It only happens when moving the viewport IIRC.

Das did a short video explaining the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDbuQ8CnGm0

i see the same problem with multilevel=0 in Phoebus.
It still occurs in the latest version.

Ok, I have found what's causing crashes.

TWBT processes overrides on a separate thread while the simulation is running. That's bad, but I expected it to cause problems only in rare case of some specific items/buildings being destroyed while TWBT is processing corresponding overrides. But now I saw this:



The game reallocates block_index array for some reason while TWBT is processing tiletype overrides, and that's causing TWBT to access wrong address and crash. There are several ways to deal with this, I think (I don't want to process overrides synchronously and slow down the simulation), I'll try them soon.

This is fantastic news!  Thanks for your perseverance - it's obvious that tracking this down was not easy.

If I knew any programming I'd offer to help, but all I can do is wish you good luck in fixing it!

Thanks for the update! To install this, I just drag all the files from the /twbt-5.66-osx/0.43.03-r1/ folder into the /df_osx/hack/plugins/ folder, right?

Do I need to also put /twbt-5.66-osx/realcolors.lua into the /df_osx/hack/lua/ folder?

Yes.
You can copy realcolors and even try to use, but it's not related to the main twbt functionality.

Thanks for the help. I found some instruction for realcolors.

It looks installing the realcolors lua doesn't change anything in existing packs unless they are specifically modified to make use of it.

To make an item use its real color, it just needs to have its foreground color in its object file set to "100", right? And then all the background colors get displayed as normal.

realcolors.lua is just a script (btw it should go to /scripts, not to /lua) that processes all materials and sets tile colours to be real material colours. Of course it doesn't change anything unless you run it.

so how do i use it then? and where do i get it?

I've made some more crash fixes (hopefully) that need testing, both fortress mode and adventure mode are affected.

Build for 0.42.06 https://build.mifki.com/build/808
Build for 0.43.03 https://build.mifki.com/build/809

The HTTPS-Auth is outdated. i cant open the links.

Thank you!

Please don't distribute these two builds until they've been tested for some time.

DAOWAce, if you could update and play for some time with redraw_all and multilevel.

How else to test than to allow a lot of people to use them?

There were people who experienced crashes, I was hoping they could try.
But yeah, I don't mind, it's up to you.
