I don't like it here...
« on: September 20, 2011, 02:12:24 pm »

I started a new adventurer (Hellfire imp biter, Fortress Defence mod), and I was greeted with this:

The map shows this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If I try to travel, the game tells me to move away from the water first, and I can't sneak because someone is watching me. It is deathly cold. I tried throwing some llama meat, but it landed on the same square as the one I'm standing on.

I'm going to try retiring and reclaiming for now, but if you have any ideas about where I am, I'd appreciate it. It's so cold here...

Hurrah!

I resumed playing this adventurer.

Now to find a way out...

...nope. This is an extremely tall cavern, but no matter how far I wander (fly - imps have wings :D), I never seem to move on the map, and I 'need to move away from the water'. Now I'm sort of worried about who was looking at me before...

A pitch black place where someone is watching you?

A paranoid hellfire imp in a freezing cavern?
If you really don't like it, you can try using Runesmith to teleport out of there.

Does anyone have any idea how to get away from the water? It looks to me like I'm on an island. I suppose it's possible that the map is just showing a little mound at the bottom of the ocean...

Also, I'm on a laggy old mac, so no Runesmith for me!

I haven't used Fortress Defense, but I'm wondering if you've somehow spawned in a cavern at the bottom of the ocean...

The only real advice I can give is to try to keep going up, and I mean vertically, not to the north.

Failing that, your best bet might be to simply create a new world or at least a new character and hope for better luck.

Can I hack to move my character up a few hundred z-levels? That would be useful...

Unfortunately, the only tool I know that can do that would be Runesmith...
Optionally, if you really want to keep it, you can upload the save but I think it's too much work for too little.
Then again, if you DO restart, we'll never find out where you are...

If I'm right, according to the map, you're in the ocean, the cavern you're in is either under it or the beach.
Try moving west when you can, of course moving upwards is good, but if you go west you'll surely get onto land (unless it's a bug that genned a group of settlements onto water).

Hmm... I wonder how easy it is to write a memory-editing tool for Mac OS in a few days...

Obligatorily aquatic creature + Air = Drowning.

That said, OP, do you have... any mods... at all?
Like, off the top of my head, any that might alter the generic underground civilizations?
Because I could see this happening if they were modded to build towns, maybe.

Or maybe you're just an unlucky person. :-\ Or lucky, as the case may be.

Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

I have fortress defence on, hence the hellfire imp.

It's quite an impressive cave (it's about 70 levels tall, for one thing), but I can't really do much in it...
