A castle without a door
« on: June 17, 2020, 10:48:45 pm »



Okay, at has a door... two of them. But they are floating in the air. :/

How do I get in? Jumping does no good because it's block walls and I can't hold on.

Does standing on the ramp and pressing 9 or shift+9 work? Besides that if you have dfhack you could flashstep.

You should be able to shift+9 from the ramp below (or alt+9, then chose move up and to NE.)

You could try [h]olding onto the walls (IIRC, that's easier,) or jumping into the door and attempt to hold onto that. (I don't remember what happens if you try to jump into a door. Maybe you just collide with it and fall to the ground.)

Thanks for the suggestions.

No, I can't stand on the ramp.

I don't think it works from below but I was able to hold onto the wall, after all and move a step forward (into the air).



Sadly, I don't see any way to open the door and move inside. If I try to move east, it only gives me the option to climb to silt loam, *below*.

However, I did manage to become a competent climber (eventually) and climb up on top of the wall.

Holding shift while moving tries to move you up in that direction, so standing on the ramp below the door and pressing shift+9 would would tell the game to move you directly at the door.

But that doesn't work. The only option that gives me is to move on the ground (below the doors). There's no way to move into the doors.

OK, from your previous wording it sounded like you didn't try it. The ramp probably didn't get updated when the wall was placed and so doesn't work in that direction.
