world generation getting stuck
« on: April 21, 2008, 07:46:00 am »

is there anything that may cause it? on a fresh DF installation it takes me a few seconds to generate a 65x65 world, on the one i use (with a customized tileset and some ini tweaks) i quit my last attempt after more than two hours and over 20000 rejects :/

There is a known bug where sometimes world gen will never finish. Toady hasn't been able to find it however.

If you want to generate a world then just quit and start DF up again.

Nah, it was fixed on March 2nd, I just haven't been able to release.  If it's there, go into data/init and delete the world generation parameter file.  It doesn't know how to load it correctly.
