Unrevealing the Unseen
« on: June 08, 2013, 09:06:02 am »

Is there any way to unreveal after revealing and exiting? I was planning my fortress through stone as to avoid any dirt [minor case of ocd or something, i dunno, but i cannot STAND dirt floors and walls when most of it is stone.] when i exited to make a copy and check on a dwarf migrant's legends. Now the entire map is revealed and i cannot unreveal it. I searched and saw 'revflood' should help, but it doesnt, it says something about my cursor not being active. I've been meaning to ask because i know there used to be a way for me to carve out dirt walls, build rock walls in their place, then 'unreveal' to hide the dirt walls behind it. Can I not do this anymore?

Edit: This is all using DFHack, by the way. Figured I should mention that.

revflood. make sure you do it from a menu with an active cursor like the loo(k) or (d)esignate menus, put the cursor somewhere that should be visible, and dfhack will hide everything that cannot be pathed to from that place.

you should have asked this in the dfhack thread though
