[38c] Transdimensional body parts
« on: February 27, 2008, 02:26:00 pm »

When I hack a goblin fort or a cave or somesuch to bits with an axe, body parts have a tendency to appear on the floor above where the slaughter happened, even very far from the nearest stairwell and after a bend or two in the passageway.  I haven't really worked at isolating this -- it's not *completely* impossible that the body part ricocheted off four walls up a stairwell a total distance of 30 tiles --, but it seems buggy.

All items are scattered randomly between adventurer visits.

This sounds more like you explode a goblin, then you walk up stairs, and hey there's his arm! and his leg is over there!  Instead of killing, leaving to heal and coming back.

I had this thing in the fortress mode. I had a house with "fortification" windows on 2nd and 3rd floor and my woodcutter killed a skullking thief downstairs. His leg flew in the bloody arc and was stuck in the fortification window. The bad thing that the dwarves can't get it (they can get items on the tile they are standing only) and it SMELLS with miasma.

I had a limb end up in some fortifications too.  I just mined it out and constructed new ones.
