How to Memorialize fallen allys?
« on: December 17, 2010, 09:45:27 pm »

I recruited a mechanic, and he's dead. (He fought well though). Tossing him into some lake wouln't be very respectful. So, yeah.

You could bury him in a coffin/sarcophagus/casket, or you could make a slab at a mason's workshop and then engrave it with a memorial of him at a craftsdwarf's shop.

It's obvious, drop his sarcophagus (made of solid gold of course) on a platform (also made of solid gold) into magma.

If the body is recoverable, you can build a coffin for him to be placed in. Otherwise you can make and engrave a memorial slab for him.

A dwarf would see that and say, "Bring it on."

Build a 5x5 room that is 3 z levels tall.

Put gear assemblies in all eight corners and connect these assemplies with horisontal and vertical gears.. and place his sarcophagus (made from a material he likes) in the middle. The work you put in symbolize your appreciation for his efforts. The gears, immovable and without power, symbolize his unfaltering courage and determination: sturdy, complicated and enduring until the power was cut at the very end.
Now ... forever motionless.

haul the body to a place that remembers content (a lair).
Then if possible, build a fortress around the lair. Devote the fortress to building a tomb for your friend.
Abandon the fort leaving as little trace (other than the tomb) of your dwarves as possible.

don't, item's scatter when a fort is over lapping a lair it kinda cancels out the item holding.
best to either A) find the spot he died in and resurrect him using Dfusion (having race changer change him to a Demon_1 then travel to a spot then change him back, use the ghost form to keep his old wounds from re-killing him when you revive.)
B) create a adventurer reaction that makes a slade/or any heavy coffin and stuff the poor guy in it.
C) screw all that and revive him as a zombie by cracking open the adv_tools plugin and place this in the second line
Code: [Select]
function adv_tools.undead()
--this will revive a dead soul from the grave as a somewhat zombie... chances of it following you not so much
myoff=offsets.getEx("AdvCreatureVec")
vector=engine.peek(myoff+16,ptr_vector)
indx=GetCreatureAtPos(getxyz()) --use cursor and point at body
flg=engine.peek(vector:getval(indx),ptr_Creature.flags) --get flags
flg:set(1,0) --get flags
flg:set(12,1)
engine.poke(vector:getval(indx),ptr_Creature.flags,flg) --save flags
end
then
add this right next to "choices={"
Code: [Select]
{adv_tools.undead,"zombiebase revival"},What would happen if I'm correct is that your friend will rise as a walking moaning undead and you might. Want to Travel once you do or you might endanger your self if said friend gets hurt/rekilled/attacked.

If the body is recoverable, you can build a coffin for him to be placed in.
Then because of his added weight, the coffin is now a more effective weapon:

They do. But the "item holding" will work enough for it to be near where you left it (esp. if you left it in a bag full of heavy rocks :D )
And after you abandon the fort, the body should be in a coffin. A constructed coffin. So it should be ok. As for anything else you want to leave in the tomb, I have two words: Lead Bins. The bit about abandoning the fort leaving little-to-no trace was specifically to avoid the mass of random detritus. For extra fun, the last dwarf standing could breach the HFS, making the Tomb Of The Fallen Warrior an extra-special place to visit.

Can you put items in constructed chests, bags, or cabinets as an adventurer? Because you might be able to store items in his tomb that way.

Eat the body.

In all seriousness though, why isn't there a good way to bury companions in adventure mode?  Could this ever be implemented?
