You have a creature_standard.txt~ file (not creature_standard.txt) in your raws folder. That caused a heavy bout of duplicate object errors. Delete that file and generate the world anew. Deleting it from the save's raw folder won't save the world.

Knight Otu: Does that appear to be the cause of the crash? Usually it at least pops up an error message when the raws are messed up.

It appears to be. The error log does include the duplicate objects warning, and I believe there has always been the potential for legends crashes when vermin somehow became involved.

Let's see, apparently his dwarves became mountain goats, elves became giant eagles, goblins became mountain gnomes, and humans became hoary marmots, but one of the megabeasts appears to have become a lizard and another one a red-winged blackbird - looking at one of those causes a crash. There are also demons without a demon type, which also crash when looked at. The file (I guess it's an automatic backup file) and the resulting creature shift does seem to be the cause.

The true bug here, presumably, would be that DF reads non-text files if they are otherwise in the correct format.

Haha. Yeah, good call, I'll retitle the report.

Ah, that would explain it! Naughty vim, making backup files!

It's ok, only the second facepalm today. The first was at work while my boss was trying to go home - much more embarrassing.

It's reported here that this happens with .bak files as well: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=55809.msg1204985#msg1204985

The obvious suggested fix for this would be to only parse raws that have the 'txt' extention.
Ultimately the modders are to blame for our own inattentiveness, though if such a fix doesn't cause any issues it would make life a bit easier for said modders.

thats a 3 minute fix, but toady obviously doesnt care whats going on here on the bugtracker.
i have the feeling he fixes only the bugs he encounters himself, but only those who annoy him the most.

Pessimistic, aren't you? There's a *lot* of bugs and Toady's only one guy.
