[New man]

I started a game in 0.44.02.
Now playing in same world on 0.44.07.

There are problem with adventurers. Adventuring working fine, yes, but if I retire adventurer as a peasant, I cannot restart to play as him because DF crashes with null-pointer error (attemp to read memory at 0000000).
Since this problem not appear in new world that are generated on 0.44.07, I don't create bug report.

I played around 16 ingame years in DF Mode and want to do this thing: create an adventurer, retire him in a fortress, train him in squad and let him be a scolar. Then, after a while, I want to continue play in adventurer mode.

Are there some way to "posses" old adventurer without standard adventurer mode setup? E.g. with DFHack.

P.S. I'm sorry for my English but I hope that all text is clear.

You should report this on the bugtracker, although I'm not sure how relevant it'll be since it might be a problem with backwards compatibility. Anyone else experiencing the same thing, but on a current save?

[New man]

IMHO, there are no reason to report this on bug tracker because this bug doesn't reproduces at new generated worlds.

I just want some way to continue game on current save because I made a lot of stuff for my adventurer on it.

Probably a problem with backwards compatibility then.

You can create a new adventurer and travel to the place where you retired your old one, then use adv-bodyswap when you're viewing the description page of the unit you want to swap into.

[New man]

There isn't a command "bodyswap" in DFHack but I found this topic http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=163427.0

Maybe the script works, I will try to implement it later.

Also, I tried "mode set" command. In fortress mode I can to switch on Arena mode, then assume creature, then switch to Adventure mode.
However, there are problems: dwarves became hostile against each other and artifact inventory of my dwarf disappears.

bloop_bleep, I appreciate your help!

[bloop_bleep]

The command is specifically "adv-bodyswap", with the "adv-".  Should be included in default DFHack. Might need to use the "force" option (like "adv-bodyswap force"), unless you make your old adventurer a companion before you run the command.

[New man]

This command doesn't exist too

I added this command to my dfhack.

local other_unit = dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit()

change_adv2(other_unit, true)

I can't find how to get cursor position in lua so to use this you need:
1) press `l`ook
2) choose creature you need
3) type adv-bodyswap in console.

It works fine.
