What kind of builds do people do? I tried an Archer build and loved it!

[Whales]

I was on vacation for about 3 weeks, so it was a little hiatus I guess.  Update's coming soon.

[joihnsonlee]

i have a problem do i need to download all of the files in source to play?

and does it have graphic tiles?

[Deon]

You don't need all files, just download the compiled version.

Only an old version has graphic tiles (pre-construction), check my signature for that one (it's very stable though).

[head]

And yet it still may have been too soon--the Windows version tends to crash a lot

That might be inconsistency between ncurses or pdcurses. thus allowing to do some operations  on nucruses while pdcurses wont and crash

Teseng's code doesn't even use pdcurses!  But yeah, same idea, it's not 100% compatible.

Just got into this. Fantastic game.

Thank you!

What those it use then?

[Whales]

Straight-up GDI!

Straight-up GDI!

That sounds scary.

Straight-up GDI!

That sounds scary.

And exciting.

How is the devvy coming Whales?

[Whales]

Pretty good, been testing the new mutation system and it works like a charm.

There's close to a hundred valid mutations now, many of which are new, so I'll be coding them next, which should take a day or two.

I want this release to include a lot of rebalancing and clean-up, so I'll spend a few days on that, too.

With any luck, there'll be a good release by next Sunday.

Good release.... even for windows?

[yarr]

+1

make the windows version possible (and playable)

[Vorbicon]

A stable windows version would be cool, but the VirtualBox version that can be found on here somewhere works like a charm. Only thing that confuses me about it is when I exit a screen (like the map screen, inventory or looting menu), if I use the escape key it takes a noticeable few seconds for it to exit back into the game, whereas if I use the spacebar to exit it does so instantly.

Yeah, it's a little annoying, but it's easy to solve using a specific command before you run cataclysm, like this:

Code: [Select]

export ESCDELAY=25
./cataclysm
ESCDELAY is a global variable used by ncurses to set the "reaction time" of the escape key in milliseconds. 25 is the value used by the editor vi.
This can be easily embedded in the program code (in the main function or in the game class constructor, where ncurses is initialized) just adding the line

Code: [Select]

ESCDELAY = 25;but this depends on whales (otherwise you can mod it or create a script that runs the two commands above)

Not my department, can't help you there, sorry.

Okay.
