Ghosts dropping corpses

Post by Sandric » Sun Nov 16, 2008 3:17 pm

I'm not sure if this is a universal problem, or whether it's entirely appropriate to post here; the ghosts in Feebov's mansion drop corpses.

I used my builder character and on the test system can confirm that ghosts (at least the ones in Feebov's) do drop a corpse, i can not check the flag settings on the mob to see if they are set to not drop a corpse and this is therefore an area bug.
(13913) (Translucent) A ghost is hovering here.
These incorporeal undead are made from the restless soul of
beings that did not have enough time to fulfil their promises
or seek vengeance over those who wronged them.

A ghost is in perfect health.
a ghost is using:
<worn as armour> energy hide
You peek at the inventory:

-----------------------------------------------------

You hear a ghost's death cry.
13991 - Tunnel
N-Darkness 13992 S-Darkness 13990
The ground of this damp tunnel is covered with a thin layer of
mud, in which several step prints can be seen. Small brown herbs
managed to grow between the loose stones of the walls. Some of
the brass torch holders that line the wall have fallen and are
now rusting in the mud.
(10) The corpse of a ghost is here. (superb)
(17) A pool of spilled blood lies here. (superb)
You feel vibrations caused by something tunneling nearby.
look corpse

They are RACE_GHOST and NO_CORPSE.

How about wraiths?

This incorporeal undead is a creature born of evil and darkness.
It is said that wraiths despise all living things, as well as the
light that nurtures living beings. This undead is more or less
humanoid in shape but has no features, except for the glowing red
points of its eyes.

This corpse has recently been slain.
It is medium in size.
Your punch viciously hammers a shark's abdomen.
A shark is stunned, but will probably recover.
