Flight Elevation
« on: March 11, 2008, 10:02:00 pm »

So I got batmen to work for adventure mode and civ mode and when I made a adventure char I couldn't rise in the air over a single z level.  Does creature size/strength or weight carried have an affect on how high you can fly or is it specific creature_entities?

I don't think it does.  Try looking up.  if all you get is black (without the little symbols for ground underneath) the area hasn't been placed in memory yet.  So you can't fly there.  It's a known bug.

I believe Toady mentioned that sooner or later he'll fix it but for now you can only fly around buildings and such which put the area around them on all inflenced z levels into memory.  Really thats the only time flying accomplishes anything tactically anyway.  

You'll get the most use out of flight in mountains and goblin towers.  May find some use in towns too.
