It's people exactly like you guys who keep me updating this thing! :D
Also because of those who have graduated to become pros and no longer need LNP, but nevertheless wouldn't have started without it.

Hey man, I wouldn't be playing DF without this pack.  I first tried months ago to get into it, but the combination of the arcane ASCII graphics and the lack of a proper interface for managing dwarves (which Dwarf Therapist handles beautifully) caused me to give up after only a few hours.

I gave it a second go just a few versions ago, but on the recommendation of others did so with LNP instead, and it made for a completely different experience.  I've been hooked on DF ever since, largely thanks to you.

Even though I thought I had "graduated" to doing my own installs, having to manually configure DT for 34_07 sent me back here to see if you had updated, and low and behold, easy installation is back :)

So I wanted to chip in my mucho thanks for maintaining this pack man.  Much obliged!

It appears the above did the trick!   My dwarves took their own sweet time about getting around to dumping the body, but they finally did it just now :)

Thanks for the help guys!  Much obliged!

Ah cool, thanks.  Have the corpse assigned to dump now, but not the cage. 

Now let's see if the other dwarves get around to claiming him :)

The problem is that I can't really dump him because he doesn't show up on the cage when it's built, just when it's in "item form" in a stockpile :\

Well, flipping the connected level just causes the cage to pop into "item form" with the dwarf corpse still inside.  Will try transferring it to the trade depot the next time a caravan rolls through town :)

did you try linking it to a lever and pulling it?

Not yet.  Will give that a try right away.

DF Gameplay Questions / Getting a Dwarf corpse out of a cage
« on: March 31, 2012, 07:24:16 pm »
I've run into a bit of a head-scratcher where the corpse of one of my Dwarves somehow got caught in a cage trap.  Now, whether the cage is in the stockpile, or whether I build it, I apparently can't get him out of there.

To make it doubly odd, he actually doesn't show up at all when I build the cage, only when it is returned to the stockpile.

Any advice on how I can get him out of there so I can lay him to rest?

I'm on version 34.06.
