I want to ask why do you remove the fog of war every turn? You can type 'wogeyeofsauron' instead

I always use this script to reveal the map at start, for testing purposes, passability, see if AI moves correctly etc. Will remove when release, naturally.

I figured out that the problem with load/save on 111 is common for all wogified maps. There's no such a problem with XXL SoD maps.

Thank you guys, you saved me from depression

Would it be possible to make a patch for the executable, no matter which version is? (For AlexSp)

I was not able to reproduce load crash (need a map). By the way, you should preserve -1 value, compare EDI to 65535 after MOZX.

Is that branch ever executed? I mean, could the value be -1 at all?

Check any wogified 252 x 252 map.

I checked. No crash. Need a map where game crashes at your PC.

I think it can take place. ERM (manual control word assigment), object disabling and so on.

Well, I answered on DF2. Can't repeat this anymore
Should check the random_maps folder on my Windows 7 machine.

Is the first day crash occurring also in random maps or it has to do with custom map(more objects)?

Also the map I sent you (AlexSp) does not wogify. So you mean wog maps maybe?

I wonder why you can't save on 111 and can on 112? What's the problem? I wish I had more time. This week eats it with supersonic speed.

The last ERA.dll fixed the problem of day one. Now I can delete objects, loop through any type/subtype, save/load any day. The next problem, and probably the last and critical is why at some point, adding some object in the map makes it crash on start. I had to delete several days of work and take backup. It is over my head what's going inside this size of map.

Added decoration in some water area. It crashed. I removed one object, works. I add one monster, it crashes. I take backup from days ago and add 250 monsters to see if any limit. Works. So, what could be...

This is what happens when you try to fix the program not knowing how it works
I feel sorry for you and everyone who tries to do similiar things. It's like doing surgery blind.

I took backup and tested the map for passability/new monoliths and keymasters. Just walking straight on the roads it took 26 months to finish, this promise at least 48 months of real play

I will add monsters first and when everything is ready, I will add missing decorations in water areas. If I get a crash again, I will post the log. Since then , can I ask you if it is possible to fix view air on this size, like you fixed the pointer on minimap? I am unable to spell view areas below y=144, the pointer resets. Not a lethal problem, but would be great if it was a possible fix.

Just checked View World, View Air, and View Earth on your map. Nothing holds me from viewing the entire 252 x 252 x 2 map Though there is one known issue - the map pointer resets if you set it too far right, or down (x > 252, or y > 252). Nevertheless, you may wish to try the HD mod, there is no the above issue with the map pointer there

Thank you for taking the time to investigate

When I am in the labyrinth, I can't use view air in. The pointer shows the labyrinth but the view I get is a lot far on left side. if I try to scroll down and on right side, the pointer resets in previous location. This labyrinth can be done only with view earth/air. If can't be fixed, I will reveal cells of artefacts in, not a big issue, but will be much easier.



Try to place a purple hero in and cast view air on labyrinth. Are you able to locate with it the four artefacts? I can't on my system. View earth works okay.
Also this map is not for HD mod, because of DL dialogs, which need to be differently done. I will surely add some fixes to make it compatible with, but this only at advanced work state. Now I am only 50% done.
