Autosave's been back on for the past couple of versions; the game should autosave every half-hour (in-game time).

[Whales]

By the way, if anyone is interested, I was interviewed about Cataclysm on Roguelike Radio, an excellent podcast about roguelikes.  Listen at http://roguelikeradio.blogspot.com/2012/01/episode-20-cataclysm.html

Nice!
Teseng just dug up a new catacurse.cpp and .h, you might want to update, it'll make all of the windows users happy.

Cool!

Well fudgemuffin.  I got Cataclysm working on the in shop ubuntu laptop to play with during downtime, but the ubuntu system is an ancient IBM Thinkpad (Yes, IBM not Lenovo, it's THAT old.) and it doesn't have a numpad.  Curses!

Anybody know how to remap keys in Ubuntu 11.10 or is that just not possible.   I saw on the cata forums it's not possible ingame, but anybody with more ubuntu experience know of a way outside it?

P.S. I suppose I can hook up one of the shop keyboards to a USB adaptor and use that,  But I'm surprised my boss lets me have something like this on a system at all, I'd rather not have to tie up extra equipment if possible.

You can remap keyboard keys (as all the various keyboard types are just keymaps anyway) however it might be easier in this case to just modify keypress.cpp and recompile. Key press converts the numberpad to the vi keys (which is what cataclysm really uses) and so you can change it to map the whatever you prefer to those keys instead.

Just change where it says case '#'; return 'x'; to whatever you need (where # is a number and x is the vi key);

Alternatively you can play with the vi keys although they will seem strange.

y  k  u

h  .   l

b  j   n

Arrow keys also work for up/down/left/right (or k/j/h/l if you prefer)

[Greiger]

Huh, well that's a bizzare set of keys for movement heh.  That explains why I had managed to find 'down' but couldn't find 'Up' (I found up left and up right, just not up )

Anyway, I'll mess around a bit with changing those keys.  I see why folks earlier were saying that cataclysm is so much easier to mod in linux.  Who needs fancy compilers, strange rituals and obscure dependencies to compile when in linux all you need is terminal and a text editor.

P.S. Thanks much.

I really recommend taking the time to learn vikeys.  I know they seem strange, but once you start using them you'll find them really reasy, and it keeps your hand in a comfortable position.  Plus, if you're on linux you ought to know them, cause they're used all over the place

[Greiger]

Careful Whales, you already have a born and raised Windows user trying out something non windows, one step at a time

My mother would rock at this game then!

Atleast at moving..

You need a minigame in Cataclysm, "ZOMG ZOMG REVOLUTION" where you have to use VI keys to dance to a weird game, unless shit comes for ya.

Also, your voice reminds me of microsoft sam for some reason

[Evilsx]

Well......I can survive zombies.......I can get away from the hoards for them......I can fuck survival from complely damage to most for my body and heal my self complety......but one GODDAM BEE CAN KILL ME and i can not do shit to it!

AKA my first real try at this and i will keep play, I just love this sout for game, Keep up the good work Whales.

Now he knows about them he'll see them everywhere anyway DF uses them for some stuff if I recall right.
Personally I never got used to them, my brain rejects the concept of up and down on the same line as left and right....

At least you don't have to deal with the Windows bug where hundreds of giant bees or wasps randomly appear and swarm you.

That wasn't just windows, I had that too.
