Warlordocracy News

Been working on the central encyclopedia so that each separate object doesn't have to repeat the description in the save files. Also a great way to organize information. So far there are 426 entries (species, characters, items, etc.). Entries are now also displayed on character screen.

Two new abilities. The Analyze Character ability reveals stat screen of target character. The Leadership ability makes all party members besides the user Focused and Inspired. Also, two new status effects: Inspired, and Resist Pierce.



Complete list of changes:

-Added status effects: Inspired, Resist Pierce.
-Added abilities: Analyze Character, Leadership.
-Confused status effect now prevents characters from using abilities.
-Looms now let you craft with fabrics using the Naturalism ability (and only looms).
-Encyclopedia searches now automatically remove articles and "bottle of" prefixes to entry titles.
-New achievement script commands: "achieveTag", "achieveName", and "achieveDesc".
-Changed "steam" script command to "achieve" and added in-game achievement list.
-New objects: dungeonB3+4 (catacomb inlets), doorAncient (Hargate), sarcophagus.
-Character screen now displays encyclopedia entry and equipped item.
-Improved lots of encyclopedia entries, added main characters.
-Updated Player's and Builder's Manual.
-Fixed Pocket Sand ability script.

Made it so you can give items to party members using the drop command. Also fixed a MAJOR bug from back in v8.0 that fucked up party positions when travelling to new maps (thanks to Utnapishtim just now). Lots of other little fixes.

Complete list of changes:

-Dropping an item on a party member now gives it to them (tooltip now "Drop/Give").
-Inventory and character windows don't show unless you also have a character selected.
-New script command: "objMobCharScreen" to show full character screen of current mobile object.
-New script command: "storyDemo" to delete all maps after given map ID (to easily make demo versions).
-Command resets to Interact after using abilities or dropping items (so you can see the game messages).
-Fixed bug with leftover text after closing character screen, removed arrow buttons if character is not in party.
-Fixed bug where changing volume in journal settings wouldn't immediately change volume.
-Fixed major bug with "objPos" command fucking up object positions when changing maps.
-"ObjMobPlayer" script command must now be set to 0 or 1 (0 cancels player).
-Added inventory load info to character screen.
-Added dog bark sounds to AI script.
-Updated Chapter 2 Demo.

There is now a character info screen that lets you cycle through all the party members and see all their stats and inventory at once. Also, all object descriptions are condensed into an encyclopedia to keep save files smaller, and you can look up key words now from the journal settings. I'll improve encyclopedia interface later. You can also adjust the HUD transparency now, and lots of other little fixes.

Improved pathfinding a bit, especially around doors. You can now throw empty bottles just like stones, vases, and plates. Lots of other little fixes.

Warlordocracy will be 33% off tomorrow for Steam Strategy fest.

Will work on pathfinding more after Chapter 2. It doesn't help that interiors are on the same map so you can shoot out windows, because fuck Elder Scrolls where windows don't exist.
