[39f] Post-HFS fort can't be reclaimed (Spoilers I suppose)
« on: August 17, 2008, 08:21:47 am »
I lost a fort to HFS.

I then ran in and lost an adventurer to HFS.

However, now I'm trying to reclaim.  However, whenever I try to reclaim that fort, I get a windows error.  One of those generic 'error report' windows that tells you jack all.

It does this every time.

Save file is here:  http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=439

Anyway, if you reclaim the last fort in the list, Edemiton, ("KeyHalls"), it blows up as soon as you press "e" on the reclaim fort selection screen.  Other forts in that world are reclaimable.

Well, OK, except the lead HFS problem died.

Anyway, I should still be able to launch a reclaim.  The problem actually extends to going there at all.  Adventurers going in crash to desktop when they arrive.

Okay, I've figured this out.  One of the

tore off somebody's pig tail trousers with both hands, and when it was repopulating the site, it deleted the trousers in preparation for

(which it wouldn't have ended up doing since

, but it still called the deletion part).  It wasn't prepared for clothing being held in two slots, so there was an indexing problem and it died.  That's fixed now, so the reclaim works fine for the upcoming version.  I also stopped it from calling the deletion in the first place, and put in a further check to make sure the item is worn, so

Hey great!  Thanks for identifying as well as fixing the problem.  It's an amusing one anyway.

The game crashed due to the sheer horror of what immediately followed that action.
