[39d] Worldgen freeze
« on: July 23, 2008, 11:11:53 pm »

Whenever I hit space in the middle of worldgen, then hit c to continue, the er.game freezes and refuses to do anything. I have confirmed that this only occurs in the "Design New World with Parameters" section, but occurs without fail. You can, however, actually abort said generation.

EDIT: In addition, the sitefinder fails when told to find locations w/o aquifer when other conditions are present. IE: RiversY, PipesY, TempMed, RainMed, AquiferN, finds location with all requirements except AqNO.

Suggestion: Next iteration of the sitefinder: Make an array that contains compatible locations and be able to cycle through them. As this could cause interesting errors, base on a reasonable cap of locations stored, and only if location has a full match. May be more difficult than I think at the moment. I don't know how the search works, although from the way it currently looks like it works, I think I can see the kind of time multiplication a feature like that would have. Thus, another init option...

Sorry, this may sound stupid, but for mine, you have to press enter to continue worldgen after pausing it, not 'c'. Does it actually say 'Press c to continue' down the bottom, if so, are you sure you're using the right case (lower/upper)?

Just trying to remove a few things that I have gotten angry about doing.

Hrm, I can't get it to freeze when I continue (I can stop and then continue repeatedly without a problem).  I'm also not having trouble finding Aquifer=No + other conditions sites.  Anybody else getting these bugs?  I'm not sure what's going on.

If it changes anything (not likely), I was using several mods at the time. I can try again with a 'nilla version to see. I also have to check some more worlds to see if the search fails on those as well. I'll post the relevant saves if needed.
