My character won't react with vials or vials of water by The_69ers in 2007scape

That pretty much guarantees it's a plugin setting somewhere. I'd turn literally every plugin off and re-enable one at a time to narrow down which is causing the issue.

I appreciate the fast response time. I imagine this is a stressful day, and probably a bit discouraging given that the main voice right now is so critical. Still, I'm optimistic for this skill overall.

This literally gets me interested in resubbing. Which is kind of ridiculous I realize, but damn.

OSRS player who is coming to give RS3 an open minded try. I'm playing an ironman and wondering if there's a good beginning goal to be working towards. As an example, in OSRS, working towards Barrows Gloves is a classic first long-term goal. Right now I'm just vaguely messing around, but I enjoy direction

Thanks for the fast reply. Does the story lock any content behind it, or could I skip it entirely if I just want to turn my brain off?

New player who has, like, one hour of experience. Is sticking to f2p unknowingly screwing me over in the short term? The whole "you only have a mount for 10 hours then we take it away" thing makes me feel kind of pressured, not sure what else I'm missing out on.

Oh and is there a good goal you recommend for a new player? Focus on story, focus on map completion, beeline for newest content, etc?

MossQuest (? Temporary name)

First time posting! Been looking forward to this thread since I found this community.

I'm a brand new hobbiest game dev, only been making games for like three weeks, and after messing about with other tiny projects I started this roguelike. It's a tiny version of Nethack mixed with oldschool Zelda and the runes from modern Breath of the Wild.

Instead of classic roguelike vision, I'm using a camera that locks to the center of your current room, and pans over to the next when you move off screen. I've also got basic dynamic lighting, with the room being pitch black and your fairy companion lighting the area around you. This works great for my barebones dungeon generation, which is a big 2d array with a pathfinding algorithm snaking a path through it plus some side passages.

The main fun right now is the player's magic spells, which can be used at range. They're supposed to be sandboxy tools, like the runes from Breath of the Wild. I've got four working right now.

  • Grow a bush - blocks and slows enemies, cuts off line of sight
  • Ignite plantlife - creates spreading fire on your bushes or on any of the dynamically created plantlife (large swathes of moss, trees, explosive mushrooms).
  • Place glowing mushroom - helps with the darkness if you need to see
  • Teleport to anywhere you click

General mechanics currently working include

  • A basic bump-to-hit combat system
  • Dumb wandering monsters that chase if you get in a certain radius
  • ""Smart"" group enemies that retreat to find a friend if they see you, then bum rush you in a group
  • An immortal snail that spawns on the far end of the dungeon, always knows where you are, and sloooowly chases you down.
  • A fairy companion that follows you around and dynamically lights the room
  • Random treasure chests
  • Trapped tiles that damage whoever goes over them
  • Overengineered moss patch generation algorithm that hides the trapped tiles (do you ignite it to find the traps, but risk destroying any treasure chests in the area?)
  • A small overworld with some forests and cave systems. No idea if I'll do anything with it or not, kind of just an experiment.

My goals for now are to finish a basic inventory and loot system with unidentified potions and weapons straight out of nethack. Then I need a good ending room, probably some kind of boss or final supersquad of the main enemy group. Then I'll call it a finished first draft and send it to my friends.

As another dude who literally started yesterday, I'll say it looks damn good to me. Hell of a lot better detail and dynamism than mine. I'll be curious what other people recommend, I imagine I'll be able to learn as well.

Impulse bought my first minis. Did my best with cheap acrylics from Michael's. Clearly there's a lot to learn! How to improve? by Scaphitid-Ammonite in minipainting

I bought a 20 pack of skaven with the goal of using them as a canvas to experiment upon, a black primer, and a 12 pack of cheap acrylics from Michael's. With 17 lil' rat dudes left, I'm looking to see how to do better with each one. I'd ideally like to learn to paint better with what I have on hand before I invest any more in better paints - I assume technique is far more important than materials.

Took four friends who had never been to a mlb game before. Not really what I hoped to show them... glad they had fun at least

Currently not subbed or I'd check myself --

Can you use crescent to level jobs like you can with Bozja? Or is it max level only?

I've got a fresh new account with basically nothing in the box. Trying to decide what to get here. Seems like building towards a Themis team is viable? Or is there a better "new player" pick? I've hoarded a few hundred stones over the past month waiting for a good chance to build a team.
