OH NOES SCARY FILE EXTENSIONS BETTER HIDE THEM SO PEOPLE DON'T GET INTIMIDATED BY ALL THIS TECHNOLOGY

@OrigamiRobot I believe at some point after Windows NT, Microsoft decided its users were too stupid to handle file names with extensions and that it would be better if Windows kept the extensions out of users hands by hiding them if they were "well known"

Q: Can you find and use artefacts in Dwarf Fortress' Adventure Mode?

I have started playing adventure mode for the first time, after dozens of fortress mode plays. I was wondering if I will find or I could track down some artefacts equipment pieces like a sweet sword, or perhaps a shield. I would imagine myself as a character from Sword Art Online :D

7:17 PM

VICTORY!

Also, dreadnought units are powerful holy crap.

They are also immune to flight damage, which a lot of my units deal.

Arperum

@Wipqozn Took some serious damage there. half of your army is dead.

Wipqozn

@Arperum YEah, it was his dreadnought units.

He had 2 tanks + a flamer. He also had this magic spell which was really strong.

Also the flamer explods when it dies it deals damage to everything around it, which I didn't realize.

Oh, flamers deal area damage too.A lot of it.

Arperum

@Wipqozn I thinkI'm going to start a custom game too. stupid settings probably though.

Wipqozn

Yeah., I'm playing on the asiest difficulty.

Origami Robot

@Wipqozn Do you have to individually control each of those units?

Wipqozn

7:20 PM

@OrigamiRobot Yes.

I like the fact that sieging is so difficult, because it should be.

Arperum

@Wipqozn I'd play on normal, and huge map/ loads of AI's and the like.

GnomeSlice

How do these colours look?

the background colours

Origami Robot

@Wipqozn Ugh, you have way more patience than me.

Wipqozn

I'm just planning to stick to easy for a bit first. Slowly put the difficulty up.

@OrigamiRobot So it woudl seem.

7:22 PM

In fact, I don't like any game where I have to manage more than one person in combat.

Arperum

@GnomeSlice They don't clash, the green on the left is a bit to much fluorescent puke color though.

For my liking anyway.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Then you'd really dislike this game.

well, time to regroup then. I'd like to make an attack on the other player soon.

GnomeSlice

@Arperum colorschemedesigner.com/#2m62pw0w0w0w0 no good?

Arperum

@GnomeSlice It doesn't look bad, I just personally don't like that specific green.

GnomeSlice

@Arperum Alright, thanks.

Probably gonna keep it though.

Unless you have a suggestion?

Q: How is the number of Unicoins gained from mining determined?

I notice that, sometimes, when mining for Unicoins, I'll get several (I've noticed, I think, up to six at once). I'm wondering, is this based on how quickly I click on the rocks, randomly determined, or some other system?

@Krazer Because I didn't do the face art. Doing the best I can with other stuff.

IGS guy likes the font

They had the character art done here

Krazer

@GnomeSlice and the color scheme?

GnomeSlice

@Krazer I came up with that.

Krazer

@GnomeSlice what's your reasoning behind them?

GnomeSlice

@Krazer 'retro' colours. bright pink, blue, green, and yellow. Seems like I was on the money too, because the pixel guy made a short animation and he had a green and blue background very similar to two of the colours I used in mine

8:06 PM

@GnomeSlice more red imo

GnomeSlice

@Krazer It's directly opposite the blue

The green was actually the main colour in my scheme lol

Krazer

@GnomeSlice an orange-red (like fire) would complement your cerulean a bit more imo think Charmander vs Bulbasaur

basically to complement while also getting mike's head to have better contrast

@GnomeSlice Well it's better on the monitor with proper orientation, but still not great. Stupid TN screens

Anyways, wish me luck on making it home, I hear the roads aren't great here.

Krazer

8:30 PM

@GnomeSlice eh either way the details are minor, now about the animation

how you wipe the two colors in works pretty well

GnomeSlice

Krazer

I think you should move the heads in like you do the names but at a faster speed

GnomeSlice

There's no room to move them.

Krazer

@GnomeSlice from off screen, time them so the heads stop moving about the same time as the black line finishes

GnomeSlice

Yeah maybe

Krazer

8:34 PM

well that's that then

GnomeSlice

can't make it much faster than the text

or it will look like it's jumping

the text is like 5 frames before it slows down

er, 7 I think.

Krazer

@GnomeSlice keep the timing. try moving the head in after the color wipe finishes and have the heads start moving as the black line is drawn and stop when the black line completes

you have the feel of speed in the scene but the heads are static

GnomeSlice

They will still be static after a very short animation, no?

I could just make them wobble

Krazer

that's fine too

@GnomeSlice feels like there should be an "&" or "Vs" in the middle

GnomeSlice

@Krazer The IGS guy said no vs. Maybe an and though, but I don't think it really needs it.

Krazer

8:42 PM

@GnomeSlice whatever you prefer, but hold the last bit with the names for a bit longer, enough to say the names 2-3 times at normal speed

GnomeSlice

@Krazer

that didn't turn out well

lol

Krazer

@GnomeSlice lacks vertical motion -- it's like they're swinging on a rocking chair

I'll figure something out

thanks for your input
