Teleporting merchants
« on: November 01, 2007, 01:17:00 am »

The human caravan came straight through my mountain, randomly teleporting between levels.  I took a video of it, but I'm not sure how to post a video up here.  Any ideas?

Upload it to a remote site (you could try the wiki) and post a link.

Thanks.  I'll try that tomorrow.
BTW, you may want to update your sig...maybe to "Has admired a fine update of dwarf fortress recently."
hehe.

I've just had a similar thing, the caravan has had to go over the surface to the other side of my fortress, but in the process one of the caravans magically fell through the ground to the top level of my fortress.

However it may just be a display problem as he kept moving along the same route as if he were on the surface, and then appeared back on the surface as if nothing happened.

I recorded it too, the caravan in the watery room had just fallen through from above-ground.

I have this problem as well. It seems to happen whenever the human wagon would hit a tree. Instead of passing around it it teleports underground to my fortress hallways, and continues along them until it is past the tree.

In my case there are no trees on the map, but the wagons weave their way between boulders which may be causing the same effect.
