Darkling wolfs mod is pretty much the unofficial cataclysm place to be these days, hes added piles of new stuff.  Also keeps updating on a regular basis (as in weekly or sometimes more often)

Have a linky

I'd like someone to actually further the "official" version. I don't like mods much.

[Robsoie]

Additionally the Darkling mod has included several fixes posted by people in the Cataclysm board for bugs that affect badly the last Cataclysm release.
So this mod is pretty much a must if you want to play Cataclysm with less bugs and with more content.

Hey, sorry for asking the same question again but has the issue with saves got fixed? Is it fixable at least? I want to play again but I'd hate to have my world disappear whenever I exit without saving.

Fun Fact: When Whales was developing the game and a mod got popular enough/he liked it, it would the become part of the main version.

The official version doesn't get updated any more. There is however another 'mod' which basically just fixes stuff iirc. I don't know the name as I never played it, but perhaps someone else here does.

[Pikdome]

Its good to know that the community it gonna pick up in the absence of whales, I'm so looking forward to even more content.

Is there anyone who uses Cygwin and Darkling Wolf's mod that can write up a dummy proof installation guide for getting it to work. I've spent two hours going over the Cygwin tutorial linked in the Darkling Wolf Mod thread, but it doesn't really explain all that well how to set up a non-vanilla Cataclysm game. It talks about installing .diff's but the Darkling mod is downloaded as a repo? Do I need to install the vanilla Cataclysm mod first and THEN somehow install the Darkling mod on top of it or do I just install the Darkling mod?

[Moogie]

The Darkling repo is a stand-alone package. You don't need vanilla or diffs to install it.

Unpack the archive somewhere, and then open the makefile.windows file in Notepad. Change the "CXX" line to read: CXX = g++

Now open up the cygwin terminal and navigate (using "cd\blahblah" terminal commands, Google if you don't know how to do this) to the folder where these files are. Then type: make -f makefile.windows

Once it's finished compiling, you should be all set. You can delete the .h and .cpp files from the folder after that if you wish, but I just keep them around usually- you can mod them yourself and just recompile the program whenever you need to.

Install Cygwin, then type git clone git://github.com/TheDarklingWolf/CataclysmMod.git, then wait for it to finish downloading and type cd CataclysmMod, then type make, once it finishes compiling type ./cataclysm to run.

I've already modified everything to work fine with Cygwin, so you don't have to do any of the diff stuff or change any files.

Thats awesome, not having to run a VM to make shit work.

For some reason my cygwin dosent have git.

[The Darkling Wolf]

You'll need to select git when installing it, you can run the installer again and it'll just add extra stuff in, it won't need to reinstall everything.

Thanks for the help Darkling Wolf. Got it working perfectly.

EDIT: Wow, some cool stuff with this version compared to the Windows version. Cars smoothly gliding forward instead of the jerky jumping forward they do in the windows version. Projectile animations.
