« on: July 12, 2012, 01:32:14 pm »

ok, well i've never seen a post about this so here it goes.

well first of all heres a screenshot:



see anything wrong yet? oh i guess it's kinda hard to see, ok see that cluster of beds? look to the right of it and you'll see some ice and some walls, do you see anything missing? im talking about that black space right next to that piece of wall in the ice. all i did was mine out the ice there and then...nothing, it dosein't even list anything when i check it with [k]...oh by the way there are 2 other things, 1: there is a wall ontop of the empty space and has bin there for many ingame years and is connected to another wall so it's not going to fall, 2: i bult that wall on the ice i beleve but the ice never melted after that, even when all the other ice did...

so bay12, thoughts?

Do you use dfhack? I've seen these missing tile bugs on rare occasion when using reveal and unreveal.

There are several bugs with ice tiles turning into mysterious black "void" tiles - take a look at the bug tracker.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

I'd be more worried about using MS Internet Exploder than a glitch probably caused by a third party tool.

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

Not at all true.  They're just a bit more difficult to catch than most things.
