Water not showing?
« on: July 13, 2009, 05:02:15 am »

Hi, the water in my brooks and channels shows fine, but the water i am using to fill "death chamebers" underground does not show, even when its flowing in. Its very hard to see elves drowning when i cant see the water :( (when i view it, it does show the water level. This is also the first time iv used water for "fun")

My guess is that stones left over from mining out the chamber are probably blocking your view of the water.  They're always put on top, for some reason.

<d, b, h> for hiding items, <enter + enter> to form a rectangle that is affected.  They'll still be there in the game, just you won't have to look at them.

You drown your potash makers? What a waste. Use them as bowgob fodder.
