| Summary | 0006463: Crash on save, does not save | ||||
| Description | Anytime I save, DF auto saves seasonally (as set through LNP v.15), or I quick save through DFhack it crashes. I never get to the cleaning objects screen. Nothing is saved when I reopen. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | save, auto save, or quick save | ||||
| Additional Information | This is a fortress I lost and reclaimed, and have successfully played for 6.5 in game years over the past month or so. I have reinstalled LNP and have the same error. I started a new game on another map to see if I would get the same error and I did not. Have played many other fortresses on this computer for over a year without a problem like this before. I have had a few other inconsequential crashes recently - a couple where DF crashed during the cleaning objects phase of a save but the save still worked, and Dwarf Therapist (v. 0.6.12, branch v.20.4) has crashed a couple times lately and that had never happened before. | ||||

Please reopen this if you can reproduce the problem in a save that's never been messed with via DFHack. Unless that can be ruled out, it's not worth the effort for Toady to track it down. |
|
|
I never used DFhack before I had the save problem. The only thing I did in DFhack was try and quick save when the other save methods caused a crash. |
|
|
We still need the save. Please upload it to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ and post the link here. |

Ok - I think I uploaded what you need: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8505 Thanks! |

It seems you somehow got one of the flag arrays in the nemesis data structures messed up: it has nonzero length value, but the memory is not allocated. Try this dfhack command: :lua df.global.world.nemesis.all[17368].flags:resize(1) I think the most likely way it can become this way immediately after load is that the array is set to nonzero length by the constructor of the object, but in the original save file it is stored as zero length. From the code in g_src, it looks like in that case read_file would reset array to NULL, but not clear slotnum. Of course, another question is why it is saved as zero length in the file... |
|
|
The nemesis entry itself appears to be totally corrupted - the nemesis ID is 16843009 (0x01010101), the unit ID is only 257 (0x00000101), the unit chunk id/slot values are both zero, and the other values are also nonsense. |

ag - Thanks for trying to help. I tried that dfhack command but got the error: "Error: cannot open df.global.world.nemesis.all[17368].flags:resize(1) no such file or directory stack traceback:" I've never looked at the save files before. What files are you looking at and what program are you using to look at them? |
|
|
A possibly better fix would be to type "lua" followed by "df.global.world.nemesis.all:erase(17368)" (and then "quit"). [edit] missed the ".all" |
|
|
quietust - thanks for the suggestion but that dfhack command didn't work either. I got the same error as before. Any other thoughts? Is there maybe something different about my set up that would do this? |
|
|
If you're getting the same error, then you didn't run the command properly - when you type "lua", you should get a "[lua]#" prompt, and that's where you need to type the second command (note that I just corrected a typo in it) once you've loaded your game (and then "quit" to bring you back to the "[DFHack]#" prompt). |
|
|
That totally worked!!! Thank you so much! |

Any possible relationship between this bug and 0001371? |
