| Summary | 0000378: Crash when selecting specific squad in military screen (daggers) | ||||
| Description | I have created a squad that can't be selected in the military screen, positions tab. When I try it, the game crashes. The game ran well until I created a second squad. Even while creating the squad, it was OK. But once I quit the screen and re-entered I can no more select the squad. I'm guessing this has something to do with the dwarves or position holders I put in the squad. The squad has only two members and I suspect one of them has to be the cause. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1) Download the save here: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1978 2) Enter military screen 3) In the positions tab, try to select the second squad | ||||
| Additional Information | By the way, I guess there's no way how to remove members from the squad without using the military screen? No way how to unbug my save... | ||||

I've had the same thing happen to me, and have uploaded my save here: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1981 My first squad was all melee and the second were all ranged if that matters. |
|
|
I have a save that reproduce this as well: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/155636/df_mil_screen_crash.7z Steps to Reproduce: 1. (m) go to military screen 2. press (down) a few times to highlight the last squad in the Positions tab 3. crash. |
|
|
I have exactly the same crash. It crashes every time when you press (m) then (down) to select the next squad. It crashes only in "Positions" tab. I tried avoiding this bug by going to "Equip" tab, then selecting the next squad, then going back to "Positions" tab, and in that case it crashed when I was going back to "Positions" tab with the second squad selected. I may find a save if these above are not enough. |
|
|
I have a save now where this is reproducible as well. It was working fine for a while, but I noticed it consistently crashed after a while, while trying to form a military. In my case, it crashes trying to go to the first squad, as the first slot is taken by the captain of the guard. |
|
|
Did more testing. Seems like the game crashes when I have more that 5 dwarves in a squad. Could someone try to confirm this? EDIT: Nope, that's not it. Tried creating several squads with no more than 4 dwarves. Crashed nonetheless. Right now I'm trying to find the reason because it's making my game unplayable. EDIT2: Whoever decides to test this: please note you have to make changes to the squad, then unpause the game and let it run for a few seconds before it notices the change. |

!!!FOUND IT!!! This problem is caused by equipping items, in my case a Large Bismuth Bronze Dagger left by a kobold thief. Whenever someone tried to equip that, it would cause a crash upon opening his squad in Military screen > Positions. After forbidding the dagger, I was able to draft my whole fort without trouble - before I could only get up to 10 dwarves, until thr 11th would claim the dagger (yeah, I don't have many weapons). Download this save: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2019 Steps to reproduce: 1. Disband the whole military 2. In stocks menu, forbid all weapons except the large bismuth bronze dagger. 3. Draft the whole fort. 4. Unpause the game, let it run for a few second, go back to the military screen, try to select each of the squads, watch it crash. Then try this: 1. Disband the whole military 2. In stocks menu, forbid the large bismuth bronze dagger. 3. Draft the whole fort. 4. Unpause the game, let it run for a few second, go back to the military screen, try to select each of the squads, watch it work perfectly. Could someone who has the same problem in their game prove/disprove my theory? |

I tried dumping the two large daggers I have, one of which I equipped by a dwarf in my second squad - the one which crashes. Waited for the daggers to be dumped, but it still crashes when I try to select the second squad in "Positions" tab. But I have discovered another thing. When I go to military screen then "Equip" tab and deselect all items from all members of the second squad then wait a while, crash in "Positions" tab stops happening. So it seems that not only daggers but some other item causes it too, gonna track it down. |
|
|
Well large daggers it is. It didn't crash if I went to "Equip" tab and deselected only the dagger-wielding dwarf's weapon. He was assigned "Individual choice - melee", I can reassign him back and no crash, even if he still wields the dagger. Only dumping the dagger without other changes didn't work for me. It was still crashing. It might be related to the fact that the dagger wielding dwarf is resting and is unconscious, so he has no chance to notice lack of his dagger and find a new weapon. So yeah, solution seems to be to dump all large daggers and either wait for the dwarves to find another weapon or if your military screen doesn't crash in the first squad, go to 'Equip' tab, then remove and add again weapons to dagger-wielding dwarves. |

Changing [SKILL:DAGGER] to [SKILL:SWORD] in large dagger raw entry fixes this too. I think the crash heppens when the game displays type of soldiers in the specific squad in "Positions" tab. It displays something like "2/2 Sworddwarves 4/4 Wrestlers" etc. Dwarves probably lack a name for knife user, gonna search the raws for proper fix. |
|
|
Good detective work, guys. I bet that's exactly what it is. Hopefully this saves Toady a lot of work. |
|
|
High five! :D |
|
|
Nice work, from the title that one looked tricky to find, and here you guys seem to have it all sorted out already. Good Job! |
|
|
Ok the skill change is the only fix I found. Adding [PROFESSION_NAME:THIEF:knifedwarf:knifedwarves] to dwarf raw entry didn't fix it, so lack of knife user name isn't the direct cause of this bug. Someone should test if other weapons requiring strange skills like for example Whip and Scourge cause this crash too. I am going to post in the forums about the fix. |
|
|
Here is the forum thread: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=53371.0 Hope it helps some people. |
|
|
Excellent.. change [SKILL:DAGGER] to [SKILL:SWORD] worked on my "press m instacrash" game |
|
|
0000444 0000536 I wouldn't close 0000536 yet, but there seems to be a similar behavior going on here. |
|
|
Daggers still cause problems for me, but for some reason I can't fix it by rewriting them to [SKILL:SWORD]. Forbidding the dagger and waiting a while till the soldier dropped it helped, though. |
|
|
Are you replacing the correct raws? The ones actually used are in your save folder. |
|
|
Yup, the save folder. It helped once, but then it started crashing again with SKILL:SWORD. But I guess this has to be a problem between my keyboard and the chair. For the time being, I forbid all daggers and wait for Toady to fix it :) |
|
|
I am having the same crash with no daggers being involved so far as I can tell. We do have a dagger in a weapon trap, but it's not involved at all. My one squad is set to short swords, and the one I can't select is set to "your choice ranged", but they aren't active at all, nor have we retrieved any ranged weapons from invaders. http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2084 |
|
|
I have a save which also crashed whenever I pressed m to access the military screen, and which was fixed by rewriting SKILL:DAGGER to SKILL:SWORD. Have yet to play further in that save to see if the fix is permanent or not. However, looking through my millitary (2 squads, 13 dwarves), none of my dwarves are wielding any daggers, and in fact the only dagger of any kind is a large iron dagger, originating I believe from a goblin thief, sitting in a weapon stockpile in my barracks. Reverting the change in the raws and checking the only two dwarves who had any skill in sword use (dabbling & proficient) in the first squad post-fix showed that neither of them had any skill in dagger use pre-fix. |
|
|
I suggest renaming this thread to: "Large Daggers Cause Crash on Military Screen" |
|
|
Crash confirmed in 31.04. It's still there. |
|
|
Save from 0002275: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4436079/region1.7z |
|
|
I've fixed up the 0002275 save for 0.31.07 (daggers, indeed). I'll check through the others as possible and then mark off this family (if it is all this issue). |
