[39d] embark doesnt show features?
« on: July 23, 2008, 12:09:00 pm »
I DO feel stupid asking but I cant see any underground features on the embark screen. Enabled the options in init.txt (all set to ALWAYS) and in advanced worldgen. Then I genned up the world and went to embark and use site finder to look for magma pools. Site finder stops with all entries green but nothing on the map  ???
Any Ideas?

The features are showing up on my embark screen.  I can see chasms, lava, underground pools, "Other Features", everything.

Perhaps you forgot to save the worldgen parameters before creating the world?

When I changed the settings in world generation to 'Always', I found they did not show up, but when I changed them to 'Always' in init, they do, so not sure what's going on here

There's something in init about 'more restrictive parameters override these' but I'm not sure what this means.

no, still not there even after saving.
could you try genning the world below and search for underground river?
just to make sure its not my gen-options.
The finder shows a location on upper map border just on the edge of the mountains.

world gen params follow

edited out due to overwhelming stupidity...
not reloading DF after init.txt changes...
It works now!

I set these as "always" in world gen but not init, and I couldn't see them on the embark map either.

okay as the main issue is resolved one more question:
is there a way to tell underground and aboveground magma pipes apart? they seem to both use the "red double-squiggle"

You have to set them in init. DF uses whichever is lower between init and worldgen choice.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

Tnx

Ugh sorry to rez, I put "FINDER" to "ALWAYS" and when I genned my map had the settings in there on ALWAYS as well.. still not showing me the special sites and stuff.  Is there anything else that affects it? I really want to find a good site to build :\

Check the world gen parameters.  I forget which (init or params) takes precedence.
