Depot Problems
« on: July 09, 2010, 06:12:26 am »

Whilst upgrading a save from 31.03 to 31.08 (I know, I'm a bit behind and all...), I seem to have run into a problem; namely that I can't trade anything!  :-\

Every time I go to the depot and try to mark some items for trading, DF just crashes. And to be honest, it's getting a little annoying now, especially since it was working fine before I moved the save to the new version.

So I was just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem and if they did, how they fixed it?

Considering how much has changed between .03 and .08, I wouldn't be surprised if the saves weren't compatable with the new version in some ways. Might just have to make a new fort I'm afraid.

Alot is being changed right now and the -new- version is like, right around the corner .. and your fort probably won't work in this version either.

Sucks.

Did you try making and using another depot? Maybe only depots made in old version have this problem.

The only dragon I've seen in game walked into my rats nest of a fortress and died in the flames of the conflagration he started in the dining hall.  Of course, nearly every dwarf was dead by then, but we consider it a tactical victory.

upgrading one version to the next in a way of 0.3 0.4 0.5 and everytime saving again might smooth a little try it (backup save first as this also allows for corrupting)
Another way might indeed be to try and rebuild trade depot or stop trading in this fort altogether.
