You'll be in for a very interesting experience. It's crazy how little importance the modern world gives to dreams, considering you spend around 1/3 of your life sleeping. The single most important thing to know if you want to do this is that you need to be able to remember them consistently. Make a habit of remembering your dream as the first thing you do after waking up, and if possible write or type it down with as much detail as you can. You'll eventually start remembering more and you'll begin to realize just how vivid they can get.

About a year of bikeshedding from the DDA devs before I realized that it would never have any sort of progression beyond midgame and that the devs had a completely different design philosophy from what I wanted.

Maybe two months on Nethack. I fucking sucked at it and don't like reading guides.

Entirely too long on the Gearhead games, if they count. I heard those are being worked on again. Neat.

I still play ToME, if that counts. Probably my favorite one at the moment.

Any suggestions? Preferably something post-apocalyptic?

New bowmaster power: ranged poison needle. Costs 20 hp an attempt, but I've never used the real thing to know how effective it is against monsters that aren't the babble. Took three hits (and two misses) to kill this AHMD.

Orc, then a Lair branch of your choice that isn't Slime (assuming you have rElec and rPois, otherwise whichever isn't snake takes priority until you get rElec), then either the rest of the Dungeon if you haven't finished it yet or the other branch

Well it's more an issue about damage rather than food, you can no longer eat poisoned chunks even with rPois. They removed that

Shoals has plenty of edible enemies, but you'll burn through quite a bit of permafood in Snake unless you get lucky with anacondas and salamanders

I meant it in the manner of having to wait out all the fucking poison and regen all the goddamn time would burn through my food moreso.

Bows are good, put some into them but don't go crazy.
>>
>>147187335
Are you training axes? That exec axe should be taking priority. For range, I recommend you find a blowgun and needles. They are effective even if you have literally 0 skill in throwing. Curare is broken against anything that can't resist poison. It'll come handy in shoals. Sadly, you got snake and it's rather useless there.
When going shoals carry a lightning wand with you. The noise it makes when evoked breaks mesmerization.

Blowguns were very heavily nerfed for 0.18

Now you need 8 throwing for them to be as strong as they used to be, and by the time you can comfortably do that they're well in their way to becoming obsolete for anything but certain enemies in Vaults as the whole section of the game where rPois is rare is already over

That one's alright, better than SDA. Ctrl+f plate and look for the runed ones. You cleared Orc so there could be a few.

About 10 map tiles, but they get rare at the edges.

>>147189276
Do axes crosstrain maces? Firestarter is good if you have rF+ to resist the deadly fireballs it creates. The weapon provides more resistance so you don't get yourself killed.
Shoals is very open and firestarter is extremely noisy. You do the math. This becomes manageable later on, when your character can stand being surrounded like in Vaults 5.

Also, SInv is literally worthless for your character until depths. Wear a heavier armour, you can easily accommodate plate or scale. A nice rC scale or MR scale would do you really good.

You don't need SInv. Your more likely going to die from wearing the shitty armour than something you cannot see.

No do not train polearms. Train fighting so you don't get killed by shatter or LRD in depths.

You are missing out on the new NPC questline then.

And that monsters evolve over time. And a lot of Z variety.
Compare:
http://cdda-trunk.estilofusion.com/monsters/species/ZOMBIE
With
http://cdda.estilofusion.com/monsters/species/ZOMBIE

I think the more recent improvements have mainly focused on making adding new stuff easier, and removing old code that does nothing (or is secretly broken). Refactoring of the json files.

For example, a monster was limited before to have only one attack, now they can have several.

So there is some progress. It just is slower than a snail, and not as cute. And has a lot more infections.

Fucking bravo DDA.

(As an aside, I'm fucking sick of the way ammo drops in that game. My hairy fucking ass that a hypermilitarized 2030s America that sells way more armaments on the civilian market than it currently does wouldn't have massive ammo stashes fucking everywhere. Fuck this "20 bullets at a time" bullcrap, the minimum drop should be on the order of 100 and the higher end loot stashes should be on the order of thousands of rounds.)
>>
>>147198134
You can basically use a pistol forever in generic if you kill a zombie in 1-3 shots. Ammo drops of 50-100 are very common and gun basements are a thing too.
>>
>>147198134
I feel like dropping way to much ammo is a balance problem though.
Aside from the obvious silliness of
>attempting to balance DDA

I feel like GG should give you less ammo honestly (since it is so easy to get huge stockpiles when everything fits).
>>
>>147198134
Early on ammo is fine imo
Late game military facilities could have massive ammo caches, though
>>
>>147198305
Yeah, of course, for some reason you never find the 50 rounds of the ammo you can actually use.

At least most guns thankfully spawn with an empty clip.

