i collapsed a mountain side just now, and im left with these downward slopes that float in mid air. i cannot actually target them with remove ramp either, so dfhack doesnt work to get rid of these.

[Graebeard]

No idea but I'd love to see an answer.

i kinda got rid of them just now by building a floor over it and then removing the construction. this is really tedious though cause ive got like a hundred downward slopes from the mountain that i just dropped..

The surest way is to build a ramp (b -> C -> r) in the tile below it and then remove it (d -> n) as this will trick the game into properly cleaning up the "ramp-ness" from the tile that had a ghost ramp visible in it.

You might also be able to do this with dfhack if you're willing to do your homework on figuring out how. The only thing I've ever used it for is deleting all the contaminants from my map back when they were like a fortress-destroying creeping darkness!

So, floating down ramps? Never seen those before... hmm. Actually, this would be a trivial addition to the deramp tool.

Right. Try the deramp tool from this build: https://github.com/downloads/peterix/dfhack/dfhack-0.5.12-deramptest.zip

Untested, it might eat babies and set cats on fire, etc. Backup your save.

Down-ramps don't actually exist, they're simply an indicator that there is a ramp below them.  When you collapse huge sections of map, sometimes the game forgets to "unmark" those empty spaces and you'll get "floating down ramps."

the deramp tool doesnt work because you cant actually select these downward slopes for deramping

Because they're not "ramps" but "open space."  They just have a different symbol.

It works because I changed it.

I thought that was obvious from what you said.

In case it wasn't 100% apparent, peterix created and\or maintains that tool, so you are fortunate he stopped by the thread, to say the least

woooo, ahhh, a shiny celebrity! *executes drunken bow*
