Summary0002685: After assigning ammo, squad spams "cancels Pickup Equipment: Equipment mismatch"
DescriptionAfter assigning ammo to squads, the announcements are spammed by repeated occurrences of "<dwarf name> cancels Pickup Equipment: Equipment mismatch."
Steps To ReproduceIt seems pretty consistent once bolts are assigned to a squad (other than hunters). The squad's other equipment includes "crossbow" as a weapon. There are enough quivers for everyone.
Additional InformationThe squad formerly had "individual choice, ranged" as weapon assignments. That was removed, and replaced with "crossbow".
Tagsammunition, message spam

The main thing that would be helpful is uploading a save where the spam is happening. http://dffd.wimbli.com/

Same happens for me, the dwarf fires the bone bolts at the archery range just fine but he keeps spamming that message. Here's the save:

 Happened to me too in 0.31.10.
I will upload a save if it happens again for longer time.

The dwarf that spammed it got "Pickup Equipment" job, then moved a few tiles, then gave that cancellation message and his job switched to whatever he was doing before, then he moved a few tiles back, then he got "Pickup Equipment" job again et cetera...

Here's a save specifically made to show the problem: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2684

What Rafal99 said describes the issue as I observed it in "real life". Dwarves wouldn't even move to the stockpile where the mismatched equipment was sitting, so there was no way I could tell what it was they were rejecting.

The behavior is highly erratic, though. Dwarves were able to perform some tasks, including Archery Practice, but not very effectively due to the continual interruptions.

>>Dwarves wouldn't even move to the stockpile where the mismatched equipment was sitting, so there was no way I could tell what it was they were rejecting.

You can check what they attempt to equip when the dwarf has "Pickup Equipment" job. Go to jobs list screen, find "Pickup Equipment" assigned to the buggy dwarf, select "View Job", then you can see what item is the job target.
Was wooden bolts in my case.

I have seen this too.

Even if the mismatched equipment is wooden bolts.... I don't understand how that is a mismatch, per se.

I've seen this too. It was on a save imported from 31.08, if it matters. If the dwarf DID get to the bolt before complaining about a mismatch, it actually put it in its quiver, though. Given a small amount of available bolts of a certain material, I DID finally get a marksdwarf to pick up bolts and fire at something.

I have found that dwarves still have a problem equipping ammo from bins, but they can gather it from stock piles no problem. Is there a bug report for that already? Because I imagine it would be a quick fix, and would probably clear up a lot of confusion/frustration.

 Same problem. Noticed that my archers are carrying two crossbows in their right hand. Might have something to do with it....

Edit: Nope.. I managed to get them to equip themselves normally, and still getting the same issue.

I've unforbidden all ammo and created an ammo stockpile without bins but the issue didn't go away.

I seem to recall this started when I assigned leather shields to my archer squad's uniform, but not sure if it's related. (A wild guess that dwarves need one hand free to collect/carry ammo....)

My save of this happening:
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2693

Edit II: This save was originally from 3.08=>3.09=>3.10. I've still got the Arsenal Dwarf position (although vacant). Might be related.

Misterstone, nope. The bolts I watched my dwarf going for were NOT in bins.

I had that issue you mentioned, and I think sometimes they go for bolts that have been forbidden. Also I think I once had an issue that involved hunters and military dwarves being assigned the same kind of ammo... I _think_.

Oh, yes, I also noticed them "claiming" forbidden ammo, but that's probably a different issue.

This should be handled for 0.31.11.
