Dwarven Surveyor
A downloadable tool
Dwarven Surveyor is a tool used to visualize maps generated in Dwarf Fortress. You can access Legends mode in the game and generate an xml dump of your world, along with an xml plus file generated by the external tool DFHack and then use those two .xml files to visualize your world map and its sites.
If you want to see how this was made, I suggest checking out my video on it!
0.4
Added a settings screen with a button to reset the resolution to FullHD
It seems that the UI breaks when the program is opened on a 4K monitor. If you click the button, it should reset the resolution to 1920x1080 pixels. It should also save the resolution and keep it.

I'm running this on a 3840x2160 display and the program doesn't seem to format correctly to my monitor. I have 2 monitors, so I'm thinking it may have something to do with the tool trying to format to stretch over both monitors (just a guess).
Hey, I will give it a look. I'll try to simulate your resolution and see if I can fix it.
Okie-dokie, thank you much for taking the time to respond!
Yeah, I'm taking a look and it just breaks completely on such a massive resolution. Do you have another smaller monitor to run DS on?
Nope, just the 2 4Ks. Oh well, I can deal with it. Thanks, Iggy!
Hey, Iggy... I found out how to remedy the problem I was having with the UI formatting I was having. In the app's shortcut properties I set the command-line arguments "-screen-width" and "-screen-height to 1920 and 1080 respectively and voila, the app is now displaying correctly
Oh... huh, interesting! In that case I might be able to devise a solution! Let me check again :)
Hello once again, I have added a button that does what you did (setting it to 1920x1080) and saves it on the preferences, so hopefully you can just click that button and then you don't have to worry about command line stuff. Let me know if it works, if not I can patch it quickly!
All looks good in 0.4! It actually looked fine on startup, and I didn't even need to press the button (I did anyway, and nothing happened). So thank you, Iggy!
Awesome, thanks!!
Hey cool project! Have you considered a native Linux build? Now that DF natively supports Linux I would love to be able to try and use this without tinkering with WINE and whatnot :)
I would but I am but a humble unity/windows developer and I have no idea how to do that! haha
unsure if this is fully made in unity, but if it is, unity has official linux build support. all you have to do is add one of the two "linux build support" options in the module settings for whatever version of unity this tool is built in. then you can change the build os from windows to linux there
i would try using the mono version because people seem to recommend that over il2cpp
(also, take this with a grain of salt, because i haven't actually made linux builds of my projects in unity)
If it is THAT EASY then I can give it a try and see if it works!
Is this a mod????
Hey! Not quite, it's more like an external tool/helper that helps you visualize data with exported files! I hope you enjoy! 😋😬📮
