Vampires use fake names so none of that is really relevant. Neither of the names "English" or translated are visible in-game (well, except for the occasional bugged announcement).

Yes this.
There is noone named Catten anything in any list anywhere.

I actually found that Dwarf Therapist has a cheat option in its options menu where it will highlight a vampire in purple. After I did that, I found it was a visitor named Stukos somethingorother, and promptly used DFHack to "eliminate him."

Also, how about banning visitors from the tavern/temples? They'll all leave after a while. Then you only have your long-term visitors to cast suspicion over.

How do I do this? I'd be happy if I never got a visitor or guest at all ever. The whole system is bjorked imo.

In this version you've got visitors and guests. You have no control over their comings and goings.

I cannot go through all the visitors coming and going and be bothered to find a vampire. I really have better, more fun, and less impossible, things to do.

So, I know I can use DFhack to 'cursecheck detail' and get the name of the vampire.

Problem is, that name isn't on my list of civilians or visitors, in the 'u' menu. How then can I find the dwarf by his true name, if he is using an alias?

Can anyone tell me why my archers are won't fire their bolts at my prisoners?
and secondary, why where the water in the brook keeps spawning from?

i cant open it, but maybe i can help
do they have ammo?
 
Fleshbits UTC-6Today at 10:50 AM
I have stockpiles of ammo right next to them
 
『TroglodyteUprising』Today at 10:51 AM
do they have quivers?
also, are the prisoners in cages?
 
Fleshbits UTC-6Today at 10:56 AM
they all have quivers. prisoners were released from cages via a lever. archers are defending burrow against carved fortifications on other side of released prisoners
 
『TroglodyteUprising』Today at 10:57 AM
maybe take them off the burrow
 
Fleshbits UTC-6Today at 10:58 AM
I've taken them off and put them on several cycles
 

『TroglodyteUprising』Today at 11:01 AM
i see
did you set them to kill the prisoners?
like, through squad orders?
 
Fleshbits UTC-6Today at 11:03 AM
through schedules - defend burrows
it has worked for years on the save, and then last season when I added beak dogs to the prisoners, it stopped working

are you sure you haven't linked the workshop to a stockpile or linked the stock pile to only give to somewhere else?
also check the profile of the workshop if it limits the user

Yes I am sure.
Had some people inspect the saves and they say the mods bugged the game.
All my cloths were 6000/10000 or some such so they wouldn't be recognized.

Worked on a fortress for weeks with this launcher, tileset, and whatever mods it entails.

Today, it seems to have completely bugged out. I can't get my clothes maker to make yarn clothes despite tons of wool cloth being right next to him. Same with the bone bolts. Tons of bones, but he cancels the job saying there are none. Same with totems. Tons of skulls, but he cancels the job saying there are none.

Posted on the main forums to complain.
Of course people are coming back and blaming the mods.

Is there a way I can run this tileset in the original LNP, without all the mods this launcher puts in?

Firstly: if you're trying to figure out why jobs are cancelled, enable display of job cancellation announcements (allowing to to see "need 1 unused X cloth" messages.

updated the save to reflect this

Secondly: You run some kind of mod, which took me a long time to discover (when trying to remove and rebuild the clothier a weird workshop building selection with guild and whatnot workshops appeared).
My guess is that the modding is has destroyed the recognition of yarn as being yarn, so you should ask in the relevant mod thread.

updated the post to reflect this

Thirdly: Bins are evil. Don't use them until you know exactly when they can be used safely, or you'll get lots of cancellations (you can hide the messages, but not the effects).

Can you elaborate? Bins have been working for a long time for me until this started happening.

I do what you do, but I haven't found it impossible to keep up with corpses from sieges.

I suspect the trouble is that you're hauling the bodies much too far. In general, I don't recommend having permanent corpse stockpiles--that requires a lot of space, plus every time a dwarf hauls a body to the stockpile, they see *every* body in the stockpile.

Instead, make a garbage zone over either an atom-smasher or a 5 z-level-deep garbage chute (with optional magma at the bottom) right in your battleground areas. Make several, if necessary. Then, you can either manually dump all the bodies and body parts (my preference, even though it's a bit tedious), or you can set up corpse stockpiles to feed into a minecart set to auto-dump into the atom-smasher/garbage chute. That way, they don't have to walk very far at all to dispose of the bodies.

Another thing that might help is to make your military larger.

Since the save, I have made a QSP for corpse disposal into a pit off the main hallway.
It isn't helping.

I went from 70 sane  dwarves down to 19 after one invasion during the cleanup.
It took them more than 9 months to clean up the mess.

There are 100s of teeth and body parts for every corpse. For some reason they seem to love to go grab the teeth first, so they can view the corpse 60 times before picking it up.

I limit the corpse pickup to my military, since they are the only ones that have any discipline and supposedly that's what you need for the job, but in doing so, it is even slower, because military units want to go do their individual combat drills when I have disabled every single job but corpse pickup for emergency cleaning.

It is really quite hopeless. The negative modifiers far out influence the positive ones.

This is my 4th attempt on this version. I've read everything I can.
It seems inevitable that the fort collapses due to everyone going into fits from witnessing dead bodies.

I execute an invasion perfectly. I tell all my citizens to go to burrows away from the miasma and dead bodies. I then tell my military to do nothing but haul corpses and clean...for what appears to be an amount of time that is equal to how long it takes for the next invasion! All the bodies have been hauled to walled zones outside the fort, but they keep accumulating.

Inevitably, my military breaks down
Then the untrained replace them
Then they break down.

I've got artifact statues, tables, chairs, legendary bedrooms and dining areas. Nothing matters.

I don't see how anyone can play this version with how spineless the dwarves are.
