[BUG]"Missing Creature Definition : NARWHAL," maybe fixable
« on: December 14, 2020, 02:16:27 pm »

Hello everyone,

When i loaded an ongoing Fortress today i got the message : "Missing Creature Definition : NARWHAL," upon loading
The World and the fortress where started with the version 0.47.04 so far i want running into any issues other then the usual crashes back to desktop that comes with every older fortress.

Is there any way i can manually fix it by adding the creature into the the world ?
If not is there any way on retiring the fortress and the world ?
I have a backup save but its 1 year old and i designed a lot of mechanical stuff in the meantime so i really dont want to use it.

Do you have any mods installed?

Really hoping somebody puts this in their signature.

Only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that the raws got corrupted somehow.

Yeah it weird, it also never needed to grab a Narwhal because i am landlocked in the middle of the map
I coud generate a new world with the same DF Folder , wonder if i can copy some of its folders over
Overwriting Large Ocean and Lake/ River creatures didnt work

It also looks like its not dying at laoding creatures but while sorting them

You could try replace all of your save file's raws with the original world's clean raws and see if that works?
