Advmode bug when trying to load previous adventurer
« on: May 07, 2014, 09:11:56 am »
The game crashes when attempting to load an old adventurer. I created two separate worlds, ran a fort on each for about 5 years. Then I abandoned and started an adventurer, then retired him. When going back into advmode, I press the Up key to try and scroll to the old adventurer (since he'll be the last on the list) and the game just crashes. Hitting Page Down also causes the same crash. I am using fortress defense races on both worlds. Is this a known bug or has it got something to do with the fortress defense races?

I don't know what could cause that.

Redownloaded MW, and genned a new world with no fortress defence races enabled, mostly default settings (turned off food variety, fear the night, smoke effects, battle cries, and all balance changes except harder farming. Enabled english names.) Also, I enabled human bandits.



The moment I try to scroll down to the next page, this happens. I am perplexed. I had one world where this worked, but I can't be sure if it was in v.4j or v.4i. But so far, none of the saves that I confirmed is genned on 4j works. I'll test more if I have time tomorrow.

Edit: Note that I started a new adventurer then retired him. I also ran a fort for 1 season before abandoning.

I tested another possible cause of this problem: World gen. As it turns out, using the default worlds (I hate those) such as medium and small regions will not result in the crash, at least on v4i. It seems that the problem lies with one of the following: Megabeast cave numbers, semi-megabeast cave numbers, or titan numbers. I have genned a new world using the default medium region, with these three changed to very high numbers as follows: 5000, 2500, 500 in that order. I wish I had time to narrow down to one of these, but I've got work early tomorrow.