But I have several dozen guns and the only ammo that matched was for the shotguns.
>>
>>147198749
Shotguns and pistol ammo drops super often. My character that I parked cleared a whole city with a souped up pistol and still has like 500+ rounds for it. All it takes is 100~ rounds and it just becomes self perpetuating as long as you kill zombies.

Good thing you are asking this. When you are ready to open the trove, make sure you have some inventory space (10 slots or more should be fine) to pick up whatever is inside. Once you exit, you can't go back inside. You can just drop some stuff right at the entrance to make room before going in and it pick everything up when you are done.

In theory this means they can rebalance all the crap ones that do nothing or duplicate an item you have five million copies of so they are worth installing.

CBMs are more often than not trap options for a good while, though. Either you'll botch the install, or you'll think the Fusion Blaster CBM is great, or you'll haul the fucker around for ages when the storage space would be better spent on something else.

By the time you can use CBMs intelligently, the game's *already* too easy, except for the special encounters, which CBMs really don't help with. Furthermore, it's yet another symptom of "everything in the game sucks now because Kevin's an ass who wants the game to be a no win situation that progressively gets shittier."

God damnit, I had such high hopes that DDA would turn into a game about rebuilding a few small outposts of civilization against the harshness of the new world. Instead it's just, "Lol, everything sucks forever," which kind of defeats the entire purpose of playing.

It really doesn't.
Z clothing already needed a ton of repairs to be usable. By the time you have the skills for this, you probably have soap and access to a sewer (I think this was changed though) or river.
You can also take your shit off when reading (you know, the fastest way to raise skills after the 2nd day?).
It's a garbage mechanic.
The only good change which came of filthy clothing was that you can't just purify sewage like before.

>>147210740
That is very playstyle specific. Aka, if you start without clothing, this applies a lot less, esp when you wack a few early Z's for your first clothing. (So basically this new mechanic locks out playstyles).

If you do a lot of early game combat, and your early game clothing gets wrecked (or you don't spawn with a certain type of clothing, or need a backpack etc etc) you get the morale penalty.

And even damaged Z clothing can just be used. Or could, now you need to clean it first, or get a morale penalty.

And making soap needs several tools (lye, chemical making 2, (tallow/fat/cooking oil) cooking 3) which might just not be easy to get. And it all takes more time. (Take off dirty clothing, wait for morale to normalize. Get more supplies because food clock, etc).

I'm not really sure what they use as the balancing playstyle, honestly.

With default settings (no hordes, no starting scenario that forces you to hurry like bad day or infected), grinding up to tailoring 3 is easily doable day 1.

With harder settings, zombie clothes are more valuable.

Mark my words, the dirty tag will eventually also be set on rags cut from dirty clothing. As it is not realistic that cutting up clothes cleans them.

Yeah this tree coding problem. And the reality bubble issue. Acid rain only affecting stuff around you. So when you move a lot, suddenly stuff isn't damaged by rain etc.

(currently that of course also doesn't happen, when you move maps around, you can still find food that isn't rotten).

That must be because they're a reference to the Hounds of Tindalos from a Cthulhu mythos short story. It was long since I read it but the gist of it was that they were born from the "angles" of space time while normal life came from its "curves". So they could appear through any "angle", like the ones on a wall. The character who sees them while doing some sort of past life shit covers every single harsh angle on his house so they can't reach him

Same. And there are several possible maps that just kill you with acid rain.

And with the current Z level system it is even more fun. Some tiles (like stairs) cannot have roofs.
>>
>>147214706

Was this not a problem in whales version as well? How did he implement acid rain? Or was it a problem and it was just taken out temporarily because muh realism.

Also rotting food doesn't seem like it'd be hard to implement, just check for food when you load another map section and keep track of how many turns you've been gone for. Then apply rot to the food based on # turns gone. Shouldn't even cause lag, IMO.

Doesn't seem like a hard fix though. Instead of all this realism bullshit they could start working on better Z levels / etc instead.

Devs are so autistic they devote their time to silly details before core game elements, I know RLs are detail-heavy but still.

Personally, I don't mind the bloat and glacial core game development. If someone wants to spearhead something major like Z levels, then that's great, but I don't expect it of them.

The further they stay from the DCSS dev model, the better.

>>
>>147216230
Well, considering there is no design document, no agreement over core game mechanics, nobody who gets paid for making it (or profits from it), no end goal, no clear theme/world, no real permanent devs, it is a wonder it even works.

And while recently it is a buggy mess, and the experimentals break a lot. The core game itself is a lot more stable and a lot less CTD prone than before. And with a lot of the 'new' additions like jsons etc. It is even pretty moddable.

