Time to listen to music and sleep while worldgen finishes doing its thing.
The history of The Momentous Planes is at year 1005 now... doubtless it will crash once it finishes. :P
Hopefully I have some interesting DF-inspired dreams.

Look at it this way - I don't doubt you'll have the oldest world in the new version by the end of it. You'll go down in the histories! :P

Is this release save compatible?

Is it possible to see what locations are associated with? I've designated a couple of temples to specific gods, but once they're designated I haven't found a way to see which god a location is assigned to.

The locations and occupations menu doesn't appear to have anything, and the names of the temples don't seem to be related with the group name of the worshippers of the deity.

Found these in my error log, they didn't look familiar so I figure this isn't a bad place to put them:

Code: [Select]
path fail: reacher,112,27,43 -> 112,24,43: Id #930:Path Goal Marauder Mill:Station Marauder Mill at 115,21,61
path fail: reacher,112,27,43 -> 113,24,43: Id #930:Path Goal Marauder Mill:Station Marauder Mill at 112,24,43

I'm not sure if they're related to a crash I got after a migrant wave or not.

Seriously? I mean, it would most likely not. Go and try to load a save game yourself and report back.

Had a crash while trying to play dwarf mode in a freshly made world. This is how it went.

After I came out of the shock of joy by the new release I downloaded it, then made a world with the predefined values in Create New Wolrd! After that I entered the testing arena to do battle against a giant mosquito (I died, horribly). Then I tried to play dwarf mode and it crashed, nothing is on the logs besides the lost battle with the mosquito (in retrospective I shouldn't have equipped it with steel armor).

The crash happened on the screen where you see the calendar, sometimes when it reach the 8th day of Granite, others when it reach the 11th or 12th. And it crashes almost every time I try to play dwarf mode or adventurer mode. I had to make 4 attempts to get it to load Dwarf mode.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?
My ship exploded midflight, but all the shrapnel totally landed on Alpha Centauri before anyone else did.  Bow before me world leaders!

Woo! New release! Currently generating my first world. Got the civ placement freeze, but setting number of civs to low on a medium sized world seems to have bypassed it.

Also, for Arch Linux users: I modified the old dwarffortress-spacefox PKGBUILD to work with the new version (but without the Spacefox tileset, obviously! I just used that PKGBUILD as a template, so to speak.)

Here it is: http://pastebin.com/45hNqXNj
(I did not add myself to the credits since this is mostly a workaround/unofficial "hack")

Also, I had to do "sudo chown -R <my user name> /opt/df_linux" after installation to get it to work correctly even though my user is in the games group. So do that if the game exits with an error about not having permissions for something. Apart from that this should work. And oh, for some reason building the df-unfuck graphics library froze when doing makepkg, but worked fine when building the library manually from the command line. No idea what that's about, but it can be worked around.

Hope this helps anyone on Arch Linux to get the game running until someone who actually knows what they're doing make an official package for DF :)


EDIT: Forget it, the df-unfuck isn't updated to work with the latest version, making the keybindings all scrambled and weird and the game gets rather unusable. At least I believe that's why the keybindings in-game doesn't match interface.txt at all, at least here on my computer.

EDIT: Hey, df-unfuck actually *is* updated! I discovered that my PKGBUILD doesn't work out of the box though. If there's demand, I can try to make a more complete AUR package available.

Some crashes in game during the calendar screen, crashing in Fortress mode, and crashing during worldgen rarely. Havne't tried adventurer mode so I can't say if that's stable.

But the new features.. my god. Thank you for yet another great release Toady. I'm having a blast once again.

Can't wait to try all the new features.
Right now can't get past the crashes.

World gen crashed 4 times, all in the history step between years 115 - 130.
I reduced the history length to small and made it through world gen.

Starting a game always crashes on the calendar within the first 5 days of the first month.
Looking at the disassembly it looks like it's referencing an object member of a null pointer.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help reproduce or debug. I'm excited for this to work.

There are lots of seeds for the world generation issues... I think. You should go to the bugtracker and post the seeds for the world that you have that issue with along with the settings.

It's likely to be related to the calendar screen bug that seems to be cropping up a lot(though I don't know how the code works), but it seems likely to be related.

Incidentally, I wound up getting suggested vim, which worked fine where vi didn't.

For editing a binary file, this is absolutely true.  Vim and emacs can handle binary files.  Most other text editors can't.

Whoever wrote the tutorial you've been following probably had been using vim as vi for so long that they forgot there's a difference.

I think placing civilizations is probably a good candidate for freezes, since that's where all the new art forms are generated.  I just haven't gotten it to reproduce yet, so I can't yet fix it.

This is something I always have to watch out for in Dark Ages, where I have added many civs but there isn't always enough space in the world to place them.
