cool
btw @
Frank N. Stein have you thought of another cheat to generate a "batch of slavers" to pick from, by using the ingame slaver offer system ?
some times it's really hard to get some of the more rare races. and having the slaver dice rolling on a button , untill we get one we would like , might work smoother than trying to change they're species when it's not working correctly because of the different code calls.
I can look into doing that or something to the like. As you said, creating an on-demand trigger from pre-existing content wouldn't be hard.
I don't remember if you ever talked about it before, but it may be worth reaching out to bedlam and working with him to completely fix the game. From what I can tell you're much better at dealing with flags/code than the current coder. Nipping the problems in the bud instead of having to fix whatever issues show itself when you make the mod
that would probably raise issues with Bedlam getting shitty over the free release of the backer versions of the game
yeah, bedlam despises frank lol. he also gets notoriously mad when anyone else suggests fixes or ideas for the game
Actually, he's admitted in one of his picarto's that he knew the patreon release would get leaked and doesn't mind much, it's more he hates how people are "ruining the game by cheating".
We haven't gotten along in the past, aye. Granted he doesn't know me as Stein, but it wouldn't be hard for him to put together that the guy Orcm lost his shit on is me.
I've honestly considered offering a hand with jumpstarting the change over to Twine (as at this point I'm extremely familiar with both the game and Twine), but Bedlam's refused such help from professional coders he doesn't have history with, so I'm doubtful he'd accept.
And yeah, as you said, he hates any form of criticism. The minute I make a suggestion he'd tell me to fluff off.
Im hesitating to guess that like any good no haven update, there are more issues that one could guess.
You are good at this game. Nothing's outright broken as far as I can tell, but a few of the tools like corruption and hypnosis are misfiring. Which would be acceptable (both rely on flags that aren't always there) if it was just the odd thing but as it's happening lots I think he changed something that's not in the changelog.
Once I get that sorted out, it shouldn't take me long to release the update.
