Latest experimental features

Heads up everyone, but I made a small goof that breaks saves going from pre build 2211 when updating to 2211. I should get a fix up in a few hours with any luck, so if you are carrying over saves you might need to wait a bit to play the absolute latest. Sorry bout that!

Oh so that wasn’t just me. Oh well.

Save transitions should be fixed now, a big thank you to Narc0tiq for merging my fix in once I got the PR up.

My wonderful windchill PR has been merged :3 That means wind and humidity will make you warmer or colder. If the weather gets too bad, you might have to wait out the storm in a house! Make a nice little fire and let the warm air fill the room…

*Burn down the house because there are no simple way of holding in a fire without dying of smoke inhalation

Haha, exactly! That suggestion with nice little fire made me chuckle.

Guys, about the windchill mechanic…

~It’s the first day of spring and… (no, no, it’s a joke, I’m in summer already.)

I’m getting -205ºC by riding a bike, and I’m not naked or anything D:

(how do I upload a screenshot? I tried to do it by the “attach” tool and it said the Upload Folders were full!)

Thank you!

I’m sleeping in a sleeping bag and wrapped up completely head to toe in multiple layers with 20ish warmth each. My hands are the warmest part of me out of all the body parts. Everything is between 0 and 19 in the @ screen. I slept overnight in a vehicle and my hands are the only thing frost nipped. When did Cata go opposite day?

Thanks for your contribution, I was following in GitHub waiting for it to get merged, cant wait to try it.

Jinzaditen, you will want to make an account on say, imgur, and upload your images there. Then you get their url’s from imgur and post those in the text body of your posts here. (click insert image button, then paste the url between the “[img]”-looking text the insert button places.) Imgur has all the room to host your pics, cata’s forums doesn’t, but will relay whatever from other sites.

jinzaditen · 2014-10-10T16:38:49.000Z

Thank you, Pthalocy! I’ll do that!

I am compiling a fix for it. In source code world, the units of a vehicle’s speed is mph * 100. Who knew!

The body parts are now measured from -100 to +100, so 0 - 20 is good. The fact you got frostnip is interesting, but it’s no worries really. Frostnip is essentially “my fingers are so cold they are numb”. Frostnip will only move to frostbite if conditions are bad enough.

Haha this is awesome!
Imagine this one poor guy, he’s trying to outrun zombies when he suddenly hears a roaring engine coming up the street. He thinks "hurray! Another survivor who will save my ass"
And to his surprise, it’s a big block of ice with a scared guy inside riding a bike instead.

Yes, but my hands are the warmest part of me. Most of my body parts are at or near 0. Sleeping overnight in a vehicle seat with a sleeping bag on it made my warmest body part get frostnip and no other body part was affected. There is a whole chain of messages mentioning hands and nothing else.

Also don’t put in just the URL, right click on the uploaded picture and click on the one that says copy image location IIRC. Now when you post the url it should have a .jpg .gif .whatever at the end of the URL

Pthalocy · 2014-10-10T20:09:30.000Z

Yeah, imgur gives you a couple options for what you want to paste in. One of them already includes the same code “insert image” adds in the forum text box, which will save you a step. They’re all labelled in imgur to make it clear which you want.

have not actually tried the latest experimental yet, does the wind blow things around? like smoke or gas being pushed in the direction the wind is blowing?

Not yet. Fields would be acceptable, stuff, not so much (absent a tornado, hurricane, etc)

I would love to do that, but it’s beyond my programming abilities. Well, it’s beyond my abilities to do it properly, with wind moving around buildings and cars…

This new warmth mechanic has me a bit offguard, I feel like I’m cold all the time, especially when I sleep!

I find it funny though, for the moment after I drink coffee, I have instead of Chilly, it’s Chilly(Rising!!) and main body parts have 60 (in pink)
