World gen causes DF to freeze, any idea why?
« on: August 16, 2010, 08:22:17 pm »

Posting this here because I'm not 100% sure it's a bug and maybe someone can help. Also posting the issue to the bug tracker though.

Basically, I attempt to create a world with the settings seen below, and every time I do so, DF stops at "setting temperature..." and becomes unresponsive, have to use the task manager to exit. There is no map reject log generated (yes, I do have it turned on in init) and nothing happens regardless of how long I wait. Pressing enter/escape to abort seems to be ineffective as well.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I've not had any issues with world gen before, other parameter sets I have created seem to work as intended. Any ideas?

It's the -20 in the temperature line.  It can't be negative, the lowest you can have there is 0.

I input these parameters in-game, view the "design new world with parameters" feature. The minimum temperature listed there is far into the negative.

I also thought of this myself and tried with a min temperature of 1, it did not help.

Oh, right, I'm thinking of something else that has a min of 0, my bad.
