(tame bat) has flown its way out of confinement!
« on: February 28, 2014, 08:50:19 pm »

Since when does that happen?

The bat isn't my bat - the elven caravan just arrived, and it came with them. Even so: What??

Dying (ceasing to be alive) is also not a Moodable skill. Even totally unskilled Dwarves seem to do it correctly.

Some vermin can escape from animal traps and cages, and elves tend to carry around vermin in their caravans, alongside the other animals.

There is a bug where vermin cannot escape from most cages, but some mods fix this.

E: I found the bug report on the Mantis database. Its ID is 0006117.

Da Vinci is correct. Without the patch vermin could only escape from artifact cages/traps.

IIRC the bug was that vermin wouldn't escape from normal cages, but would escape from artifact cages. When the check was fixed, the vermin can escape from normal cages or animal traps, but not artifact ones.

It doesn't normally happen in the vanilla game (except for with artifact cages.) The fix is part of Lazy Noob Pack, I think.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

This bug is part of a DFHack patch that fixes the vermin-can-only-escape-from-artifacts bug.
