Dwarven liaison bug (38a)
« on: February 14, 2008, 08:31:00 pm »

I'm playing a fort generated in 33g and carried over to 38a and I've just gotten the first dwarven caravan since the changeover.  This caravan had several wagons and camels, but no dwarven liaison.  The liaison wasn't killed previously (or at any rate there is no dead liaison in my unit list).  I have saves from both before and after the caravan arrival, let me know if you need it/them and where to post it.

If it's smaller than 10MB I think it'll go through my gmail, tarn.adams@gmail.com.  Otherwise, one of them megarapiduploadshare thingies will have to suffice.  I'm not sure why the liaison wouldn't show up if the liaison isn't indisposed.

All right, I sent it through email b/c it's only ~6.6MB.  Let me know if you need anything else.

Okay, I'll take a look at it next time I go through the (now small) save pile.  That should only be a day or two, but it's hard to make guarantees on this sort of thing.

Same thing: world generated in 33g, moved to 38a, first dwarven caravan, no liaison... Human merchant prince DID show up, however.
(it's the same fortress with freesing miners)

I did the same thing. I used a save generated in 33g, (In order to use adjuststart.exe) and a liason never showed up. I assumed it was only because I had a single dwarf. The same world (Just a different fortress) DID have a liason show up, and he's shown up faithfully through the few years it's been going.

Wow, I'm surprised, an email client that offers more than 10 mb of attachment space!

(The reason it's 10 is because if everyone was using 20 mb (or 30 or 40 or whatever) the sheer amount of data would overwhelm the SMTP servers--and this was set back when we had 26k modems).

Somewhat related bug : the liaison stopped coming after a few years. I'm sure he isn't dead (at least he doesn't show up on the units list). World generated in 38a, though.
