Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead - FUCK NO SPORTING GOODS STORES

[Jojje]

[QUOTE=DeathDoom;40361990]So did anyone else get into the game by watching jefmajor?

In other news, my survivor of one week got capped by a wolf spider. Which I guess is fitting since spiders are fucking everywhere in this version

also fuck being cold[/QUOTE]

Yeah I wonder if the temperature is actually bugged in this version or something because I constantly freeze all the time even at like 11-13 degrees celcius. I wouldn't call that super-cold.

[Celcord]

How do I sneak? I keep walking around corners after skipping through fields of birds and deer, then being brutally murdered by 50 zombies.

[QUOTE=FlashStock;40362048]his playthrough is fun to watch but sometimes it's fucking frustrating because he misses things. one time his katana got stuck in a zombie and he didn't notice it, he ended up killing 5-8 zombies with his fists.[/QUOTE]

Jef plays with his balls, it's simultaniously hilarious, frustrating and awesome, especially in KSP and the like.
Gotta say, Cataclysm is one of my favourite roguelikes, though I'm pretty terrible at it.

[Jojje]

Jesus after hearing that Jef played with static mode on and I watched a video from him I decided to try it myself

If there is a hard mode in this game this'd be it. Good luck looting towns man you'll have the entire cities now undead populace coming down hard on you.

The fact that you can now clear out towns is pretty awesome, though. The 'higher noise the more zombies spawn' mechanic in the old version was pretty annoying imo.

I think that's for an older version.

[Zaex]

That's a shame.. Yea it was an outdated forum, They have new semi developers because the other guy stopped, and apparently it is a hassle for them to get a new tileset support.

Zombie brutes are assholes.

Shockers? I can handle that.
Bears? Come at me.

But brutes? Brutes are not to be fucked with.

[PaxMayne]

Is there a giant list of controls I can print out? I am racking my brain remembering all of these.

I see the problem you're next to a FEMA camp. Dont go there.

[Nutcake]

Yeah, I noticed it like five days after making my base in a Lab just a few map tiles down and wondered why zombies were coming from that direction even though the town was further south.

[WarRage]

Take speed trait, make two molotovs run around till zombies are all nice and grouped, watch the fuckers burn.

I love molotovs.

[Jojje]

Yeah maybe I should get into crafting and make improvised explosions so I can escape when shit goes pear-shaped.

How do I enable npcs?

[Jojje]

[QUOTE=lord0war;40370865]How do I enable npcs?[/QUOTE]

Go into data/npc.txt and change either
starting_npc to y if you want an NPC at the start in the center you start in
random_npc to y if you want random NPCs to spawn

I opened up my npc.txt and it doesn't have those values in it. It just has one line about instructions and the rest is blank. Can someone give me their npc.txt?

starting_npc n

There you go

Last time i used npcs it was broken as fuck, i was playing for over a hour or so then i got mugged by a chick called britney spears (i shit you not), she shot me dead. I respawned as a new character and she would come back and shoot me 1 turn after i respawn over and over again. Deleting the world did nothing wherever i would go she would find me and shoot me with her goddamn double barrel shotgun

Ahahah that sounds like a bunch of shit.

Across worlds, across saves, Britney Spears will find you and shoot you in the chest with a shotgun.

Also, just kinda figured a strategy for static spawning mode. Find a nice looking town, get your hands on explosives.
Run a few laps making a lot of noise, getting a large horde.
Run down the street, light your bombs and toss 'em into the horde.
C4 or even a mininuke should probably do the trick.

[WarRage]

I do that with molotovs easier to make and get stuff for.

Anyway me and my friend gonna do a succession game tommorow, every 4 ingame days we rar and upload the save file. Softcore so saving and raring the savefolder so we can acctually do this.

If only I could survive 4 days.

[chainsauce]

Is it possible to clear out towns? Cause I got a ton of zombies to follow me into a gas station then blew it up, then I got in a truck and ran over a ton more, and I haven't seen a zombie since.

[editline]22nd April 2013[/editline]

Also is it possible to blow up liquor stores, and how? As in, light the booze on fire, not just put explosives in it.

[ZCaliber]

Depends on your settings. Turn off dynamic spawns (Cataclysm default) and zombies don't magically spawn when you make noise. So yes, you can clear out a town.

You can craft a Molotov Cocktail with just a rag and a bottle of alcohol, light it, and just chuck it in the store..

[Manian]

Is there a good tileset for this?

[Videvik]

How do I achieve the same look as in the OP's screenshots?

Meaning what font is that (is it square?) and what is up with those colors?

[binkow]

Whoa, I found a peaceful town. Usually I get overwhelmed by 500+ zombies upon getting within 100 feet of a town, but for a first I only saw 1-2 zombies and actually managed to loot a good portion of town before having to leave.

That's the default look..
