The version you posted shouldn't crash the game though, no idea why it would do that. Worst that should happen is no overrides for the sandstone statue/slab.

The problem was in a quantity of my overrides. TWBT needs loading screen.

What exactly does it mean?

[waterphage13]

I made a little reseach and found that crash causes Windows that find peak of CPU (when DF loading textures) and don't see response of DF, then closes programm. DF less crashing, if on mashine no other programms.

Английский, к сожалению, не мой родной язык.
Я провёл небольшое исследование и заметил связь вылетов и нагрузки на процессор во время загрузки текстур. Если нагрузка становится выше критической, то включается функция поиска зависающих приложений. DF не даёт отчёта (интро идёт после загрузки текстур), система  паникует и вырубает DF.
Когда текстур 10-20 это не заметно, но если их тысячи?

rough translation:

Unfortunately, English isn't my naive language.
I did a small research and did notice a correlation between crashes and CPU usage when the textures are loading. If the CPU usage exceeds some critical boundary, a [OS] function starts, which looks for hanging applications. DF doesn't react [to OS request] (intro starts after texture loading), the OS panics and shuts DF down.
When there are 10 to 20 textures, it [the loading time] isn't noticeable, but what if there are 1000s of them?

[DragonDePlatino]

Yes, DF does tend to crash if TWBT hangs for too long. I've found this can be an issue if you're exploring densly-populated areas in Adventure Mode. Without TWBT, the screen can lock up for a few moments whenever the screen is scrolling. With TWBT and even only one or two overrides, this pause becomes long enough to cause that OS function to cut DF.

If DF doesn't crash, then usually TWBT stops working and all onscreen tiles revert back to ASCII. I don't get these crashes when I remove overrides.txt or play Fortress Mode so presumably it's not an issue with raws. I do have a pretty mediocre APU though, so that might be the cause.

I have slightly different experiences. When I first load a map (start a new fort, load a save, etc), the game hangs for 1-2 seconds (Windows claims it's unresponsive), but then proceeds as if nothing happened. It doesn't crash because of this, just hangs for a tiny bit.

same. it even hangs for up to 5 seconds when embarking or loading a savegame in fortress mode. during that time if i hadnt closed DF completely, it shows the last screen TWBT showed (the latest active fort).

Bug report: I'm designing a tileset and I want to use some graphics from the default text tileset as placeholders for a release. If I create an override that uses the default 'text' tileset, DF silently crashes whenever these overridden tiles come into view.

My temporary solution has been to create a copy of the text tileset and use that instead. It resolves the crashes, but it feels wasteful of texture space and makes things more difficult to maintain because any changes to the text tileset need to be duplicated in both files.

Will be fixed in the next build.

Version 6.55 is ready.

I've also finally fixed mapshot command!

[Fleeting Frames]

Nice, that should make it possible to export graphical sets to dfma.

[DragonDePlatino]

Will be fixed in the next build.

Thanks for the fix! This'll be a big help in reducing the number of files to keep track of. Also the new mapshot features looks great. That will streamline creating tileset previews a lot.
