[40d11] Skeletal Giant Bat Flies Up From Under Up Stair Case
« on: December 08, 2009, 10:08:57 pm »

Fortress mode. I just experienced an odd event that I think may be a bug. My map has a cave full of critters. I had mined out a tunnel just above part of the cave and carved out an up staircase above the cave. However, there is a skeletal giant bat that keeps flying up from below the up stair case (that is on the level above the cave level) to get into a tunnel it should not be able to get into.

When you say "keeps flying" -- does that mean the bug is reproducible with your save?  If so, please upload the save to the DF File Depot.  If you're using any mods, those are needed as well.

There might be a diagonal across z-levels similar to this:

.###
#...
#...
#...

where # is solid space, like a wall, and . is empty space.

This still allows flying creatures to pass through, as attested to a poster who once complained about having giant eagles flying into his throne room.
