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

Does that mean that randomized damage/resistances is delayed for now as well?

 

Brilliant. Admittedly I've never played RotDG because I'm on linux, but this sounds well fun.

 

Is it just me, or is the mushroom proc completely borked now? I haven't gotten Sporification to trigger even once in RC7.

I can conform this. Removing the affectsCorpses="0" from the spell makes it work again.

 

Going up and down stairs still causes a memory leak for me on windows 7 64bit. It is not as severe as it was in 1.0.9.

Every time I go down a set of stairs the program uses 1 to 3 more MB of ram. Every time you go up a stairs the program uses 6 to 8 more MB of ram.

 

New issues with the updated mushroom skill tree in RC7:

• Cannot transmute mud wrens. Every time I try to, my player simply eats it.
• Can't seem to get any of my sporification procs to generate mushrooms. I spent half an hour clearing out the first dungeon level, putting all of my level up points into Fungal Arts to increase the chances...still no new shrooms. Maybe it is just a very low chance? If that's the case and it is actually working right, the game should at least notify you with "you put the _______ in your bag".

 

n-Dimensional Lathe has no value and Brax will not buy it "I aint buying that!"

 

Well since I've been so annoying about it, I wanted to let you know that I tried to reproduce the inverse stat integration buff on the OS X client with many stacks of various necro debuffs over the course of several level ups and was unable to reproduce the bug.

 

Actually, I have found why the n-Dimensional Lathe did not have a price for me. I made a test directory for the updated version and didn't update the shortcut I was using. The Start In directory still pointed to the original 1.0.9 directory so it was still using that one.

After correcting that, the n-Dimensional Lathe has a value and brax will buy it.

Related only because it helped me figure out the shortcute problem, I found that giving yourself two rings to start with from a skill causes interesting effects.

One ring will be equipped at the start, the other ring can be equipped after that, but when you equip it, it also stays in your inventory. You can drop the ring, but it stays in your inventory. If you drop the ring in a different spot, the ring on the ground will disappear and reapear where you tried to drop it again. If you sell the ring in your inventory to brax, the game crashes.

 

FINALLY, OS X!

Thanks!

 

Noooo, spoke too soon about OS X version.

Tried to install, get a crash on launching now.

 

in skillsDB.xml

under Vampire skill it says " <flages nofood="1" />"

Shouldn't that by flags?

 

YAY! OSX build! Hey, the only "dredmor" file I can find looks like a unix executable, while the one I downloaded has an icon. Is that the one I'm supposed to replace?

 

That's interesting. The question is, does it work? The answer is yes. It's always been "flages". At least since RC2, and I've played with Vampirism in RC7 and it works.

 

game/rooms.xml : Line 4673 :: The <trap> element is not self closed.
game/craftDB.xml : Lines 1884-1885 :: Duplicate output at skill level 5 for "Noxious Brimstone Flask"
game/craftDB.xml : Lines 1920-1921 :: Duplicate output at skill level 1 for "Grog"

 

I guess I should have figured that was the problem, since the proc by its nature affects corpses.

I would be the first to admit that I know absolutely jack about coding, so I don't know if this is even possible to do--but it seems like we need a condition under which the proc works on a given corpse once, but thereafter ignores it, even if the proc is triggered again on the same tile.

Of course, another way to do it might be to make the proc consume the corpse (ie, corpse disappears on proc completion), but that would make the Vampire builds unhappy, so it might not be the best thing balance-wise.

 

Just about anything is possible with programming. If you can express every step of the algorithm in words, then it can be programmed. It sounds like targetKillbuff itself needs a rework. It doesn't seem like it should care about corpses at all. It should just be an event that fires when a monster is slain by the player.

Don't forget Fleshsmiths. Skills that have anti-synergy with other skills are undesireable.Then again, we do have Big Game Hunter and Killer Vegan. Try playing with both of those!

Also, the spells that consume corpses are generally ones that target corpses. The effect of Fungal Arts is just a trigger.
