( BTW how about a game guide? This rutting around forums for hours trying to find the answer to one question is absurd)
Ok so do we push the dig command before we push all the ctl+RMB stuff? If not then when do we type in this command? Are all these buttons to be held down at the same time?
Do we dig dirt from another location and then bring it in and dump in our low spots? Or is this a self leveling command where you dig and dump it back down in the same spot?
I would appreciate some help on this. Thanks
Note to the dev who created these commands: There is no reason for these lengthy complex commands and gestures to get one task accomplished. I feel like I have been taken back in time to the 80's and trying to code DOS or something. This game is complex and tedious enough things like this that can only be done with all the magic codes and you must have 8 octopus arms.... come on.
Hello,
I think it's written somewhere in detail but I can give you the basic commands again. Note that this is an open beta and obviously there is not a detailed manual as things are changing every 2 days or so. The salem wiki is a good source but still not complete and up to date.
First of all get the Enders Client, it has a good leveling tool (ctrl+l to open it). Drag a small area and then click Release to select it. Rotating your camera and looking at tiles colour (blues are low tiles, reds high) gives you the idea of what to do.
Commands are: click the dig button. When you have the cross-shaped pointer, dig in tallest tiles (ctrl+LMB), when it stops digging drop the dirt on lowest tiles (ctrl+RMB). Repeat until the dig command (ctrl+LMB) has no effect on the starting tile.
LMB and RMB without ctrl have the effect of digging on the single tile and not leveling all the adiacent tiles, so use them when you know what you are doing.
Good luck
