Unable to remove dwarves from jobs
« on: August 31, 2006, 03:57:00 am »

Don't know if it's really a bug, but many times when I try to 'r'emove a dwarf from a task using the 'J'obs list, it won't work. The 'r' is white indicating it's possible to use it, but the dwarf doesn't get removed from that job. It tends to happen to fishermen and lumberjacks for some reason, and sometimes haulers when they didn't even reach the thing they tried to haul yet. Is there any conditions in which removing doesn't work?

Also, while I'm here, is there any reason wooden and stone floodgates have different symbols assigned to them? Same goes for wooden and stone doors I think (at least, my stone doors don't look like the door shown in help for object icons, and the 'assigned to put door here' black and white symbol is also not like the stone door symbol).

The doors have different symbols for fun.  The glass portal is different as well.  Given all the prior discussion on that other thread, this might not be the best thing, but those are essentially tiles anyway.

I don't remember what the conditions are off-hand for job removal light up, but I probably mixed something up somewhere.  I can check it out.

it shows up white on "store item in bin" jobs but it doesn't actually work.
