Cannot put ghost to rest
« on: March 19, 2012, 03:07:27 am »
After necro siege i collect all bodies from above and atomsmash them. First thought that was a good idea - they don't rise again, but now seems that they returning as ghost and i cannot engrave slab - there is no name for that ghost in a engrave menu. So it's a bug or a feature?

A known bug number #3708 - Ghost names that can't be engraved on a slab and nameless slab engravings.

And it may be a good idea to post your bugged save to DFFD and mention it on bugtracker: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=3708

I actually found it quite amusing that the destroyed corpses of dwarven zombies warrant proper burial. The humans and elves can rot in a heap for all my dwarves care, but these unknown, unnamed dwarves deserve all the trappings and treatment of any citizen of the empire.

Wasn´t this supposed to be fixed in 0.34.05? In any case my last fortress had 3 Necro Towers near her and after about 1 year after killing a necro with my magma-Trap he came back as a ghost and got into my Corpse-Stockpile with about 500 rotting corpses (btw I think those take to long to be butcherable) --> Population went from 197 to 3 (vampires).
