Just got a crash when trying to have a character with a Stinger:

Code: [Select]

RunSegment:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at XRL.World.GameObjectFactory.CreateObject(GameObjectBlueprint Blueprint, Int32 BonusModChance, Int32 SetModNumber)

   at XRL.EntryPoint.Main(String[] args)

And a second, with a different character. This time I was just trying to pick up some items that I'd dropped into a pile:

Code: [Select]

Turn:System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

Argh. Just got swarmed by four irritable tortoises, an army of rock-throwing babboons, ants and several salalmanders.
SERIOUSLY! I get that they're IRRITABLE, but half my health in ONE HIT?!!!

Psychometry seems vastly powerful for tinkerers. Never need to learn from a data disc, just tinker up the item and use the mutation on it. Probably should be a 5 point mutation.

[unormal]

*Updated AI aggro routines to correctly respect line of sight, unless they have remote seeing abilities
*Creatures the player hasn't seen will be more active
*Cooldown on Charge reduce to 15 from 100
*Turrets now have a greatly increased agility and resulting accuracy with missile weapons, which increases with higher Tinker levels
*Slightly increased horned chameleon's strength
*Salthoppers may now sprint
*Fixed a minor issue with the to-hit math for stinger
*Fixed the display of stinger penetration (no change to power level)
*Fixed an issue with flying allowing you to cross walls
1.0.4120.15885

Holy carp I posted that like an hour ago. Unless you already knew.

Also, Frost, you forgot Charge. Lots of critters have charge, which means they can now spam it more.

Including Slumberlings and (I think) Salthoppers.

I may have to give Charge a try now- I hadn't before.

Does "increased strength" mean more HP for horned chameleons?  They were glass cannons beforehand- a good ranged weapon took them out.

No, I mean literally increased the Strength stat a little.

[Toaster]

Oh, ok.  I'll just keep shooting them at low levels- thanks for the info.

Making an Artifex sucks if Tam doesn't have a musket.  One game he had a desert rifle- that was awesome.

[beorn080]

Making a tinkerer is great when the glowpad merchant has a combat shotgun that has a pristine electronics in it you can use to make a force bracelet, and you also have psychohistory.

[Toaster]

I'd agree if I had ever seen the glowpad merchant.  I did run into a dromad merchant a couple of times in the wastes- got another desert rifle off of one.

Is the carbine any more or less accurate than the desert rifle, or does it just have a larger clip?

[beorn080]

Glowpad merchant is somewhere in the watervine swamps. It's a good sized chunk of area to explore, but nothing more threatening then crocs, short of a lair or ruins. You can also turn on view overland encounters in the options menu, the Glowpad will be a yellow $, and is a teal * in the regional view. Just be very careful when you go looking for him, if anything attacks you it will too, so stay away from water and lead crocs into areas where you know it isn't.

As for the carbine, probably just a larger clip, though that's never a bad thing. Just wait to you get an electrobow. Those are amazing weapons.

[Mephansteras]

Carbine is a great weapon. Larger clip than the desert rifle (24!) and it fires 3-round bursts. A carbine with the Suppressive Fire skill is great for keeping nasty enemies at bay. Slaughtered tons of bots with that weapon. Combat shotgun is great too, since it is brutal at close range and holds 6 shots.

Electrobow is amazing, however. Doesn't do great damage, but it has good penetration (10) and since it uses a cell you don't have to worry about reloading. It also serves as a good light source, which is pretty awesome.

[Toaster]

Yeah, I'm too lazy to seriously look for him, and I have overland encounters off.  72 screens is too many, and I usually die when I find a ruin, poke around it, and hit an electrofuge.  I hate electrofuges.

Noted on the carbine- I'll have to keep my eyes open for one.  I've gotten a chaingun schem a couple times, but never made one.

I saw an electrobow schem in Argyve, but died before I could buy it.

[cerapa]

Electrofuges? I usually kill them in 2 turns and dont even notice when they hit me. Good XP though.

But then again, I die at the sight of anything with a ranged attack so...
