Found a magma pit... cant build magma buildings[40d]
« on: September 20, 2008, 02:07:23 am »

This may be related to magma depth its 4/7 and i'm running mikes tileset but i dont even have the option. I thought it might fix itself after season change but it hasent- i also found the magma pool useing reveal.exe could that be it? This fortress is beautiful(and i got the embark editor working) but this is really pissing me off hehe, i'll try un-revealing it then see if it works.

Yeah. It has to do with reveal.

That will enable the magma buildings for you, since reveal.exe broke the event which is supposed to enable them.

Thanks so much haha had me so scared hehe this fortress rocks cause its my first fortress... with WAR CATS!

*edit* depending on what program you used with reveal you can hide a tile of magma then channel above it, i used Dtil to hide a title of magma and floor then channeled the floor and found the magma.*

I believe reveal.exe also breaks the entire "the king arrives" bit that crops up when you strike adamantium. Does it also break the "hidden fun stuff"?

I have yet to find adamantine but i'd imagine you'd just need to do the above method of hiding a tile then mining it out.
