[Gunner-Chan]

Schizophrenia is a lot more threatening of a trait than I initially thought. Sure, it starts off harmless enough, but if you fail to find any Thorazine before the Insanity Storm (when you really start to lose touch with reality and random bits begin appearing everywhere until you get Thorazine), things get bad fast.

Not especially. One of my characters had that happen to her nearly immediately after starting. She survived until I got bored, and those hallucinations lasted for so long I got used to the visual effect and was actually disoriented when they were gone.

Ah, my first death.

Went in a police station, tried to hack the computer to open evidence locker. Set off alarm. Walked out and got acid in my face from a spitter zombie then swarmed by BEARS.

Not sure if they were zombie bears or what, just said bears. I killed one of them with my SMG before the other three ripped me limb from limb.

I had just finally found a backpack too, and an mp3 player to use with all the batteries I had been carrying. At least I died while listening to music.

Damn, the RNG hates you!  Bears are almost always solitary.

It's more or less your fault because you allowed us to have that .

But yeah, back on topic, I've never seen more than one bear. The one bear which mauled me to death because two zombie necromancers were resurrecting him . Shouldn't they affect zombies only?

[Dr. Wierd]

Yeah, it's an effect of the schizophrenia.

Too bad my character thought it was real and still got the negative effects.

[alway]

A few minutes into my first play through, my character is equipped with an alcohol powered laser from his android trait. I was just chased out of a liquor store but made off with a bottle of vodka. I'm now taking shots at zombies as they bash down the door to get at the room I'm at. Shots in 2 meanings of the word.

Yes, they should.  Fixing soon.

Ever see the movie Bug?

That guy ripped his skin open, even though the bugs weren't real!  Just be glad Cataclysm doesn't make you rip your teeth out (or set yourself on fire).

[Gamerlord]

Hey whales, how long do you think until the next version?

[trees]

I like this game because I never thought about what it would be like to be running from a horde of zombies while blind as a bat because my glasses broke while hyped up on cocaine, frantically searching every house I pass for another pair and hallucinating about killing my mother until now.

[AVE]

Hey whales, how long do you think until the next version?

Next version is actually any day when on linux (just resync with git and recompile and viola! - you got the latest version). When on Windows - either use Virtualbox (perfect solution for moderately speedy computer capable of running VBox and supporting other tasks as well) or wait for headswe to update and recompile.

P.S. Whales, I have an urge to somewhat "clean" your sources. Not in terms of fixing errors, but in terms of some "inconsistencies". First thing that springs to mind is newcharacter.cpp. There you have #define TRAIT_CAP 3 and use it only in preset or random generation. But custom generation uses fixed number instead. So, I've made a quick patch:

     else if (points >= traits[cur_trait].points) {
      u->toggle_trait(cur_trait);
      points -= traits[cur_trait].points;


Why I'm making that change? Hmm, the story is simple. A while ago I've committed some patches to the ToME 3 (fixing some bugs in alchemist code, and in ToME 4 he was removed due to being quite OP even in midgame), and their code policy was so nice that I started to use it in my projects. And it helped immensely.

If you like this changes, I can continue the work on reviewing your code and fix the same "inconsistencies" everywhere I can find them.

P.P.S. BTW, Whales, what do you think about moving your items,monsters, recipes, and just everything to the raws, like in DF? Quite hard work, yes, but it pays for itself in the nearest future.

I found 'bank alley'!  Three banks in a nine square area on the map.  Also four more within 5-10 squares of those three.
Financial district, I suppose!

And then ouch, I was dropped to ONE torso HP and chased halfway across town by a spitter zombie and his posse of triffids, before I managed to lead them into a fire I'd started earlier.

The thing that saved me was realising that my motorcycle helmet was slowing me down.
