Looking for savegames with night creatures.
« on: March 21, 2012, 06:54:56 am »

Well, like the title says... I wrote a dfhack plugin which detects cursed creatures on the map. Works fine with vampires, but so far I didnīt stumble on any werecreatures and other stuff for further testing. So if somebody can provide me with a savegame with werecreatures, undead (dwarf or non-dwarf) or whatever other curses may be out there I would greatly appreciate that. Current version (34.05), please. Preferrably unmodded, but that doesnīt matter much.

Oh, and it can be from adventurer mode, too, but Iīll crosspost on the other board to get their attention as well.

Can it detect vampire ghosts?

I have an alias'd vampire ghost sucking the life of my dorfs in one fortress. I can send you the save if it's of any use.

A vampire ghost would be nice to have, please upload the save somewhere so I can check it out.

Pretty sure it will detect the ghost and be able to tell you itīs real name (so you can engrave a slab with it). Currently it distinguishes between the states "alive" and "dead" - Iīm not sure if a ghost is already marked as "dead" by the game, so that would be interesting to find out. Hm... probably the ghost will show up as "dead" since I check if the creature has a death date. Iīll consider checking for the state "ghostly" as well to make the slabbing thing easier.
