Creatures with 'wounded' icon not having any wounds
« on: October 30, 2006, 01:13:00 pm »

There's a war dog in my fortress with a flashing red + as if it were seriously wounded, but everything on its wounds screen is white.

This also happened to one of my jewelers, yet his + is yellow as if he were only moderately wounded.

Was this from an updated save before the toes were added, or were the bodies otherwise changed?  When bodies change, it heals all of the body parts to compensate, but it doesn't restore global conditions like the blood level.  This can lead to some residual flashing that should probably go away over time, though it's unclear if it does or not.

It doesnt go away Toady.
However the affected dwarf I have seems to be living a completely normal life, working, eating, sleeping. All the while blinking with the medical "+".

Ed:
Forgot to mention shes been like that for about 3-4 game years.

Unless it happens in a new game, I guess it's best just to let these phase out over time as a save artifact rather than spending time fixing them.
