I'm running Windows 7 with MDF V.4g.

Whenever I try to execute DF quickly from the MDF GUI (such as click DF, close DF, click DF again), the following error message usually pops up:

Code: [Select]

Masterwork Dwarf Fortress

There has been a problem saving file F:\MasterworkDF V4g\Dwarf Fortress\runProgram.bat.

Error: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'F:\MasterworkDF V4g\Dwarf Fortress\runProgram.bat' is denied.

I'm not sure about the specifics, but I think runProgram.bat isn't being deleted immediately.  I've moved MDF to a non-Library folder and this problem still exhibits itself.  It makes it really difficult to change settings quickly.

The problem resolves itself after some time.  Usually about a minute, but can take significantly longer.  Trying to use Unlocker on the file doesn't yield results, and running MDF as administrator doesn't fix the problem.

It makes it really difficult to change settings quickly.

I dont know about the error, but changing setting does not require a newstart. Only a new worldgen.

The only things that need you to restart DF are the changes in the init and d_init, which are the options on the first tab of the GUI.

Those were the settings I was changing.  The workaround was to just edit the text in init.txt and d_init.txt.

does launching the random creature generator cause the same error? Edit: i missed the part about open/closing df quickly. i'm going to see about removing that bat file altogether..
