]] 17:59, 26 November 2007 (EST)

::It hasn't been updated to work with 33c, and doesn't. Hopefully it will be updated soon. If you're using 33b, it should open and close quickly but reveal all allocated squares. To allocate all squares for revealing, I'll repeat the advice I've seen elsewhere: go to the lowest level and designate the entire level for digging, then remove the dig designation and run the reveal utility. --[[User:Janus|Janus]] 20:08, 26 November 2007 (EST)

==How to use warp.exe?==
How do you use warp.exe? There's no information on how to use these on the page.--[[User:Demosthenes|Demosthenes]] 02:10, 21 November 2007 (EST)
: <code>warp.exe</code> by itself will list your current cursor position. After you have the position you want to warp a creature to, you do <code>warp.exe <x> <y> <z></code> as arguments, and it will warp the selected creature (selected with 'V'iew) to that destination, if it can. --[[User:Rick|Rick]] 18:10, 21 November 2007 (EST)

==StartProfile==
Perhaps, I don't understand how to use this correctly.  I'm using 33e, and the StartProfile linked in the Utils section.  I'm supposed to use this util at the Prepare for the Journey screen, correct?  I tried testing the export function with the first dwarf, with no skills assigned.  startprofile.exe -x 0 test.txt What I got back was:<br/>

== Patching Lavasquare ==

Due to someone being interested in running lavasquare on version 33g, I determined how to patch the exe to work with later versions. With a hex editor, open lavasquare.exe and find and replace with appropriate values (replace the X's with the values underneath for the version you want). I only tested it for 33f, but I'm assuming that the values for 33g are correct (since I got them off the wiki).

+It's pretty easy to find the addresses for this for new versions. Running the program in the directory with the new version gives you the check= value, and the others are moderately easy to suss. Also, I don't know exactly how it works or why it works, but from C->D->E start and pos were incremented 0x1000 each version, so laziness dictates trying that in future.

+:I've run into this once. Restarting DF fixed the problem. --[[User:SquirrelFarmer|SquirrelFarmer]] 09:50, 29 January 2008 (EST)
-:Try this: rename the "Dwarf Fortress.exe" file to "dwarfort.exe".  Also use put this text in a file named "config" in the Foreman directory:
+== Water ==
-<pre>check=01318B82
-critter_start=014EDFCC
-dwarfidpos=012F9EC0
-profession_start=00000544</pre>
-:That got Foreman working for me under XP.  It is my understanding that there are issues for some Vista users <small>(the Dwarf Fortress executable is being relocated away from its natural base address for some currently-unknown reason)</small>, so this may not work for you.  Please post a reply especially if it does not work for you.<br/>&mdash;[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 00:48, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

+Could someone make an updated version? Having to slaughter anyone who gets injured just because the rain-filling-ponds doesn't work properly yet is annoying. -Shadow_archamgi, February 27 2008

-So, what happened to the utilities such as granite.exe and ore.exe? No mention of them anymore, or did just nobody bother remaking them for 40d? Honestly I still play the old '2D' version of the game without the z axis, so I like being able to find those utils. xD --[[User:Kittenykat|Kittenykat]] 21:37, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

+I can't find the page, but it's a utility that lets you change the temperature of an area and allows for some crazy stuff. Look it up on the forums; I have a community fortress to tend to. --[[User:Penguinofhonor|Penguinofhonor]] 20:18, 3 March 2008 (EST)
