| Summary | 0004596: Removing vanilla weapons eventually crashes game | ||||
| Description | I'm sure this has been reported at some point in time, but a search didn't turn up any matching results. Adding new weapons seems to work fine, but replacing old with new names will eventually cause a repeatable game crash. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Remove old weapons (short sword, mace, etc.), add new ones, eventual crash. Forming a squad and assigning them "individual choice" for weapons will often make the crash happen faster. | ||||
| Additional Information | The game starts up fine, and will usually run for atleast an hour before crashing, unless you form a squad, as above. Also, if you save a game, mod in new weapons mid game, and then continuing after a save, the game will not recognise the changes. Not sure if this is a bug or not, but would be great if it could be fixed/changed, as it would add a lot of replayability to old games. | ||||

The game isn't designed to allow modifying objects in an already-generated world - changing the properties of existing objects without changing the object IDs themselves or changing the order in which the game loads them (i.e. rearranging them within their .txt files or renaming the .txt files themselves) usually doesn't cause problems, but there are no guarantees. Actually removing old objects or adding new objects is known to break things (to the point that the game will often refuse to load) because while some parts of the game refer to objects by their name, most parts refer to them by a numeric index which would become inconsistent if you started adding/deleting things in the middle of the list. |

Not much of a bug here; you cannot remove items from an already generated game. |
