game crashed
« on: October 31, 2007, 12:20:00 pm »

i just build the Jeweler's workshop, and i set it to cut two different gems twice.
one was pink something, the 2nd i can't remember its name.
then i exited the workshop menu and this is what happened:

and a small bug i noticed, when i was placing some building and the menu of distance of rocks appeared, it said, distance to rock: -7500

Any other reports on this one?  Also, had you built a well?  That can cause an intermittent crash.

no well was built.
but that last four workshops i built were: tanner's, bowyer's, jeweler's and clothesmaker's workshop.

i also placed two gem stockpiles and queued "Plant fiber make rope" and "Plant fiber saw image" prior to queuing the gem cutting.

EDIT: the other gem was resin opal.

EDIT: i think i reproduced it!
i went in full-screen mode and then built all four workshops.
i then queued the cutting of those two gems(resin opal,pink garnet, in that order) and while the jeweler already started working on the first gem i went in windowed mode, which is where this happened again: http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/3954/crash2uz1.png

i get the same error, but it seems to be happening at random for me, i also get memory read errors when I 'embark' for the second time after selecting skills and items.

I also got a random out-of-the-blue crash. It *may* be related to this one. It happened in the beginning of winter. The last message was "There is nothing to catch in the southern swamps." My most recent orders were:

plant fiber bag, rope and image (other poster mentioned it, so may be the cause)
various shell and bone items (may be related to those rotting away or something)

I've cut resin opal and some other gem at jewelers without incident, I didn't have any plant fiber or clothmaking going.

I've been having an intermittent crash in two fortresses (in the same world) so far.  Each time, it's within a couple minutes of loading the save, the game will either freeze indefinitely or straight-up crash.  I have had wells in both fortresses, is this likely the culprit?  And is it possible to remove the well and therefore the crashbug?

Removing the well stopped the crashing.  Cool.

i'd just like to say that with the new version out(33a), the well problems have been fixed(at least the df-wiki says so)

hmm, perhaps the clothmaker's shop is doing the crashing, but don't forget, it only happens when i go from fullscreen to windowed mode.

supposedly the well problems were only partly fixed, someone ran into the crash again.

OK, I just figured out the reason of my crash. The option "Sew plant fiber image" in Clothier's shop crashes the game reliably and repeatedly. I can provide a save if necessary.

Grue, I've been having the same crash problems too, and I think it is "Sew plant fiber image".

also, i agree, the well just froze my game and i had to kill it violently.
btw, i just successfully made a rope out of pig tail cloth, if that helps in any way :
