[QUOTE=Lijitsu;43751910]Hordes aren't uncommon. Zombies tend to move towards sound, and I believe it's irrelevant of who it comes from as long as they can't see it. So if a zombie shuffles and makes noise, they'll move to it and trigger more zombies that follow them, who trigger more zombies, etc..[/QUOTE] I hate it when one zombie runs to me, I am all like "Oh just one, I will kill it in one blow" and then it meets a car. [i][b]SHKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE[/b][/i] And then this is the most populated spot on the block in mere seconds.

What's wrong with sporting good stores? I find them quite useful for backpacks [editline]2nd February 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Vilusia;43752203][img]Wow you can climb fences.[/QUOTE] wow. Teach me master.

Im addicted to this game now. There is so much to do.

[QUOTE=Vilusia;43752203][img]http://i.imgur.com/WJJKCTo.png[/img] I don't think I can smash a chain link fence. Wow you can climb fences.[/QUOTE] You can, but it takes a while. If you want to actually remove them, wire cutters work best. Or a car, but wire cutters are less dangerous. [QUOTE=RazorsharpLT;43753887]What's wrong with sporting good stores? I find them quite useful for backpacks[/QUOTE] The thread title? It's not condemning them, it's panicking because there aren't any. Sporting goods stores are some of the best sources of gear in the game, I frequently find reflex recurves in them.

Does 0.9 even have skill decay options.

[QUOTE=DrugUnit;43758605]Does 0.9 even have skill decay options.[/QUOTE] Yes you can disable skill decay in the options.

Started a new generic guy. Managed to procure two backpacks and some of the basics. On the road saw what appeared to be a group of scientists that were slaughtered by a single Jumping Spider. After claiming a Lab Coat, some Cargo Pants and a few Lab Ids, it starts raining. Luckily a second Evac Shelter is right nearby. As of now its been a lightning storm for 5 in game days and I've been holed up in the basement, eating hotplate canned goods and studying a Family Recipe book I happened upon. Not exactly the most exciting Current Cataclysm Events, but its a thing and it could be worse.

If I want the game settings to be as "realistic" as possible (bearing in mind it's still a game), what should I enable/disable/change? Like seasons being 91 days long (I'm assuming there's 4 seasons), no mutation by radiation, circular distances etc. I'm assuming a realistic city size would be the max one? Or is 16 spawning cities that are several times larger than, say, New York? [editline]2nd February 2014[/editline] What settings do you guys use?

[editline]2nd February 2014[/editline] What settings do you guys use?[/QUOTE] The max city size is not realistic, it's Corusanct mode. I mean remember that Star Wars planet fully covered by a city? That's what you get with the max setting. Avoid it like fire.

I set my city size to about 3. That way you get small villages, a few houses in the country side also on their own, and you also get some large city style places to go with it.

-snip, nevermind

Had a car, was talking to my brother and looked away for a second whilst holding the pass turn key to travel the long road, we both recalled no cars along it. Yeah. I crashed and lost a wheel and ruined the car. Looks like I'll have to come back for all that loot at a later date when I have new transportation. :suicide:

Was sneaking in a house looking for loot, saw a zombie in one room. I shut the door so the zombie couldn't follow me. When I came back to the room to kill it the zombie was gone. I assumed it left the house. So I go to exit and guess what showed up behind me. [img]http://i.imgur.com/xAQsqiY.png[/img] [editline]3rd February 2014[/editline] I just hit the jackpot. All these lockers are filled with guns. [img]http://i.imgur.com/5NufwWC.png[/img] [editline]3rd February 2014[/editline] Welp too good to be true the game shut off without me saving.

Weapon basements are the best kind of basements. You can usualy find mods there too. Most common source.

Auto-save is really useful, I set it to like every 10-20 turns, Get's annoying at first but you get used to it. Saved my ass plenty of times. Should be able to set it in the options.

Any good 8x8 square font I could use for this?

[QUOTE=-Vronkio-;43778185]It was for the best, it was gonna stop being fun.[/QUOTE] Yeah goddamn there is so much loot in the game now. It's a real shame considering that it makes all of the countless cool improvised weapons you can make out of scrap completely useless. No point in cobbling together a sweet pneumatic rifle out of a nailgun and a pipe if there are a half a dozen proper rifles in the basement of every third house. [QUOTE=StrawberryClock;43779966]Any good 8x8 square font I could use for this?[/QUOTE] I recommend Monaco. If you're not familiar with changing fonts you also gotta make sure the 'fontdata' file in the 'data' folder is properly formatted. It should look like this: [code](fontname) (width) (height)[/code]

Should I enable NPCs? [editline]4th February 2014[/editline] Also, might be a silly question but would anybody be interested in watching me stream some of this? I'm fairly new to roguelikes so it could be pretty entertaining to watch.

NPCs are bugged in a lot of ways right now, including potentially causing crashes. [editline]4th February 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=-Vronkio-;43778185]It was for the best, it was gonna stop being fun.[/QUOTE] I don't see how? I frequently run characters that end up with access to heavy weapons, including 5+ LAW rockets plus grenade launchers, numerous other guns including top-end kinetic weapons, lots of good melee weapons, and tons of preserved food. There's more to the game than just trying to find a weapon.

I don't know why you would, but in case you have time to waste I'm streaming this right now at: [url]www.twitch.tv/angryfrenchkanadian[/url] [editline]4th February 2014[/editline] Well this is silly. I can't get past the character customization menu because I'm fucking stupid. Can someone hop on my stream to tell me how to stop sucking with the UI? [editline]4th February 2014[/editline] Ugh, streaming is tedious when you try to have a decent screen config. [editline]4th February 2014[/editline] Yeah, feeling pretty fucking stupid right now for not being able to figure out how to get past the custom char menu because I can't find the key I need to use to proceed. [editline]4th February 2014[/editline] Ok, I'll just ask directly: How do I get past the mod loading when I'm creating a new world/character? [editline]4th February 2014[/editline] Nevermind, I just hard to change my keyboard settings to US instead of Canada.

So you can check out the life and death of my first character on this video (go straight to 2 hours 25 minutes, I was faffing about for a long time): [url]http://www.twitch.tv/angryfrenchkanadian/c/3665124[/url]

Ah I love easy it is to make your own mods for this game. Already got new guns, professions, ammo types and gun mods in game.

[QUOTE=Jamie1992GSC;43783549]Ah I love easy it is to make your own mods for this game. Already got new guns, professions, ammo types and gun mods in game.[/QUOTE] Yeah it's pretty sick.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;43783553]Yeah it's pretty sick.[/QUOTE] Guess I'll keep building the rest of my Weapon list first :v: Got a LOT of guns I want throw into the game.

I rely a lot on tilesets, so I don't use mods much because they often don't have models.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;43783656]I rely a lot on tilesets, so I don't use mods much because they often don't have models.[/QUOTE] I very much intend to make Icons and such for them so that you aren't left with those Question mark tiles when they are on the ground. Providing I can figure it out.
