| Summary | 0004960: Crash while loading save with message "Missing plant gloss:[blank]" | ||||
| Description | When I try to load a particular game, DF crashes and give an error message that reads "Missing plant gloss: [blank]". Other saves load fine. In the save folder, I have all the "region x" subfolders and a "current" folder. The "current" folder is empty except for the raw folder. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Attempt to load save. Crash every time. | ||||
| Additional Information | Using the Ironhand graphics via the LNP. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Please upload your save file to DFFD or somewhere else convenient - without it, there's no way to reproduce this bug. |

The save is here: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=5187 This is my first time zipping and uploading a save, so please let me know if something is wrong. |

Somehow, the object name for MEADOW-GRASS (the first plant object) got corrupted within the save file - after decompressing world.sav and fixing it using a hex-editor (starting at offset 0x0F3D04, overwriting the 8 bytes of junk with "MEADOW-G" so the rest of it spells "MEADOW-GRASS"), I was able to successfully load the fortress. |
|
|
Bizarre! Can you recommend a hex editor to use? I haven't done this sort of thing for a long time. And how do I decompress the save (I assume you mean something beyond just opening the rar)? EDIT: I figured out both. Thanks so much for all your help! |
|
|
Marking "unable to reproduce" since the actual corruption event doesn't seem reproducible. |

Reminder sent to: Toady One A weird save corruption thing you might want to be aware of -- see Quietust's note at 0004960:0018987. |
