(Version 38c)

I caught a titan in a cage.

I put him, in the titan cage, at the bottom of my moat shaft that I rigged sort of a waterfall to spill into when I pull the lever to my Floodgate of Drowning.

I sealed the titan cage in there and pulled the Floodgate of Drowning.

When the water in the moat of drowning got about 4 deep, I went to examine the titan from my nits menu.

The game crashed. It was sorry for the inconvenience.

Do you have a save from before the crash?  If so, does it reproduce?

[Benitosimies]

Okay, yeah. I think I copied it right and have it saved from the right time.

What's the uh... protocol here? Do you want the zipped save in an e-mail?

(Also I think I found out you can't drown a creature in a cage. Or titans can hold their breath for weeks.)

I'll need the region folder in some kind of zip/rar/7z, and any new objects that were added to the raw folder.  If it's less than 20 megs, you can send it to toadyone@bay12games.com.  You can also try The Dwarf Fortress File Depot which has a special section for bugged saves.

[Benitosimies]

Oh, right. That is what you tell people.

Anyway, it's on its way.

EDIT: It's up. I don't have anything modded or anything, just the game straight off of bay12games.

Okay, I've downloaded it and I'll take a look at some point.

[Toady One]

Okay, this has been fixed for next time.  Apparently it'll crash if you press v-i any time you don't have a unit in view.  edit:  I guess you have to force that by viewing the cage, since it'll always focus on a unit once found one (you can also get the crash by pressing v in an empty Z level and then pressing i).

Ya, cages work like putting the creature into suspended animation. They don't have to eat, drink, or breathe. The exception is children in a goblin babysnatcher's bag. The only way to kill a creature in a cage with a drowning chamber is to hook a lever up to the cage to release the creatures inside when the water is full.
