Warlordocracy News

Another giant list of bug fixes. Thanks to Caco on Discord for beating Chapter 2. A couple major bugs included using henchmen contracts, using the Move command without interacting, and hitting ESC to cancel get/drop amount prompt. Also replaced the leather armor sprite for male appearance #1, and a ton of other little fixes.

Complete list of changes:

-Fixed Move command (moving over objects without interacting).
-Fixed major bug where contracts would summon henchmen in map corner.
-Added more Autosaves in scripts after completing main quests.
-Replaced player sprite for Male Appearance #1 wearing leather armor.
-Cancelling Defensive Stance now recharges the 20 Meta it costs (but you still need 20 Meta to keep things moddable).
-Escaping from a string input window now returns "-1", which registers as none for Boolean purposes.
-Escaping from get/drop amount input now cancels instead of getting/dropping all items.
-Fixed Ch.2 story file: arbalists with arrows instead of bolts, crossbow up for grabs.
-Fixed major bug in Ch.2 where Keep Basement Door wouldn't unlock (shortcut purposes).
-Fixed bug where Levos in East Market in Ch.2 was player faction.
-Fixed a lot of Ch.2 dialogue bugs (thanks to Caco).
-Fixed some windows not having AI blocks in Ch.2.

Improved the ESC menu so you can now do named saves and access all settings menus. Planning to improve the UI a little bit more in the next patch. Also, thanks to Caco on Discord for reporting a ton of minor bugs that should now be fixed.

Complete list of changes:

-Updated Builder's Manual.

Finally started on the Ch.4 maps, added some more object sprites for desert towns. Should have the store page up this weekend, along with screenies.

Also fixed some bugs, including a rare crash. Party members were eating raw meat and getting sick when Party AI was set to complex. They should only eat raw meat when Party AI is set to Jordan Peterson.


Complete list of changes:

-Chapter 3 maps now use the climateJungle script (more rain).
-Started on Ch.4 maps, which use the climateDesert script (less rain).

-Changed use type of raw meat/fish so party members don't eat it automatically with "Complex" Party AI.

-Fixed bug with party member dialogue after you dismiss them from party.

Done scripting lots of new baddies, items, Sonic Kitchen tracks, and civilian dialogue for Ch.4, and fixed some minor bugs. I am now officially ready to start working on Ch.4 maps.

In honor of RFK, Jr. getting a brain worm from hunting rats with his hawk near a garbage landfill, you can now get inventory pets in Warlordocracy such as a hawk, and use them to kill rodents for dinner.

Right now I just have a black cat and a hawk. You will eventually be able to upgrade your pet to make it an actual fighter.
