YES I am!  do you have one?

if you are in version 1.26 and you didn't change anything then the answer is yes.

 there was several duplicates between the masterwork and zm5 that were not spotted... but have been fixed in the next version... at the moment I'm going to say that until the next version is released, I'm not going to worry about this, primarily due to the number of fixes already in v1.27.

Ptw

How is the work coming along... I'm interested in this since it was a part of MDF years ago.

I only just realized you were updating this, I had put it on hold while Meph was outta town. I just grabbed the latest and will be testing it out. Thanks for your hard work, we appreciate it!

Glad to see another join the fray! thanks for the thumbs up!

5. Stal's armoury.

9. update armok vision.
10. Well I fixed the modest milling so it doesn't dump 1000 errors anymore - done.
11. fix dwarf merchants. done.  no longer needs 5 stacks of coins ... changed it to 1 gold bar.
12. figure out whats going on in default profile. - fixed, let me know if anything doesn't seem to be working correctly on it.
13. liquid fire - boltgun is investigating this, we will go with his recommendations, currently I can't even get a save that has a dwarf with anything of liquid fire.
14. coral plant from naga - removed for some reason creatures made of it are so brittle that they crumble to nothing(yep thats the final determination, these creatures are taking on severe damage as they move and in about 100 ticks from appearing they turn to dust) and this causes games to crash to desktop (the game cannot handle the creature becoming nothing without dying, it doesn't die its still there without a body...)... this may not be the actual cause, I could not verify that it was or was not the coral plant in naga, but since we didn't need it for anything, disabling it was the best option to see if coral collapsing creatures continue to appear.
15. isoworld update if I can find it. impossible, last update was years ago.
16. legendsViewer updated to v 1.17 - done.

any other updates you would like to see... anything else odd? let me know.

so ive been trying to play master work for a while now, every time it crashes. ive had it work on a normal map o i think its the custom map im making. i get all the way up to embarking and just before the game starts i get this message: the exception unknown software exception 0x0000015 ocurred in the app at location 0x64acd635 and this is the only thing in the eror log is *** Error(s) found in the file "data/save/region2/raw/objects/creature_random_myth_beast_standard_mdf.txt"

I found that issue it was a duplicated section of code that was trying to make the females geldable... removed the duplicated section and it cleared up immediately.  It will be in the 1.27 update.

If you want to try 43.05, check the forum, there's a link in my sig, it's running better than 1.23 ever did, it's in my link.  If you are concerned about when meph will return well check his links you can send him twitters, you can follow/post to his Facebook, you can find him on Reddit.  There is a lot of info on him and his bike tours.   

Thank you for bug fixing this amazing mod pack, and for helping keep it updated while Meph is away.

Thank you.  I appreciate that.  I'm hoping to get it to 0 issues and o errors so I can rest... I didn't really pick it up intentionally... My original plan was producing a 43.05x64 version for testing scripts and raw code changes.... ended up sucking me in to the script/raw fixes that MDF so desperately needed.  I'm requesting that if anyone knows any errors that they can fix to submit it to my github, I'll review it and admit it if its a good fix.  If you don't know then come over to the new forum post and discuss it there.  Considering the number of fixes and updates I'm working through this is a break neck pace for any programmer.... I'm surprised i'm maintaining an online and RL social life on top of this. lol

and after 20 embarks as dwarves with active succubus forts all over the place.... no liquid fire clothing... I'm going to say its very rare... and we need a game save with it occurring, before we waste time hunting for an example anymore.

Hello, thanks for all the work you're putting into this! I have a slight problem: I'll be playing the game and everything is going fine, until the game just disappears. I thought it might have something to do with enabling the LAA, like you mentioned on several other posts. However, when I clicked on the utility in the utility bar nothing happened. I opened up the folder but couldn't find it. The other utilities seem to all be there, but I can't find the LAA. Do you have any idea about what I should do?

LAA was removed from this version, it was designed for x32 (archaic x86 windows) programs using it on DFx64 shouldn't have any effect, but for concern it may cause DF to have other issues, it was removed.

If the game just disappears it could be a plethora of things.... any serious memory leak or system fail in DF itself, will cause it to crash... Is there any common factor in what is going on when it happens?   so far I've seen generated monsters made of coral seem to cause CTDs(crash to desktop), certain other things like too many weapon traps, Sometimes caravans, setting details either in shop or job manager.   Basically if you have one, reload the last save and see if it happens again.  try to find the point it does happen at by saving every couple of in game days.  If it was while you was in the menus(game pause) try and repeat the actions you did prior to the crash.  If you can pin it down to a particular event or something repeatable, something we can test, then we can know what's going on.

the LAA fix of the past was primarily a fail to load issue where either it wouldn't load/lock up/freeze then crash, or it would loose it's tilesets and be unplayable (eveything turned into colored squares like 1 pixel for each tile, lol).  That was a 1.22 to 1.23 issue... and was fixed.

It apparently is just migrants showing up with pants and shirts on.... which is interesting... I have no idea why it would start doing this now...  I've nto had anything to do with the material.
