reveal: revflood does not hide walled-off areas #1719

Closed Nilsolm closed 3 years ago

Nilsolm commented 3 years ago

I am not sure if this is intended behaviour or not, but the documentation seems to imply that revflood can do that:

revflood: Hide everything, then reveal tiles with a path to the cursor (useful to make walled-off rooms vanish)

I tested this in multiple saves, but it doesn't appear to work.

DFHack version 0.47.04-r3 (development build 0.47.04-r3-160-gc28bbe26) on x86_64

This behavior is intentional, in order to avoid DF bug #1871.

I see, thanks. I suppose the documentation needs to be adjusted then.

Yeah, the docs here aren't quite correct. Looks like the original wording dates back to a8ab59542. help revflood prints the following, which is different but could also be similarly misleading.

revflood: Hide all, and reveal tiles reachable from the cursor. Usage: This command hides the whole map. Then, starting from the cursor, reveals all accessible tiles. Allows repairing parma-revealed maps.

Open to suggestions, but I should be able to get to this later today
