Summary0005607: Double river
DescriptionDuring adventure mode I ran across a two rivers which were right next to each other, leading to an extra-wide river which gives two consecutive "You have discovered a river" messages when you drop out of quick-travel mode.

In addition to that, on the opposite side of the river to where you start from the linked save game, there's up/down ramps up as if there were a river bank, but the river wall goes up a few more z-levels.

I'm afraid I don't understand why you think this is a bug. Could you explain in more detail?

It's the two consecutive "You have discovered a river" messages that makes me think it's a bug. At the very least one of the messages is spurious.

You don't even need two rivers to get two consecutive "You have discovered a river" messages. If you when you discovery a river do so at a spot where two sections* of a river meet, you'll get two messages as well.

*I call them that, because I think that the game does a distinction between them somehow. It looks just like an ordinary stretch of an ordinary river (no bifurcations or anything) to me when I look at it

Well you are discovering two consecutive rivers, Khym Chanur. I apparently misread your initial report, though - are the two rivers merged on the local or world map? If it's world but not local, then I'd say you really are discovering two rivers, but they're just really close together. If it's local, there is some precedence for that - e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Manaus_Encontro_das_aguas_10_2006_103_8x6.jpg or http://stardel.com/chaos/?p=749- two rivers meeting and joining but still appearing distinct. But in this case it's probably DF tracking them inappropriately as compared to two rivers not fully merging.

Teddy, do you mean at a point where a river crosses across a world tile?

The world map shows what I think is the symbol for a wide river; that is, two parallel lines.
