Fatal Error: Nemesis Unit Load Failure
« on: October 30, 2007, 10:34:00 pm »

Every time I tried to start a human adventurer with 12 in Hammer and 10 in shield, this error would appear (Sorry for the large image):


The location I started in was changed, and the gender, though I did not change the race of the adventurer or the stats (12 and 10) each of the three times I attempted to start an adventurer.

This means it failed to load a unit file from the region folder.  Are there any unit files in your region folder?

I got this error in Fortress mode as well when I was about midway through Autumn. Isn't that when the caravans show up?

It happens every time, even when loading an old save. Is this something I can salvage? As a matter of fact, "unit-625" shows up in my "Region1" folder in data/save.

Is unit 625 the only one that shows up?  If so, you've lost all the unit files from world gen somehow.  That looks like what would be left in the current folder, which is not a save folder.

Yeah, this isn't a bug as far as I can tell... I found the other unit files (they were sent to me for a succession game) and it works just great.

The same thing happened to me. I checked the save folder and the only thing inside was the world file. Copying all the other files from a backup save fixed it.

All my unit files were deleted somehow, although all the feature.dat and world.sav file were left behind.  This is a world I generated from a seed on the forum, if that makes any difference.

I have copied every unit file that I could from any save that I have but I am still getting this error on the 10th of Autumn, so I assume it just cannot load the Liason and Merchants.

Does anyone know what file I need, and if they are able, to post it?  This is irritating, because it's stopping my fortress from progressing  :(

Apologies for necromancy.

I also have this bug, and well, I tried copying unit files from backups to various folder.

No success.

The backups aren't guaranteed to work if the other files in the folder aren't in sync with them.  But in the first place, you somehow ended up with a region folder that didn't have unit files in it?

Darn, I got it too and now I've noticed all my units are missing from the save! I'll have to restart this fortress... Damn.
