Murderous ghost of the oceans
« on: October 03, 2016, 09:43:28 pm »

Can anybody tell me what has happened?

So this was a normal dwarf who appeared to be a good stone worker.
He died and became a ghost.
He was then put to rest because someone found him and put him into a coffin.
His coffin was destroyed because his fellow dorfs decided to relocated the grave yards.
He couldn't be buried anymore.
His name didn't even appear on the inscribe slab list.

Then I retired the fort and found his name among other historical figures. He became a murderous ghost, in The Stoked Oceans?

The Stoked Oceans didn't have anything to do with my fort, my fort was in the desert.

Its the same hist-fig bug that makes were creatures appear that way retroactively.

Bear it no mind.

So the ghost was already exiled by this bug?
OK then, maybe I'll just dump the corpse.

I may be wrong, but I think the bug is related to legends mode only.  Basically the place where it should have the location is currupted/empty and it just gives you some random (or more likely upper left hand corner of your world map) location.  The legends are broken, not your ghost.  You still have to deal with that.

I think the ghost was broken too. That was why I looked for it in the legend mode in the first place.

I had something similar happen once: a dwarf was killed, returned as a ghost, put to rest, had his slab destroyed by a FB, and when I checked Legends Mode later on it turned out he'd returned on the other side of the world.

"Well haunting Clampost didn't go so well last time, maybe I'll try some other place. Somewhere by the sea... yeah that's what I need."
