Well I mean that if I try to load them the game crashes. The number system that used to be there is now wonky and seems to have set itself back to the thirties when it should be in the fifties. And if I try to zip them or move them at all my computer freaks out and I have to reset.

Old replays - i.e. those replays made with a version of the game older than you have - will probably crash the game. I'm not sure I can help you with your computer freaking out if you move files.

This week's blogpost: https://www.gaslampgames.com/2014/10/22/fight-or-flight/ Going into detail about how believable combat (or flight) behavior would look and how to make it that way in a game. It's pretty complicated!

Speaking of combat I have some observations:
Soldiers carrying an object and there rifle will push their rifle through said object to fire it. Currently this has resulted in fishmen being menaced with fresh fruit. Soldiers will ignore the perfectly placed pile of logs next to them in order to grab a much more tantalizing pile on the other side of the planet. Soldiers are much more interested in finishing a delivering than answering a rally summons Soldiers who run out of bullets will grab hoes or axes, and never ever grab a gun again Frontier Justice apparently means "when we get to it" I think this replay actually works. I can send it if need be. Although there was a significant pause in the action as I ran to picture my daughter up and take her to the dentist.

Daynab posted:New blogpost: https://www.gaslampgames.com/2014/10/29/afflictions-jobs-religion/ It seems like when it comes to sandbox colony building games, there's always a problem with either laziness or not eating enough in the long term. Towns suffered from a long-term eating disorder and I think one other game had similar problems during development.

Alright so it seems if there's another memory leak of some sort. I can't play a game longer than 45 minutes without it dragging to a halt and sucking all of my computer's resources. This menu is really bugging the hell out me  I dubbed him the Moonwalker cause he walked in place for 5 minutes before deciding he would sleep on the spot.  Oh sure it says he's retreating, what he's doing is casually sauntering past the scary fishman on the way to bed  You hold her arms, I've got the knife!  Still heresy!  So many more important things to do instead of running to the rally point and fighting.  Pick it up  Put it down  Pick it up  Put it down  He did that over and over again until I drafted him to cancel the job. I think there was a mixup in the planning. Something got swapped.  The chapel having some Unnatural Geometry issues. Does not bode well  I have no idea why this happened  Seriously though, the fishman attacks are really getting to be a pain in the rear end  Somebody who retreats will only do so in a mostly straight line  The result  Retreating may as well be a death sentence  This dude's fate  The fighting is really starting to annoy the hell out of me. My colonies are at constant war with a foe they never antagonized in the first place. Should the fishpeople be fine until you start harvesting their children? Why are they sending 20 squads of goons to kill all my colonists after our third day here?

If you have a replay where it's bogging down, let me know and post it on the forums. Combat seems to be a bit of a mess right now. I will prioritize Investigation (well, after I deal with the crashing, memory leaks, and problem of "people just constantly stare at the whiskey.") Man, I could stare at some whiskey this week.

Go ahead and grab it here. Since the replays don't record pauses, it's not as long as it COULD be. Although I've crashed twice trying to view it.

Deadmeat5150 posted:This dude's fate If fishpeople attacks are getting to be too much and you don't mind making changes you can change it pretty easily in the files. Easiest is just change how often the attack event fires, this is in CE\game\events\events.xml. Near the bottom is <event name="Fishpeople Attack"> and under that <require_timer name="Fishpeople Attack Timer" value="2000"/>, just up the 2000 to something higher to make it less common. IIRC there are 3000 ticks in a game day, ideally. Alternately in CE\scripts\embark_temperate.lus or embark_tropical.lua you can change the likelihood of an attack each time the event fires. Tropical biome has send("gameSession", "setSessionInt", "fishPeopleAttackChance", 2), and temperate has send("gameSession", "setSessionInt", "fishPeopleAttackChance", 3). So the chance of an attack is 1/2 or 1/3 respectively. So attacks are more common in tropical but since if an attack doesn't happen the anger is stored up (and actually given a bonus) temperate is more likely to get multiple attacks rolled into one. This is offset by send("gameSession", "setSessionInt", "fishPeopleRaiderCost", 2) for tropical and send("gameSession", "setSessionInt", "fishPeopleRaiderCost", 4) for temperate. This is the cost in fish anger per spawned attacker. So with the same amount of fish anger you will have half as many attackers in a temperate biome. Increase fishPeopleAttackChance to make attacks less frequent or increase fishPeopleRaiderCost to make fewer fishmen spawn per attack. Personally I think if the attack doesn't fire it should cool off the previous anger a bit and then give it a small boost, something like newAnger = (oldAnger * (7/8)) + 3. That way if you don't get attacks for a bit you aren't totally hosed by getting a massive one. A more interesting/complex formula would be to keep track of the anger when the attack didn't happen and if you haven't made them angry since then let them cool off otherwise make an attack more likely. So like if currentFishAnger == savedFishAnger then currentFishAnger = currentFishAnger * (7/8) else fishPeopleAttackChance = fishPeopleAttackChance - 1.

ASSERT(nvining_sane); Yep, I get an assertion all right. I did enjoy the blog post, though. Graphics isn't exactly my field, but I do remember that the last time I looked at OpenGL, 2/3rd of the documentation was about stuff that was hopelessly obsolete, so I can't say I fault them for getting rid of a lot of things. It also makes me appreciate that a lot of the APIs I use were created in the 80s and will exist until the heat death of the universe.
