Dark Ages [40.24][R5] Update Status:

For the first time since the release of DF 40.01 updating Dark Ages has become massively problematic. I'm hoping I've done something dumb with the raws, but it seems like Dark Ages might be reaching some sort of world gen tipping point.

Meaning, any change I make to the raws results in early and constant crashing during world gen.

I have spent a huge amount of time rolling back to [R4] and making tiny incremental changes. I will continue to do so. I even have an [R5] version that is stable enough for release, but not quite what I wanted. 

The only remaining culprits are the updates I have made to vampires. But I don't see how or why these minor adjustments would result in such woeful instability. This could be a crossroad for this mod, so I wanted to keep players informed.

Do you have a link for the crashing raws? I can't promise anything, but I can try look at the thing at least.

Thank goodness. I'll try to post [R5] tonight.

[Buel]

Accidentally posted my question on the old one. How does one get the gunsmith forge and alchemy shop? Blue prints or?

[Max™]

Hmmm, weird that the vampire changes would crash you, but I've got it trimmed down to just the three master types and the randomly generated ones atm, though they work great.

I'm doubtful about the vampire changes being problematic. And yeah [R4] works like a charm.

Didn't post yet, but I discovered a weird thing... I really don't get. I added Vampire Bats that carry the lesser vampire curse. When I remove mountain biomes and forest biomes (there were way too numerous) [R5] crashes every single time early in world gen.

I've seen crashing before when overpopulating biomes, but never from reducing populations. And this mainly impact small worlds. 

[Knight Otu]

That is weird. I can't say I've observed crashing from a lack of biomes before.

This issue has been resolved. Excessively old domestic animals and the extreme popularity of Vampire Bats among evil races was breaking the world. Not anymore! A large update is incoming.

If you don't see a "starter pack launcher (pylnp).exe" file after you unzipped the download, then check your antivirus quarantine. It may have been bounced there.     

[Buel]

Its there, but i dont see a mods tab! D:

Hmmm, I'm still wondering whether it is something that I left out when I plucked your vampires or something else I have in place that keeps bites from spreading vampirism.

Totally adore you though for getting me to play around with interactions and stuff as it helped make a lot of modding more productive, I'm still trying to decide if it would be worth the risk to try and add a "Martial Trance" interaction which activates the bullet time vampire speed effect... it's sooooo fun being able to smack someone off their feet, run by and feed on them in mid-air, then wait for them to land and smack them back the other way like some sort of less horrible version of tennis.

...but then I'd have to deal with possibly screwing up the controls on the effect and having random dorf civvies punching my brains out in hyperspeed.

Oh okay. The mod is already fused right in. No need to do anything else.

I thought the main reason vampirism doesn't spread is that the victim is typically killed by blood drain. The megabeast vampires in Dark Ages specifically have bite interactions, as do all the animal forms.

[Buel]

Oh okay. But how come they are not popping up in the civ tab?
