A VERY Experimental REV 32C

Revision 32C is now in the experimental branch. So, basically REV 33 this week is waiting on me finishing the economy stuff (because I am slow), and a little bit of polish on Vicars (because why not) So you will find a bunch of broken workshop stuff that I'm trying to clean up, and a few other goodies.

Engine
enormous rewrite of the entire renderer:

• rewrite of all shaders for Core OpenGL 3.2 (for Mac Port)
  
• improved rendering performance (because why not?)
• NOTE: AZDO is probably totally hooped right now, you should turn it OFF.

Characters
FIXED: drop tool / drink beverage loop (yes, again)
added Vicar dispatch event
added Vicar replacement event
added upper class arrival/death alerts & prestige gains/losses
ALL lower class textures made grubbier
characters slightly smarter about running away
character will return to civilization if they find themselves not in civilization
characters will flee toward civilization if an enemy is nearby (but not too near) and character is not in civilization
FIXED: colonists will no longer gossip with other colonists tagged with "frontier justice"
added more names
balance: eldritch transformation made slightly more difficult to "achieve"
FIXED: colonists no longer walk really, really far to butcher things (unless ordered)

Animals
added pack hunting behaviours
added more sophisticated fleeing
FIXED: snail walked backwards
carnivores can "butcher" corpses and eat meat

Combat
FIXED: fishpeople freezing up on ranged attacks
added AoE attack to blunderbuss
added Bandits & Bandit attack event

• Bandits will spawn in camps
• Bandits will steal your stuff
• Bandits are bad people

balance: reduced fishpeople attack frequency & size
balance: made characters more willing to fight if in civilization
balance: made all combatants less interested in attacking fleeing enemies
soldiers will fight harder near their squad rally point, will retreat to rally points (if available)
balance: landmines made more damaging

Terrain
FIXED: spawning of swamp forests (giant horsetail, bamboo)
overhauled giant horsetail model
FIXED: oreNode job cancellation doesn't shut off orenode forever
improved water shader
new lingonberry & saskatoonberry models

Buildings/Workshops
added Chapel building (building a chapel will trigger a Vicar dispatch event)
added a set of Chapel modules to construct
Kitchen can make pumpkin pie
added carpets as constructible modules

UI
increased size of workshop panel
added various controls to workshop job queue, which don't work yet
FIXED: colonists killed by fishpeople creating alert that says they were killed by murderers
FIXED: upper class door displayed resource cost
added icons for chapel modules
added icons for lots of decor modules

FIXED: checked every ticket icon, fixed some broken ones
Buildings/Workshops

 

(slipping a tiny fix in here in a few minutes for JOB INTERRUPTIONS which are BROKEN. Hooray!)

 

Give it a whirl on the Mac. you're probably missing a few graphical things, but hopefully it works (and if not, at least I know that it's the fault of the Steam packaging tools.)

 

We had a Discussion about this and have probably tracked it down. Working on fixing it in most common cases now.

 

Probably related to the total horrible OpenGL rewrite for OS X. What's your video card, and do you have the latest drivers?

 

Yeah. Basically, the workshop panel stuff got thrown in, and we fixed a bunch of Vicar issues.
