Getting rid of unknown ghosts
« on: July 04, 2011, 06:41:02 pm »

This often leads my friends into a fruitless google search.

If you don't have a name to engrave on your Slab (i.e. it's missing from the engrave menu in Craftsdwarf workshop and you checked and checked again) and there's an undead Ghost bothering you (or littering your Unit List) go get hold of current version of Runesmith app and when the game is running find your ghost (the unit list there in Runesmith can be sorted by name, yeah) and go to Flags tab and mark both 'Dead' and 'Killed' flags and then write your changes into memory (the floppy disk -- Diskette -- icon) . You can then safely disconnect the tool from the game itself by pressing disconnect (the broken plug icon).

This works for any ghosts, naturally, but you can have a Slab engraved for your favourite miner that met his or her unfortunate end in magma whose corpse is now unreachable, can't you?
