The timing of this is litteraly perfect. Like 2 days ago I was thinking how much I miss the classic DF legends viewer, and here you are, releasing it for steam, this is amazing 😁

[@vtier9375]

We have Kromtec to thank for the hard work! I just made the video because it's so great and every df player needs to know about it.

[@efkanatorius9471]

@vtier9375 Yeah, my apologies, as soon as I wrote that I realised that Kromtec is the actual creator. Either way, thanks for showing it off! Would of not even known this was out if not for this video popping up in my feed

[@efkanatorius9471]

@vtier9375 I also have a question, do you know if this is usable with modded content? For example custom races? I used to use Legends Browser, but on that one, modded content would usually show up as "UNKNOWN"

[@vtier9375]

​@@efkanatorius9471 Good question. I'm using some mods without issues, but I'm not sure which ones would break it. Probably like you said, it'd show up as unknown. I listed the mods I used in this playlist description: kzbin.info/aero/PL_TIS-U5neCLwzC7CarRG1kds1HJGPqOJ I dont have any mods that add races so can't say on that

[@vtier9375]

@@efkanatorius9471 No worries! And good! It's awesome and I definitely want to let more people know about it!

[@nijin_plays]

amazing work! so glad to see this old graphical chart style of interface back in action

[@arex3632]

damn what a banger of a song, I've been jamming along of the entire video

[@vtier9375]

it's stuck in my head so bad (so good?) I can't stop hearing it I can't sleep or talk only jam

I fantasize about the day we have something similar inside fortress mode using libraries and knowledge available to your civ. For now, ill work on integrating with my ollama setup and see if i can build a chatbot to ask questions about my world

[@vtier9375]

I fantasize about this too! And maps! I read the maps are limited by the current DF build, that it doesn't export all of the map data or something, but it will be fixed in a future update. I've also looked into using ollama to query my worlds. You can use retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with ollama and feed it the website LegendsViewerNext creates. Basically you scrape the web interface, turn it into text files, and pipe it into the RAG for ollama. Then it has access to your worlds info!!

[@MaJetiGizzle]

Been actually working on something similar myself. What’s the approach you’ve been taking to hook up a world to an LLM? I keep on hitting dead ends with RAG and GraphRAG seems waaaay too expensive.

[@MaJetiGizzle]

@@vtier9375I think that would mostly work, but the web data might end up being too disjointed, which is why I tried the GaphRAG route, but it ended up being too expensive. Perhaps an API to the web app could be opened up that an LLM could call?

[@MaJetiGizzle]

@@vtier9375Still seems like the output would end up being too disjointed with RAG alone. Perhaps you could open up an API that an LLM could call as opposed to scraping the web interface?

[@Glibling4]

Such a cool program

[@victorwisp]

me seeing that my world only has 3,5% dorf pop.. o.o

[@vtier9375]

time to repopulate. or at least genocide some of the other civilizations (I mean the goblins).

[@TheKetsa]

wtf...
