I've noticed some odd behaviour in my installation of LL. Craft goods (of bone and wood, at least) are not showing up in my g)oods options at the depot (as their own category, they are still present under all).  Had a few crashes too, but...

The real problem I'm running into at the moment are these hobgoblin "merchants".  They have come to my nascent little fortress at the same time as the elves who setup at my depot first, which might be part of the problem, but the result is the hobgoblin merchants are wandering around willy nilly destroying everything in sight.  And because they are merchants, I can't attack them (or I just don't know how).  Sadly, with a no-stone aquifer start, I have no mechanical means to kill him, so I'm sort of powerless .

I suppose removing [BUILDING_DESTROYER:2] from hobgoblin entry should remove their destructive behavious if you want to work around them like this. I did it and they pop every now and then as merchants. It does seem to cause a slight problem though, weapons are absurdly valuable to them.

Oh, and if you edit the entry, do delete your objects folder in \data\, so it will surely get recompiled from the entry with no errors.

or at least creature_whateveryougotitin.txt

Hey,

I'm running into a strange problem and I'm not sure of the cause.

I'm running legendary lands and when I abandon my fortress I cannot restart another fortress for some reason. It gives me a

'runtime error'

Program:

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

 and shuts the program down. I'm not completely sure what it's related to, though I've eliminated things like the king arriving, HFS and related stuff and a few other small things. I've got an  unused version of the same world that I have no problem abandoning just started forts and doing another, so it makes me think it might be  related to the 'clean-up' protocol of some items that my fortress might have, but again, I'm not sure.

World-gen time is year 7.

Any advice would be welcome. I'd like to keep this fortress in my world with my next one, but this abandoning glitch has me perturbed.

(I tried re-installing LL but now for some reason it keeps telling me: 'Windows cannot find 'dwarf' ' and won't start the program.)

The new releases of DF (being 40d#) have another exe name. Batch seems to have a problem with this, not liking the space in the middle of it.

[Paulus Fahlstrom]

So... how would that affect not being able to embark any more?

And is there a fix for it?

Unsure what might be causing the embark issue. Could just be DF itself. Hard to say since you can't replicate in other forts. When the next version of DF comes out, LL will be substantially different, so I'm holding off on doing a proper fixpack since I've already started on converting it anyway.

I'm having trouble getting the game to start.  Every time it comes up with an error message that says: Windows cannot find 'Dwarf'. Make sure you typed it right because windows isn't helpful.

I tried changing the .exe name to Dwarf.exe but that didn't seem to help.  I'm running the DF version from here http://afteractionreporter.com/2009/02/09/the-complete-and-utter-newby-tutorial-for-dwarf-fortress-part-1-wtf/

Do I need to get the latest version for this to work?

[Roundabout Lout]

I had the same problem. At Cpt. Mayday's advice, I changed the dwarf fort main .exe to dwarf, and not the LL. Don't know which one you tried, but hopefully you didn't end up with a dwarf.exe.exe

[Karadan]

So weird.  I had tried changing it to dwarf already, but now I just reinstalled everything and tried it again and obviously the alignment of the stars is better now because it worked suddenly.

[Karadan]

Okay, so I finally got the mod working and everything, but I'm trying to figure out how to play as another race in fortress mode.  Is it possible?  I hit tab when looking for a site and went over to the part where I can select civilizations, but I have no idea how to tell which ones are/aren't dwarves, and what they actually are.  Far as I can tell they're all dwarves but I could be wrong.

Thanks in advance for the help.

[Roundabout Lout]

The only way to know is to do your research in Legends mode
I usually pick the civ with the most interesting history, or one with a war going on, and remember the civ's name.

[Karadan]

Okay, so the three civ's I'm seeing aren't necessarily all dwarves then?  Thanks, I'll check legends then.

[Karadan]

Okay, finally got around to checking legends and all three civs I can pick from are dwarves.  Can you only play as dwarves in fortress mode or am I missing something?

[Captain Mayday]

You'll need to add CIV_CONTROLLABLE to the races you want to use in their entity files.

[Captain Mayday]

Looking at getting a fix update for this tonight.

Sir: It's my first time playing this excellent mod, and I am having a crashing problem.  It happens quite predictably, about one second after my current save point.  Can you offer any tips to get past this?

I'm in a coldish and rainy area, almost completely flat, half rocky half trees.  It's autumn of my first year.  My population is only 15, including 1 child, 6 soldiers, and various domesticated stock.  The only wild animals present are mountain goats and wild turkeys.  There is a stream, and some fishing ponds.

The only other thing that seems possibly relevant is that the units list shows two dead naked mole dogs, which I have never seen, and whose remains I cannot locate.  If I read the raws correctly, that indicates that there may be a chasm that I haven't yet located.  Anyway, I removed [AMPHIBIOUS][UNDERSWIM][FISHITEM] tags from my lizardmen and skalassi, just in case, but the crash happens still.  Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.  LL looks magnificent, and I really want to play it.
