Deathrow inmate fell off hearse

Postby WyDavies » Sun May 03, 2015 11:19 pm

I tried an execution to see what it was like. Afterwards I noticed it was still listing the Deathrow inmate as having 4% clemency chance. I was sure a hearse had turned up and he had been taken to it.
So I searched around and there he was in the middle of the road - in the exact spot he'd need to be to be on the hearse. I clicked on him and his status had gone back to that of a living prisoner, except he still lying there dead. He even complained when I gave him 6 hours solitary to see if that would prompt a guard into moving him.
Eventually - about 6 hours in game - a guard put him on another hearse that had turned up.

I have no idea what triggered this as I was looking at other things going on in the prison. Anyone have something similar happen and see what caused it?

When hearses first were introduced (and for a while after) dead visitors would constantly slide off the back of the hearse and back into the road. Guard would move the body back to the morgue, then back to the next hearse, then they'd fall off again. I don't recall exactly how to do it, but one could make the body slide all the way to the end of the road, where it would inevitably get picked up by a guard (instead of escaping to freedom) and start the pattern over again. And again. And again. Only visitors, though. Everyone else was fine to ride the hearse out.

That being said, it seems hearses and death row are kind of bugged a touch. I'm sure that it'll get sorted out soon enough. It's worth putting on Mantis if it isn't there already.

I remember when only guards and workmen could be put in the hearses. Had dead visitors in my morgue for months before they finally left the building. It would seem that the death row implementation is a bit buggy all around, but it's a new feature so it's bound to be a little glitchy.
