animal screen weirdness
« on: September 11, 2006, 02:55:00 pm »

for some reason, stray wardogs no longer show up in the animal (adoption) screen.

it did show up before when there were stray puppies.. not exactly sure when it stopped showing.. all i know is that some hunting dog died (of old age... the 2nd one to have done so, along with a wardog and a cat) either before or after.. and that all the puppies were grown to dogs and trained. (game world generated + started under 101d, played under 104.19d +104.21a.. don't think it has anything to do with the change from 19d to 21a either.

i'm guessing the idea is that it's meant to be possible to assign dogs+puppies, but not wardogs/hunting dogs from that screen


the 2nd weird thing is this message i got..

blahblah mule(tame) cancels store item in stockpile: too injured
(also store item in bin)
the mule is a new pet.. and i think the animal came from the dwarven merchants.. i just bought 2 cages.. didn't check if anything was inside 1st though.

a look at the animal didn't shown item or wounds.

....
just had a look at where one of the new cages is.. and on that tile are a bunch of goods that i didn't buy.. so i guess the mule in the cage was carrying those items and that's what it was unloading.. weird stuff

wonder if i got them for free or if it's included with the price of the cage.

...
incidentally... i can see my trappers grabbing armors and placing them on the floor in his bedroom.. would putting an armor stand/weapon rack in there help? do i need to set them to accept everything? (doesn't really make sense to have to set it, to be honest)

a few months later, puppies born + trained

and now you can see stray wardogs showing up in the animal screen to be toggled....

right.. saved game and uploaded http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=ACD7C86030A50973

slight problem... once i continue after saving the wardogs are no longer in the animal screen...

okay, I'll look into the animal screen.

for the mule, I have no idea why it would have anything.  this was a separate mule in a cage?  and they gave it items to carry?  bizarre.

i don't know.. all i know is that i bought 2 cages. then i saw 2 new animals. a mule and a cow. then i got the messages and saw said items on the floor in the same tile as the cage.

so presumably the caged mule was lugging that stuff
