[39e] worldgen+equipment, and others
« on: August 11, 2008, 10:44:54 am »

1. when i started my game as an adventurer some trader apparently had illusions about having a hand:

Trader looses hold of the rope reed right mitten
trader looses hold of the rope reed right glove

creatures with missing limbs shouldn't spawn wearing something they can't hold
2. marksdwarves only stuff 1 type of bolt in their quiver at a time. currently i've got a markdwarf carrying around 1 bolt in his quiver because no others will stack with it, and he won't even use it at the archery range or drop it unless i discharge him from the military
it works out fine if i only make copper bolts, but bone makes them freak out because only 1 level of quality and 1 type of bone fit in the quiver

3. the paypal banner seems to cause me horrible lag whenever it starts loading, i'm not sure why, it was working before.

4. poor timing with the shift and numpad keys can cause the game to perpetually move the cursor(also makes it hard to save) while no keys are pressed
reloading cures it

#4 is a long time bug, Toady isn't sure what causes it, you just have to make sure to release the direction key prior to the shift key, if you don't, then just press shift, direction, then release in the proper order (I've heard alt-tabbing fixes it too).

Also, try turning off numlock before using the numpad. I don't know how, but DF still picks up the numpad keys as if numlock was turned on, and it gets rid of the "keytrap." Hope that helps.

Do you mean it totally froze up, or it froze up for everything but pressing ESC to get the game menu or pausing?
