| Summary | 0005890: The 'next vehicle id' is initialized with garbage on upgrade from 0.34.07 | ||||
| Description | There is a global variable in the game that holds the next ID that would be used for a new vehicle object. When a save is upgraded from 0.34.07, this variable is initialized with random garbage, including sometimes big negative values (especially on linux). | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Open an old save, look at variables in memory. | ||||
| Additional Information | I didn't notice any actual functionality failures with negative ids, thus 'minor'. I suspect this is caused by an uninitialized local variable. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

I can confirm this on Windows. I loaded three different .07 saves. The first two (both fairly mature forts) got the same fairly large value (1489568466), and a third (a fort saved immediately after embark without any development) got a somewhat smaller value (64485885). I didn't test to see whether reloading the same save more than once yields the same value. |
