I am really disappointed,I was goin to get all the achievment in the games,then I found that you guys have removed the Deadshot skill tree,leaving the achievment thoug,so now noone can take it…seriously,I am really disappointed on this,please fix it,otherwise I don't buy futures dlc :\
If someone makes a good implementation of Deadshot - I'll bet we can get it into a future expansion and have that achievement re-enabled.
There's a way to enable it to get the achievement, do a search on the forums. And not going to buy DLC because of a Steam achievement? Really? No, really, I am VERY serious here. Realm of the Diggle Gods did wonders for some existing skill trees and brought in new ones, some of which are really awesome (Emomancy is a really cool addition to the Wizardly arsenal and Demonology has one of the most outstanding defensive abilities in the game). And the next DLC, which will be FREE, promises to be stellar due in no small part to the active and talented modding community present here.
Just edit the skillDB.xml file and remove the <flags> element from this skill. The file is in \Steam\steamapps\common\dungeons of dredmor\game Open it in Notepad, or some other plain text editor (not Word or Wordpad). Do a search for "Deadshot" and you'll find this: Code: <skill name="Deadshot" id="12" type="warrior" deprecated="1" achievement="ACHIEVEMENT_DEADSHOT_MASTERY" description="You are less likely to miss, and when you hit you have an increased opportunity to deal terrible wounds."> <art icon="skills/skill_deadshot.png"/> <loadout type="armour" subtype="Spectacles"/> <flags deprecated="1"/> </skill> Delete the <flags deprecated="1"/>. The deprecated="1" in the first line doesn't matter. Then start a new game, take the skill, level it up, then BUY ALL OF THE DLC!
@Tycho: I don't question/argue about is quality (forgive my english btw),but I have played & died enough to see everything on the game & DLC,so now I am more concerned with the achievment hunt (for me achievment are like a sidequest of the game,unlocked when I finish the game) & If I can't have that done,probably I will be too much pissed off about to purchase any related element in the future @Glazed:seems too much trouble for me,I still expect that they fix it & make it working properply,cause I have pay for it
They won't fix it because it's not a bug. To "deprecate" means "to express disapproval of". It's a really old skill that was not good, so it was removed from the game. The only reason it's still there in the XML is so that old save games which were created with that skill wouldn't crash when the skill was removed. There's another, easier way to enable the skill for use. You can edit your "last.txt" file in your save game folder and change one of the numbers to 12 (that's the ID of the Deadshot skill in the XML file.) Then start a new game and use the "Last" button to load the skills from this file. One fo them will be Deadshot.
