Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
DFHack is a Dwarf Fortress memory access library, distributed with
|
|
a wide variety of useful scripts and plugins.
|
|
|
|
The project is currently hosted at https://www.github.com/DFHack/dfhack,
|
|
and can be downloaded from `the releases page
|
|
<http://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/releases>`_.
|
|
|
|
All new releases are announced in :forums:`the bay12 forums thread <139553>`,
|
|
which is also a good place for discussion and questions.
|
|
|
|
For users, it provides a significant suite of bugfixes and interface
|
|
enhancements by default, and more can be enabled. There are also many tools
|
|
(such as `workflow` or `autodump`) which can make life easier.
|
|
You can even add third-party scripts and plugins to do almost anything!
|
|
|
|
For modders, DFHack makes many things possible. Custom reactions, new
|
|
interactions, magic creature abilities, and more can be set through `modtools`
|
|
and custom raws. Non-standard DFHack scripts and inits can be stored in the
|
|
raw directory, making raws or saves fully self-contained for distribution -
|
|
or for coexistence in a single DF install, even with incompatible components.
|
|
|
|
For developers, DFHack unites the various ways tools access DF memory and
|
|
allows easier development of new tools. As an open-source project under
|
|
`various copyleft licences <license>`, contributions are welcome.
