<p>DFHack is a Dwarf Fortress memory access library and a set of basic
tools that use it. Tools come in the form of plugins or (not yet)
external tools. It is an attempt to unite the various ways tools
access DF memory and allow for easier development of new tools.</p>

<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id6">Getting DFHack</a></h1>
<p>The project is currently hosted on <a class="reference external" href="http://www.github.com/">github</a>, for both source and
binaries at <a class="reference external" href="http://github.com/peterix/dfhack">http://github.com/peterix/dfhack</a></p>
<p>Releases can be downloaded from here: <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/peterix/dfhack/downloads">https://github.com/peterix/dfhack/downloads</a></p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="compatibility">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id7">Compatibility</a></h1>
<p>DFHack works on Windows XP, Vista, 7 or any modern Linux distribution.
OSX is not supported due to lack of developers with a Mac.</p>
<p>Currently, only the 31.25 version is supported. If you need DFHack
for older versions, look for older releases.</p>
<p>On Windows, you have to use the SDL version of DF.</p>
<p>It is possible to use the Windows DFHack under wine/OSX.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="installation-removal">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id8">Installation/Removal</a></h1>
<p>Installing DFhack involves copying files into your DF folder.
Copy the files from a release archive so that:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>On Windows, SDL.dll is replaced</li>
<li>On Linux, the 'dfhack' script is placed in the same folder as the 'df' script</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Uninstalling is basically the same, in reverse:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>On Windows, first delete SDL.dll and rename SDLreal.dll to SDL.dll. Then remove the other DFHack files</li>
<li>On Linux, Remove the DFHack files.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div class="section" id="using-dfhack">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id9">Using DFHack</a></h1>
<p>DFHack basically extends what DF can do with something similar to a quake console. On Windows, this is a separate command line window. On linux, the terminal used to launch the dfhack script is taken over (so, make sure you start from a terminal).
Basic interaction with dfhack involves entering commands into the console. For some basic instroduction, use the 'help' command. To list all possible commands, use the 'ls' command.
Many commands have their own help or detailed description. You can use 'command help' or 'command ?' to show that.</p>
<p>The command line has some nce line editing capabilities, including history that's preserved between different runs of DF (use up/down keys to go through the history).</p>
<p>The second way to interact with DFHack is to bind the available commands to in-game hotkeys. This is done in the hotkey/zoom menu (normally opened with the 'h' key). Binding the commands is done by assigning a command as a hotkey name (with 'n').
Some commands can't be used from hotkeys - this includes interactive commands like 'liquids' and commands that have names longer than 9 characters.</p>
<p>Most of the commands come from plugins. Those reside in 'DF/plugins/'.</p>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id37">ssense / stonesense</a></h2>
<p>This is an isometric visualizer that is runs in a second window.</p>
<p>This requires working graphics acceleration, at least a dual core CPU (otherwise it will slow down DF) and on Linux, the allegro 5 libraries installed (look for 'allegro5' in your package manager app).</p>
<p>All the data resides in the 'stonesense' directory.</p>

</div>
<div class="section" id="vdig">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id39">vdig</a></h2>
<p>Designates a whole vein for digging. Requires an active in-game cursor placed over a vein tile. With the 'x' option, it will traverse z-levels (putting stairs between the same-material tiles).</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="weather">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id40">weather</a></h2>
<p>Lets you change the current weather to 'clear sky', 'rainy' or 'snowing'.
Fill those ponds without mucking around with dfliquids :D Rain can also stop brush fires.</p>
