Summary

0006897: Adventurer constantly teleports between two locations on unretire.

Description

My human adventurer, when unretired outside in his starting town, constantly toggles between two locations: The building full of people he started in, and someplace outside of it. There was no way to end the toggling besides retiring the adventurer or saving the game.

Steps To Reproduce

1: Make adventurer[Not tested with any race besides human.]
2: Move outside of the building you started at.
3: Retire your adventurer.
4: Unretire your adventurer.
5: Watch the toggling effect.

Additional Information

I theorize that this is caused by the adventurer becoming part of the civilisation he was originally and moving around in the two weeks between his retirement and unretirement. Thus, when loaded, the game has two locations for him: The one you were at when you retired him, and where he moved while retired. That seems like it could plausibly cause the toggling.

Example save available at http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8820 [^] Unretiring either of the adventurers there should initiate the toggling.
