I feel like I'm missing something in Cud. Is there an easy way to compare my armor/weapons to ones on the ground? Right now if I don't know if the item I'm looking at is better I hit E and unequip that slot and then look through the items to check. I feel like I'm doing this the hard way.

To answer your actual question, not as far as I know. Honestly, though, just pick up everything, then when you're full return to town and sort through the poo poo there. Dump what you don't need on the merchants.

Unormal posted:One of the initial techpatches should have fixed that. Though I'd be interested to hear otherwise. You can remap everything, so at worst it's only an issue till you remap stuff, which should only take a few minutes. If it needs it and someone makes one, I'd be interested in getting a macbook default keymap file. The laptop keybindings completely break navigating menus, it's really really annoying to play with anything but a numpad. It's not unusable per say but it slows down play dramatically.

What is happening right now is yuhjklnm stay bound to up/down/left/right/etc/etc in menus when they should revert to their respective letters. So if you want to loot item 'b' from a chest you need to scroll to it and select it with space and then 'g'et it. If you wanted to loot item 'd' you just press 'd'.

That's how every other roguelike does it. e: I guess the other option would be to remove yuhjklbn from the list of items so the item list would go acdefgimop etc etc e2: on further investigation this is the only roguelike I've played that even lets you scroll in your inventory/menus to select things with a cursor. Everyone else just lets you press the key for the item or to scroll the entire screen down with the arrow keys/pgup/pgdown if your inventory is larger than a-Z uPen fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Jul 23, 2015 |

Unimpressed posted:Sorry to steer the conversation away, but I just downloaded ADOM to give it a go and I can't get the tutorial to start, neither in the graphics version, nor the console version. In the graphics I click Start Tutorial and it takes me back to the main menu, in the console, the 's' key just does nothing. Anyone know anything about this? The LP Megathread has a playthrough of the tutorial if you wanted to know what was inside of it (well, most of it, it misses the searching/quick move bits due to dying). It also has a winning ultra-ending playthrough if you want to read and learn from it until you don't want to be spoiled anymore.

I don't use the laptop binds (I'm used to using top-row numbers for diagonals after years of roguelikes on laptops, don't judge me) but I will note a problem with keys in CoQ on my Macbook Pro, which is that it doesn't recognize the delete key on the continue-saved-games screen so there's no way to get rid of old saves that the current version won't run.

dis astranagant posted:2: Not a big fan of that mutation overall, it caps out at ~25% chance to attack with your extra limbs. Multiple Arms were significantly better in the non-Steam version where you inherited non DV/PV/Resistance qualities from the things you stuck in them, so you could shove a set of Ulnar Stimulators on your extra arms for the extra +1 Str +1 Agi. Same with all the multiple (X) mutations. Physical mutations are already generally weaker outside of a few standouts like Carapace, so I'm not sure why that feature was removed. I don't think 'four armed four legged guy has a couple extra points in stats lategame because he can safely use ulnar stimulators and the like without losing any PV' is a huge issue.

Happylisk posted:I seem to recall the dev saying that the perk wheels have over legs or flight units is abundance. They're just easier to find generally. Happylisk posted:Speaking of cogmind propulsion systems, I'm pleased with the buff to treads with regard to recoil. One day I'll get to the surface with a pure blaster build... one day. Unormal posted:Since each character is a tile on an 80x25 grid, it would look very strange. It's not just rendering responsively on a blank canvas. Ah, traditional roguelike design meets modern gamers... I don't suppose Qud players would be satisfied running the game in a window rather than fullscreen? At least with Qud there's that solution (that's how I play any roguelikes with a smaller grid, but then  I also play Cogmind this way, too).

Kyzrati posted:Yup, wheels aren't really meant to be used except in an emergency where nothing else is available--easy to find because you can take them off almost any non-combat bot. Their advantage isn't in their stats. (Also, by design you can theoretically take pretty much anything from any robot, so there are a few parts that are inherently worse than all others.) I run qud windowed now, the launcher screen for steamqud is a godsend. Edit: I've been thinking recently, i have no idea how feasible it would be but i would really love it if i could specify running qud with a longer x axis so that the UI panel doesn't have to cover a third of the map.

Kyzrati posted:Funny, I have the exact opposite problem because I use a 80x60 grid, so one of the more frequent complaints is Bigger Font Please! All I can say is get a bigger screen to fit a bigger font :/ (I did just add a big batch of more readable terminal fonts which helped a number of players, but it's not a perfect solution for those with poor eyesight who might have trouble reading a small grid at all.) I read all of the requests for "smaller font please" as "your message log sucks", which is a very valid complaint.

Message log is perfectly servicable until you get your 4 armed death tornado going, in which case it dramatically shits the bed.

Kyzrati posted:Qud's messages are already fairly short; I think the most serious issue is that the log is crammed into a narrow 24-cell strip on the right side that forces a lot of newlines, making it harder to follow than a wider topside log. Not something you're likely to redesign at this point, though :/ No, I'm def. not redesigning the actual console UI... but I can probably start moving pieces of UI out into the unity shell and do some really cool stuff. For instance imagine a small font message log just sort of scrolling up from the very bottom of the screen and fading away. I could probably go so far as to do things like paperdoll inventory and stuff... but not this week. V LOL

Oh crap, I think I might be stuck in Qud. I'm in the Rust area and went down to the bottom of one of them, then went back to the top but apparently the stairs to the surface are just gone; searching for them gives me a message that none are nearby. Can enough amoeba slime 'bury' stairs or something? I killed a couple around them. Do I have any debug options or something? EDIT: Got back to the world with the noclip; glad those commands are there! Looked like the upstairs and downstairs spawned in the same tile on level 2. ellbent fucked around with this message at 06:57 on Jul 23, 2015 |

Or use your smoke animation code to have the damage numbers "float away" from the player (and target). It's where the player is looking, so it's arguably the best place to put them.
