I think I've noticed another bug with inventory count, but it's probably known: Sometimes, trying to pick up an item will fail because I have too many, but then trying to pick up another item will work, or dropping an item won't help. Something's inconsistent there.


Also, Whales: You said it takes place in rural New England? I know for a fact that it can't be Rhode Island, because there aren't any Dunkin Donuts. Around here, I swear there's one per acre on average. Speaking of which, fast food joints, restaurants, and similar places would be nice, but I imagine there are lots of such building ideas floating around.


Also: I LOVE the heat dissipation bionic upgrade. I ran around in a gasoline fire (after all the pumps exploded) until the fire died, and I was fine, and so was my clothing! Speaking of clothing, that character is up to five fanny packs, but I swear utility vests don't last long on him.

DD was in the game until I got sued for unlicensed use of trademark.  And yeah, restaurants are definitely planned.

You could have called it a coffee/donut shop.

[jc6036]

Yeah, a generic coffee shop could have been implemented. In other news, I have downloaded virtual box, and I think that I may try my hand at modding. Probably I will add a couple of new building types, like a department store and the coffee shop. Also, more sporting goods.

G-Flex, next you'll be suggesting he adds a Dell's Lemonade or something! It's supposer to be generic New England! And Tim Horton's is better anyways.

Though some true coast and islands and stuff would be pretty cool.

I was trying to get the Butcher command to work with any nearby corpse, but I think there needs to be some changes in the way activities work. There's no way to specify the X or Y location of an item you're working on, only some arbitrary "index" value that selects which of the objects in the tile the player is currently standing on is getting butchered... so while I could loop thru all nearby squares in the command itself, the actual Perform Activity rule won't be executed in the target square.

/codespeak off

Actually, activities would probably benefit from using the text_hash struct declared in texthash.h.  This would allow each activity to have its own arbitary values, defined as the activity starts, instead of just a single, multi-purpose int.  Feels cleaner than cluttering the activity struct with a bunch of data that wouldn't even be used for most activities.

That sounds like a great idea. That's why this "index" variable seemed out of place to me, apparently only the Butchering activity ever uses it.

[Whales]

It's actually also used in reloading, to know which ammo to use, and in reading to know what book you're reading.  But yeah, very limited.

The Alien Dimension, a design suggestion by some guy I dunno.

[Flying Dice]

Anyone know of a DL for the windows version that isn't the one on github? Because that is currently down because their hosting service(or something) is apparently about to run out, and the last chance to DL is the 8th.

[alway]

This seems to be the most recent compiled windows version I can see: https://github.com/aposos/Cataclysm/downloads#download_123649
Btw, the link to the supposedly pre-compiled windows version now leads to un-compiled files.

[FunctionZero]

That's funny, I can get the compiled version just fine. I can reupload it somewhere if anyone needs it though.

[jc6036]

You have to click on "downloads". I got that version just fine that way.

[Flying Dice]

Thanks for the link, maybe this version won't be buggy as shit. 

Edit: Oooh, the instant fast travel from the map is gone, maybe it'll be a challenge avoiding zeds now.

Hey, I was just joking around. We all know that if it's Massachusetts there should be Honey Dew Donuts, and if it's New Hampshire or Vermont there wouldn't be commercial centers.

One thing to do to avoid tougher/numerous zombies is to stick to the outskirts of town (residential zones nowhere near the town center/commercial area) as much as you can. It really helps if you start out in a house in such a location. Also, if you find a shovel, get it and dig a trench around your house, because pits are damn near cheating... especially since pits take barely any time to dig, so you can use it in combat to prevent approach creatures reaching you.

[Jimlad11]

It's been a while since I updated my version.

The fast travel map is gone? 

I am so dead. Gone are the days of just wussing out of fights...

But I am willing to exchange exploitable mechanics for awesome gameplay additions
