Why so much fire?
« on: April 11, 2012, 07:55:33 pm »
I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing this... I don't even know where to begin looking for the problem.
Just every now and then I'll start a new game up.. and BAM. The wagon seems to light on fire and spreads out over the entire map and everything DIES. It's happened 3 times now I think... and it's really annoying!

Am I picking areas that are so warm the wagon just bursts into flames? Or do I keep spawning pyromaniac dwarfs....
WTF is happening here? I would love it to stop!
Sorry if this problem was covered somewhere... I tried to look it up but... ??? I've never heard of maps just lighting themselves on fire before.

Do you have any mods installed?  (Graphics packs and tilesets count as mods, BTW.)

I do have a tile set! I'll have to do some searching to figure out what one it is though...
But really, a tile set can be causing my maps to light on fire? @__@

Everything spontaneously catching on fire when you embark can be the result of mangled material definitions, which can happen as a result of duplicate raw file entries.  Some graphics packs, if not installed properly, can cause duplicate raw entries, which completely break the game.

That is completely horrible and awesome at the same time. I guess I'll just.. Delete everything and re-install!
Thank youu!~ I was starting to go a bit crazy there.

You should embark on an elven retreat first. You can burn all the elves into extinction.
