what's it's target though?

[Tilla]

How the hell do I survive? I got attacked by about 60 zombies, 10 giant ants including giant ant larvae and about 8 triffids.

If you make loud noises you attract attention. Like firing guns.

Ooohh... So running around with a chainsaw running while shooting an assault rifle wasn't a good idea after all...

Also, it would appear as if speech is bugged. I had someone say "?Ro? y*this was completly blank* weapo !". When I attacked the person, they didn't even move. They just stood there and died.

Wherever the courser is on the map when you press enter after you choose the option to fire the missile.

[Gamerlord]

i just pressed 2 for fire missile and it flooded the room with gas.

[somebody]

You probably don't have a high enough computer skill to program a destination for the missile.

Did you get a target acquisition fail message after you fired it?

[Gamerlord]

yeah

[Frumple]

There's probably some chance of it just failing, somebody -- it's certainly not comp skill, unless there's a potential for rollover. One of my cheatmonkey fellows with a comp score of around 25 still caused nuke-gas to flood the room, if I'm remembering the situation correctly. At the very least it had a comp skill in the teens, alongside a 20 point int.

Would have to do some testing or code dive to isolate what's actually going on, really. Anyone got the code-moxy to do that without semi-significant time/effort investiture? If not, I'll hunt it up, after a nap.

I'm browsing/editing personal files to make bionics spawn rarely in stores. I'll see if I can't track down the nuke gas portion of the code.

Edit: It seems as though the gas is ALWAYS there after launch, at least according to what I can make out of this. I'm guessing the nukes fly with radioactive propulsion.

// Figure out where the glass wall is...
 int wall_spot = 0;
 for (int i = 0; i < SEEX * 3 && wall_spot == 0; i++) {
  if (g->m.ter(i, 10) == t_wall_glass_v)
   wall_spot = i;
 }
// ...and put radioactive to the right of it
 for (int i = wall_spot + 1; i < SEEX * 2 - 1; i++) {
  for (int j = 1; j < SEEY * 2 - 1; j++) {
   if (one_in(3))
    g->m.add_field(NULL, i, j, fd_nuke_gas, 3);
  }
 }

TL:DR Don't smash the glass.

Is it possible to empty the contents of a liquid container on the floor? I want to make a gasoline trap.

[beorn080]

w then item letter. The shift + u where you want to dump it.

Edit: Oh wow, you can do that with food items to take them out of their containers.

[Angel Of Death]

Am I supposed to get messages that say "DEBUG. HEALTH 0" and stuff like that?

[Dutchling]

Seems like an awesome game. I'll give it a try

EDIT: ehh, I downloaded the game I guess. But I have a folder with a lot of C-files and CPP-files, whatever than may mean. I guess I did something wrong?

Yeah, you downloaded the source. Windows I presume?
https://github.com/downloads/headswe/Cataclysm/Cataclysm_win_SDL_1.3.7.zip is the latest, unpack and play.

I just downloaded the all the files on the OP but that didn't work  . Now it works though thx.
EDIT: how do I put stuff in the fridge? I got this paper wrapper of meat sandwich, but I need to get a flashlight and I assume it's better to put foodstuffs in the fridge.
Also: Can I train the dog? And will he help me in fights? And does he need food or drink?
I really like the small map and the large UI, but is there a full screen option?
