Error log being packed with 'path fail' errors
« on: August 11, 2014, 02:35:30 am »

I'm wondering if this is normal or not. Basically, while playing adventure mode (and these errors sometimes pop up in fortress mode as well) my errorlog is filling with stuff like
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
. I'm not seeing any strange behavior in-game and the errorlog has nothing else aside from these path fail issues. Does this sort of thing happen normally?

I've been getting those too. I believe they came along with climbing/jumping, but it seems you can just disregard them. :)

I get craptons of those from time to time, mainly crundles, but sometimes creeping eyes. Seems to be happening way more than usual.

Not sure if I should make a bug report on it because it doesn't seem normal and might be an indicator of something.

Wish DFhack was working for 40.08 so that I could see what's going on.

Could someone look into this? I REALLY feel like I should post a bug report, but the problem is that the only indicator of what's going on is that underground critters (usually crundles, but others can cause it) create tons of error messages coming from the same spot and there is mild lag ingame.

I would use DFhack to use reveal to see what the hell is causing it, but it's in a buggy state right now and I'm not sure about using it atm. It's just that the problem is too vague 'craploads of errors' and could be anything, plus Toady One fixed some underground animal overpopulation/duplication issues, which may or may not be behind this.
