	It sounds like you can (or the code is in there for it to be done) for a ghost corpse (?) to be recorporealized? Is there any in game situation where this may happen? I tried using Turn Undead on ghosts - obviously this just did damage to them. I also tried turning stone to flesh on ghost figurines and statues, but that predictably created meatballs. Is this something for bone levels (is it possible to force a bones level in Wizard mode by chance?)

New page

I'm sure this has been posted many a time before, but I found this interesting block of code in {{sourcecode|zap.c|648}}:

<pre>
if (obj->oxlth && (obj->oattached == OATTACHED_M_ID)) {
unsigned m_id;
struct monst *ghost;
(void) memcpy((genericptr_t)&m_id,
(genericptr_t)obj->oextra, sizeof(m_id));
ghost = find_mid(m_id, FM_FMON);
if (ghost && ghost->data == &mons[PM_GHOST]) {
int x2, y2;
x2 = ghost->mx; y2 = ghost->my;
if (ghost->mtame)
savetame = ghost->mtame;
if (canseemon(ghost))
pline("%s is suddenly drawn into its former body!",
Monnam(ghost));
mondead(ghost);
recorporealization = TRUE;
newsym(x2, y2);
</pre>

It sounds like you can (or the code is in there for it to be done) for a ghost corpse (?) to be recorporealized? Is there any in game situation where this may happen? I tried using Turn Undead on ghosts - obviously this just did damage to them. I also tried turning stone to flesh on ghost figurines and statues, but that predictably created meatballs.

Honestly I'd consider the ghost being drawn into the fungus a bug. -- [[User:Qazmlpok\|Qazmlpok]] 19:12, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
			::::Clearly I've been hitting the !oBooze too hard as I somehow interpreted from your original comment that the ghost had inhabited the PLAYER not the corpse. After testing it appears that this happens exactly as you had put it, I assume that the corpse in the SLASH'EM case turned to a mold right as the message went out. Anyway, summary of what can happen is that undead turning will allow a ghost on it's own corpse to return to that corpse. If the ghost is peaceful, the turned corpse will become peaceful, and if tame the turned corpse will be tame. For example I polymorphed into a master mind flayer, killed myself, tamed the ghost using Scroll of Taming, zapped Undead Turning and voila, master mind flayer pet.

	:This happened to me in my last SLASH'EM game. I encountered my ghost in a bones, and in the middle of fighting it, I suddenly got the "drawn into..." message and the ghost disappeared. I assume that what happened then was the corpse 'revived' as a mold, as I didn't zap do anything to revive the corpse myself. -- [[User:Qazmlpok\|Qazmlpok]] 16:22, September 12, 2010 (UTC)		:This happened to me in my last SLASH'EM game.

	::Very interesting. I have been trying to replicate it but have been unable to do so thus far. I have tried in Wizard mode in both Nethack and SLASH'EM creating bones levels with the "Wizard" name starting at levels 4,5,6 and so on and then engaging them in combat. I only ever end up killing them sadly. I tried the same thing in a non-wizard setting with identical sets of characters (name, alignment, race etc), even so I stll end up just killing them even in drawn out combat of me kicking them to (re)death. I'm probably missing something. thanks for your input. [[User:Strongsauce1\|Strongsauce1]] 19:00, September 12, 2010 (UTC)		::Very interesting.

			:::Try reviving the corpse instead of kicking the ghost. It only happened spontaneously in SLASH'EM because most corpses have a large chance of turning into molds/fungi.
