Military bugs
« on: May 13, 2007, 12:55:00 am »

One is that everytime when I save the game the last thing tacked in the gamelog is a whole bunch of squad annihilation messages.

Logem Stagshilerib now commands "The Granite Diamonds of Paint".
Squad "The Silvery Strokes" has been annihilated!
Squad "The Glorious Diamond Growls" has been annihilated!
Squad "The Tin Hearts" has been annihilated!
Squad "The Oaken Watchful Bucks of Work" has been annihilated!

It looks like these record keeping things aren't actually being saved correctly.  I haven't tried to promote everyone out to thier own squad and then redo the squads into another fashion yet.

The second one I noticed is that some dwarves seem to have 2 left feet.  I have seen it rather consistently with some dwarves and it might just have to do with where things were in the stockpiles.  I haven't seen it happen since rearranging all my armor piles.  What would happen is that a dwarf would put on 1 boot, then stand at the bin for a while.  After that he would drop the odd boot and go to a different bin.  Once there he would repeat.  At one point one of my dwarf's had managed to pull out 5 different boots before going back to the first one.

As I say I haven't seen this happen since moving my stockpiles around, so the only thing I can guess is that the boots have a pairing to them, and I just happened to catch and break that pairing for many pairs.  I might guess that other paired items could be similarly affected if this is the case.

I've figured out the squad one.  Not sure when I'll get to it.  It's just logging annihilation messages after the save when it is cleaning things up.

Not sure what's up with the boots.  I can't think of anything that would relate to a pairing.

Clearly your dwarves are terrible dancers.

The intruder arose, casting off its black cloak.  "Behold, stunted jesters!  It is I, Scuro!"  A jagged scar marked the goblin's face from eye to chin, his greasy mane gray and wild, and about his neck was the broken silver amulet, strapped together by a leather band.
