odd2k (0 posts) Feb-29-04, 05:34 PM (Pacific) "Ladders?" I can't climb ladders. I'm inside the tree in trynton, where there's a big ladder you have to climb. After trying to climb it for about 5 minutes, I found out that if I hold the shift key while approaching it from a certain angle, I can get half way. Then there's a broken step in it. How the hell do I get further up that ladder? This is crazy, why did they put ladders in the game when they don't work?   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

You shouldn't have to click on any other key...just click on the run and up or down you should go. Anyone else have a reason why the ladder doesn't work?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Wolfie (Guest) (0 posts) Feb-29-04, 08:00 PM (Pacific) 3. "RE: Ladders?" I think Odd is actually trying to CLIMB the ladders manually (like in Gothic for example, where you use the game controls to go up and down ladders, ropes etc). In Wiz8, there is no such need, you just walk up to the ladder / rope, and simply left-click on it, the game will take over momentarily, and do the climbing / descending for you. Hope that clarifies it for you. ----- Visit http://wiz8.web1000.com/ to download a spreadsheet that allows you to enter in your spellcasters current stats, and the spreadsheet will tell you what spells the character can learn, or for spells that they are not yet able to learn, it will tell you how many points you need, or why your character can't learn the spell. v2.01 released Oct 14, 2003   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

ferro287 (0 posts) Mar-01-04, 11:41 AM (Pacific) 5. "rtfm?" I thought it was the time to cite rtfm, but actually all it says is: Opening Doors, Activating Machines, Etc.: Move your Cursor over the door or device. If a hand icon appears, click to open the door or activate the device. Hardly a reference to a ladder, as i must say. Oh, and there are two places (ropes iirc) where you do not get a hand when you approach them. You need to approach them even closer, and you'll get a message box about leaving that area. I'm always worried when i reach one of those, since you might fall to your death at other places, but here you need to come close. Oh well.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

You are: a) not close enough to the ladder and/or b) not putting your cursor over the "hot spot" When both conditions are met, the mouse cursor turns into a hand, and you click on the ladder (or other object to interact with).
