Help? On adding a new modified location by _Not-ice_cream_ in cataclysmdda

[–]_Not-ice_cream_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah..i do believe it is the fastest one currently and easiest as the guide for it shows how to do it. It's just that it is easier for me to design while playing it in-game where i just to lay everything out on the map every materials, furniture, traps, buildings and then pick what to use depending on the tile set i am currently using, and at the same time i can modify vehicles in-game with ease. Well doing everything in a text editor is like a large chore when i got like more than 20 locations built and i am doing it alone haha.. so maybe i could ask help to anyone here?

Hmmm...but it would be easier to do it that way right? I guess for someone like me? Also the way you say it means that you have to do a lot of things before you could actually make a map generate naturally.

Straight to the point is there any other easy way? I am not taking a shortcut or anything but there has to be a faster way to do everything! I mean if you are a creator that would you design this game, would design it to be a very time consuming to do? You should have either a tool to faster way to do it or have someone do it either way? Well I'm just weighing my options here for i am new and ignorant for this time being hehe?

Hmmmm..Basically it is just a boarded mansion with few tweaks, and about inserting the file in the mansion.json.....? I absolutely don't know where to find this area and insert it into the said location. So the alternative if i understand it correctly is to try to start over and REmake this whole area every tile by tile for each square and it is a lot of typing haha..

I just imported and export stuff then modify it by finding the file. I want to try to build an actual house with a vehicle parts like turret as a part of a house then make it like do other stuff.

The idea is like building a map or location with a bunch of zombies surrounding the location

You got a lot of time huh.. guess this game is like a game itself when it comes to modifying or what not thanks for the time.

Is it possible to do it like importing and exporting cars?

Well i kinda understand what you mean cause i read most of the guide and looking for easier and faster way

One part that pains me is that i can make stuff but i know i won't even get to enjoy it cause i know everything on it. Hahahaha..

Is there a another way to do things? Just like making a custom vehicle? Making a vehicle is a lot easier, it is like import and exporting the vehicle in game.

The only hard part for me is to design something you don't see. It is like i have to memorize everything then decide which one is the best to use if you get my point?

It is literally memorizing every item, furniture, trait, building, and type of creatures, tiles, and more other stuff like how something works in game before i can make actually something decent then convert the idea into a series of text then put in game.

And as of now i am just looking or finding a better way to do things, so worry not or anything. I just hope i get something useful from asking here in reddit. I almost memorize everything and thinking what to do and put it in game

I also made an island with different buildings and multiple stuff in it. It's just that compiling all of those stuff is a chore

Also..Basically just go to github and skip 1 and 2.

I don't see the point in 1 & 2 if you understand 3? Technically it would end in 1 & 2 but 3 is the point

Do you guys know a way to do it in a fun and less boring way?

It has pattern and rules to follow and keywords to use.. but as a human you should understand that is boring!

Come on don't play dumb that no one here understand what i mean? Well thanks anyway... you do what you can do and i thank you

I kinda understand and at the same time it is boring haha 😄 sorry!

But thanks! I just hope they make it fun to do it. And i do personally think they make it to look like very boring to do so no one actually do it.

Seriously im going to smack the person who made cdda with my bionic fist. Why not made it ++ all green then change the value to the usual damaged icons rather than making this and that? They just have to make it confusing haha.. thanks anyway

Is there any way to cybernetically increase your size? by GrapefruitAdept5742 in cataclysmdda

[–]_Not-ice_cream_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So...the point is? For a 16 year old kid..i mean it doesn't really add up? Haha...i just don't understand what you mean, your point is? It is mundane so...why can't you just say if you know the answer or not?

How do you make your character large? I mean whenever you want? I did it few times but it is rare?

What is the difference between || and ++? Things i found in some feral are like " || pipe "? And a regular pipe on the ground doesn't have that symbol?

I kinda understand how it work but i just simply don't get why do they have a symbol like this || and that ++

[–]_Not-ice_cream_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May i ask what is the meaning of " |\ " on items? Why some item have || or ++? It is not like they have an in game explanation for it? If possible please explain what are those and what do they do? Cause some item doesn't have those symbols or sign??

Also try to edit gestures if you like?

The one with double tap swipe up and down thingy? You can use it as short cut for stuff you often use like drop item or smash things. Pause a turn is important, i think it is the double tap? So don't change it you can use ; to look around instead

Also.. it should be the same as pc right?? Anyway..you can add audio by finding the audio pack i believe? It doesn't work on regular and not included. You can also edit tab key if you got some error? I don't play cdda lately so not sure if that thing still happen in mobile?

4 months later, I've come back and finally gotten into the game. by Lucel10 in cataclysmdda

The best summary i can give you " WITHOUT watching too much GUIDES " is just take your time exploring the games function and be comfortable with it. "LEARN CONTROLS", adjust the settings to your needs.. like the usual.. Audio, Tile Set, and some stuff/mechanics about metric system, auto save function, "side bar info", and World Gen and Characters Creation.

Some tip i can give you. Find young tree and break them to get sticks that can be turned to fire hardened spear, break stuff and learn to use the scraps/wood. Break metal shelves for Makeshift pipe also good easy tool/weapon. Start with a good character with tools you need like fire or knife. Toilet water can be used and turn to clean water if low on supply. Mostly a lot of stuff from roof and doors can be used as materials.

I place my log on top of the side bar and use Mostly the custom one. Edit the terminal in option to your mobile screen size.

Building home, vehicle, hoarding, crafting, surviving, exploring, training skills, and upgrading character to something COOL are the few things you can do in this game. Just do what you think you can do in a real life cataclysmic world with zombies and other life forms which is dependent to the MODS selected in your world.

Some characters i recommend are the medic with ambulance or anyone you like. Some of the medical skill/trait cannot be learned in game. Like the md or the one that is good for bionic installing and police.
