DF Gameplay Questions / DF40_05 Adventure - Tracking skill visual spam?
« on: July 30, 2014, 03:28:23 pm »
Is anyone else running into a problem with their adventurer maxing out their Tracking skill (I guess from just wandering around seeing tracks) and then basically being unable to find objects/corpses/hostile monsters outdoors because they're all hidden under footprints?

I actually got ambushed by a night hag lurking under my own boot-print. XD

Two things to note: 1) I'm using the Phoebus tileset, is this causing the problem?  and 2) I've already tried every variation of pressing K, shift-K, alt-K, ctrl-K, and swearing at Armok.  This is occurring on the local view, not the Travel/Overland map.

DF Gameplay Questions / Floors over Channels question
« on: October 08, 2008, 01:42:06 am »
New player here, and I'm a bit stumped in my attempt to build a nice set of skylights around a central staircase... it won't let me construct floors over the channeled-out shafts.  I'm guessing it's the layout but I can't quite grasp why...

# - stone wall, . - floor, _ - channel, X - stairway

Code: [Select]
##.###.##
..#_#_#..
..##X##..
..#.#_#..
##.###.##

This pattern repeats down several levels, and I want to construct floor over the channels, but it won't let me place them, giving "Placement Blocked".  I thought floors were supported on the cardinal directions?  I must be making some n00b mistake, but I don't get it. :)
