DF Bug Reports / Re: 39f Zoom to suspended building causes crash
« on: August 19, 2008, 11:05:23 pm »
Downloaded 40a, generated a world and started playing it[1], idly starting on a bit of glacier for the (as I believe the 'kids of today' call it) "LULZ". 
But just now got the Zoom-Bld crash again. Not the first tried (all instances from the (U)nit list). Previously used on jobs regarding walls and farm plots, this one was almost certainly a wall, though maybe one of the up/down staircases I was building as well (stilts, Grand Plans, etc...).
In the XP Error Report this one had the nul address ("0x000...000") where the other had something else that I mentioned in my prior (amended) submission but I don't see any need to repeat.
F.Y.I.
(Also, I've seen remarks about the speed. Definitely far faster to run. Almost confusingly so, and I'll have to get used to the new rapidity. Also I get the yellow "Here" cross replicating on moving around, as also seen remarked about. Again, F.Y.I.)
[1] Two possible items for wishlist:
a) If one is (e)mbarking without spending all one's points, tell one,
b) If one is starting a game at 3AM, when one needs to get up in less than six hours, be awkward about it.
(Ok, so first may already be there and second isn't really serious. Well, the consequences may be, but I'd just ignore that warning as if it were one about an aquifer.
)

and the only time it /didn't/ happen was when I'd previously tried a Zoom-Bld on Remove Building (the cart) to see if it was all (B) actions or not. This /may/ have been an anomaly, but I couldn't get that game to crash, when all others did so far too easily.
