Brigand: Oaxaca News

The Brigand prequel DLC set in Texas is still in the works. The dude is still alive. I played the first two hours and it was a masterpiece, profits will go to the creator.

Meanwhile, feel free to make your own stories in the World Editor and sell them independently on itch.io or something, collect all the profit. Just include a link to the Brigand store page so they gotta buy my shit first, then everybody wins. You can play the MOD TUTOR story in the Extras DLC to get started with the Brigand Scripting Language (BSL files).

I plan on doing one more patch after New Years to update the copyright date and improve a couple things. Until then I'm gonna crunch on Warlordocracy and finish it by the end of summer vacation (August is the goal).

Screenshots for upcoming DLC:

Worked on the desert biome for the "mapRandom" script command, finished some new monster scripts, including immobile mantrap plants, fangworms that can only move through sand, and pyropedes that ignite fires. The new baddies can spawned with the world editor or in the desert biome of random maps. Also further divided the "animal" category of mobiles to "mammal", "bird", "reptile", and "fish". Eventually there's gonna be some magic or something to control each of those categories.

Complete list of updates:

-Fixed crocodile and wasp attack animations.
-Fixed bug from previous patch with drawing party destination X's.
-Divided the species "animal" into "mammal", "reptile", and "bird".
-Finished baddie scripts: fangworm (sand only), mantrap (immobile), pyropede (not in Ch.1).
-New property and script command: "objMobNoInv" to prevent animals, etc. from having inventories.
-Added new commands: "mapSand", "mapSand5x5", "mapSandAll" to make sand tiles.
-Mobiles with "objMobAquatic" set to 2 are only able to travel on sand tiles.
-Increased all ranged attack accuracy by +5% (to make bows more useful).
-Included desert biome in "mapRandom" script command (unfinished).
-Changed mobile animation speed based on movement speed.

Mostly I added a new script command, "factionChange", which can change the faction of every non-sentient object on the map of one faction to another faction, so after one faction takes over a city, all the obtainable objects, doors, etc. of one faction will switch to a new one. Now you gotta loot before the new faction rolls in. Also, lots of little dialogue consistency fixes thanks to mmD on Steam.

Tomorrow I'm gonna make the jungle map in BATTLES DLC slightly more possible (for v11.7B). Gotta sleep first.


Complete list of fixes:

SOURCE CODE:
-Increased all font size options by 1 point (I think, inconsistent on different computers).
-Added new script command: "factionAll" to change faction of all non-sentient objects from first string to second string.
-Added message in key settings telling player to hold jump key to jump longer.

SCRIPTS:
-Fixed terminal hacking script for FORTRESS story.
-Fixed dialogue with Running Feet and Jose after Pochutla siege is over (added new ASK keyword).
-All non-sentient objects in Pochutla and Loma Larga now change factions after the siege of Pochutla (using new command).
-Player is now forbidden from using beds on the plantation when it is on fire (don't TOUCH ME I'm a real live wire).
-Adjusted Humvee destination on South of Pochutla map a bit so it's not over a cactus.
-BATTLES: Added terminal hacking script for Loma Larga map in BATTLES DLC, included a couple emails.

Improved framerate some more, plus a few new items, tweaks, and bug fixes.
