HTML Apocalyptic World [v0.59] [ttyrke]

[5mithers]

Save to Disk has always worked for me for many twine games.

It should generate a text file named apocalyptic-world-yearmonthday-hourminutesecond.save, default location is in your downloads folder.

Obviously, one of your blocking apps/etc is the problem here.

Seems like it. It generates the save file. Looks to be a base64 encoded binary blob.

Doing more research, regardless of the number of saves in the game, the save file export seems to be identical every time. (as in checksums identically every time. 1 save, 5 saves, 8 saves. Always identical.

Guessing that is the root of the problem on my end.

OK, finally figured out what my dumbass wasn't understanding with how Twine/Sugarcube deals with this.

Seems that by default Firefox sandboxes local html cache files based on path. So not having saves automatically from one version to the next makes sense.

ALSO, the save to disk/load to disk is a snapshot of states. It is a single save file generated to be loaded as a point-in-time restore. It does not load the save slots back. This is the crucial detail I wasn't understanding.

I tested a few different ways, but this is working "as designed". I was able to prove it out by unzipping a clean copy of the 0.39 game (no packs installed) and "Load from Disk" loading a save from 0.38a without also loading in all the packs. It loaded my save state, and threw errors about the missing packs.

The behavior I was seeing was loading that save state when everything was actually working (where it appeared to do "nothing"). I was expecting it to load the save slots, not the active state at the time the save-to-disk file was generated.

So yeah, ultimately it was in fact PEBKAC. And apparently messing with browser based games should be put on my Murtaugh List.

we need a way to easily change Blair's clothing. she can randomly generate some seriously mismatched outfits.

In the bedroom, when waking up (0.39 update):
Error: <<set>>: bad evaluation: Cannot convert undefined or null to object

Can anyone show how to use custom portraits with 0.39? Also packs are not working for me.

You mean textbox? You just need to paste there full url to the image.
For example:

You must be registered to see the links

And then press "choose"

I always thought the gender of the assailants was randomly generated.

[GamerDaddy]

this is the 0.39 change, until 0.38 there was always the girl present, hu you meet in the club and follow outsaid. must check
the bathroom option, maybe following the girl to bathroom you meet now dude there too. Explore - random fight encouter is changed too - text says " While walking close to the city border three attackers jump out of the corner", its only 2 now and all males, it was random and males and females.
Sorry about my bad engrish.

Not from my experience been playing this since 0.35 and it has always been random between 2 men and a woman or 3 men.

While walking close to the city border three attackers jump out of the corner", its only 2 now and all males, it was random and males and females.

I've had this encounter nearly 30 times never had only 2 men, always had 3 men or 2 men and a woman although out of those I've only had a woman show up with the men 3 times so it's probably only a 10% chance you'll have one show.

Hello!

I am just a fan of the game. But a fan with access to the source code ... (thanks ttyrke)

I feel (at least in part) responsible for things like help-pages, automation rules, settlement management (Info-page, Sex workers-page & Family tree-page)

So for a special assignment this summer (homework?) I'll ask you to check out these parts of the game.

Comments, what's missing, what's need rewrite, good ideas and all kind of feedback accepted....

Thanks and wishes for a good summer!

Weird, i only downloaded 0.39 update, but until 0.38, it was always girl you met in the club and 2 random men, newer 3 men.

Are you sure you're not confusing it with the Uninvited Couple as that one seems to be giving me 2 guys every single time in this version.
ttyrke can you look into this maybe it's just some strange RnG I'm getting or it's a bug.

Short term/immediate implementation:
-Allow basement slaves to be used for nightclub. Basement slaves can be assigned to street, so why not nightclub???
-Chance to find trans when dancing in nightclub, assign to its own content toggle in settings (like gay/lesbian). Add a chance to get 'trapped' if player has low sexual experience and/or low INT or drunk.
-Increase Greenhouse production (right now 1 gardener in greenhouse feeds themselves and 0.9 people... kind of absurd given IRL greenhouse productivity is multiple times that of bare land)

Long term:
-More houses in your village. Let your married guests create their own households. Enclose more land, raise food production. Are you based in a river valley? Lots of defensible land if you protect the entrances.
-More persistence/interactivity/consequences. Did you encounter a woman in the forest and rape her? Well now her angry husband and brother are coming for you. Did you breed Eve during one of your affairs? You and Eve must fool Rodger into believe the kid is his... or face the consequences.
-This ties into a previous post I made on character histories https://f95zone.to/threads/apocalyptic-world-v0-39-ttyrke.137594/post-13149119 (which was liked by ttyrke)
