Any Mods Fix Climbing?
« on: August 08, 2016, 11:50:28 pm »

Are there any mods, even with DFHack, that fix the problem with fort members climbing into trees and forgetting how to climb back down?

I don't know much about modding, but I would guess that it's not possible for a mod to teach dwarves to climb down or jump off from trees. Though, I wonder if there'd be anything wrong with removing a dwarf's ability to climb.

DFHack does things like let enemies DIG into your fortress so I don't see why a small pathing fix would be out of the question. The issue was that I was trying to make a custom entity that has high default climbing and they get all stuck in trees ten minutes into the game. If I can't fix it I won't bother with that entity for a while.

You could add [CANNOT_CLIMB] to the dwarf creature in the creature_standard.txt document in the RAW folder. That would stop dwarves from climbing altogether.

One of the dwarfs walked in front of Thor to get a better view of the prye, and Thor kicked him irritably into the middle of the flames, which made Thor feel slightly better and made all the dwarfs feel much worse.

Do you think this would have a benificial effect on pathfinding?

Hmm, it might. Dwarves will sometimes climb over walls and things so it is possible that the pathfinding algorithm is taking climbing into account. I don't know how much of a boost you would get though. Probably not much, but I suppose every little bit helps.
