You Have To Put The Feedback for the DLC In The Beta Thread

minor diggle - when i go to quit from the main menu, it switches to the RotDG wallpaper instead of staying at the new DLC wallpaper. Intended?

 

Not sure if this was supposed to be fixed but still finding holes in the walls. Here are a couple of captures.

 

Dang!!!!

Just tried to go downstairs from DL1 and crash to desktop.

There's more than just the lobster room.

EDIT: I loaded my save and tried to go down 3 times and always a crash. I zipped up my save and am uploading it here.

 

Me too.

 

Hey little request. Why not constrain the starting equipment for the crafting skills a bit more? I mean, what is a tinkerer supposed to do with 3 N-dimensional lathes, or 3 gold ingots?

 

Several people in IRC have confirmed that acid pools do not hurt the player, but they do hurt monsters.

Also, after a typo, I suggest adding in an Acid Poodle enemy.

 

This doesn't always happen for me. Sometimes the acid pools hurt normally, sometimes they don't.

 

This change will make the caltrop eruptors less of an XP farm and more dangerous:

Found Lionsdens second floor crash. It's the "Benenato's Wardrobe" room on level 2. The wardrobe calls for the "Fabulously Striped Pants" from RotDG.

Nicholas and David, would it be too much to ask to move that room to Expansion 1 along with the Lobster Room?

 

RB you are just motoring.

 

Not familiar with that term in that context. After a quick look at Wikipedia and Urban Dictionary, I'm even more confused. Since you included a smiley, though, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Don't get too excited that I'm solving all your problems, LionsDen. I also caused all your problems. Both rooms were originally from Interior Dredmorating.

 

It's slang from when I was younger, from before the internet . Basically it means that you are really moving. As in fast, quick, with all due speed.

No problem. I do have RotDG now. SkyMuffin kindly gifted it to me on steam. I will be unchecking the RotDG to test out the new RC's so that hopefully I will catch the stuff that is non RotDG specific. You're doing great.

EDIT: Hmmm.... That doesn't appear that it's going to work because even unchecked, all of the files are there for graphics and other things to be found. I will try renaming the directory for when I'm testing and see if that works.

EDIT 2: Yes, that seems to make it work. At least it crashed with the original rooms.xml file.

EDIT 3: Here is the rooms.xml file with both rooms removed from it for other people with no RotDG and can't wait for RC4. Goes into same place as my other post specified.

EDIT 4: Just tried my crashy save and went down and then reloaded and went down again. Did this around 5 or 6 times and no crash with the room deleted. Appears to be working. Also I had my expansion folder renamed to 0 expansion in order to make sure nothing in there could be used.

 

Feedback on clockwork deflector indicated that its current form inflicts some annoying unintended consequences, so this version of the repulsion effect is intended to minimize stuff like blockers getting moved around while the player is using this item.

Code:

<spell name="Clockwork Repulsion" type="target">
  <effect type="damage" crushing="5"/>
  <effect type="knock" amount="2"/>
<anim sprite="sprites/sfx/impact_crushing/impact_crushing" frames="4" framerate="70" centerEffect="1" sfx="metal_drop"/>
  </spell>

 

When you open a door and there was a trap in the right spot, it is obstructed an impossible to see without moving your mouse over it. Considering the new traps, this is a very very bad thing. I can illustrate if anyone needs that, but I suspect most of us have seen this and just not bothered to report it.

Kill it with fire!

 

Just noticed that Vegans can't attack evil clones because they are taxa="Animal"

Perhaps evil clones should be classified as Demon or Other.

 

Someone suggested making them Constructs. I'm inclined to make them Vegetables, for hilarity purposes.

 

I think they should be Others so that the scientist can havest them for goop.

 

I used Rocket Jump to kill a quest monster but killed myself in the process. What happened next was, in this order: I died; I received my quest reward; I teleported; the dying animation looped two more times before it went to the high score screen.

Ideally, dying should stop all further skill effects from happening.

Also, the "Pull!" lever created three ravens on the same square, causing the game to behave a bit oddly.

 

Perhaps I should post this here as well because I'm not sure what exactly you are reading:
Petrification needs a much higher amount of armor (probably around 60 or 70) because it's way too easy to damage monsters inside it when it's meant to not allow a ton of damage to be done during its duration.

And unless there's a pressing issue the Diggle Geologists should probably get Petrification back. It'll troll mages who just nuke the whole zoo.
