[40d] Goblin in limbo causing siege flag not to raise
« on: April 04, 2009, 07:13:10 am »
Hello all, long time stalker of the forums (in particular the bloodlines/community forts), and fan of the wonderfully crazy world of dwarves.

However, sadly, I've been drawn to register as my first fort has however struck a problem that wasn't anything fun like magma or nobles demanding to much or elephants.

It's a goblin who was hit by a hammer dwarf (or axe dwarf, not to sure) and propelled into the air in the normal amusing and satisfying way. However, it didn't hit anything, it just stays there.

It's there in the unit list, but I can't select it with v. Somehow this goblin in limbo seems to be valiantly holding up a single ghost siege.

Looked at the other problems, but the most similar had siege flags not going away, but no goblin in the unit list.

I play non modded DF, but did try to use tweak to fix this, I couldn't, so I've turned towards the much more knowledgeable users on these forums.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Even if he's in the unit list, the Dwarf Companion fix should still work.  Look here and here for details, and post more questions here if you have them.

I think that is caused by saving while the unit is flying.  I did this once, but with one of my dwarves.

Never again will I build a giant road in the sky without any sort of rail on it.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

Oh, thanks, will try that on the morrow (near midnight at the moment, DFing tends to warp time). And yes, I think it may have been caused by saving at that time...  :-\

Haven't use Dwarf Companion, I thought that if the tweaks warping and editing of tiles didn't work it may not. But since it seems that you had success I'll be trying that tomorrow!

Hopefully I don't become to used to the power of Dwarf Companion :P

Thanks for all the prompt replies!

EDIT: Worked! Thanks very much, glad I didn't try to work out how to install all that python etc on last night though. :P

Cheers once more! ;D
