Cataclysm DDA 0.5 Released

Soron:

Simply put, caves function differently than towers. There are lazy hacks which work for caves and rock, but poorly for sky. The code was submitted as a pull request at one point, and the comments there give a bit more detail about what needs work. If you want to continue discussion, that would be best handled over on Github, or in a separate topic (I’d suggest the modding or suggestions subforums).

[quote=“SuicideRey, post:39, topic:1210”][quote=“Nopkar, post:38, topic:1210”]yanking it free takes quite a few movement points meaning Z’s get strikes on you quite quickly.

I’m not sure about the blisters, do they do any real damage or is it just a momentary notification that goes away? also do you have anything covering your mouth that would make you too warm or cold?[/quote]
I see, still never really gave me any trouble…

Blisters make my speed go up to 25 I even took everything off to test it, they appear everytime I load a game and make my speed go to 25 sometimes puts me in a sticky situation… I don’t think cold makes blisters appear either.[/quote]

From my experience with that bug, the blisters disappear in one turn. Are yours persistent? I think I will have time after work today to look into what is causing that strange bug.

I am not sure if this was fixed in the newest revisions already but I had some problems with the map in version 0.5:
I could see map info of a dead character, and now I lost all my map info as I loaded my game today.

Other than that stellar job.

Delete your save file and start fresh? If there is old information lying around in the folders it could be interacting in strange ways. Also, spray cans persist between players of the same world.

The Darkling Wolf:

[ul][li] Artifacts should save/load properly now![/li][/ul]

Yay! still doesn’t get me my “free” artifact back, but still pretty cool.

Nighthawk · 2013-05-15T23:06:26.000Z

Hand me that flask of mutagen, will ya?

Takes several large gulps

Ahh. This’s gonna be a looong night.

EDIT - Hohoooooo, a Hardcore mode in the form of a trait, eh? That sounds amazing.

Now all I want is knockback and extra damage due to knockback from large enemies like hulks. It’d make fighting zombies so epic.

Quick check: are all zed-wounds supposed to trigger infection, or only some of them?
Never mind, checking in https://github.com/TheDarklingWolf/Cataclysm-DDA/commit/ed836648888b0c7a47ca3c29e4e6cd82e2dac0a1 indicates that it’s a 1/10 shot, line 1438 of monattack.cpp.

Iosyn · 2013-05-16T14:00:21.000Z

Note: Current version is still labelled as 0.4-git.

vultures · 2013-05-16T16:22:16.000Z

To pitch a second one…
Had a dozen spawns, and also checked out ones in character’s vicinity. Superb kick team! With natural resources and predators abound, this should be a hundred plus hour gameplayZ.

TaintedHolyWater · 2013-05-16T19:31:30.000Z

Not sure if it’s been stated but wooden crossbow bolts are crafted under weapons, while wooden arrows are under ammo.
Seamed like it could have been easily overlooked.

Soron · 2013-05-16T22:46:07.000Z

Good catch about bolts, I’ll open up a ticket to fix it.

Luckily, it’s something that you can fix without recompiling now :). If it bugs you, all you need to do is open up data/raw/recipes.json, find the bolt entry (search for “bolt_wood”), and change the category from “CC_WEAPON” to “CC_AMMO”.

TaintedHolyWater · 2013-05-17T07:58:54.000Z

Cool, just figured I’d toss it out there. Didn’t think it would be THAT easy… but I’m going to bed so I’ll probably forget to change it. Night.

Soron · 2013-05-17T10:32:37.000Z

There’s a reason we went through all the trouble of moving lots of stuff into JSON data files :). Now, granted, the precise order inside the file does affect the order that they’re displayed in-game, but other than that, changing the category is as simple as changing one line (and I think that the order would be sane if you left bolts where they currently are, anyway).

Morrigi · 2013-05-17T16:09:11.000Z

Found a bunch of fungaloids and fungal zombies with no spire nearby, is that normal?

Morrigi:

Fungaloids and fungal zombies can wander quite far from their spire. It’s fully possible to start encountering them without being able to see the spire at all if there is any sort of forests around.

vultures · 2013-05-23T22:19:44.000Z

Had to ask…
Is it any good, that Brigitte build? I assume it’s a build…

KA101 · 2013-05-25T02:18:18.000Z

Yeah, not sure what the reasoning was for naming the version but wev. Found my second wolf suit the other day and was glad that TDW made enough money to move from a house in my starting town to the Mansion the next town over. (Was kinda disappointed that it can’t take the (fits) tag though, so still holding out for jedi robes.)

Uh, as in 30 or 40+ map-screen map tiles, past a Beehive & FEMA camp? Either that or there’s another spire around.

TaigaR · 2013-05-28T11:59:36.000Z

Excuse me for a stupid question, but where to see the full changelog?
For some reason i havent found it on Google.

Here: changelog.txt or in your existing Cataclysm directory -> data.

Most likely you’ve got another spire hiding someplace then.

Small note on this, but the changelog isn’t quite always fully up to date, instead leaping forward ever week or two. Thus while the changelog is a nice place to start or for a quick overview, the best place to see the actual change-for-change list is to read the git commit list, where you can see the actual changes being made.
