Dwarf Fortress starter pack - start DFHack
I would like to try the Stonesense overlay option. I started with downloading the perdrixerrant's Dwarf fortress starter pack that already contains it and trying to launch it from there.
Unfortunately a couple of hours of searching through menus, options, files, googling and reading around led me to believe that the only way for doing it would be through the DFHack console that should normally launch in parallel at the same time as the game.
Unfortunately in my case it doesn't start on it's own and I can't find a way to start it.
Any help with doing it would be greatly appreciated.
Edit:
The starter's pack was downloaded from http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=7622 (linked from the bay12 forum post describing the Stonesense overlay add) and the file is the 40_06 r1 version.
