Yeah lol. Breaking news: experimental build of game is kinda buggy.

[Random_Dragon]

It's mostly just amusing how things are acting weird on basically turn zero, before I've even taken a single action, with multiple odd things all happening simultaneously. Then again, given just about every time I've started up a new build for the past 2 years or so has had something weird happen in the first minute or so, and how I recall that "every NPC on the map spams messages involving shuffling their inventory on game start" is something I've seen multiple times in past builds (good god it gets bad when you do a refugee center start), this being shrugged off as normal says...interesting things about the current state of a game that's supposed to be on the path to a new stable release.

On the plus side, LAST time I tested a build the issue of the day was "NPC can't even see past 4 tiles when hostile and refuses to use their gun 90% of time" was the problem of the day (as one of many ways in which NPCs ability to ever actually successfully shoot you basically can't ever stay fixed in Cataclysm period, this isn't even unique to DDA), and I didn't run afoul of it this time...

I mean, the priority is bugs that actually affect gameplay. And they are being fixed. This probably will be too eventually but meh. NPCs are really hard to code anything for, I can't blame them.

My impression is that the daily builds contain the very very new features of that day which will basically always break something in one way or another. So while features are still being added, even close to release, the builds fresh out of the oven will always be broken.

New features aren't being added, we're in the feature freeze, so it's just JSON changes and bugfixes now.

Ahh, ok. Yeah, I'm sure they'll get around to it eventually.

And the subdermal carbon filament is integrated armor. That's a thing now. Also used for fur and chitin mutations, and shells too, thanks to my work. They break some other mutations because they're represented as "clothing" but that's a 0.G blocker so it'll be fixed.

I don't get why that stuff takes up the close to skin layer shouldn't that kind of thing be it's own layer?



Also I swear to god it seems like they brought back the penalty for wearing more than one clothing item on each layer.

Yeah that's an oversight, I'll PR it to occupy the "personal" layer instead.

And it's been there for years now lol.

But why did they bring it back when they made such a big deal about how they got rid of it.

I don't remember them getting rid of it. Now that I think about it, the penalty was the since pre-DDA days. Are you sure it wasn't a dream or anything?

I know the penalty has been around for a long time and I've always found it annoying, but I remember quite awhile back there were several big conversations about getting rid of it after one of the big encumbrance overhauls and how the new at the time granular encumbrance system made the plenty not needed, and big plans were made to get rid of it, maybe I remembered wrong and the plan fell trough and they never actually did it.

Also I've never had a dream about this game not sure why as I've played the shit of it.

[KittyTac]

Pride flags got added. As a bi man, I very much approve.

Oh and as usual, bigots came out of the woodwork to protest the change (that didn't harm them in the slightest) and were struck down.

[Random_Dragon]

I've already said over on the BN server that if people raise a stink over it on there, I'm gonna port them over just to make them more mad. Otherwise it's a flavor item so not that high on the priority list with as much shit as I already oughta work on, plus car troubles and other IRL things kinda have me distracted.

Fair enough.

[King Zultan]

I still think it's kind of weird we got those flags before we got state flags, also why the hell can't you use flags for curtains?


Also in case anyone didn't notice a while back they removed the ability to repair military compost armour.
