When I try to generate a world on 19d I get a pop up informing me of an error, DF crashes, and the error log tells me :

Impoverished Word Selector

...multiple times.

We really need to do something about impoverished word selectors, guys! Word selectors aren't paid enough!

Edit : Oh, and on .19a the world gen works fine. Dunno about b or c, though.

Do you remember at what point of world generation this happened?

[Varil]

Pretty much the moment I hit "generate world".

Did you extract the new version in a separate directory?  I don't remember if the files changed at all, but nothing has changed about the name generation in world gen.  I'd expect to see this crash much more.  Has anybody else had this?

[Varil]

No, I always just use the right-click extract command to send the files to a folder named the same as the zip file, so my DF is always in folders like df_XX_XXX_XX, with older versions being deleted after extraction.

Edit : Err...bugger. I decided to test b and c versions, and in a fit of redundency, redownloaded d to try it too. They all worked fine, d included. Mind you, I haven't done more than check the world gen, not finished it, but it got farther than it had been. I don't think it was an bad download, but I recall the initial trouble lasting over reboots, so I don't know what to think.

Anyway, the fates have decreed the problem solved! Yay!

And this happens everytime you try to generate a world in 19d?  hrm...  the error means it is having trouble using data from the language_SYM or language_words file from the data/objects directory.  Is this in a regular old windows OS?

[Varil]

Windows XP.

Okay, I saw the edit above, so we'll just let it simmer.  Let me know if something...  strange happens.
