Revealing the River/Chasm/Lava?
« on: September 02, 2006, 03:36:00 am »

Nothing is more annoying than planning out rooms only to hit an unexpected feature, like a river/chasm/lava branch. Now I saw the following map and noticed that the river/chasm/lava are fully revealed:

On my current game, I used the "Export Local BMP" option, which showed the river as it is in-game, not fully reavealed.

So, on the above map, how did the river become fully revealed? I can't see any explorations via mining or bridges that go to the ends.

Dig all the way to the lava, then reclaim the fortress.  Voila, all three features fully revealed.

Yeah, I haven't yet added code to tell it to only show the places that you can actually see from places where dwarves can stand when you reclaim.  The current "reveal open spaces" comes from the map possibly being completely hidden by an intervening adventurer that died outside, so it needed to re-reveal, and that was the fastest fix.
