40d11 Changed Some Scripts.... Major Bug maybe...
« on: June 01, 2009, 09:59:50 pm »

Not sure if this is from my own fault or not.

I had custom scripts made for some extra cave plants, just 3 of them.

When i would gen worlds, the new plants would appear at the bottem of the rest of the above ground plants.

So i moved the new plant scripts, to the original file and placed them underneath the original cave plants in "matgloss_plant.txt"

I moved the new scripts from "matgloss_plant_new.txt" After i moved them, i deleted this file.

When i generated a new world, i found one i liked a lot. But when i got to the embark screen, it showed 3 extra plants without names. In the seeds category,  alcohol and extracts. All had extra items in the lists but they had no names.

I figured as long as i didnt buy those items i wouldnt have no problems.

So well what do you know, i get some kind of depot bug, Traders come to my site, and the depot decommissions for some reason, So as the traders are leaving, they drop a pile of that bugged crap onto my Road way.

Of course i can hide it, no big deal, but when ever i change it from forbidden to unforbidden, anytime someone trys to pick up those bad items, the game crashes, or if i use "k" to go move over the pile, it crashes.

So well.... I assume i did something wrong some how. Or maybe this is some relevant bug.

My map is still playable, i just cant pick up anything from that pile. So well, if you want a copy of the map and my whole dwarf fortress folder, ill up load it for you toady if you think you need it.

It's probably an erroneous mod crashing the game (can't rule out a bug, though).  Please post your custom "scripts" (they're usually called raws, after the folder in which they reside) so that we can take a look.

Also, can you explain what you mean here?  Are they at the bottom of a list of plants or something?

When i would gen worlds, the new plants would appear at the bottem of the rest of the above ground plants.

Oh ok well for your second thing.

Whne i said

"When i would gen worlds, the new plants would appear at the bottem of the rest of the above ground plants."

The Original Custom Script for the new plants i made was "Newplants.txt" Name doesnt matter, but it was in a different file from the original scripted plants.

But when i went to a food stock pile and went to seeds or plants, the new cave plants i made would appear at the bottem of the list of plants.

So i changed the scripts finaly so that i moved the new cave plants to be located in the Raw files, under the Normal Plant script file.


....i hope that makes sence, im a bit tired....
