Interesting, I never knew that there was supposed to be a Forge town in Heroes III. I always wondered why there was no mention of the sci-fi part of the universe in Heroes after I had played M&M VII.

I love M&M VII to bits, it's an amazing game. I remember borrowing it from a friend back in the early 2000's and being shit at it and not being able to get off Emerald Island, mostly due to not knowing much English at all. I like M&M VIII as well, even though it's not as good. The dragons are hilariously broken, for example. On the other hand, though; dragon party members.

What is this i49 they keep talking about? I gather it's some sort of convention or game conference, but where and when? All google gives is stuff about US highways.

I work at a science centre over the summer and today I saw a ~13 year old kid with a mullet.

A mullet. One of these.

Truly the world is coming to an end.

Argh! Surgeon Simulator won, I wanted Primordia. I've been looking at that for a while, it looks like an interesting game. Not a lot of point-and-click adventures around these days, and the story seems interesting. I'll wait until the last day, of course, but if it doesn't go on sale I'll probably buy it at the current 40% off price.

I can't find this thread you're referencing, search for dust elysian yields six results, three of which are this thread (Just dust yields hundreds of results). Do you have a link, perchance?

Did anyone poke around in the keystroke-recognition code between the last website version (windoes, SDL) and 0.6 because the game no longer recognizes alt-key characters. Some elaboration: I use a Swedish keyboard layout which has certain keys that cataclysm uses mapped to alt+key combinations. This includes characters such as @ and \, which are mapped to alt + 2 and alt + +, respectively. The current website windows SDL version no longer recognizes these, which makes the game pretty annoying to play since inventory items mapped to those keys are impossible to interact with. The problem cropped up somewhere between 0.6 (Samedi) and the current version, just tested both and Samedi works just fine.

I guess I could just switch keyboard layout when I want to play, but that would be highly annoying.

It sounds like this commit https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/commit/c1f2c34695700cac2759a0816437ede757365eb3 might be problematic, it adds Alt+num handling, but I imagine that would interfere with other methods of character input.  Can you give http://ci.narc.ro/job/Cataclysm-Win32-SDL/109/artifact/cataclysmdda-0.6.zip a try and let me know if that works?  If so that's definitely the issue.  Also that's the latest version before the change, so if my guess is right you can play that one until we get it sorted out.

I filed an issue about this at https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/1994, if you're interested you can follow it thare.

Sorry for taking so long to answer this, has been without internet access for a couple of days.

The build you linked does indeed work, so it seems like you've identified the problem. Thank you!
