yeah thats a non necessary line... rose-init calls the liquids-update script on its on, a second call isn't necessary.  fixed in the 1.27 planned pack already.

interesting... that should be fixed by the succubus-init file... It worked when I embarked as succubus earlier today... I've noticed that sometimes it wont be unlocked at first when embarking... but if you save and reload the game it will work... not sure what is causing that.

the file located at:
Dwarf Fortress\hack\scripts\masterwork\base\periodic-check.lua

you can just delete that file... its not maintaining anything that we are using.  so it will throw an error when you initiate a map... but after that no more errors should occur.  besides I need people to do that while I'm fixing the other things in the game... a test period I would call it.  so that if deleting it does cause more serious errors I can deal with that.

Het Taffer, buddy its been awhile since I talked with you,  anyways I was reviewing mods (actually I was looking for a good current version of modest milling, but that's a side note).  I noticed you are still advertising expanded dictionary... I've canceled that project all the way around... Its just not something I'm willing to continue to try and make into a viable product. If you still have the files for it, you're welcome to continue updating it, but I don't plan to return to the project.

anyways It doesn't look like you have the modest mass mill stuff in your raws... I was hoping to find one with all the plants fixed so I wont need to manually fix them in the current version of MDF... I guess I'm headed to the notepad++...

okay here's my current list based on what I didn't get done last update and want to do for the next update.... I'm sick though, I can't promise I'll get through it, but I'm moving a little now... lets see what is in the list.

left over that I didn't get done:
1. errors from the errorlog. I've removed several.
2. alcohol names, duplicates.
3. Start looking at a way to create documentation. I have some concepts.... out sourcing... if anyone is interested let me know, I have a lead developer, you can join a team.
4. Grim's historical arms. some inherent oddities in the new version may not upgrade.
5. Stal's armoury.
6. Entity reformat for Hermit entity file.
7. fixed that periodic check thing by disabling it - done.
8. fix these:

Duplicate "ENERGY_TEMPLATE" in material_template_zm5.txt and in material_template_masterwork.txt
Empty token [] in creature_subterranean.txt SPIDER_CAVE_GIANT line 1085
Duplicate "SOUL_GEM" in inorganic_zm5 and inorganic_succubus.txt
Duplicate "4TUSKS" in body_zm5.txt and in body_default.txt
Duplicate "8EYES" in body_zm5.txt and in body_masterwork.txt
Duplicate "BRAIN_NOTHOUGHT" in body_zm5.txt and in body_masterwork.txt
Duplicate "SKELETON_MATERIALS" in b_detail_plan_zm5.txt and in b_detail_plan_masterwork.txt
Duplicate "SKELETON_TISSUES" in b_detail_plan_zm5 and in b_detail_plan_masterwork.txt

9. update armok vision.
10. update modest mods if possible... I'll have to look into it.
11. fix dwarf merchants. done.  it wasn't that it needed 5 coins it needed 5 stacks of coins, which presented an issue that any stack size counted... changed it to 1 gold bar.
12. figure out whats going on in default profile. - fixed sort of...I set the default profile to the same as the settings I use when I "pack" MDF ... warning keybindings may not work the way you are use too... apparently I've had a modified version of the keybindings forever and a day being passed with the mod (even I may be upset, lol)  if in testing I can't handle it... well either I'm going to revert and save my keybindings under amostubal's or one of those 2 options are going to get hacked.
13. try to find out whats going on in liquid fire, and coral both odd materials that are appearing now suddenly... liquid fire destroying dwarf embarks, coral beings crashing worlds.... whats MDF coming too... this one probably wont have an answer this update.
14. any other updates you would like to see... anything else erroring in odd ways? let me know.

nvm I just found it... apparently after the error in the scripts I fixed for 1.26 it calls this script, then this script calls itself every 100 ticks afterwards... just delete it... it should throw one error in the console when initializing, but after that it wont change game play.  I have disabled its initial call in the 1.27 comits and if we decide to use its functions in the future we will restart it.

WOoooooo thats a lot of invokes... oh shit I'm going to go look at the paper work... nothing should be producing that many invokes.


yeah I'd like to see the save.  just the region folder...  It should have all I need to check it.

Apologies - oone more report, if I may.

Again, please find attached a save game: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5z6cpdeugnvrwnc/region1.rar?dl=0

For some reason, after all the dwarves install the furniture on the left of the save's starting location (just did the planning) the game becomes unstable. I can't quicksave via the console (instant crash) and if I try to wait for the auto-save at the end of the month, it crashes again before said time.

I don't know how to debug it, but if there's a conflict you should be aware of - enjoy

have you tried it without planning... there is a discussion of it being unstable over in the dfhack section.

My game has been stalling every second every since I updated to 1.26 (new fort) while playing the Succubus race. Every second the game will pause for a fraction of a second. I had no problems with 1.25 with a similar setup.

I used kill-lua to kill scripts/masterwork/base/periodic-check.lua and the lag went away.

Not sure which part lags the game, but it's something that wasn't there in 1.25.

hmmm periodic-check.lua not sure what we have that uses it at the moment... what reactions/shops/ etc that you are using?  what errors are appearing in the dfhack log (stderr.log) otherwise I don't know whats going on, based on the info you provided.
