A Rough Zombie leather patch is sewn onto it’s surface, embroidered with a depiction of Nasha-Zul. Nasha-Zul features a Rough Zombie leather patch, the patch is embroidered with a depiction of Nasha-Zul…

And that is the day I began sewing.

Well, on the one hand, we don’t necessarily want to turn Cataclysm: DDA into “DF Modern”, but item embellishments are Just Cool™, so I might have a look at it.

Also re-add tagging walls and floors with spraypaint.

[quote=“Williham, post:1, topic:94”]The fields used are as follows:

[ul][li][tt]name[/tt] is the name itself[/li]
[li][tt]gender[/tt] is the gender availability of the name, and can be [tt]male[/tt], [tt]female[/tt], or [tt]unisex[/tt][/li]
[li][tt]usage[/tt] is the usage class of the name, and can be [tt]given[/tt], [tt]family[/tt], or [tt]universal[/tt][/li][/ul][/quote]

With Universal names doesn’t that mean you could have same name for given and family? Not that it’s a bad thing, would be great to see an NPC called Bob Bob or something.

Williham · 2013-01-16T01:00:04.000Z

Yep, that’s the idea. I’m not sure the “universal” flag on the “usage” field is actually all that useful.

Yet.

But I’ll be getting back to name generation, and name generators, at a later point, and it’s chiefly a bit of groundwork for that.

I want to be able to write on walls and floors, so I can mark different storage areas.

Williham · 2013-01-16T20:25:44.000Z

It may be minor, but here it is:

Sleep and wait will now only trigger one autosave, at the very start.

Wether this is an improvement or a problem will have to be up to the individual player to decide.

system · 2013-01-16T23:25:26.000Z

All right, this may help with the “Forgot to close EVERYTHING up for the night and 500+ wolves get inside and claim the house” situation.

Williham · 2013-01-17T10:03:17.000Z

If you are thinking of save scumming, I’m sorry to disappoint:

The save happens after the sleep is initiated, so you can’t undo your sleep.

The_Darkling_Wolf · 2013-01-17T10:40:14.000Z

That renders the save pretty redundant, seeing as if you crash whilst sleeping you’re unable to go back and kill the NPC that’s causing the crash.

Williham · 2013-01-17T11:37:30.000Z

That’s true, but if the RNG is an element, it might not crash the second time around.

The_Darkling_Wolf · 2013-01-17T14:34:00.000Z

It’s usually pretty reliable when it comes to NPCs, I’ve fixed a lot of emailed saves by using Z, 8

Williham · 2013-01-17T14:40:26.000Z

Fair point.

Also, get on IRC!

The_Darkling_Wolf · 2013-01-17T16:20:43.000Z

Busy setting up my new computer

Williham · 2013-04-17T15:03:12.000Z

After reading through the (terrible) “Big bionics?” thread, I came to the conclusion that actually having some mutations to counteract the steady stream of grotesqueness modifiers you get with mutations would be a good idea, so I went ahead and added 4 new traits/mutations:

Pretty, Beautiful, Very Beautiful, and Glorious.

Their effects are pretty much the opposite of Ugly, Deformed, et. al.

So I guess something good came out of that mess after all.

KA101 · 2013-04-18T03:53:41.000Z

That…was long overdue. Good job.

I was trying to figure out how to mess with the mutations code, but got derailed at the point where they turned out to just all be flags. Might take a shot at giving 4/8 Tentacles the ability to Grab on a crit, rather than the constant Slap–I think that only affects the melee code.

Williham · 2013-04-18T08:12:44.000Z

Furthermore, a new profession going into 0.5.

The Scoundrel “profession”, starts you off with cargo pants and a hoodie, as well as various “sundries”.

And lots of “air quotes”.

Williham · 2013-04-22T02:43:55.000Z

A new book!

[glow=red,2,300]To Serve Man[/glow]

[tt]It’s… it’s a cookbook![/tt]

Williham · 2014-01-23T08:44:25.000Z

Just to round up some of the recent changes churned out by the WitoMod team (me!):

Survival expansion: Farming and Fishing!

New professions: Martial Arts practitioners, novice to Blackbelt.

Martial arts books for teaching Martial arts, and a dojo in which to find a couple of them.

infectedmochi · 2014-01-23T09:16:49.000Z

Thanks for your valuable contributions Williham :)) I like the the addition of fishing and new professions.
