Mummies not working?
« on: July 04, 2015, 03:25:54 pm »
For a little modding project I'm working on, I wanted to see how mummies reacted with other living creatures (IE me) and their fellow undead. So I quickly make an adventurer, and head out to the first tomb I can find. Bash the door down, look around a bit and I finally find the sarcophagus of the supposed mummy. Except nothing happens. There are corpses littering the floor, bunch of old traps and some loot, but no mummy. I've tried this on three worlds now with the same result, so I'm honestly a little confused. They were smaller worlds, but I don't think that'd play any part in that.

Can anyone confirm for me whether or not mummies are kaput?

Just a note, I don't think it's this bug, since one of the tombs I entered had the coffin right at the entrance of the tomb. I didn't save once during that run - but still no mummy.

Mummies work, just not all tombs have mummies. It seems to be a 1/10 ratio for me.

If any of them are made of fire, throw stuff, run, and think non-flammable thoughts.

Not all tombs have mummies, especially if its later on in the history, because if I remember correctly other people can get in the tombs and set the mummies off. They have this weird habit of despawning and never coming back (at least for me) once you set them off and then either rest/leave the tomb.
