Stairs in dungeons and battles in the field.

[Sovellis]

I'm working on my first dungeon on my game, and I have a small problem. I used the playtest, and when I try to go up the stairs, nothing happens.

And when I'm in the field, battles don't happen. Even when I set the encounter percentage to high and I added what kind of monsters you'll fight in the field. When I went to the options about battle encounters, it tells me "You cannot set battle encounters here." According to the manual, that means that I haven't set the battle encounters, which I've done.

Thanks in advance everybody xD

Regarding the stairs:
When you create stairs in a dungeon the other floor's stairway will face the opposite direction and must have walkable space in front of it to work. If the lower portion of the stairs are facing west, the upper portion of the stairs is facing east, thus you should have the east side open for the character to walk. I'm willing to bet you have a solid wall at the entrance of the other stairway.

As for the monster encounters:
I'm not sure what's going on. I know you can only set random encounters in fields and dungeons, not in towns. My best guess is you have encounters only on one type of terain. When setting random encounters you have to set encounters for all the diferent terrains separately. There's a box in the random encounters page that allows you to select which type of terain you want to set encounters for.

Also, if that doesn't work, you may also want to make sure that you created "Monster Parties" because you can't set individual monsters to just appear in a random battle (unless they are "Large" or by themselves in said party)
