a bug or what?
« on: April 05, 2011, 10:07:51 pm »

heres the thing, I have a ghost somewhere on the map, he doe'snt figure on the units list but i can send my soldiers and i can't find him on the map, he's a miner that got encased in magam, he's aparently supposed to be buried in one of my cofin but obviously he's not. i can't find him obn th engrave slab list either, do i have to dig out his body wso i can bury him or what? i really want to make him disapear because i heard that he could be the cause of what's causing my crazy lag (making it almsot unplayable)

To destroy the ghost, either A) the dwarf must have a memorial slab made that is dedicated to them and built, or B) they must have at least part of their remains stored in a coffin. Since you can't find this particular ghost on the slab engraving list (sadly not uncommon), you'll have to go with option B. Mine out the obsidian, find the bones, and inter them and the ghost should be put to rest.

Note that newer versions supposedly fix the massively-laggy ghost bug, so you might try upgrading if you can't manage either of the options laid out above.

We are on _25 for a reason you realise. :P

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...

You should be able to import your old save folder without any trouble. The lagging shouldn't occur, as it was fixed in a recent patch (Ghosts are supposed to be annoying, but not game-breaking).

They're all bugged. This game's in alpha, after all. .25 is just LESS bugged.
