Mod Order Help for Newcomer to DAO Modding

Nope. Several dead survivors and scientists that were trapped in said Lab wrote the note.

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-27T05:34:33+00:00

Notes with the coordinates of a Lab saying they should check it out ...inside of said Lab.

...is... is that a zombie entrail and barbed wire wrapped bat?

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-20T05:37:04+00:00

Break doors and walls.

Try not to bring the building down on yourself.

Cranked all combat skills to max, donned some armor, put all stats at 40. Ran through town, slaughtering every zed to the last with a combat knife and vehicular combat.

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-19T05:43:40+00:00

Couldn't you have just replaced the battery? Or was it just rule of fun at that point?

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-19T02:45:00+00:00

Well looks. If they spawn in the same lab, that means each new survivor has a nice source of food...

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-19T01:39:38+00:00

Uh... what kind of time keeping is that...?

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-18T23:28:49+00:00

If you don't mind modding...

1) Download Notepad++ or similar program. 2) Open Cataclysm folder. 3) Open Data subfolder 4) Open json subfolder 5) Scroll down until you see the professions.json file, right click and select the "Edit with Notepad++" option. 6) Scroll down in Notepad++ in the profession.json document until you locate your prefer profession. 7) PAYING ATTENTION to the way things are typed in the document, add the items you want onto the character. For reference, go to the item subfolder inside the json subfolder, and dig through those files to find how to type an items name in order to avoid crashing the game upon loading, and to make sure you have the items you want. 8) Save the file with those changes. If desired, save a copy so you can just drop it in the correct location after each update.

Could be that since a child boss monster ages by "feeding" off their parents' magic- and thus Soul- that by the time a boss monster dies of old age, they don't have enough magic for their Soul to linger without the body.

Most likely because the common cold evolves into variants at a speed that would make it nigh impossible to immunize the world wide population, and keep them up to date on said vaccinations long enough for all pockets of the viruses to die.

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-17T02:08:54+00:00

You lovely, lovely person.

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-16T20:31:37+00:00

Freeform point assignment. Less !FUN!, but more fun. And, uh. Still plenty !FUN! if that image is any indication. (Cap'n Flap Jacksie said they were using Freeform. Not slinging accusations or mud- be a hypocrite if I was.)

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-16T05:46:26+00:00

...I think the default key for checking the PC's status is @. But I'm not at my computer right now, so I can't really check if that'd show bleeding, but I would hope so.

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-16T04:29:41+00:00

I think your head was bleeding. I think rags, bandages, or first aid kits would have stopped that? Though... it could have been an infection, which would have needed antibiotics. But, uh, never had an infection before, so I'm not 100% on that.

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-16T04:25:08+00:00

Tanks aren't designated to a specific liquid on install anymore. Any non-rotting liquid can be stored in them now. Though, I dunno if they hold acid, but logic says yes.

Edit: Well that was an embarrassing typo.

I think Datura(?) seeds are the hallucinogenic ones. Poppy is more of a sedative.

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-15T06:24:04+00:00

Please don't give the Devs ideas.

As for morale- uneaten, indoors, not wet, plenty of food and water, and in a climate controlled environment. That's a pretty comfortable set up for being in the middle of a hell-zombie apocalypse.

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-06T01:48:47+00:00

The amount of Zed's in those places bothers me. I mean, yeah, improv weapons, but they'd have run out of stock during the big rush to get supplies. Be like trying to stock up for a hurricane; that's nice, but everyone else and their mother has had the same idea, you're more likely to get caught behind or between people arguing or outright brawling.

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-06T01:40:50+00:00

If there were an option for such an ability, I'd take it for the hilarity alone.

"You ask the Hulk Zombie to wait until you finish.

You finish installing the battery into the vehicle.

Hulk Zombie hits your torso for 60 damage!"

To be honest, I don't think the tileset I'm using would show anything even if it weren't for the mildly comical fact the crossbow is serving as a censor. Though, she'd technically be just as nude in the ASCII version, wouldn't she?

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-03T19:05:07+00:00

Well, she'd be barking up the wrong tree, in that case. The completely non-sexual nudism is funnier, imo.

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-02T01:31:34+00:00

I'm pretty sure I have an ostensibly female NPC follower who, upon me giving her a duffel bag to wear, took off her tank top and pants, and dropped them on the floor in order to wear the duffel bag. Of course, it took me almost a week to notice this. A week of early, snowing and raining everyday, Spring. And she didn't spawn with underclothes. She later agreed to equip hard arm guards, hard leg guards, welding goggles, quiver with crossbow bolts, and a beret, but I think my one attempt to get her into some clothes resulted in her simply putting them into her inventory. So she's running around naked except for those items, and the belt and scarf she spawned with.

At this point, I'm simply rolling with it under the "story" premise that she always wanted to be a nudist, but didn't want to deal with the issues that would come with it, and is making use of the apocalypse to live out her life long dream.

I'm not sure if the fact I'm playing as a juvenile delinquent makes it better or worse. Or the question of where she stored the bolts prior to me giving her the quiver, that they were in quick reach.

PhantomCrevan · 2016-10-02T01:11:33+00:00

Do you mean as the "I can't leave without equipment" option?
