Odd Message: Warning or Bug?
« on: January 19, 2009, 04:47:06 pm »

One of my dwarves, Mosus Oddomesmul, Miner, started throwing a tantrum then became possessed.
Shortly after, I saw this message:
"OVERWROTE JOB: Strange Mood BY Start Fist Fight"

Mosus is shown as "Starting a fist fight!" when I try to [v]iew, but shows up twice on the [j]ob list, once as Start Fist Fight, and once as Strange Mood.
I couldn't find anything in the forums about it, but I'm not sure whether it's actually a bug.
My game is still paused currently.

Save it, and post it in the bugs forum and upload the save to the Dwarf Fortress File Depot. After you upload the save and back it up on your own computer by copying it to somewhere else, run it and see what happens.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

"OVERWROTE JOB:"?  In all caps like that?  Sounds like some internal thing Toady never caught.  Definitely a bug, if a minor one.  Post it.

The [j]ob menu thing isn't a bug.

Only in Dwarf Fortress would you try to catch a mermaid to butcher her and make trophies out of her bones
