Legends viewer
Is there going to be a legends viewer (not legends mode) made for this version?

Oh, I was searching for this... honestly, I "play" more legends than the real game. =P
I thought this version had an "integrated" Legends viewer mode...
Any of the "classic" Legends viewers work with this version? O.O

The integrated legends mode is okay, Its no legends viewer, but its a big step up to the old one. Legends viewer mod will come out eventually out.

hello, no its not okay, you can't even use it while in a save or from the main menu unless you abandon your fort, that is something that could be patched, what confuses me is the choice of not integrating it because from a technical point of view it is 100% feasible.

If its so easy get on it bud, I'll be waiting for the mod.

I don't think any of them can work because I haven't found a way to export the legends information in the steam version, the buttons for the xml's don't exist anymore

Anyways the best we have right now to remedy this is you can start a game in the existing world and after that menu, you will see the Legends. After that you can exit without actually starting a new game. hope this helps.

That's just normal legends mode though? They specifically were not asking for that lol.

AFAIK, that was like this, forever O.O
You had to do a backup, abandon, and review the legends in the new one, if you wanted to look what achievement or influence your fort had in the world.
And yes, we were searching for a way to use the viewers with the steam version, which is not possible.
Well, I was more into asking if the legends was a thing in the steam one and I'm glad it is but alas, as someone said... "it's not legends viewer".

You can't export legends data at all. I tried using DFHack export command but the old version isn't set up to recognise the new legends viewer as being in legends mode, so won't work.

Once the data can be exported though it should be easy to get the old legends viewer to extrapolate the data and present it in a nice way. Theoretically....

It appears you can export XML now, since this comment... but I'm still rooting around for an application that'll improt and draw the maps for me (the part still not present in the vanilla game itself, so far as I can tell.)

Have you tried using the Legends viewer thats not on Steam? if that works i would love to see a video on how to do it. Im pretty tech savy but some things take someone showing me how the first time. Ive got the DF Hack from Steam but im still learning that
