Ballista ammo spam
« on: October 12, 2006, 08:55:00 pm »
Seems like if you build a ballista and have no ammo to load it, you get spammed like crazy, and the entire game lags badly until you actually have ammo again.  x1000+ messages at a time.

Yeah, I think this is sitting in my stack of message spams to correct...  there are quite a few messages there.

Hi.  Just as a heads-up, this goes for crossbow traps too.  If you have a crossbow trap ready to load, but no bolts handy, the game chokes on hundreds of spam messages.  I've actually abandoned a couple fortresses because of this  :(

The intruder arose, casting off its black cloak.  "Behold, stunted jesters!  It is I, Scuro!"  A jagged scar marked the goblin's face from eye to chin, his greasy mane gray and wild, and about his neck was the broken silver amulet, strapped together by a leather band.

For now, if you [t] then
