EDIT: Oops, forgot to put most of the stuff in there.

New update!

Clean build, delete your saves.

Features:

• Huge mutation update.
  
  • More than 100 mutations, with more to come.
  • Mutations have several steps, which come in tree-like fashion.  For instance, you may develop bumps on your head.  The bumps may turn into antennae, or horns.  If they become horns, the horns may develop into curled horns, pointed horns, or antlers.
  • Mutations are grouped, and mutating within a given group increases your chance of mutating in that group in the future.  This includes lizard-like, beast-like, insect-like, tree-like, and many others.
  • Mutagen causes 3 mutations; arms, legs, fetuses and other cause one.  Purifiers downgrade mutations rather than removing them altogether.
  • All this is easily editable.  See mutation_data.cpp.
• Ambient diseases now exist, making the Disease Resistant trait useful.

Tweaks:

• Map tiles now have a "supports roof" flag, which makes building a roof much easier.
• Run Mode renamed to Safe Mode, to remove the confusion.
• Melee damage tweaks.  Bashing crits less effective; stabbing crits more effective.
• Monsters are now labeled with their species; this won't really be noticable in gameplay, but makes some things cleaner.
• Ranged combat more difficult, especially against fast-moving monsters.
• You can only wear 2 of the same type of armor at once.
• XP pool capped.  Training skills requires more XP.

Bug Fixes:

• Revolvers no longer called "semi-automatic."
• NPCs no longer chug painkillers until the bottle's empty.

Whales, I have a problem.

Here, I've compiled it for Windows:

(using this guide: http://whalesdev.com/forums/index.php?topic=86.0).

When you log on a personal computer (for a quest to download data), Q (to log out and shutdown) ALWAYS crashes the game.

Some of these mutations look great, I'm gonna have to stop avoiding mutagens

Spoiler: typo/bug fix that mentions a mutation (click to show/hide)

melee.cpp line 764 shouldn't mention curled horns as they are pointed there.

Well, mutations are still, on the whole, probably best avoided unless you have robust genetics.

Thanks for spotting that typo, good eye!

Yeah, it's an extant problem with the Windows display library.  We're working on it

Your best bet is the Linux emulator at this point: http://whalesdev.com/forums/index.php?topic=95.0

I also downloaded this and tried to use it (Windows).  I took off my jeans to put on cargo pants (with an overloaded inventory) and it crashed on the selection.

Ive just played the new build with Virtualbox for about 2 hours and not had any crashes, alot of odd 'monster cant walk though wall' and some weird HP debug messages, I found a house that was 1/4 turned to rubble with items still inside (brand new map, no explosions, lightning etc) but no crashes.

How long have the scientist zombies been in?  those things are MEAN.

They've been in for ages. I don't find them that hard, AFAIK they have 3 attacks and pick one at random.
1. Drop acid around them.
2. Summon a manhack.
3. Shoop-Da-Whoop.

The third attack is fairly easy to dodge, and they're about as tough as a regular zombie.

Also a tazer attack that's fairly rare, a self-tazering attack that makes the zombie miss a turn, and a few flavor attacks that do nothing.

I read this the first time and wondered why you started changing your pants while playing a video game, then wondered why you told us about it... then I thought the underlined part was some kind of innuendo... then I wondered how new pants could crash a game.

It was only then I realized you meant changing pants in game. It is 5AM...

This made my day.

Why bother with the Windows version? I'm told a Linux emulator works well.

[Deon]

Because some people whom I want to play it on youtube won't be able to start a linux emulator .

On the custom character start when you tab to the negative traits the first positive trait shows as 'NULL trait!' this looks to be an offset issue as it's before fleet footed.

Edit: seems to be newcharacter.cpp line 601 assuming a 0 offset when mintrait is really 1.
