ToME crashes whenever I try to save a new character.

#1 Post by Ithulta »

I've been playing for a while with a bundle that I patched and compile from the source, but yesterday, when I tried to save with a character I'd just created, the game just quit out of nowhere and I got a generic error message about so-and-so quitting unexpectedly. I could still save with characters that were already there, but I couldn't create a new character, which I tried doing again a few times. I compiled again, but I got the same problem with that bundle. I tried downloading the original source and compiling without the patches. Still the same problem. Eventually I deleted all my saves, global.svg, etc., but that didn't help. Finally I tried using the prebuilt bundle from the site, and that worked. For that one anyway. My own bundles still can not create new characters, though they can use character created with the prebuilt bundle. I have no idea what's causing this. Help?

EDIT:
I just noticed something else. When I create a character, the stats I see during character creation don't seem to have any bearing on what they are in-game. In fact, sometimes the stats will be above the max given during character creation. This happens no matter which bundle I'm playing or whether I'm just autorolling or actually specifying minimal stats. I'm not sure whether this was happening before and I just didn't notice it or just started happening, though I believe its the latter.

EDIT:
Forgot to say that it's 2.3.5.

EDIT:
I finally checked the bug reports (kicking myself about not doing that first; recreating some of my favorite character is a little annoying) and found this http://wiki.t-o-m-e.net/BugReport930. Even though this was reported as an error for Ubuntu Jaunty, but the provided patch worked. I guess it made it into the source for the prebuilt binary but not the source you can get directly from the website. Still no idea what's causing the weirdness with stats.

I've already edited my post so many times I figured I'd just put up a new post for once. I found that the stat distribution that's appearing regardless of what's displayed during character creation is constant for this character. In fact, it appears even when I try to build a different character the same way.

Never mind. I think I'm just retarded. Stat modifiers from sub-races are applied after you see your character's stats on the sheet. D'oh!
