Enhanced Lift

Enhanced Lift provides the ability to make a lift with named stops, hellavators up a 1024m high even on server clients, and has safety railings.

Lifts and compressors are placed the same as vanilla. Lift stops are placed at the level of each stop so that the left or right side aligns with the 3x3 area of lift. Pressing Shift-E allows configuring the name of the stop and how many lifts to the left or right side that are to be associated to the stop. Multiple lifts in a line can be grouped by setting the lift stop left or right count to the number of lifts to be associated with the stop. Pressing E will call the next lift not in use in the group.

On the lift the Home/End keys will change the destination to the prior/next stop for each press. Holding down control while pressing Home/End will place the lift in manual control mode and move it up or down manually. Pressing control-Del will place the lift in manual control mode and stop all motion immediately. Lifts in manual control mode will not respond to calls at stops.

On server clients there is only one lift for all players [2/6/2019 Disabled for now].


Key Binding can be changed by editing the NetworkTeleporterModKeyBindings.xml file. If the file doesn't t exist it will be generated on first time run.

To avoid conflict issues with Steam workshop updates, configuration files are now kept in a separate folder listed below by platform. Any old configuration files found in workshop folder will be automatically moved.

Windows: Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\ProjectorGames\FortressCraft\Mods\ModSettings\MadVandal.EnhancedLift

Linux: /home/<UserName>/.config/unity3d/ProjectorGames/FortressCraft/Mods/ModSettings/MadVandal.EnhancedLift

Mac: /Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/ProjectorGames/FortressCraft/Mods/ModSettings/MadVandal.EnhancedLift

Information on how configure key bindings is available in the Key Binding Configuration.txt file located in the parent folder.
