I might have missed something, but how do you see what type a weapon is (other than to infer it from the name)? I stuck to my starting longsword because I didn't want to mess up my masteries.

Unormal posted:It might be night-time or a cave without a torch or other light source equipped? Yeah, sorry. I unequipped my torch ages ago so I could use a second dagger and then went into a cave. The lack of a light source didn't seem to have any effect in there until I thought "Maybe a torch will increase my viewing distance in this cave?" and equipped one. When my viewing distance stayed the same I swapped the torch back for my dagger and at the same time used the veil. Thanks Unormal

Unless it's a "long sword" or obviously an axe or club/hammmer it's usually a short blade (daggers, kukris, etc are all short blades).

Where can I see my total AV and DV? Also, while I'm asking I have a question about Red Rock I left the town, went to the world map and headed North to Red Rock. On the local screen there I found some stairs down and inside are lots of snapjaws, a slime, a spider etc. Am I in the right place for the quest? Should I go deeper? Edit: Can True Men use mutation points for anything? Edit 2: gently caress. Killed by a Jilted Lover :/ I didn't notice my health was low.

Tufty posted:Where can I see my total AV and DV? Sounds like you're in the right place, it should trigger the completion of the first quest step when you get to the screen with the stairs down, and the rooms should be squareish. Make sure you get the quest from Mehmet. So yeah you should be able to go to the world map, walk 2 north, and go down and find the entrance on that screen as a stairs down amongst some rocks. quote:Edit: Can True Men use mutation points for anything?

There are up to a dozen messages along the line: "Bad blueprint at table ruins creatures 1 chance = 5" then the big error dump. System has 3G ram, and the task manager showed that the game executable was only using 250 M out of 1.8 G available at the time. I'm not much of a programmer, but I vaguely remember in Visual C++ that there was some setting you had to change to make the program grab more memory than the default of 100 M or whatever. Is there a similar option in working with .NET? Anyway, the console version works. You are a nerd fucked around with this message at Dec 18, 2010 around 01:16 |

I agree, my favorite thing about games like Crawl or ZAngband is the mutation system, and CoQ's is by far the most fun from what I've seen so far. I just love the idea of a four-armed axe wielding horned maniac charging into walls because of his nearsightedness. Mostly though I'm impressed by how intuitive it is without actually being easy.

a brief history of my adventures so far: Started as a True Man Child(lol) of the Deep, with stats weighted towards STR/AGI/toughness. Came equipped with some sort of massive jackhammer, an energy cell (which has since rusted (I probably should have stayed out of the water)  ) to power it, and an axe. Started going east and didn't find much except glowfish and crocodiles, though I did pick up a handy glowstone (torch that recharges in sunlight, afaik). Headed north instead to what I think are the red rock caves, and cleared out both levels. Met a named scavenger that threw fire seeds at me. Killed him and took his fire seeds. Axed a sleepy something to death. Had a close run in with a lizard man that forced me to use a few drug injectors. Emerged from the cave covered in lots of colored beads and shawls. After leaving the cave I slotted my hard earned exp into axe skills and the ability to sprint for a limited time, which came in quite useful about 20 seconds later when I ran into a pair of salthoppers that hosed me up. Going to go try using my jackhammer with the powercell now, I hope its exciting!!

Hey Unormal. Loving your game so far, I just have one issue. I'm using laptop keys, and it's messing with how the inventory system works. For example, if I have an item in inventory slot j, it doesn't work if I hit j to access it, because j is bound to "move down," so it just moves the cursor down instead of selecting that item. And if I select an item and then try to hit l to (l)ook at it, nothing happens since l is bound to "move right." Is there any way you could make it so that the letter keys always work on the inventory screen regardless of the keybindings? It's not a huge deal since I can still play the game just fine, but it'd be nice as a convenience thing. Also is there any downside to running in console mode instead of normal mode? I like console because I can screw around with the font.