It is silly it even works. A lot of the NPC hackwork is probably still whalecode. And a lot of design decisions made by whale still plague development today.

And a few of whales ideas are hard to implement in the more simulationist game created now. (like the 'make sound, spawn shit, get hit' spawn system).

It is a buggy pile of shit. But it is a huge buggy pile of shit, that works most of the time, and the shit doesnt even taste that bad.

You should mess around the floor a bit early on just so you can kill some early uniques for the great loot that they can drop and get easy exp. After early game I usually just grind wilderness for a bit if you know what I mean to get a boost so I can just head straight down for the boss.

Use inscriptions with "{".
Inscribing @ww on a weapon will make the w key wield that weapon.
If you have a weapon inscribed with that equipped, and another in your inventory inscribed the same way, it will swap between them with ww.

Whats your setup for playing roguelikes, /rlg/?

Do you use a different configuration for your terminal emulator just for roguelikes or do you just use your normal one?

Pretty much the same.
Most roguelikes go in 80x24.
Some 'bands get 80x28.
CDDA gets full screen and reduced fontsize.

What do people think of DF adventure mode? To be honest it looks kind of boring but Fortress Mode is nice (not that it's a roguelike) so I don't know if I'm missing something. It seems bland though.

Stupid article when applied to anything outside of a massive codebase that took hundreds of people and many years to develop. Even dumber when applied to a small hobbiest project, as whether or not the code *exists*, the disorganized and largely uncommented code is fucking unusable.

And unlike Netscape, a fuckton of the systems Whales put in *don't* work in any fashion whatsoever. I'd go so far as to say that the majority of his systems are broken in one way or another, undocumented, and rely on the idiosyncrasies of a single fucking programmer working without a team.

You're seeing a fundamental shift in how the engine is supposed to work. They're trying to move everything from being hardcoded to being .jsons, and it's fucking up everything... due to the legacy code.

Furthermore, there are many assertions in that article that are just fucking wrong in this case. For example:

"The idea that new code is better than old is patently absurd. Old code has been used. It has been tested. Lots of bugs have been found, and they've been fixed."

Factually wrong, in this case.

"Back to that two page function. Yes, I know, it's just a simple function to display a window, but it has grown little hairs and stuff on it and nobody knows why. Well, I'll tell you why: those are bug fixes. One of them fixes that bug that Nancy had when she tried to install the thing on a computer that didn't have Internet Explorer. Another one fixes that bug that occurs in low memory conditions. Another one fixes that bug that occurred when the file is on a floppy disk and the user yanks out the disk in the middle. That LoadLibrary call is ugly but it makes the code work on old versions of Windows 95."

Backwards compatibility does indeed bloat the shit out of further development, and that's why it's not always a good thing. Dude's fetish for legacy systems makes him shit all over a perfectly valid design choice.

This just doesn't apply to this project, or even most commercial ones.

>>147240808
I have never ever seen it work. And seen the 'lets dump all code and start from scratch' thing fail a lot more.

Of course, I'm only one person. So the whole anecdots are not data thing applies.

Size or type of project is totally irrelevant. In my experience, starting from nothing does not work.

>Stupid article when applied to anything outside of a massive codebase that took hundreds of people

Cataclysm has had over a hundered of people adding code, and is a massive codebase.

> Factually wrong, in this case

In this case a lot of the old whale code gets ripped out when people are fixing it. The bad code. And what I think you mean the 'factually wrong' in this case

And you see it currently a lot. While trying to refactor CDDA a lot of the old code that gets ripped out is actually a bug fix or a hack. That is why features continue to break in the newest experimentals. So the new code is not the good code, and the old ugly code did contain bugfixes. Just like joel described.
> perfectly valid design choice

In most cases it isn't a perfectly valid design choice.

And joel didn't even discuss the effect 'starting over' has on developers. Who really love doing the same thing once again, but just a little bit different.

As im sure the people who translate are going to love having to ask for the same bugfixes all over again. Etc.

Starting from nothing again is a big mistake.

But yeah, for which commerial projects and non commercial projects has it ever worked? starting over? And for how many has it failed? Starting over is a stupid idea. You don't know how much foundation you had until you have to build it from nothing again.
>>
>>147241269
But three years ago there already was a sperglord in CDDA who implemented z levels. (But he refused to work with the rest of the team).

So CDDA did it before cata2 did it.

My project is a specchul snowflake project, this time it will work.

Throw out all the bathwater, and the children!
>>
>>147241710
honestly when you look at Cata2 it took whales 6 months to create a map generating algorithm that is quite frankly beautiful and rivals URR ( on a very very small scale) instead of the fucking hack that is implemented right now in DDA, where the map has no limits and spawns are hardcoded.

