You absolute modding maniac. Seems like everything I see has been modded by you. Great job.
I expect in the future we will see for this roguelike an over +200 new item mod from you or some such?

Also, is there any way to transfer saves? If not, no huge worries, but I'd like to keep my character if it's possible. EDIT: Looking at the folders, it seems like it COULD be possible to transfer a save from one versions save folder to the next versions save folder, in practice, but in reality, I've no idea.

Edit 2: This new experimental update/change is a godsend. So far, I've recorded NO crashes, no graphical fuckups when I open my inventory or morale screen, nothing bad. Yeah, it works and it's awesome.

Characters can be easily transferred between worlds.

Simply, rename your old "save" folder, gen a new world, then take your "Character Name".txt file in your old save and move it over. Files such as "Charname".seen.(numbers) supposedly reveal what parts of the world you've explored and can be safely left behind.

However, if you're transferring between mods/versions, keep in mind that item numbers may have been changed. Moving your character to that mod/version may cause their inventory to change entirely or even make the game crash. In that case, simply drop all items before transferring your character and wish them back if you so desire.

This can also apply to things like bionics, mutations, and skills, but there haven't really been any additions to them yet.

Edit: When it comes to entire worlds, the chance of something going wrong increases exponentially. This mostly depends on how much the game has changed between versions/mods. From what I've seen, there shouldn't be too much of an issue in transferring your save; maybe. You will probably not be able to experience the new copbots and security changes though.

In this case, you'd simply transfer the entire save folder to the new version. Again, items and such may interfere with proper loading, there's not really much you can do in that case.

Yep, my mod will definitely grow a lot. I just try to figure out how to do stuff first to make it more interesting and expand the game in more directions.

You should occasionally nudge people our way from the DF part of the forum when inquired about your latest work hahaha 

[DalGren]

I personally prefer to finish getting bored of the original game before getting into mods, but hey, if the mod is good...
Although, technically speaking, you are doing a variant right now. You've grown up from modder.

Hmmm, how do you use scissors to cut clothing into rags? I'm not getting a crafting option in my crafting menu, so I assume it's something more manual, but I can't find out the command...

[majikero]

i think you use the "use tool" command

"a"pply the scissors.

[majikero]

I just remembered something.
One of my spawn place is a house in the middle of the forest with a lab across the map. No zombies or animals. Found dead soldiers and scientist for supplies and clothes. Died in the lab due to mutants. Would have survived longer if I didn't go to the lab.

It's in deon's mod ver. 0.6

Hrrm, I have a tough choice to make. Uzi 9mm, of which I have 50 normal 9mm rounds and 20 +P+ 9mm rounds, or Marlin 39A of which I have 3 100 .22 CB rounds? I have no prior skill in anything...

The Marlin is "highly accurate and damaging, and essentially has no recoil" but it fires the weak .22 round. Weighs 26, accuracy of 90, -5 recoil, +3 damage, moves per attack 146, to-hit bonus of +3, 12 bash damage. The .22 is 4 recoil, 84 accuracy, 7 damage, 10 range, 0 armor-pierce, 62 moves per attack.

Uzi is -2 recoil, 29 weight, 10 bash, +1 to-hit, +0 damage, 75 accuracy, burst size of 8, 132 moves per attack. Normal 9mm is 13 recoil, 84 accuracy, 14 range, 1 armor pierce, 18 damage, MPA 64, 3 weight. The +P+ round is 1 bash, MPA 54, 22 damage, 6 armor pierce, 16 range, 86 accuracy, 15 recoil.

Overall, I don't understand guns too much. Do the gun stats and ammo stats combine? As in, if you are using 9mm rounds with a recoil of 13, and a Uzi with a recoil of -2, will the overall recoil of your shots come out to 11? With an accuracy 84 for 9mm rounds and 75 accuracy for the Uzi, will the total accuracy come out to be 159? Or will it come out to 159 and then be divided by two? And so on.

EDIT: Also, how do you wish for something? When I try to wish, say, for cargo pants, I type in cargo pants and it says "wish granted" and then a 'nothing' appears in my inventory and when I select it/drop it/use it at all it says I don't have that item and the 'nothing' disappears.

I'd say go for the Marlin 39A. Once you get skilled, headshots usually instakill, no matter of the caliber. And using burst on the Uzi will just chew through your ammo.

Playing balanced or ranged character i would go with the .22. At level 3 firearms you will headshot pointblank zombies anyway and .22 is more common and weights less.
The uzi burst can be a lifesaver against hulks and brutes thoug. Especially if you're a good melee character and you want only a backup weapon. If that's the case go for the uzi.

I tried to make this work. I really tried. But then I downloaded the SDL file and, well...

A .tar.gz file? Really? I'm following the instructions of a guide that wants me to get files out of a compressed tarball. On Windows.


Anyone know any way to get files out of a .tgz? Because I sure as hell don't.

How hard is it to extract a tarball? I know 7zip can open it just fine. But then again, 7z can open just about anything.
Don't tell me people still use WinRar??
