This is a post by a known bandodger and troll. Please do not respond to him in any way. See the first post for further details - if you have any questions or feel something is unexplained, please PM GlyphGryph and he will try to answer you and add needed information to that post.

We have been having a persistent troll problem in this thread - if you have been directed to this post, it is probably because he is posting, probably about Metal Gear Solid mod. DO NOT RESPOND, it is a trap. Instead, read the following to understand the situation.

Spoiler: Spamming Bandodge Troll details (click to show/hide)

The person posting the mod is a long-time anti-C:DDA troll. He was active on the Cataforums for a while, and used that time to constantly insult everyone and demand we include his code in mainline but he refused to actually work with anyone and his code was terrible. We finally included a line of it, as he insisted... and he responded by calling us thieves and insisting we remove it and basically flipped his shit, saying he owned all the code and we were all retards and we weren't allowed to use his stuff. He's been banned from bay12 going on 30 or 40 times now or so, and has basically hurled abuse at everybody including Toady. He's also been banned from Kickstarter (where he promptly created a second account) and the Cataclysm forums (about 20 times). His general approach to convincing people (though he varies, he's adopting one of his "nicer" approaches today) is to call everyone retards for playing CDDA and not playing his mod instead, and then writing poems about how awesome he is.

His mod is buggy as hell and he often claims it has a virus in it (but I don't think it does).

He hounded the MAME project for like 5 years, eventually stealing a bunch of their stuff and selling it under his own name, until they took legal action to get it taken down. He still makes money off his "mame tool" although not much, and basically everyone hates him there. He previously enacted a trolling campaign against a Microsoft working group and some other company I forget as well.

People have tried reasoning with him, arguing with him, accepting him, listening to him, and ignoring him. None of this will make him go away or stop causing trouble, but the last one is the one that allows the thread to continue with the least impact, so please do that one.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead

For those who are unaware, Cataclysm is a roguelike set in the post-apocalypse. There are zombies, but it is NOT a zombie game. And even the zombies aren't as they appear. You'll fight robots and giant worms, mutate and enhance yourself with cybernetics, and struggle to keep your hunger (and the wolves) at bay, all while uncovering the secret of why the world was really destroyed.

Welcome to the end.

You emerge from the shelter into the dim light of an overcast day, and look around for the first time since the disaster.

The world as you knew it is gone. A ruined world stands in its place, full of nightmares come to life. Nothing can ever go back to the way it was, before the Cataclysm, but you have to be strong. You have to survive. You have to persevere. If you don't, death will be one of the better outcomes.

Above your head, storm clouds gather, and the rain stings and hisses against your skin. You shoulder your backpack, and start walking. The world has gone to hell, but you get the sinking feeling that there are darker days ahead.

So, Cataclysm. Some of you may remember the original version. You may also remember that Whales isn't working on it anymore.

However, it is not dead! Instead, lead by TheDarklingWolf, development continues with Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead.

What an enormous project to undertake! I sincerely wish you well, GG and any others. Cataclysm is awesome but with a roguelike so complex you can never stop improving.

[GlyphGryph]

Don't get me wrong, my contributions to this developing will be minuscule - you do NOT want to leave a project that requires long-term stability in my hands. You know that better than most, hah.

No, I'm just gonna be providing web support and promotional efforts, because I can't stand to see something I love die when I can do something about. The Darkling Wolf, Kevingranade, Origamiwolf and the other active developers are the people that will be REALLY holding this together.

[hops]

Yes.

That is all I have to say.

[BigD145]

You guys are welcome to use what little I did.

Can't wait to see what you guys do with the game.

PTW

Definitely interesting to see this getting even more development. I'd still like to see if I could find a way to hack that one trait for rain/shoes I remember being suggested before.

Any chance of a feature list for people who haven't played it in a while?

[Edmus]

I was in the the old thread may as well jump into the new one too.

[Donuts]

Good old Cataclysm, used to play it a lot. Though now I got some other things to play, though I'd recommend it. And great to see that its getting worked on again! Can't wait untill I'm finished with my current playthroughs!

Awesome. I just blew up the tutorial room, and forgot to hide in the basement. I burned to death. Now, whenever I restart the tutorial, the level is still a big ball of fire. Gonna reinstall and wait out the blast in the basement, see what lies outside of the tutorial room hehehe.

Damn. When I duck into the basement, time stands still on the floor above. So no waiting it out in the basement

You can just delete the tutorial savefolder.
