You should put that in a .zip file or similar, to allow for downloading easier. Unless that's not what you intend.

[Girlinhat]

I don't usually share files.  So I just dumped it in and was done.  I'll .zip it.

Uh... alright, the debug menu key is Z, right?  How do I go about enabling that for the linux emulator?

[BigD145]

It's a capital Z and you should have no problems with it unless it's commented out in the keymap file.

[Girlinhat]

By default it is commented out, you need to edit that.

Thank you for that link; I was playing the one linked on the WD forums- last updated in 2011.

You can use the nano editor. If you are in the Cataclysm directory, type in your terminal

Code: [Select]

nano data/keymap.txtNavigate to the end of the file with the arrow keys (like any other graphical editor) and decomment the debug key. Press CTRL+O to save, ENTER to confirm the file name and then CTRL+X to exit. Done 

Warning: if you type the wrong fiilename when calling nano (like nano data/keyma.txt) it will open a new blank file. In this case, just exit with CTRL+X and run again nano with the right path (you can use the TAB key to autocomplete paths and filenames, although I don't know if it's enabled in the linux emulator)

My currently played version is here.  It's Dropbox, and I'm unfamiliar with how it works, so if there's any issues let me know!

Will also add a .txt to list the changes I've made.

I noticed your build doesn't have any starting skills. Are they a waste of points?

Also, hello Jenette.

Skills can be learned but stats never change and mutations are a bit unpredictable, so it makes sense to favour stats, and to a lesser degree traits over skills for a new character.

That said starting with skills will make your early game easier, especially something like a point in dodge.

Thanks, but, uh, I don't think it's working.  nano doesn't seem to be a command the emulator recognizes.  :x

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The syntax to start Cataclysm is ./run, so I tried ./nano data/keymap.txt, ./data/keymap.txt, but no dice.

[Drevlin]

It's very strange, usually nano is installed by default in all the linux distros... You probably could solve this problem using filezilla, but I don't know how, I think you can find the instructions in the tiniycore thread on the official forums

What killed my enjoyment was the ever-increasing battle against skill erosion. Eventually all I'd be doing all day is struggling to keep all my skills from going red. I wish there was a mod or something to drastically slow that down, because I don't think it's very realistic to forget everything I know if I don't practice it every single day.

Easy come easy go it seems. You can learn how to build a mini reactor and build a car from the ground up within a month or two, and I guess you can forget it just as quickly.

AFAIK nano isn't installed, but vi editor is and works. But it is ... let's say... pretty hard to do something in it. http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/vi.html

You start it with vi filename.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Or just like.. download nano.

You can learn skills in game.  You can't learn stats.  I'd only buy skills if they let you get the good high-level skills, like 12 in mechanics easier, but really if you spend 3 or less points in mechanics then you're wasting points - just read a book!

As said, dodge is really the only skill I'd ever drop a point into, simply for how overpoweringly useful it is everywhere at all time.
