bug with magma related pet death
« on: December 24, 2011, 08:15:02 pm »

My metalsmith's pet wound up in my magma trap as I was using it to kill about a dozen goblins. I'm not sure what exactly happened to the body, I'm assuming it burned into nothingness in the magma. It doesn't show up on the u list at all. However, every couple of seconds I get a "blacksmith cancels give food: animal inaccessible" message. When I view the blacksmith's relationships his pet still shows up, and when I view his pet everything is normal except for a "His upper body is gone" message at the bottom. Zoom is grayed out, as there is no longer a body to zoom to. I'd just kill the guy, but he is a legendary metalsmith.

It seems to be the same problem experienced in this thread(note the upper body is gone message, and magma, pet, etc): http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=84333.0

Also, is there any way I can solve this problem with dfhack? Some way to delete that pet entry, or at least move it to another animal.

The "upper body is gone" message is seen for all dead creatures.

Yeah, there is a bug here.

Submitted eight months ago! Eeek.

Hmmm. That looked promising, but the pet doesn't show up anywhere under the dwarf's readout. And it doesn't show up on the pet list either edit: I found the "show dead" option and the pet shows up. As far as I can tell there is no way to remove it, or to change it's owner. On another note, can I use runesmith to set off a fortress wide fel mood?
