I did some cleaning (actually I just removed most of it).
+
Things I've noticed with tinkering around in 33g.
 +
*"invade?" tag toggles prone position for the target.
 +
*0x1.7(4th row) places and removes the target from the royal guard.
 +
*0x2.7(4th row) places and removes the target from the fortress guard.
 +
*0x4000 second row seems to dictate if the creature has a job or place to go to. Turning it off seems to do nothing, it just turns right back on again, unless the creature is moved in the process of applying.
 +
*0x84, 0x800 and 0x4.5(7th row) make the dwarf friendly oriented instead of a fortress-dweller, much like a merchant.
 +
*0x8 Is only present on dwarves legendary through making an artifact. It could be what keeps them from having another mood.
 +
*0x2000 and 0x2.7(last row) seem to be related to lung-related injuries. Both make a "winded" effect appear on the dwarf. 0x2.7 seems to wear off after a short time.
 +
*0x100(2nd row) does something peculiar. It removes the dwarf from the unit list, and then the dwarf just completely vanishes. Several tags are reset and the dwarf, for all purposes, seems to no longer exist. So far nothing I can find will bring the dwarf back, and several tags used on the dwarf will cause DF to lock up.
 +
*0x400 makes the target invisible to the unit list only, does not seem to have any adverse effects.
 +
*0x8.5(7th row) makes the unit a "visitor" on the unit list. Behaves friendly, not sure what it does otherwise.

== Compatibility with Mods ==
+
Some interesting notes too. Setting a dwarf to hostile, waiting until a nearby soldier is charging to attack, then making them friendly again causes something really interesting. The soldier will kill the now-friendly dwarf, and then that soldier will become a target to all nearby soldiers, despite still being controllable and interactable.
 +
Also, that "staring off into the distance" mood is interesting. I want to see it in action but I can't find a way to actually trigger the mood to act. [[User:Lightning4|Lightning4]] 09:23, 27 December 2007 (EST)

Was working with the Dig Deeper mod, and found that it doesn't work with modded in creatures at all. That's a let-down. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 07:55, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

:Thanks for this update! I'll include them in the next revision. AFAIK 0x8 triggers the "creator of" text, and works on any dwarf. It's quite possible to trigger a mood, i'll try soon triggering an artifical mood. [[User:Bartavelle|Bartavelle]] 11:54, 27 December 2007 (EST)

I'm on 40d, and have followed the instructions on the page, (GTK Win32 runtime, Python 2.5, All three modules, and the Program), started the program up before and after Dwarf Fortress, just to see if I did it wrong the first time, and it doesn't work. The Program just has some category tabs and a few buttons, but never shows any data. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 18:31, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey. It seems that when I give a dwarf a mood, he goes to the meeting area and does nothing. Also, when I change a dwarves mood to NONE, I get an error and the game crashes. [[User:Zonhin|Zonhin]] 21:12, 20 January 2008 (EST)

*Additionally, in case it might help, all I am getting is a single box with Refresh, All Creatures, Only Dwarves, etc. There doesn't seem to be a load function or anything. I'd really appreciate some help with this. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 18:41, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

*Here's a screenshot of what I am dealing with, also: http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h178/Jwguy/Notworking2.jpg . It was also suggested to me that I may need something called Pango, which doesn't seem to be mentioned on the wiki, anywhere. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 21:06, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

** I believe I was able to correct the problem. Apparently, the program is centered around the C:/ drive only. I normally play Dwarf Fortress from my portable hard-drive, and tried initializing the program on both devices. After a bit of trial and error, I moved both to my desktop, and it seems to work, now. Hopefully, if anyone else has this problem, they can fix it like this; I still can't get my dwarves to stop dying from heat after running through a flow of lava, though. I threw them in water, doused the clothes and healed, but I digress. [[User:Jwguy|Jwguy]] 00:31, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

* and mine: "alert me when my hunters run out of bolts so I can draft them to reset their job state and get them to pick up a fresh batch of ammo. It's such a hassle to have to constantly watch hunters just so they don't do something dumb like put their head inside a cougar's mouth. Or even a way to look at the items in a dwarf's inventory would be lovely."

There are a few known bugs :
 
−
* exhaustion is sometimes maxed out when you edit a creature
 
−
* bleeding seems not to be stoppable in most case : just turn the creature undead
 
−
* if there is a problem related to python and/or gtk, just make sure you followed the installation instructions. If it doesn't work anyway, it is unlikely I can help you (would be a python or gtk problem, not a DC problem)

If you happen to see this before the thread on the forums, I posted the bug I'm getting 50% of the time while traveling in adventure mode with the new version of DC in [38a].

