Any (cheating) way to get rid of caravan guard ghosts?
« on: March 19, 2012, 12:02:56 am »
I've got a malicious one running about. Body disappeared; not on corpses list and no body parts listed owned by him either. Suspiciously, I have a nameless "peasant corpse" that WAS buried in a coffin, but it didn't stop this guy from raising as a ghost. I suspect something went wacky when a necromancer raised his body.

So any way to either get rid of him or make him a non-violent ghost, via any available hacking methods? He's killing my vampire bookkeepers.

But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Used to be able to runesmith it.  Now, dunno.  Wait for it to die of old age (if its not an elf) maybe.  Don't think even fell moods will target merchants.

If you haven't used DFHack/Tweak yet, try that.  Some foreign casualties can still be slabbed, if you know they're dead.

Might be something you could do with DFHack/Mode, too, maybe taking control of the ghost and leaving the map, but that's a utility that can crash the game awfully easily.

He he he.  Yeah, it almost looks done...  alas...  those who are in your teens, hold on until your twenties...  those in your twenties, your thirties...  others, cling to life as you are able...<P>It should be pretty fun though.

Yeah. DFhack's tweak clear-missing worked for me after a caravan guard got thrall'd.

I challenge you to a game of 'Hide the Sausage', to the death.

Looks like I can slab him after the tweak thing in DFHack. Didn't even notice that option before.

Thanks :D

wow.  that is awesome. 
and for what it's worth "tweak clear-missing" is a much better name for this spell than "turn undead"
