what sort of computer?

I've got a quad-core 4.2 GHz, 32 GB of RAM, with an SSD drive and I also get those weird freezes on the Windows version. If it's the same Scriver's getting, it happens when fast forwarding during book reading and stuff. I haven't been writing down when it happens, so there could be more than that. I seem to remember it happening during training with NPCs. It acts like it's going to freeze, but after pressing a few buttons it snaps out of it and acts like nothing happens.

That said, I'm also getting the weird lags during book reading, and I can't stop studying once I've started. It's not a performance issue.

Question: why should I go for steel-toed boots vs normal old boots? I've never seen anything attack my feet, ever.

[Kaitol]

I think it SAYS it hits your leg and you take leg damage if they go for the feet, but it checks your foot protection. Same for gloves except it hits your arm HP. since you don't have hand and foot HP bars. But I could be wrong.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Haven't seen the articles of clothing take damage either-  neither gloves nor boots. Only arms, legs, body, head + mouth/eyes.

Spitter acid (and lava probably) deals footwear damage.

me too, although I've never really read before, so I assumed it was intentional.

I had a problem with my SSD drive that was causing weird lag/blue screen i had to update the firmware. Do some research with your SDD model and see if its widespread. Mine is a OCZ vertex 3, 120gig. That damn SSD made me hit my head on walls... Untill i updated the firmware. Im not saying its why its happening only that it COULD be that, as for other reason it could do that i have no frigging clue.

This is the only game I've had problems with, but even then it's not that bad.

I'll still look into the firmware update. Thanks.

About firmware, if it only with the game dont bother, with firmware its better to not fix what aint broken. One mistep and your SSD is toasted. But if you have mutliple small slowdown or misbehavior here and there, then it could be good to check. SSD are bitches sometime...

The reading/sleeping lag in the Windows version is currently being looked into, and hopefully it won't be too long until a total fix goes in (a small fix that helped somewhat went in earlier today, but we are still working on an actual one for that problem).

   Okay how would one make an animal drop an item. I tried figuring out myself and from what I can see it should be working but for the life of me I can't get the crows to drop feathers. I have an item "feathers" which I can spawn in just fine

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

    {   "type" : "AMMO",
        "id" : "feathers",
        "rarity" : 40,
        "price" : 50,
        "name" : "feathers",
        "symbol" : "=",
        "color" : "light_gray",
        "description" : "Feathers for your hat or maybe you prefer arrows that fly straight",
        "material" : "FUR",
        "volume" : 1,
        "weight" : 1,
        "bashing" : 1,
        "cutting" : 0,
        "to_hit" : 0,
        "ammo_type" : "none",
        "damage" : 0,
        "pierce" : 0,
        "range" : 0,
        "accuracy" : 0,
        "recoil" : 0,
        "count" : 20
    }

and I make a type for it and then set that to the crow

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

mapitemsdef.cpp
 setvector(
    &mapitems[mi_crow],
    "feathers");

monitemdef.cpp
 setvector(&monitems[mon_crow],
          mi_crow, 1,NULL);

and I stuck the mi_crow into mapitems.h but no matter how many crows I kill they don't drop any feathers. The feathers works and I can even use them in the recipe I made that uses them but dang it all if crows just don't want to drop the dang things. They also for some reason seem not to be spawning anymore so I assume I really messed something up though I can still spawn them. The stuff mentioned and in the spoilers is the only things I have changed plus the following item and recipe and I just pulled down the latest.

        "color" : "light_green",
        "description" : "A sharpened wood arrow to which feathers where attached. It's light-weight and does little damage but has better accuracy and range then a normal wood arrow. Stands a good chance of remaining intact once fired.",

Does the map persist after death? I just died and restarted, to find that I spawned in a shelter that was either the same/ really close to the previous spawn. I just want to know if things like items I took or windows I smashed previously are gone/ broken.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Yes the world is fully persistent though you can make a new world with the reset option on the main menu though this deletes your current world so if you want to save it you will need to move it somewhere else or something. It can help and hurt you, the zombies you kill are gone but the food you take is gone as well and thats just the basics.

[Lightningfalcon]

It does, or at least did in the previous version.  I died, mourned because that was the first time I managed to set up a safehouse, and then respawned in that same safehouse.  Next time I died it took everything out thou, through the map was different

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Unless you specifically delete the world its the same one. It just spawned you in a different area. The note function on the map actually persists though deaths so you can mark things you want future characters to know.
