Weird, I’m playing latest experimental with no problems.

I figured out what happened its those glitchy NPC’s or the fact I hit play now.

Play now works fine. Try disabling NPCs

I’m a noob at installing things on a mac, how do I install cataclysm for the mac and what do I do with the .tar file it extracts.

BeigeSand · 2013-08-26T01:00:39.000Z

I have noticed a problem with the Mac version too. The experimental version is apparently a .4 KB download. As opposed to the stable which links to version .6, a 500+ mb download. I could just have missed something, but that seems to be an issue, especially since the resulting .tar file is unable to be extracted by anything.

Zireael · 2013-08-26T07:57:52.000Z

Try re-downloading the experimental.

Also, the stable is 5 MB, not 500.

What’s the next version going to be called? May I suggest “Lovecraft”?

system · 2013-08-26T17:37:39.000Z

Or “Lovecraftian days ahead”

hobos and hoes
it even rhymes

BeigeSand · 2013-08-27T02:41:15.000Z

You’re right, my bad on the stable file size. Have tried re-downloading, including on a different machine. I guess I’m just doing something horribly wrong when I click on the link.

There is a bug (atleast when I downloaded) where the top of the window (in windows) says 0.6 still, even though it is really version 7.1 (which it says under the Title on the opening screen). Can you confirm that you are looking at the center of the screen, and not the title of the window?

Question!
My friend downloaded latest build, watching him play via Live Stream, and it’s all tile based with ? everywhere.
How do we get back to ASCII? We tried turning Tiles to False and resetting game, didn’t work.

GalenEvil · 2013-09-08T09:04:27.000Z

Turning tiles to false, making sure it saved, and then quitting and restarting the application should have fixed it. It functions like changing the viewport width and height values.

Dzlan · 2013-09-08T09:23:32.000Z

Thanks, that helped a lot. He ended up playing Spelunky, but is now playing Cataclysm now.
Edit: And ASCII forever, haha.

GalenEvil · 2013-09-08T09:39:08.000Z

Yeah, we need to get an ‘official’ tileset to distribute with the package since my programmer art one is rather lacking

Dzlan · 2013-09-09T05:50:24.000Z

I’m not to fussed though. I prefer ASCII graphics over other graphics. I don’t know why.
Also, with the Tile Set, not only is there a lot of ?'s but also, you can’t tell zombies apart.

GalenEvil · 2013-09-09T07:10:58.000Z

Yeah, my temp-zombie tile is a catch-all for every zombie type right now haha. If I get around to making more tiles again I’ll be adding much more variety. Right now I do my programmer tiles at a rate of about 6-8 per hour. I am really slow and suck at pixel-arting

Binky · 2013-09-09T09:50:22.000Z

The new version looks great, so many improvements!! I will risk life, limb and career and start it cata up again soon!
My one thought on tiles (and I know this is only a ‘basic’ one and I’m sure there will be many more to come) is that it needs more contrast to differentiate objects/monsters/floor. Possibly putting a black border around them (especially the main char) would help for this basic tileset as I found when looking at the video that it became a bit mushy at times.

Also, with the huge amount of objects and items being added all the time, what are the plans for keeping the tileset upto date? I guess just having generic item tiles would be fine for most of the time (a generic shotgun tile, a generic ammo tile) but there are some that don’t really ‘fit’ as easily I suppose.

Just to reiterate - amazing work everyone!

???

We don’t have a version 4.0.0. You sure you got the right forum?
