Unknown?!?!? How does I kill
« on: August 29, 2012, 07:26:06 pm »

Alright everyone, I've had this big problem with these creatures called "unknowns", I don't know how too kill them and if you have any tips or advice that'd be real helpful, thanks  :)

Edit: Alright I have some screen shots, and no I don't think im using a mod, I have the lazy newb pack, and when I look for a description,it always crashes my game...also, im just not very sure on how to add an image to this...

What... exactly is an "unkown?"  What is its description when you look at it, and are you using any mods?

I think the slaughter part is what made them angry.

Pics or it didn't happen. What happens when you attack and what body parts does it have?

"Normal body parts" doesn't really help much. Explain.

Body parts of a human, a dwarf, or an elf, just look at the photos, have you seen anything like it before?

Isn't this related to the bug that lets you get infinite Ultra Balls?

Children you rescue shouldn't behave like rabid beasts.  I guess your regular companions shouldn't act like rabid beasts either.
I think that's a little more impossible than I'm likely to have time for.

"L"ook at 'em man.  Show us what the body parts are.  I don't know what a body part of a human elf or dwarf is, I assume you mean it has four limbs and a head, but look at it, what is the description.



Side note: could it be a troll?

However try adv. attacking it (A) to see what its bodypart components are.

Most likely this is a glaring bug, this happens in alot of games. It was notable in the Pokemon series for creating a new type of creature after the designers found glitched ones called missingno, aka missingnumber. Basically this is what happens when the games code gets wonky and uses non existent files for bodyparts and such, often making it unbeatable. Have !FUN!

7/10 Has much more memorable sigs but casts them to the realm of sigtexts.

Indeed, I do this.

The same exact bug can't possibly occur across multiple games.

Here's a tip, though... Use Russian characters in your WPA5 passphrase. If your spontaneous AI is anything like my spontaneous AI (not as aggressive as yours, good conversation, but actually worse than me at chess*), it can't handle any character outside of the CODEPAGE 437 list.

*I hope. It could just be lulling me into a false sense of security.

Yeah, I doubt Pokemon and Dwarf Fortress have the same game code. 
I've never seen or heard of this before, are you using a modded version of DF?
