Dredmor Patch 1.0.10 RC9 Feedback Thread - I Believe in The Lever Fix

Just zip it. That works. Or you could even rename it to end in .zip if you wanted. That would work too so long as you tell us that it is not really a zip.

 

right, forgot about that, sry

 

tried to toy around with (steam).exe Renaming appid.txt to something else and (steam).exe to just .exe doesn't work if launched from steam, but works if launched directly (steam doesn't shows anything, i am online) or via steam shortcut. Also achievements do not work at all.

 

That does it. I am going over to the off topic forums to start a thread about "Why some people care for achievements?".

I have nothing against it, but I do not get it. I will link in the thread in a moment if Daynab or someone else working here does not mind. Here we are:

You seem to be annoyed about it, sorry, i just wanted to point it out.

 

Is it just me, or is Transdimensional Dodge activating when an ENEMY dodges YOUR attack?

I changed the buff from Froda's Jump Discontinuity to Fell Power, if that makes a difference.

 

It does seem broken. You can dodge, but you never teleport when you dodge even with the buff active. Nice find.

 

I have an error to report about version 1.0.10. First of all I use the steam version of the game and switched those files for the 1.0.10 so I understand that might be the reason. I recently started up the game and at the "...unfortunately that hero is you." screen before the main game loaded I got this error that says "Some Art is Horribly Broken". This is not the first time this has happened. The other time the game had fully loaded and it was after I had just drunken a potion. Can't remember which one unfortunatly.

 

When i run it from steam process Dungeon of drermor.exe appears, then after second appears werfault.exe and both disappear. Not even config (Choose thy configuration wisely) window appears. Nothing. I run on Windows 7 x64 Home Premium, Intel i5, 8gb ram. Could be there conflicting software, like antivirus or Sandboxie (although i don't run steam in it)? Is there any log i can post?

Also i think Fallen Vegan is glitching. Shouldn't it be activating always when you hit an animal? It activates sometimes for me. Also friend protection would be nice (You really want to hit this poor creature?)

 

That was in valve time

 

I did this, and now Steam keeps trying to update DoD. I disabled automatic updating, shut down Steam, restarted, and it did it again...it even turned automatic updating back on.

 

Your problem is that you're trying to play with FAXPAX. Turn off FAXPAX. I am pretty sure the specific culprit is Encyclopedia Magicka

It seems like a few mods have broken because the game is unable to handle their PNG images.

This was incidentally the reason why I thought I would peek with a debugger+disassembler but unfortunately I did not get much insight from that. Good luck to the people with the code and debugging symbols, if they care to fix this.

It may also be feasible to change the PNGs in such a way that the game can load them, but I have no idea how to do that what you'd need to change.

 

Ah Ok. Thanks for the assistance.

 

Super-minor visual glitch: with the new scrollbar in place on the Skills menu, if the last row of skills ends 'underneath' the the pictures of the skills you've already selected, then when your mouse leaves the "Random" and/or "Last" buttons, the area within the "selected skills" row that corresponds to the two invisible spaces past the end of the list of selectable skills will become 'background colored'.

This is much more understandable when you see what I mean:

Note the location of the two "empty spots" at the end of the selectable skills here:



Then we scroll the skills down one row, and...



...we mouseover and then de-mouseover Random and Last.

Et voila, the super minor visual glitch.




[EDIT 7 hours later: Also, my Permadeath clicker keeps turning back on randomly when I've turned it off. I noticed because I'm testing a mod, so I'm quitting and rebooting the game every 2 minutes, and it seems like about 1/3 of the time, Permadeath will turn itself on when I've had it off persistently. Haven't tested to see if it also turns off randomly when I've turned it on.[/EDIT]

 

Yes, yes it will. I always thought that was "by design", to promote different choices ^^

 

My feedback for what I'd like to see done for the Steam build of 1.0.10

1.Removal of the following directories and files for the windows build [Assume the inverse request for the Mac build, no windows / Linux artifacts]

• amd64/
• dredmor.app/
• Dungeons of Dreadmor.app/
• x86/
• Dredmor
• Dredmor-amd64
• Dredmor-x86

2. Conversion of all .spr to .xml / .png

3. Run pngout against all the images. http://advsys.net/ken/utils.htm

Doing request 1 and 3, I was able to drop the install size from 226,121,647 to 199,223,932 bytes. (version 1.0.9 overlayed with 1.0.10rc5)
