While I'm confounded on how that could happen, here are the changes I made apart from the raws:

A new song_title.ogg file (Loaded with the .exe, so a possible culprit)
A new Dwarf Therapist (Unlikely the cause, as it's loaded separately from the .exe)
Changes to the tileset (Also unlikely)

The exe file itself was also changed, but that was in 0.95c.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

If these were issues, would replacing the exe with one from vanilla solve the problem? What sort of changes did you make to the .exe in .95c?

[Lycaeon]

I used a binary patched version that fixed a few of the vanilla bugs, but the mod will also work with the vanilla executable. Let me know if that fixes it, so I can re-upload a version with just the vanilla exe.

Edit: After looking up this problem it's possibly the new song_title.ogg file I added. Try deleting it and seeing if it works. The patched exe is not likely the culprit as it worked for you in 0.95c. Your OS and hardware/memory may also be involved.

Bug research update: Deleting the entire data folder and replacing it with one from my vanilla game seems to fix the problem. Maybe the song is the problem after all. ( It's a small bug after all, it's a small bug after all, it's a small bug after all, it's a small, small bug.)

Probably no-one else has reported this bug because they're all too busy trying to stop their computers from BSODing.

The previous song_title.ogg rocked. I actually liked it when the game bugged out and it was playing during gameplay. This new one... has two halves: The first one sounds like some sad lullaby and the second part is what this file used to be. The halves mismatch even to me and I have low musicality. Change it back.

I haven't played 0.98 yet. I have a very nice embark in 0.95c.

[Lycaeon]

I believe it's more of a memory issue, as the opening song file is rather large and is the first thing opened by the executable. I've also experienced no problems in running multiple test Stables on the new version.

I will release an updated version reverted to the original song shortly.

[tahujdt]

Update: song_title.ogg is most definitely the problem. I don't play with music on anyway, so no big deal.

[Lycaeon]

Version 0.98b has been released with the original title song and several minor bugfixes.

Thanks for your help tahujdt!

Zangi: Do you feel the skill rust rates are too high?

Skill rust just pisses me off when my ponies' 1-2 year hiatus from X job is finally resumed.  I am that inefficient with my fort.  Don't take it as a review representing everyone else.

[Maklak]

I haven't noticed any problems with skill rust. If anything, I think it is already slower than in vanilla. My ponies are either specialists, in which case they will get to use their skill at least once per several months or generalists (for things like butchering, threshing, pressing, furnace operating and other jobs that don't influence quality) in which case I don't care much about their skill level.

"Engraved on the wall is an exceptionally designed image of cowardly pegasi"

I wonder if the Enclave will ever find it, and what they'd do

They would find that guy and shoot his/her face... 37 times... and then toss him/her into a pit of ghouls.

I guess I'll just mod them myself to [SHOOT_FORCE:50] (Joules?) and [SHOOT_MAXVEL:300] (m/s?) and see what happens.

Considering that the vanilla values for crossbows are much higher in both cases, I highly doubt that those values are in metric.

[Maklak]

> BB guns.

How SHOOT_FORCE and SHOOT_MAXVEL work is explained in this post. Basically for the kind of small projectiles we get in this mod, the only value that matters is SHOOT_MAXVEL, so increasing that is the thing that can un-nerf the BB guns.

Can't be fixed, thankfully
