loom message spam and strange weapon setting
« on: November 26, 2006, 12:01:00 am »

Two new bugs in version 0.22.120.23a:

1. I get continuous message spam from my loom that the gather web task fails. There are no webs stuck in impassable terrain (bug 66), the only webs I can see are on the other side of the river, out of reach.

2. I made one of my immigrant hunters a soldier. When I looked at the weapon options on the military screen, he had an axe selected instead of a crossbow. He was still armed with a crossbow and also had the marksdwarf skill.

All right, I've expanded bug 66 and set up a report for the axe problem.

I should probably have been a bit more clear: the loom message isn't something like 'path not found'. It's 'need undisturbed web'. I do have two looms, they both fail with that message when there are no accessible webs. The collect webs task keeps getting added, even if there are no webs.

Okay, I've moved it to 231, though I have no idea what's up -- the loom does do a check for the web, the same check that causes the dwarf to cancel it, so it would have been something other than the webs on the other side of the river (or this would have been reported by everybody, all the time).

Well... I see it 'all the time'.  However iirc I see it mostly after season changes.  So I just dismissed them as the webs being destroyed by floods.  Similar to uncompleted traps at the river's edge get destroyed, if left out in a flood.  I've also seen the web pathing problem  happen after a cave-in in the building of a cave-river tree farm.

If somebody's got a save I'll take a look at it.  I know it has to be something more subtle that webs being on some disconnected portion of the map, since I've seen some of those today without a problem, but there's some kind of issue.

Here is a save that has the loom bug. The only web I can see is a little north of the cave river bridges, inaccessible. The collect web job still keeps getting added to the looms. I put a dwarf on weaving only, so you'll get a lot of spam.

Okay, I've fixed it.  Thanks for the save.  It was a problem with some of the changes I made for the stay inside code.  A typo would cause many jobs to behave erratically at times.