Most Dwarves acquire dabbling level in all the social skills very quickly, which leaves these skills at the top of their skill list for all time. Even if they later become a Legendary Mason, you still have to scroll down to see it. Can you add something that reorders their skills by highest level, so the things they're best at show up first?  --[[User:Oddrune|Oddrune]] 05:19, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

When I first tried to use DF Companion, it gave me an error message that stated Libglib-2.0-0.dll was missing. So I went and downloaded it, put it in the right place. Then it said I needed iconv.dll, so I went and downloaded it. Then it made me get intl.dll.

I was tinkering about with the Dwarf Companion program earlier today, when a thought came to my mind. "What if you could do stuff with this program in Adventure mode?"
 
  
−
Well, it turns out that you can. By turning on the program and hitting the "All Creatures" box, you can access any loaded creature as well as your own adventurer. By doing this, you can make him as strong and legendary as you want, and effectively kill anything within the sector. You can also change your character into any creature in the game, including demons, goblins, etc. (NOTE: 'Shapeshifting' like this renders the tile where you changed un-passable, and you tend to teleport when you do so. Also, when I changed into a dragon, the game crashed.) Moods are also able to toggle, though I've only tested them upon my own adventurer. Going beserk in a human town triggered the mayor to start attacking me, but when I turned it off, he became friendly once again.
+
==How exactly do I run this?==
 +
What do I run here? The .glade file? Because if I open that, it gets me a tiny window with 2 things I can choose, skilledit and creatureedit. If I choose them, they are completely blank. I've tried cmd.exe but I get the same thing. --[[User:Penguinofhonor|Penguinofhonor]] 21:23, 21 January 2008 (EST)

== Additional in-game languages (v0.17) ==
 
−
 
 
−
If you have additional languages modded into the game, out-of-the-box DwarfCompanion 0.17 will bomb with an error:
 
−
<blockquote>
 
−
  File "[PATH]\dwarfdbg.py", line 477, in getCreature
 
−
    name = self.getName(c, details)
 
−
  File "[PATH]\dwarfdbg.py", line 323, in getName
 
−
    lastname = self.printName(table, lang)
 
−
  File "[PATH]\dwarfdbg.py", line 219, in printName
 
−
    lastname += self.rwords[lang][v]
 
−
IndexError: list index out of range
 
−
</blockquote>
 
−
 
 
−
To make it work, count the number of languages you have (but not language_SYM.txt).
 
−
 
 
−
Find the line in dwarfdbg.py which reads:
 
−
 
 
−
:for race in range(4):
 
−
 
 
−
Replace the 4 with the number of languages you have, run again, and it should work fine.
 
−
 
 
−
As of 0.17c this is no longer necessary.

I'm not sure if you actually check this, but here goes anyway.

I have all the other things installed (GTK, PYCairo, etc.), and when I click it, it simply opens a black window for a moment and closes. So I tried to run it through the command prompt, and it comes up with the following error:

A similar thing happens when I try to use the executable version:

What does this mean? How do I fix it? Did I do something stupid and obvious to mess it up? [[Special:Contributions/69.109.124.77|69.109.124.77]] 09:37, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Try running version 0.16:  version 0.17 is for DF 40d16 only which may not be the version you are running. [[Special:Contributions/12.71.14.197|12.71.14.197]] 13:42, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

== tried running through the cmd.exe but I keep getting "the directory name is invalid" ==
 
−
 
 
−
It was flashing the black window so I tried to run it through run/cmd.exe, however it says that the directory name is invalid. I have tried several solutions, such as surrounding it with quotes (helps a little bit but not much), but I still can't get it to run. Which is a pity because I was looking forward to this.  Suggestions?

Edit: I made the window flash enough times to get a glimpse of what was written, and it looks like I have a similar problem to the above poster.    Pleeeeease respond, someone?  :(

As above:  try running version 0.16:  version 0.17 is for DF 40d16 only which may not be the version of DF that you are running.  [[Special:Contributions/12.71.14.197|12.71.14.197]] 13:43, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

♥Many♥ thanks, lets try it now!  ☺

I'm having the same problems as the above, though with both executable versions of companion. I'm on DF 31.25. (does it even support this?)
 
−
 
 
−
Running the exe flashes with cannot find DF, Command prompt is no exception, any suggestions?

This error message repeats twice, and I get an extremely tall, spaced window that cannot be resized. Anyone know what the deal with this is?

This doesn't seem to have been updated since 40d.  It might be helpful to have a header to reflect that. [[Special:Contributions/130.160.154.207|130.160.154.207]] 00:51, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
