40d16 - I have a ghost.
« on: November 18, 2009, 04:43:48 pm »

I am really not sure how big of a problem this is, but two external utilities (Stonesense And Dwarf Therapist 0.4.2) See a dwarf that does not exist.

He is the child Cerol Astoddodok according to Dwarf Therepist.  I found him next to a boulder in stonesense, but inside dwarf fortress he is not there.  He also is not in the units list or anywhere I can find.  (Including the deceased units.)

I have tried saving and reloading, but he still shows up.

I have a save of it in case anyone wants to see it.

* edit: found him in the game log

A kidnapper has made off with the Child Cerol Astoddod˘k!

Must have missed that as a tantrum spiral was taking my population from 157 to 18.

Yea, it happens to everybody when you get a kidnapped baby or child. Its like they are in limbo, they aren't exactly dead, but they aren't exactly alive either, yet not undead, know what I'm saying.

Odd that the kid would show up in a visualizer like stonesense though.

There are two stonesenses, one is the visualizer and one is a revealer type program.  I wish they hadn't used almost the same name for their programs.  One has a space between the two words and one does not, but I can never remember which is which.  I had to put "revealer" and "visualizer" in their folder names to keep them straight.

It's not a bug in DF, which knows whats going on with the kidnapee.

Its just us hackers who cant figure out how it keeps track...
