Cannot find path spam with ramps
« on: April 18, 2008, 06:10:00 pm »

In the current build, if a dwarf cannot reach an area due to being unable to use a ramp (I.E. the ramp is there ,but there is no support in the direction the dwarf wants to use) you will get spammed by "cannot find path" reports untill the issue is resolved.

I'll be uploading a savefile for you to look at. I've already found the source of the problem (look on level -14 and -13 near the large circular chamber. Add in a ramp there and the "cannot find path" spam will stop.)

I had this few times too. It seems to be bug with pathfinding.
If you try to build something with material accessible only through this bugged ramp it will say some mad numbers like -17394 in distance field.

I think I fixed a related bug for next time, could be the same one.
