Unfortunately, the "Nemesis Unit Load Error" comes from a corrupted NPC file attempting to be loaded into memory, which then crashes the game. I'll check the contents of the error.txt file and see if there's anything there to give us a clue as to who seems to be crashing this game...
According to toady, the message appears when the program "fails to load a unit file from the region folder".
Apparently "Nemesis load errors mean that some important units living outside your fortress (like diplomats, kings, etc) have had their data disappear. Once the data is gone, that error tends to happen on events like the caravan coming."
Research is saying that some of the data in a "region file" goes missing, which is what causes this error. Often times, it's a result of terminating the program with a power-outage or a ctrl-alt-del rather than using the in-game save/retire/abandon option, which repacks the game files before exiting.
Before i send this over to the bug tracking forum, has any of you terminated the program without using the in-game save/retire/abandon options? I know for this save that I haven't.
The errorlog.txt file says
*** Error(s) finalizing the entity MOUNTAIN
Unrecognized entity tool token: ITEM_TOOL_STEPLADDER
*** Error(s) finalizing the entity MOUNTAIN
Unrecognized entity tool token: ITEM_TOOL_STEPLADDER
(cleared the file, then tried to get into Eastguild using Fast-travel and just straight overland travel. Both times the same error message popped up, so I checked the Stepladder entry in the entity_default files for the game and the save - both were the same. However, in the "item_tool" files, the game had this:
[ITEM_TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_STEPLADDER]
[NAME:stepladder:stepladders]
[VALUE:50]
[METAL_MAT]
[WOOD_MAT]
[TOOL_USE:STAND_AND_WORK_ABOVE]
[FURNITURE]
[TILE:179]
[INVERTED_TILE]
[SIZE:40000]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:6]
But the save had only this:
[ITEM_TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_STEPLADDER]
[NAME:stepladder:stepladders]
[VALUE:50]
[METAL_MAT]
[WOOD_MAT]
[TOOL_USE:STAND_AND_WORK_ABOVE]
[FURNITURE]
It looks like
[TILE:179]
[INVERTED_TILE]
[SIZE:40000]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:6]
was dropped somehow from the file.
I re-added the missing bit to the save's "item_tool" section again and will be seeing if that clears things up.
Nope, still having a Nemesis Unit failure... and the error log still says
*** Error(s) finalizing the entity MOUNTAIN
Unrecognized entity tool token: ITEM_TOOL_STEPLADDER
I don't know guys.
I'm going to just remove the stepladder tool from the item_tool and default_entity files and see if that doesn't clear it up.
