It's related to the fact that you have Werewolf civ turned off, while some of the items in the raws are still looking for deactivated werewolf bits.

These kind of issues can be hard for Meph to test himself because there's no way for him to play with every possible combination of GUI settings.  A lot of times this sort of thing will "fail gracefully" and don't cause serious crashes but, you never know.  Still definitely worth reporting.

[CheeseHolePete]

Ahh, ok. Well thank you for the quick response. I suppose my best bet is to just turn the werewolf civ on then as I am not in any way proficient enough to start messing in the raws.

I appreciate the info. Maybe this will help Meph in later versions, either way thanks 

[CheeseHolePete]

And just an FYI, the error log seems to just FILL with this message over and over again, as it seems to keep trying and trying. Eventually my game just totally bombs.

[Putnam]

No, it only does that when it loads the raws.

the errorlog you posted does not affect the FPS at all.

[CheeseHolePete]

Hm. well the game consistently crashes on me every time. The FPS are actually perfectly ok (150) all the way up until the crash.

Is there any other log I can look into to see what may be the cause?

[Meph]

Did you try running the game without dfhack? If its a consistent crash, at the same date, you can upload the save if you want.

[CheeseHolePete]

Damn, I just went ahead and deleted the world and am trying to regen a new one. If I have any other issues, I will try without DFHack.
If this doesn't resolve it, I will save and upload if it helps.

I noticed that it would run pretty well generally for like I said 15 minutes, but it didnt seem to happen at the same time every time. It actually seemed to happen if I would use the command "reveal" in DFHack and go down a few z levels.

I played plenty of Masterwork DF on medium maps in previous versions, but for whatever reason, it crashes pretty consistently on medium maps on this version. Hopefully I'll figure it out.

Thanks for your time.

[CheeseHolePete]

Well after trying to generate about 6 or 7 medium worlds, the game crashes every time in world gen mode. I have no idea what the problem is or any idea of how I would diagnose it.

Sad too, as I have played several earlier versions of Masterwork DF with medium worlds with really no problems whatsoever. My computer has been upgraded too.

Wish I knew what to do, but I guess I'll just try vanilla for awhile


Only major thing I notice is that it seems to just LOCK UP and crash when I use the mouse wheel to zoom in or out on the screen (to see the whole map and make the text smaller or larger).
This seems to just kill the whole game. I'm using Masterwork Font and Obsidian graphic pack...

Is it something to do with true type maybe?

rendermax enabled?

[CheeseHolePete]

No, it hasn't been enabled.

Strangely, now trying starfox or mayday tilesets from main GUI, the whole generation process works just fine and seems a lot smoother, although I'm still afraid to zoom in or out during map gen process.

Should I try rendermax? My comp has a decent processor and video card and runs most modern games relatively well.

[CheeseHolePete]

Verified now 100% ===

Any time I try scrolling my mouse wheel even after world gen mode has finished and I'm looking for a sutable embark site, if I use the mousewheel to zoom in or out of map, dwarf fortres.exe stops working...

Weird eh? I have no idea why it would do this. This happens regardless if its mayday, starfox, obsidian etc.

Found this... Maybe has somethiong to do with it. I don't know.

[smakemupagus]

No, sorry, just the opposite; the only thing that I've ever heard of causing a problem like you're describing is Rendermax.  the lighting redraw system is incompatable with zooming, or something like that. 

[slay_mithos]

TWBT also caused a glitchy renderring for someone on the embark map when using the zoom.

[CheeseHolePete]

I'm going to do a clean install of the whole thing and try again. I really have a suspicion it's truetype. Thing is though, I hit f12 to "try" to turn it off on main screen.

I just have no idea if it turned off or not, as hitting f12 didn't give me any prompt like "true type is now off" etc.

So, I hit f12 one time, just assuming it turned truetype off and barely scrolled my mousewheel... the text got one step larger and CRASH.

hehe. This is kind of crazy.

Also, I embarked, being very careful not to scroll my mousewheel until in the game on a map with my dwarves, and then scrolled the mousewheel and got for a split secon a very wavy diagonal screen with font going all over the place and immediate crash...

Thanks for your input on this regardless. Hopefully I'll get it sorted out.
