Summary0003301: Unusable Items of Dead Dwarves
DescriptionAfter dieing in a fight with a bronze colossus, the belongings of my dwarves were never gathered, looked at the forbidden status and if they are collecting from outside, everything should be fine, also tried dumping the items which doesn't work. Same problem with 2 dark gnome corpses, i can't to anything with those items, they are just lying around, unusable, not dwarv gathers them and takes them to my free stockpiles.
Steps To ReproduceLet some dwarves get killed outside while forbidding to gather their corpses and belongings, after redoing this and un-forbidding those items, they will sometimes still not be claimed back.
Additional InformationTried this some times again, not happening very often, and if, then only with some few items, normally the dead dwarves get taken away, their weapons too, but some or all of his clothings will still be lying on the ground, even with enough free finished good stacks, and armor stacks for the leather stuff. Had the same problem with .13 too a single time, it was a dead wolf corpse that never got picked up. Strangely such unclaimable bodies never start to produce miasma at any time as much as i noticed, but i still have to verify that to make sure.

Reminder sent to: Kulze

Have you been able to reproduce this and have a save available? You can compress and upload the save to http://dffd.wimbli.com and post a link here. There are several things this can be related to and we'd need a save to verify.

The remaining objects are probably claimed by another dwarf before they get hauled to stockpile. Owned items are not stockpiled or dumped, though they can be taken to depot and sold (which may or may not be another bug...)

The current dfhack has a function that allows you to clear ownership of claimed items. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=91166.0

See if this resolves the issue.

I used to be edgy about selling clothes and other finished goods at the depot in case they belonged to someone who was using the stockpile as storage. I guess they might do this (albeit temporarily) before wearing/hauling an item they decide to pick up.

But I learned most dwarf clothes in finished goods stockpiles are from corpses. And they sell for a mint

Kumquat pretty much explained the summary description of this report and as stated previously, the other reported portions need a save/further explanation to narrow down the possibilities.

Kulze, if you can provide a save detailing the portion(s) of any problem that isn't related to another report, please post one.
