Gotta watch your skull with them vampires. You get 2 more tries though!

[Ruhn]

I think several players tried to solve the wildlife problem in the retirement home game. The big problem was a glitch causing all animal life to multiply every time someone entered the fortress site. Most of it was underground in the caverns. I don't think you could take care of the problem with just an adventurer. I believe someone had success by flooding the cavern levels with obsidian using DFHack in reclaim mode... but that created further bugs. Feel free to experiment and try to fix it. And feel free to refer to the other game thread for ideas: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=119384.0

If there is a "part 2" then creating a world with no caverns may provide success.

Now I am scared of FPS death upon arriving at Bloodspire AND death en route to the fortress.

This is going to end horribly.

Edit: Seems to be a problem - if you scroll past the first page of potential adventurers to find an old adventurer, the game crashes. This bug appeared in the Museum thread and seems to plague adventurer succession games. I checked in legends mode, and my successful adventurer Nacu Dragonshins is still alive in the Bloodspire, but I won't be able to play him. Guess I need to make a new guy.

That same bug is also present in the museum succession game. The only workaround so far seems to be to visit your old adventurer in game with a new adventurer, and then use DFhack to bodyswap into your old adventurer. I've added a note to the bugreport , it can't hurt if more instances of this bug are reported. Game crashing bugs are usually high priority.

I also wonder if a fix will be found for the multiplying animals/fps bug. I've had one case were it magically fixed itself in the museum succession game, but despite extensive testing, have never been able to reproduce that. (in the case were it occured, an old fortress in that game (sunkengem) was completely overrun by animals and unplayable, but when I reclaimed the site they had all magically dissapeared. )

Bralbaard, I referenced the Museum in my post, as readin your thread was the first time I had heard of ths bug.

I was disappointed to see that nothing has seemingly been done regarding the bug report that you posted.

I really hope that adventure mode gets some love in the next version as it's what I have been playing most recently!

[Infernal_Dalek]

Color me interested. Sign me up for a turn.

And I apparenly only half-read your post before replying, sorry for that.
Usually there's a big round of bug fixing after a new version is released, a lot of that time is spend on old bugs, because this is a crash bug, and the conditions for the crash can be reproduced, it  will likely have high priority.

Also, adventure mode gets a lot of love next update, in fact it has almost exclusively adventure mode content.

[Sappho]

Yes, I would assume that these adventure mode bugs will be eliminated for the next release, to be replaced by newer, more exciting bugs. ; )

Infernal_Dalek, you've been added to the list.

InsanityIncarnate... Sounds like !!FUN!!

[Orange Wizard]

Alright. I'll finish my turn over the next couple of days... see if I can't do something sort-of-useful.

[Sappho]

It doesn't need to be useful as long as it's interesting. .)

[kesperan]

It doesn't need to be useful as long as it's interesting. .)

And involves carnage, death, spectacularly aggressive wildlife, and/or socks.

Then I shall embark on a quest to collect every sock possible!

[Sappho]

Any progress? I'm eager for more stories. : D

[Orange Wizard]

Sorry, I got distracted by one of my other adventurers, who is currently wiping out every city on the continent with a zombie horde.

Anyway, now when I try loading the Necropia save, DF crashes. I'm not sure what causes it, but it worked fine 30 seconds ago. At least, it worked fine until I tried scrolling to the next page of adventurers.

*facepalm*

[Argonnek]

Yep, common bug. I think it happens after a certain number of adventurers have been played, but regardless it causes crashing if you try to scroll down from the first page of civ selection during adventurer creation.
