As I mentioned before, the only way this game will ever be good is when the community inevitably derails the game and makes their own version, eventually making the original dev irrelevant and having them fade away.
That might happen, as long as the couple contributors don't get bored. But they're all for working with Inno and only making minimal changes.
Damn did she really make that excuse? I honestly didn't expect that. I'm not a coder but isn't the framework already done? Lemme know
That was sarcasm, Inno's track record has inspired some people to "hypothesize" on what her next excuse will be. Also no, the framework is nowhere near done. Inno decided to make her own game from scratch based off Java, in other words, Lilith's Throne is kind of a homebrew. She has been "building foundations" since the start, anything and everything is susceptible to being revamped.
I don't think there's a button for NPCs but I might have missed it. Apologies if I did.
// Replace characterViewed with global target if not on its perk screen

<specialPerks/>Likewise. Fuck the discord. That place ranges from so passive aggressive to outright toxic that it makes most of this thread look downright nice. The only time I tried reporting a bug there I got met with so much passive aggressive bullshit that I realized it wasn't worth even looking at as a lurker.
You didn't miss much. Mostly because nothing has changed with the game to give us anything else to talk about.
Now it sounds like it's even worse than I thought, heh. I'll certainly keep chilling on the zone as you suggested earlier.
For larger threads, might want to change your prefs to 100 posts per page to find potential stuff of interest faster (instantly, if you killed all of the default cosmetic bloat and irrelevant queries). As a modder, I'm quite sure you're familiar with things that matter.
I've been talking in general. A lot of games here seem to fall into the endless development hell. Or devs decide to simply not work because they get patreon money either way
This helped me muddle through and get it working. Thank you, as well as Sarkath and Xathech.
Yeah, and I'm also wrapped up in my own projects, so that definitely doesn't help matters. xD
I gave this a quick attempt tonight and things didn't go so well. OpenJDK 1.8 doesn't have JavaFX built-in like Oracle JDK 1.8 does, so it wouldn't even build. The other option would be to target JDK 11/OpenJFX 11, but even then I couldn't convince Maven to bundle OpenJFX into the JAR (and even if I could, the resulting JAR wouldn't work with Java 8, which is still Oracle's recommended version).I'll give it a crack if I have some free time this week. I'm not too familiar with Maven (and the Java build process in general, for that matter), so it'll be a nice learning experience.
I might also try hunting down an older version of OpenJFX (preferably not the java8-openjfx package, since I'd prefer to keep my Java libs in my home directory) and see if I have better luck with that.Any new, interesting finds?
HAHA DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS
Nothing yet. I'm mostly just collecting data at the time being. All of my profiling to date has been on very specific actions, so I'm trying to get an idea of what sort of crazy shit the game does behind the scenes if you play it for, say, an hour straight.
lol yeah
It's kind of hard to justify doing major overhauls when you're trying to work on your own thing and aren't even sure if your contributions will be accepted anyway. My saved game performance patch has been sitting in limbo for almost two months at this point, and that's a very simple (but effective) change. It might be because I'm a new contributor and/or not on Discord, but it's still kind of discouraging.
Remember that these are the features promised to be on her so-called "0.4". It means she had achieved nothing close to the goal by the point 0.3.21 comes out, and whatever she said back then about "0.4 being almost finished" was just straight up lies to shut up all the whines and frustration. At this point it's better to think about this situation as Inno hasn't published "0.4" at all, just another month down the drain since her last post of "I'll publish 0.4 next weekend" or whatever, and we've always been on the regular delay basis the whole time.
Honestly, after a couple years of this shit, I could do a few pages of "remember when she said X but that turned out to be a lie" lines.
