:index:`Check for cursed creatures. <cursecheck; Check for cursed creatures.>`
This command checks a single map tile (or the whole map/world) for cursed
creatures (ghosts, vampires, necromancers, werebeasts, zombies, etc.).
With an active in-game cursor, only the selected tile will be checked. Without a
cursor, the whole map will be checked.
By default, you will just see the count of cursed creatures in case you just
want to find out if you have any of them running around in your fort. Dead and
passive creatures (ghosts who were put to rest, killed vampires, etc.) are
ignored. Undead skeletons, corpses, bodyparts and the like are all thrown into
the curse category "zombie". Anonymous zombies and resurrected body parts will
show as "unnamed creature".
Usage::
cursecheck [<options>]
Options:
- ``detail``
Print full name, date of birth, date of curse, and some status info (some
vampires might use fake identities in-game, though).
- ``nick``
Set the type of curse as nickname (does not always show up in-game; some
vamps don't like nicknames).
- ``ids``
Print the creature and race IDs.
- ``all``
Include dead and passive cursed creatures (this can result in quite a long
list after having !!FUN!! with necromancers).
- ``verbose``
Print all curse tags (if you really want to know it all).
Examples:
- ``cursecheck``
Display a count of cursed creatures on the map (or under the cursor).
- ``cursecheck detail all``
Give detailed info about all cursed creatures including deceased ones.
- ``cursecheck nick``
Give a nickname all living/active cursed creatures.
.. note::
If you do a full search (with the option "all") former ghosts will show up
with the cursetype "unknown" because their ghostly flag is not set.
If you see any living/active creatures with a cursetype of "unknown", then
it is most likely a new type of curse introduced by a mod.
