Can't rebuild doors
« on: September 29, 2006, 12:46:00 pm »

In a recent assault by goblins, their troll companions destroyed my two outer sets of doors.  This wasn't the first time this happened.  However, this time I can't rebuild the doors in their previous locations and I'm not sure why.  It's a 5 width corridor with detailed unmined stone in the center and detailing on the north and south.  The design is to build 2 doors between the north wall and the column then 2 doors between the south wall and the column.

You can see in this screenshot that the X is red, meaning I can't build a door there.

   

I also can't build a trap on any of the 8 spots where my doors used to be.  However, I can build a door or trap on the spot between the two detailed columns (where the dog is), or in that area between the weapon traps.

Could the game still regard those door spaces as "captured by the enemy"?  Or does it now think they are "outdoors" and thus I can't build there?

Also can't built a channel or bridge on those spaces, though I can build both in the 1 square between the two pillars (where the dog is).

Nah, the map just thinks there's still a building there most likely.  It happened to somebody else all the way at the chasm.  It's on to-do.

I've consistantly had it happen to me whenever a creature destroys a door. Its not all the time, but usually when a door is destroyed, and blood of some type is placed on the door tyle (usually from them exploding or dying or whatever from traps behind it), then it becomes unbuildable. I cannot prove that its the blood though, just a theory.

I've also seen it happen when a cave-in displaced a door.  I couldn't rebuild it on the same spot.
