Repeatable zoom to building crash [40c, d]
« on: November 04, 2008, 04:48:52 pm »

This might be related to some of the other zoom to building crashes, though I think those were reported to happen from the 'u'nit and 'j'ob screens. This one happens from the 'r'ooms screen and is highly repeatable, at least for me. Happens every single time.

Get the save file here. Everything is vanilla; I didn't even alter the init file. I first noticed it in 40c, but I replicated it in 40d (which is the file I uploaded).

Press 'r' to open the rooms screen, find the Great Dining Room (should be on the top), press 'q' to zoom to it. Now select one of the thrones and press 'x' to remove it. Once the dwarves have removed the throne, press 'r' for rooms, find the dining room again, and press 'q'. The game will crash.

Something that may help track down why this happens: zooming to the room while the throne is in the process of being removed prevents the crash from occurring after the dwarves have finished removing the throne.

(Just noticed that you don't even need to zoom to the room first. It will still crash if you just open it up, q a throne, remove it, then try to r-q to the room.)

Okay, I've grabbed it.  I have no idea if they are related, but if this one reproduces when I try it out it should be easy enough to fix.
