Most welcome. I told the user to use a shell script and keep it between updates. I suggested they use
./LilithsThrone*.jar instead, so they wouldn't need to update the shell script with new versions. Java is fine with asterisks like that.It is, yes.
Lilith's Throne is definitely worth going through a couple dozen times if you have never played it before. There is hardly anything like it, although there is some definitely similarities/inspiration drawn from CoC.
I've been saying that the inventory system needs a complete overhaul for about four years now, and there's never been a mention of the inventory during that time. Probably not any plans to touch it within the next decade.
Me too, but I'm more about the enchantments getting an overhaul. Why can't we just enchant multiple of the same item all at once? It wastes my time having to click "Enchant" over and over again.
The only way to actually discard items is to just drop them off somewhere, like in the alleyway or in the middle of the street. They'll be gone right after you move to a next tile. Doesn't work if it's somewhere like Lilaya's.
I used to have a program you could run that would read your save file and let you manage your inventory properly. Did everything you'd want. You could set favorites, delete or sell everything, allowed for mass conversion for dying/enchanting, or cheating stuff like add/removing whatever you wanted. Also let you remove any NPCs.
Regardless of whether it is incompetence, ignorance, or laziness that is causing Inno to go back on her word YET AGAIN, I don't think you can say she has gone back to her old ways because nothing has really changed in the first place. I mean, how much content has been added since the last 3.X update that wasn't a placeholder or originally created by one of the modders who could probably damn well create their own team and game and finish a project faster than Inno can complete Lilith's Throne? Aside from a barren new area (as of 4.1.6, I have yet to play a more recent version after hearing about build instabilities and refuse to comment on those changes) and generic, easily forgettable NPC shopkeepers... has Inno really added anything from 4.0 onwards? The only two things that come to mind is the legendary armpit sex and genuinely decent interactions with Meraxis.
Just to let everyone know, it is open-source, anyone can add to it. Not defending or condemning developer behavior considering it is free, I don't even play games, just remove DRM and fix stuff.
It's not actually open-source, the source is just available. It's not an open source license.
And I'm not fixing a game for free when the developer, who does a fraction of what the other free contributors do, is making a living off their popularity. I'd rather work on my own projects. I'm not going to fund some lazy fuck's life with my work unless they're also giving me a paycheck.License said:
I think it'd be also worth noting how communicative she was during these hiatuses/extended delays. I discovered the game in 2020; did any of those 2018/19 breaks have significant periods of silence? It's been exactly two weeks since we've last heard from her.
Going by the numbers alone, I think the only thing we can take away is that the project is dying. At the rate things are going, by 2023 we'll be getting updates twice a year, if we're lucky.
Hard to really form any conclusions from it without the context of what each update was. And how many updates had place holders. Or how many times the blog was updated with "so I didn't do anything last week." Without knowing how many of those updates after a few weeks/months ended up having everyone respond with "okay, wtf were you doing during that time if this is it?"
Almost all of the long pauses between updates also included long pauses between blog updates.
Merely mentioning, src is available and open for tinkering/modifying/extending.
