    I can see the Linux bins being included so you could pickup the steam copy and move it, but the Mac stuff isn't even complete on the windows side. The two .app folders just have random resources in them, a few .pngs, but none of the required executable. Plus if you have it from steam, you'd just download the Mac build (like I did on my Mac before it blew up)

    Ah, okay. I wasn't aware of that.

    This is actually a technical limitation of Steam. The additional stuff is there for Diggle Gods.

    Also, seriously: are people sufficiently fussed about our install size that we want to brute-force recompress *everything* to save 30 megs? There are more efficient ways of compressing things (converting our SFX to .ogg files comes to mind), and there are definitely larger bottle necks than the PNGs.

    Nobody has complained yet. In an era of 8 gig installs, 225 megs is pretty small.

    I'm gonna guess it's something along the lines of "games can images per platform, but DLC's cannot"

    Well no :) It's just something I noticed when I was poking around in the install directory, based on having a similar conversation about uploading stuff to the tf2 wiki. It's not a big deal, nor did I mean it as a slight against anyone. Plus you only save like 6 megs with brute-forcing the PNGs. The other 24 megs was from removing those extra binaries etc.

    I can't say this is how I expected my run to end.

    The stairs led me to this room, which was itself a secret passage. I threw a thermite bomb at the wall to free myself, but the trap that had already spawned on the opposite side trapped me anyway. I can't find another staircase to go down because of the bug where all down stairs lead to the same up stair.

    Can't you craft or buy some concussion bombs to move the gargoyle ?

    That bug! Argh.

    Like blob said, if you have/can craft concussion bombs, it'll move it out of your way. Bolt of mass destruction might kill you, but it'd work, too...I think. Otherwise, wait until RC6 comes out, which should be any minute now unless you're on mac or linux in which case it'll be "tomorrow".

    Thanks for the suggestions, the concussion bomb did the trick :)

    Would you mind wrapping the expansion <craft />s in a <craftDB></craftDB> tag?

    It's breaking my XML parsers.

    edit

    After fixing this myself I've noticed the expansion wand recipes don't require a burnt out wand. Also there are two identical Mirror Shield recipes. I'd hope one of them was meant to upgrade the Filigreed Silver Shield.

    Make it 12 gigs if you want, just bring it to me :)

    Here's a fun thing to try out! Try seeing what happens when you give yourself negative amounts of magic reflection

    I can't test out the patch on my platform, but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the amount of dedication gaslamp shows it's game and it's communication and response to the community.

    ... I give up. What *does* happen?

    I just tested with -100 reflection and noticed no differences.

    FAXPAX debuffed me with -1 reflection when I had 0 reflection and I reflected a gargoyle acid bolt trap's bolt.

    Perhaps this is intended and I am just misunderstanding.

    And given that magic reflect isn't displayed it might not have been zero.

    I'm going to go try something out.

    Okay I've been trying, and now I can't replicate it. The character must have had some other source of magic reflect.

    Any news on a release? I know you guys want to have it finished but the crashes are just making this game unplayable for me. Even by using the stairs save constantly I still lose huge amounts of progress because it often happens at horrible moments like just after clearing monster zoos etc.

    Or is there at least the chance for a hotfix for the bookcase crash issue any time soon? That in itself would help immensely and at least make it playable.
     
  18. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, because I couldn't find any posts about it in the thread, but I'm having some issues with the new crafting recipes added in the beta patch.

    The recipes for the base game items work fine, but the new recipes for items in the expansion (such as the razor swords and the silver shields) aren't appearing in my list of recipes.

    The recipes are listed in the craftDB file, so I'm not sure what's causing this. No mods installed either, so that can't be it.

    are they hidden recipes? if they are, you have to find the recipe on a bookshelf first before you can craft the item.
     
  20. No, they aren't; they aren't marked as hidden in the craftDB file. :confused:
