Question on flying mod
« on: June 27, 2012, 05:25:13 am »
Oko I am doing an early experiment in modding to a race of own design.  I am testing one of them in the arena and, I feel a bit silly, I can't seem to get air born from standing.

Like, if I climb up the tower and step off, it says "Flying" and I can move around and go up.
But if I am just standing on a flt surface and try hitting the "<" button, nothing happens

But ask.... why are they drunk all the time?

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Either that, or good luck, you can't ascend on ramps.

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.

Try using Alt + <, it maybe so that you can't just enter the open space.

< should work.
Is there a ceiling above the dwarf?

Issue:

See the Ramp?
Now look to the upperright where there is a little box with a blue "1" and a up arrow
the ramp is disconnected with the upper level, thus you can't simply walk up it, due to the ramp not connected to a wall in the direction.

Oh, missed that. How'd he get down there?
Alt-9 and see what happens? I think that should work...

It won't work. Ramps need a wall below the floor it's going to get up to.

You should be able to ALT+move and go up a Z level.
