Auto-explore goes to wrong stairs in blighted ruins

#1 Post by Grey »

Not sure if there's an easy fix for this, but in the Blighted Ruins (undead starter dungeon) the auto-explore feature will wind up taking you to the downstairs, when really you should be heading towards the upstairs. Maybe there should be a flag set in the zone to state that it goes the other way, and the autoexplore function can check this flag?

Was just thinking this. I think there actually already is a flag in the zone file. This might also be an issue with Tannen's Tower.
Sorry about all the parentheses (sometimes I like to clarify things).

I do not know about the blighted ruins but in most zones when auto-explore takes you to stairs, if you press auto-explore again it will take you to the other stairs.

So far from what I've seen, in every zone that has had two stairs, what Graham said works.

Tannen's Tower works correctly, because it uses the "reverse_level_display=true," flag in the zone definition. Blighted Ruins should probably use the same approach.
