Interesting. I haven’t been able to reproduce this one myself (but running on “latest” branch with r375). I take it you are playing on the stable branch with revision r345 (top-left of game screen)? If so, it may be already fixed. If not, maybe it takes something special in a save game to make it glitch out.
Hopefully @Relyss or someone else can get your image added so we can see the error messages.
Meanwhile, you’re probably quite right, I haven’t tried making it on a new game, and my game save is after the hearthling has been a shepherd for over a day (game time), so there’s plenty of time for other things to have crept in. Unfortunately I’ve also since overwritten the save file.
Also, yes, I’m Running 345 (x64). If I can replicate it on a new game, I’ll let you know better the circumstances. For now, I apologize for what may be a wild goose chase caused by my not poking at it more before submitting a report. (on that note, thank you for your patience with me submitting this).
Just so you know, you can click on any given line in the list of errors and it will pop up a window with fuller details of the error. If you can replicate some of these bugs in future, I suggest taking a screen shot of that part too. At least once for each unique error (a lot of those looked to be repeats). It will make it easier for the devs to identify the problem and fix it (if it isn’t already in r375).
this bug is a known issue, however this is the first time ive seen it with the shepherd, so if im not mistaken, those error messages just keep coming with each new shepherds crook, correct?
also, dont worry about “not poking” even just posting a pic of the error messages will help TR
This is a demote bug. I’m not sure 100% how many of these have they already fixed (since we have over 1300 reports right now (not counting the dups, but counting the NaBs).
In any case, thanks for reporting, @cprezalor, if you reproduce it in newer versions you know where to post
We don’t expect new users to find the duplicate reports here, since Discourse it’s a bit weird to use if it’s the first time you’re visiting this kind of forum… so don’t worry about that. Even checking old versions is fine since it can help us to know since when was the bug introduced.
Hi all,
Thanks for the screenshot and bug info about the shepherd.
I looked into this and I think I’ve fixed at least one version of the issue. @cprezalor – did you harvest a sheep for meat or have a sheep die by any chance? I fixed a demote bug where sheep harvested for meat would cause errors when you demote. The dead sheep are haunting you. OOooOOoo
@czprezalor,
Haha, actual ghost sheep would be awesome. XD
In this case, it was just the shepherd not realizing some of his sheep had died and when the shepherd changes jobs, he tries to release all his sheep, even the dead ones. Releasing a dead sheep causes things to be unhappy.
Sounds soooo like the origins of the weresheep… They will come back from the dead, looking for the shepherd who abandoned them to get a better job… and destroying everything on their way.
so don’t worry about that. Even checking old versions is fine since it can help us to know since when was the bug introduced.
and destroying everything on their way.
