I'm playing still. I really urge for NPCS though now that more ingame tiles are calculated-And thank you for taking my advice/comments/whatever to heart, Whales, it's really awesome that you listened to the feedback. I'm sure other people talked about it too, though.

Of course!  I am just one small dev, there's a whole bunch of people with great ideas, and as always I'm really thankful to have such a great community of players and thinkers.

Incidentally, I spawned an NPC to see if they'd work okay with the new, bigger map--and every step is agonizingly slow, as they pathfind over the entire thing.  Time to tighten that up...

*is itching to play but waiting on NPCs*

Duly noted.  I'm on it, I promise!

*very eagerly awaits, very happy for the new update and hopeful about the next!*

Your code has a lot of buffer overflows waiting to happen. This one is especially bad:

Code: [Select]

void monster::debug(player &u)
{
 char buff[2];
 debugmsg("%s has %d steps planned.", name().c_str(), plans.size());
 debugmsg("%s Moves %d Speed %d HP %d",name().c_str(), moves, speed, hp);
 for (int i = 0; i < plans.size(); i++) {
  sprintf(buff, "%d", i); //< THIS IS GOING TO BREAK THINGS IF plans.size() exceeds 9.
  if (i < 10) mvaddch(plans[i].y - SEEY + u.posy, plans[i].x - SEEX + u.posx,
                      buff[0]);
  else mvaddch(plans[i].y - SEEY + u.posy, plans[i].x - SEEX + u.posx, buff[1]);
 }
 getch();
}

I still think Whales should add in my playable musical instruments to mainline. o_o

That is all.

I'm sloppy with code in debug functions, especially ones that're completely defunct

That is all.

I intend to!  At some point!

While I was gone, I missed several updates. Too bad I missed my pawn shops being put in excitement lost, heh. 

[Ehndras]

They were just put in, so be excited

And they kinda suck at this point    There weren't many already-existing items that seemed appropriate for a pawn shop, so you'll find the occasional high-end electronics (there's like, three of those in the game), fine cigars and suits, and rarely a handgun.  Any further ideas are appreciated, I wouldn't mind adding 4-8 new items.

[Ehndras]

Silly melee weapons and odd findings for flavor! Stuff I'd find at a pawn shop usually are golf clubs, hockey sticks, fireworks(depending where you are, of course), jewelry, and pretty much anything. I don't get why you're having trouble figuring what to stock... The only thing you wouldn't find are military-grade explosives/weapons and food. Hell, you could also have a backroom/safe in the pawn shop that has illegal goods like some pawn shops do.

Also, a safe as a storage device. YES. Non-flammable. >_>

[Girlinhat]

Golf clubs, the solid titanium type that sends zed heads flying into the next zone!  Maybe also jewelry, which gives a small (1-2?) morale buff while worn, or a periodic buff if that feels too OP.

Not that morale means much.  By noon I've usually got more than I'll ever need.  Tequila is a miracle drug.

NINJA: On the forums we were discussing air-drop packages that you could find throughout the map, that weren't recovered by whatever military they were supporting.  We wanted the player to smash it open to get at the goodies, but weren't quite sure how.  A similar smash function would work well for safes.  Perhaps they could have "wad of cash" that's now totally useless except as kindling   And a handgun and/or ammo.  Safes in houses containing guns and money would make sense as well.

Lol, I ninja'd you on safes, jewelry and gold clubs, unless you started your post after I did.

But aye, all good ideas there

[BurnedToast]

Swords (katanas and the other one) would be nice as a rare goodie. Seems like the sort of thing someone might pawn, anyway.

Maybe a *VERY* low chance of an artifact? You know, some relic soemone found in the basement/attic or whatever and pawned because they had no idea what it was? This works even better if artifacts aren't obvious at first glace.

[Girlinhat]

There's another sword?

[BurnedToast]

Yeah, rapier I think... It was added at the same time the gentleman stuff (suit, cigars, etc) was added. It's similar in power to the katana, and also horribly rare like the katana.

It's quite weaker than the katana, actually, but also more plentiful. (Rapier's frequency is at 3, while katana is at 2.)
Still, might be better to up the frequency a bit.
