Vault with no access to the slab - bug or feature?
« on: October 06, 2014, 11:58:06 am »

I've found a vault which has no access to the part containing the slab. This is after killing the main bad guy, only a couple of evil angels remaining. I thought it was a bug first, but now I think it may be a feature - a joke, to infuriate players. Is it possible?

By the way, the part blocking access looks like this (side view):

Code: [Select]
                ▓▓▓   accessible chamber here
                ▓▓▓@
road to the slab ##▓▓▓
                ▓▓▓▓▓▓

@=my character
#=bars opened previously
▓=slade wall       

So if dwarves could traverse z-levels diagonally he would be able to pass.

You could jump. Or climb. Or ALT-Move

No, I couldn't.

Jump - possible only to visible locations and only on the same z-level (I had to usere "reveal" of dfhack to see what's down there, vampiric sense showed me only locations of enemies)
Climb - possible only "Above", not "below"
ALT-Move - doesn't work
CTRL-Move - also doesn't work

1. you should upload it to dffd so we can play.
2. you could climb above it and then release you hold.
3. make some hostiles come to get you and dodge in.

If you have DFhack, you can use tiletypes to make a ramp.

And yes it's a bug, just like the ones spawning in mountains (not accessable) and ones that don't have a slab in them.