Yeah, the problem is figuring out when you want to move down with J and when you want to hit J to select by letter. I decided it's better to support cursor movement when a cursor direction conflicts with a letter hotkey since it's more generic. Otherwise you couldn't move down, just select by letter. Maybe the wrong choice, I dunno, but there's not a clear solution that I can see. The only real issue with console mode is that sometimes the code page/glyphs are wrong and I don't know how to ensure it's using a basic ANSI code page. Nothing I've tried to force the right code page ever works in all environments. So you may get the wrong symbols, which displeases me immensely! Other than my personal displeasure if you happen to have a machine that displays the wrong character set, and the fact that it will be harder to tell what is what, it won't actually break the game in any way.

Looks like the quest items not being removed from your inventory affects more than just the wire: the gate guards outside what I assume is Grit "took" Argyve's data disk, but I still have it. Also the previous quest (to find the Grit gates in the first place) hasn't checked off the intermediary steps. (Find the Grit Gate surface, enter the tunnels.)

Also, another quick question: how do I tell what kind of ammo goes in a gun? My dude is holding a desert rifle and the merchant in Joppa sells some ammo, but I'm not sure what I should be buying. The description for the desert rifle doesn't seem to tell me anything. EDIT: Another question, what with your incredible speed in posting new builds (kudos on that, btw), what's the safest way to upgrade to the newest build? Can I just run the new installer and my saves and stuff will still be compatible, or should I just assume that with each new build I'm going to have to wipe everything?

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Maybe you could make it something you can set in the options menu? Not sure how hard that would be to implement. Saves are usually compatiable between small builds. I don't bother to upgrade old saves if I change the data model though, so there's always a chance that a save will not load correctly in a new version. So if you're running a character you really don't want to stand a chance lose, don't upgrade till you're done with it. Otherwise, you're usually fine to just run the upgrade and it'll keep all your existing saves and settings if it can (which it usually can). Most newbie guns use lead slugs. I'll update the look description to indicate what base type of ammo they use.

Well I'm already entertained. Rolled up a Esper with Temporal Fugue (time clone) and evil twin mutations, so noticing a duality theme I go with the name Sollux. Just screwing around I summon up the clone and what does he do first thing but use DISINTEGRATION ON A DRAGONFLY nearly killing me in the explosion. I'm going to get some more levels before I summon my homicidal and/or suicidal twin again. Wonder what pain my actual evil twin is going to do to me.

Pffhahahahaha, I ran into a group of scavenger dudes in the Red Rock caves and one of them suddenly exploded and burst into flame. I thought my game had completely glitched out with the smoke flying everywhere. Then I ran into another group of scavengers and killed one of them who was carrying a lit torch. The torch dropped to the ground and lit his possessions on fire. This game rocks.

I have a question: Are the total points for your attribute rolls during character creation maxed at something, or is it possible to roll straight 22's (or whatever the max roll is)? I'm just curious, as I never know if games with rolled stats do that or not, and I figured since you're here it'd be a good time to find out.

I am mostly loving this game! I made a Chimera mutant, and ended up with Regeneration, Two Hearts, and that Quill armor thing. I got to level eight or so; a pyrokinetic snapjaw warlord lit me on fire while a couple of brutes and warriors started beating the poo poo out of me. Between a naturally high toughness and the huge loving Second Heart bonus, I had like 70hp, and my regeneration was nearly fast enough to counteract me being on fire, so I mostly stood there and dude after dude would run up to impale themselves upon my quills. I even manged to kill the purple-colored, unique-named Baboon King. Also I had a battery-powered FIRE HAMMER which was pretty cool. Then, wandering around, I found some presumably randomly generated 'ruins,' and got a prompt asking if I'd like to check them out, to which I said, hell yes. Then I wandered around a swampy area for a few minutes before the game froze up; I didn't even get an error log, it just kinda hung there. I tried loading the backup save, and... it immediately hung again, no error logs to speak of. Then I discovered that this thing deletes your save files as soon as you open them up again, and so I lost my spiky murderbeast man forever.
