Hi all,
I did some raw modding during 40d, walked away from the game shortly after 0.31 was released and recently returned to play around with DF2012.
Off course I went back into modding to alter DF to find a way I like it better then it already is.
During this time the "errorlog.txt" is my friend and with it I seem to have managed to clear many errors already... Well I still got a ridiculous amount of errors, but they all look the same except for some numbers.
Subject description already tells something about the problem. I tried to put my full errorlog.txt on the forum, but I got a complaint my post exceeded 40.000 characters.
Anyway according to the MS Word "word counter" option the log goes from Y = 0 to Y = 32 from first to last in 3168 lines (making my errorlog.txt a nice 157 kb).
Savagery preset failed to load X value at Y = 0
(....)
Savagery preset failed to load X value at Y = 32
My raw changes so far have been to:
1. entity_default.txt (removed several alloys and added new ones that I added to the smelter reaction list)
2. reaction_smelter.txt (same as 1.)
3. Inorganic_stone_gem/layer/mineral/soil.txt ( added, and altered minerals, gems and soil)
4. The minerals and gems I do not intent to use anymore I gave the tag: [ENVIRONMENT_SPEC:SLADE:CLUSTER_SMALL:1] so as not to remove it completely from the game (got severe whining in errorlog.txt about some elemental gem/mineral creature not being able to be created and this seemed to fix that in the errorlog.txt at least without having to check all the other raws right away).
It happens when using a seed from the forums, but also when creating a random world.
If anyone happens to know what causes this and would be willing to tell me I would be most gratefull and very happy.
