How do you take screenshots with DFHack installed? If I use Prt Scr or Alt Prt Scr, DFHack apparently changes the active window or something, making it impossible.

I'm using PeridexisErrant's Starter Pack, 40.24-r20.

42.06-alpha1 has a crash when loading up the historical figure for details to make for a statue/figurine.

[lethosor]

Does that occur without DFHack? Can you provide steps or a save to reproduce?

[IAmTheRad]

Does not occur without dfhack.

To reproduce, create a pocket world (Default settings). Embark anywhere, doesn't matter. Build a mason's workshop ASAP, and then make a statue in the workshop. Choose details, and choose to change the image. Select 'historical figure'.

Game will crash with dfhack.

I can confirm this. Happens with my (dfhack 0.42.06-alpha1) game 100% of the time.

Same thing as in adventurer mode apparently, I've got saves where I can launch with ./df and make figurines and ones where I can't at all, but none of them work when I ./dfhack and try to make a figurine.

So apparently my crashes are related to the vanilla bug, but they aren't consistent across saves. All of the saves in the folder I'm playing were made fresh for 42.06 to use the new reactions. One of them works fine with ./df or ./dfhack, but the others crash.

When I try ./df for the crashing ones I get this instead of the usual segfault message though:

Code: [Select]

[xcb] Unknown request in queue while dequeuing
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
Dwarf_Fortress: xcb_io.c:179: dequeue_pending_request: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_unknown_req_in_deq' failed.
./df: line 6: 32410 Aborted                 
(core dumped) ./libs/Dwarf_Fortress "$@"
So... that's weird.

Edit: correction!

One of the saves which I can make figurines in with ./df does not work when I launch with ./dfhack:

Code: [Select]

./dfhack: line 66:   899 Segmentation fault     
(core dumped) setarch i386 -R env LD_PRELOAD="$PRELOAD_LIB" ./libs/Dwarf_Fortress "$@"

I took this after launching with ./df:

I get the above segfault when I try the same thing with ./dfhack.

I can also confirm that running the game with dfhack on the 42.06-alpha1 causes a crash when you attempt to access the historical figures section when editing the details of certain objects such as statues. However, when I embark on a site on a game with dfhack off, I am permitted to access the historical figures.

Strangely, it seems that for forts that have been saved with dfhack on, loading those forts later after having turned off dfhack leads to the same aformentioned crash. It basically looks like this:
>create a fresh embark without DFHack
>able to access the historical figures section when editing the details of certain objects
>save fort, reload fort with DFHack enabled
>crashes when you select the historical figures section
>reload fort with DFHack enabled, save the game (as many here would have had before we noticed the crash), close the game
>turn off DFHack, reload fort that had been saved alongside DFHack, aforementioned crashes continue despite DFHack having been turned off

Does DFHack leave any lingering files in your folders after having DFHack turned off? It feels like I'm muddling this up somehow. Hopefully we can get this issue fixed.

The errorlog shows me "Unrecognized Announcement Token: TRAVEL_ADVISORY" but I don't know if that's really behind the crash.

DFHack saves stuff as historical figures, so that might be it.

DFHack saves stuff as historical figures, so that might be it.

That could definitely be it. We'll have to check whether they're being created properly.

On the bright side it's an excuse to implement persistent data without using historical figures, something I've been putting off.

[Abadrausar]

...implement persistent data without using historical figures...

Could a sqlite database file in the DF game save directory do the thing?

Is there a list of tools that insert fake historical figures?  That might be useful for the pack maintainers to know so they can either turn them off by default or at least warn their users.

Personally I don't use workflow and such, but I also don't do anything to disable the stuff I don't use.

invalid (-1) language id causes segfault
I changed it to 0 with this script(it seems to be not unused for datastoring anyway):

Code: [Select]

local figs = df.global.world.history.figures

for i=0,#figs-1,1 do
   local v = figs[i]
   if v.id<0 then
      print(v.id..' '..v.name.first_name..' '..v.name.language)
      v.name.language = 0
   end
end
and it stopped crashing on figurine-design historical figure choose screen:

edit: this script was integrated in dfhack-alpha2 and runs automatically, and default language was fixed

Sorry for my noobish question, but do you run this script directly in the dfhack console? Or is it applied to a specific file in the save folder? (I have no clue where or how things are stored in the DF files ... )

cheers

[scamtank]

If you're an idiot who doesn't know how to work the lua interpreter like me, just throw those magic words into a text file, save it as filename.lua in \hack\scripts and then use the command "filename" in the console.

Nice work, sv-esk!

Autochop/config Abbeybrew sounds very lonely.
