Trees can make objects (and live creatures) float in mid
« on: February 27, 2008, 03:22:00 pm »

I was trying (unsuccessfully) to take over a goblin fortress. I had four dogs left. Curious to see where they are, I check them out. Three are hanging out around the wagon, but a fourth is... floating in midair, along with a corpse and a bunch of objects?

I look to the Z-level below for answer, and apparently the dog and all of the goblin's possessions are on top of a Alder.

At the very least, the dog should be able to move off of the tree. But it's not. Bug? I'd say so.

Save here, the dog in question is named Gomuxsnuk.
Excuse the carnage and tragedy, I hadn't played for a while and thought I could take over goblin forts like I used to, and... well, it just isn't that easy anymore.

As of 176.38a, chopping down the tree should recover the objects and the dog.  I'll take a look at the save and see if I can teach the dog to jump down.

It'd make sense if cats were getting stuck up trees.  :D
