Warlordocracy News

Minor patch, mostly just writing Chapter 5 scripts. Here are two screenies of Baskford, the town just north of Jadenbury where you have to build up your forces before the finale.




Complete list of changes:

-Doors in small towns now close when nobody is nearby (not in big cities for performance reasons).
-New optional parameter for "reputation" command to disable messages and sounds (character creation).
-Gaining reputations in character creation no longer shows a notification (much less annoying).
-Updated both manuals, as well as some in-game texts.
-Lots of progress on Ch.5 maps and scripts.

All bombs and some bottled substances (like petrol and spirits) now have death scripts and will get ignited in fire effects. Fire will also destroy wooden items and cook food on the ground.

Sebastius now has a small chance to start fleeing if below 20% health. This gets fixed if he gets laid. Added a couple new commands to deal with this.

Slingshots now have +100% aim for balancing purposes because stones are so heavy. Added one to Ch.4 Blinding Coast map.


Complete list of changes:

-Bombs now have death scripts, and they can be ignited by fire effects.
-Fire now also ignites bottles of substances, including spirits, flashdust, etc.

-New script Boolean: "if_objNameSuff" to check for final word of name (the suffix).

-New alt fire and explosion effects that do not affect parent object.

Made an Easter holiday map and combined it with the Thanksgiving map into a story called Holiday Havoc. It will be up on Patreon tomorrow along with the new Chapter 5 Demo. Also got the Ch.5 Steam page up, and launch will be in early June.

Baddies with scales are no longer resistant to pierce damage, so it's now a good idea to use arrows against snallygasters, raptors, and basilisks. Divided tree types into separate folders (spruce and oak), added new tree types and other nature objects.

Not gonna be too many Warlordocracy updates for the next couple months since I'm mostly just working on Chapter 5 now and figuring out the end-game slides.

This update prevents voice sounds from overlapping on the same character, adds a new readable text about the vaults and relays, and fixes a bunch of little bugs. Will upload a new Ch.5 demo to the Patreon tomorrow.

-New script command: "disableAI" to disable all check scripts for all objects.