>>147241859
DDA's "z levels" are a thing right now.
Before coolthulu came by Z levels were just a really ugly hack like the downstairs hack.
>>
>>147242010
The bathwater is tainted and the children have Downs'. No great loss.
>>
>>147241989
Starting over and creating a different game, matey.

"fuck, a 3d opengl game sucks. I'm going ascii"

That isn't the fucking same as going "Fuck a 3d game sucks. im going to do it again". Apples and oranges.
>>
>>147242153
Here's the thing: DDA is so goddamn unfocused, overambitious, and lacking in direction that any attempt at starting over would be fundamentally different in gameplay and codebase.

So I don't really see a qualitative difference there.

which is why we should ditch DDA and use Cata2 as a codebase.

MOTD, very fucking true.
The wast amount of bloat-devs that are mostly oriented around making stupid stuff rather than fixing the game is whats detrimental in this whole story.
Maybe im insane but fixing bugs is the main thing of every development. When you fix enough, you get the joy to add new fun stuff. Repeat.

How can Granade stand DDA in this state? If it was me i would be ashamed.

New Infra Arcana version is out:
https://github.com/martin-tornqvist/ia/releases/tag/v18.2
Some nice changes:
>All backgrounds (classes) now have ranged attack bonus vs unaware targets (not just Rogues)
>Removed the "R" command to rearrange rounds between pistol magazines - this is now instead done when you wait (with "5", "s", or ".")
>Slightly reduced the number of Medical Bag supplies
>Critically failing a melee attack can no longer result in dropping the weapon
>When picking traits, the game now shows all traits and their prerequisites (no information is hidden)
>When aiming explosives, the explosion size is marked on the map

Some not-so-nice changes:
>You no longer drop your items when you die
>Messages are no longer written in all capitals while Frenzied

>>147254684
>>147258357
Get the spirit shield amulet. They're extremely potent for gargoyles, and that one has slaying and rC. Make sure you train some evocations so that you can have 30 or so MP. Probably the best amulet possible for a gargoyle.

rC is among the least important resistances. You could probably manage with pots of resistance for the very few cases where it's needed, specially since you've already covered most of the imporant resistances just by being a gargoyle with firestarter

>>147258706
You should be able to get by without it now. Atleast if you play carefully. You should be doing a lot of hitting and running to seperate packs.

>>147258942
You should have like 18 MP just from minimal evocations and leveling. Get your evo up and pickup a phial/fan/lamp.

>>147258769
Not as important, but you don't spurn it if you can get it. spirit shield + easy coverage >>> another pip of rN + 4 AC/EV.

Its more for simulacra, ice dragons and ice giants. They have the potential to hit you for like 60~70 without rC, which is not what you want.

If we assume a thing cannot be like itself (to prevent infinite looping), then Rogue is not a roguelike.
However, since Rogue is not a roguelike, but it is like a roguelike, Rogue is therefore a roguelikelike.

It's usually okay as long as you don't outright say you're not going to read the pasta since we can tell you everything. That's classified as "being an asshole"

The magic of open source gaming is that you can change things you don't like.
I'm pretty sure the only people who might think its cheating for you to change XP values are autists and Chris.
It's pretty much unanimously agreed that XP modifiers in PCB are stupid.

Personally I'd say they're way too low.
All should be boosted by 200-300 points.
In my opinion it's a shit game unless you have to grind for at least 50 hours to get to level 50.
Also enemies that drain shitloads of xp permanently should be added.

Let's see if I can melee the serpent like this.
>>
>>147267048
That's actually not a bad idea.
Also The Serpent should be able to delete root files.
>>
>>147267114
my CAO and CDO are different at the very least

oddly enough the speeds are roughly the same so CDO will do

CDO is probably fast because no one plays it.
I thought it was console only though.
>>
>>147267483
nope, it's had webtiles for a couple years now

and yeah that's probably the case

Equip shields and rings and gloves so that you actually have resistances and AC.
And of course you need *Healing*, have you never played Angband?
>>
>>147268168
>so that you actually have resistances and AC.
the ring of power gives *AcElFiCo which stops the serpent's auras
>And of course you need *Healing*, have you never played Angband?
At this rate, I don't think anyone should.
>>
>>147268278
It doesn't stop the Serpent's toxic waste breath, rockets, or any of the damage of its summons though.
You still need AC because a level 100 unique with 2x22d10 earthquaking+10d12 damage and hunger drain is going to annihilate you.
just use ^Ac to make your potions.

none of that happened though.

I simply tried to get the highest amount of firepower on a dude.

I probably should go demigod of ares munchkin mauler with grond and crown of morgoth, one ring and PDSM now.
>>
>>147268997
use bladeturner, not a regular pdsm

Weird.
