Bay 12 Games Forum

I posted this on the forums, but strangely, this thread is more active. I'm compiling on a mac, and it used to work just fine. Can anyone tell me what I need to change to get this to compile properly? Gunin, I'll find a way to get a compiled version over to you if it works.

g++    -O3 -m32 -c item.cpp -o obj/item.o
item.cpp: In member function ‘std::string item::info(bool)’:

That was just an example, could be travelling to find halberds or those obsidian saw swords from central america (name eludes me).

Macuahuitl.

You know what? That's it. I've had it with this *masterwork katana* bullshit. Dinky pinky kitchen knives get shafted too often in the D20 system, and it's time they got the respect they deserved.

Ask me for example. I've been practicing with a teeny - meeny knife for 21 years, and it can cut through blocks of sheer butter.

Fresh from the fridge, or so you have to warm it up lightly? I once cut through 2 layers of bread, 1 of bacon, cheese and lettuce with a kitchen knife, like a baus.

Complexity for the overly complex, occasionally unnecessary and generally over-verbose complexity god!

I've still only played a little, but as a pure HA player, aircraft are fucking terrifying. I've sparred, one on one with tanks, taking shots at side and rear armour until one of us has to retreat. I can pop a player with the base gun (not enough certs for anything better, I keep spending them on survival upgrades) without too much trouble, but when an aircraft rolls over head, I hide and pray that they didn't see me. I don't run for the AA turrets, because they're a giant stationary target that appear to be easily taken out by the very aircraft they're designed to destroy. Just keep my head down, and eventually the aircraft will fly away.

Damnit. I watch the forum all day, and just when I decide to watch a movie, there's activity?

Man of paper, a couple of things you and URR have mentioned have brought up something I want to ask. If commissions and requests exist, it would make sense to include it in the same vein as trades. For personal scale, legal trades, a local market would be a place to deal in both items and promises (Commission a local blacksmith to construct armour for you and half a dozen good men in return for partial prepayment), personal scale, illegal trades could be carried out at either a location in-city or at a local black market or dive bar located in a dungeon or ruin (organised murders to improve your position, following someone to an illegal sanctuary to hold over them as blackmail, illegal drugs and other shady deals). Larger scale deals would generally require meeting someone much higher up the chain, or making a variety of smaller deals, like visiting a local lord for a militay commission, gathering an alliance of merchants to peddle your war loot, or meeting a tribal chieftain to gather promised support for an upcoming campaign.

I don't see that any of these need specialised interfaces, honestly. It seems to me that the basic structure of Give/Promise A in return for Give/Promise B would work neatly for everything, and provide a vast scope for trading, wheeling and dealing. Even better if you can namedrop other people to bolster your petition ("The clans of Anglia, Gallaway and Fife have already pledged their swords and pastures to our victory", or "I have received a commission and early payment from The Regent for one thousand swords, although I understand if his gold isn't good enough). The red words denote names and agreements (I think "contract" is probably the best catch-all term) that you've already made. Such a system would also mke it easy to keep track of contracts via an information screen, perhaps with tabs for military, economic and other types of contract, and also, of course, the person or group with whom the contract was made.

Hmm. Is it possible to set up a joystick alongside my mouse, so that when I get into an aircraft I can switch to stick for easie piloting? I suck at piloting with the mouse.
