Worldgen won't stop when I tell it to
« on: July 11, 2014, 12:02:20 pm »
Worldgen, what are you doing?  Worldgen, stahp!

Seriously, I wanted to stop at Year 100, but it was all "Um, nope!" and ignored my attempts to make it stop, already.  I tried several times. so now I'm patiently (or not) waiting for it to gen a full 250 years.  Good thing I didn't set it for 1500 :D  BTW, this is 40.02 we're talking about.

Anyone else see this?

Nothing other than the default it comes with.

No, normal speed.  It was just annoying, is all.

if you end up having a really long load, and it's not stopping, then it's because it's not registering keypresses while its "Lagging" between each year.
Hold the abort button until it stops, you might have to hold it for a good few seconds depending on how slow its going.

Also, don't gen a world bigger then small
Thats a really bad idea in 40.02.

It's a reverse hostage situation, if you kill the snatchers they'll fill your fort with babies.

LOL now I know that even 250 is too big.  I'll try your suggestion in the future.  Thanks :)

I've found even in .34 that if you want to stop at a specific date it's wise to hit the button 2-3 years before. It's kind of a guessing game how long it will take for DF to register your keystroke.
