devel/find-offsets

Warning

THIS SCRIPT IS STRICTLY FOR DFHACK DEVELOPERS.

Running this script on a new DF version will NOT MAKE IT RUN CORRECTLY if any data structures changed, thus possibly leading to CRASHES AND/OR PERMANENT SAVE CORRUPTION.

To find the first few globals, you must run this script immediately after loading the game, WITHOUT first loading a world. The rest expect a loaded save, not a fresh embark. Finding current_weather requires a special save previously processed with devel/prepare-save on a DF version with working DFHack.

The script expects vanilla game configuration, without any custom tilesets or init file changes. Never unpause the game unless instructed. When done, quit the game without saving using die.

Usage

devel/find-offsets all|<global names> [nofeed] [nozoom]

  • global names to force finding them

  • all to force all globals

  • nofeed to block automated fake input searches

  • nozoom to disable neighboring object heuristics
