Brigand: Oaxaca News

Gonna take a break for like a month and try to look for a real-person job. But Warlordocracy will be out of Early Access by New Years, hopefully with Chapter 2 finished.

Updates:

-Updated maps by blocking pointless deadends between buildings (prevents faulty pathfinding).
-Party members will now make immediate turns while moving if direct path is clear (including through doors).
-Updated world Atlas with map of Calim'Shai (done with world maps for now).

Getting fucked up at the local library and fixed a problem where mobiles would spaz out when pathfinding in a corner. The AI pathfinding is still shit, but the mobiles won't spaz out flipping into a bunch of different directions at least. Also, lots of other fixes and main character descriptions.

-Fixed problem from previous patch that stopped water tiles from being animated.

Getting fucked up on vodka and edibles at the Oakland airport and fixing bugs. Then bus to the redwoods where I'm gonna be without internet for 3 days.

Complete list of fixes (thanks to Yograin):

-Fixed bug with Nordus's dog quest where points would reset to 3 (changed "points" command to "pointsUp").

-Fixed selling fish to merchant in Lockdell (period in script instead of comma).
-Default lighting for new maps is now 200 for all RGB colors (not pitch black).
-Fixed bug where top half of description button in shop mode wouldn't work.
-Fixed script bug while bluffing Brayna after the slimedew delivery quest.

-Some characters won't talk to you at night now.
-Updated the Player's and Builder's Manual.
-Improved some dialogue.

There's been an ongoing reported problem of teammates becoming non-sentient (either obtainable or normal objects), along with lots of screenshots and save files, which I have never been able to recreate. So now, I have just put in a cheap-ass quick-fix that tests for all your teammates and makes sure they are type sentient (not normal or obtainable). Also, I fixed that character screen lock bug that would happen 50% of the time if you were on "smooth" game speed. Finally, fixed a couple throwing problems and some PANAMA scripts.

Complete list of fixes:

SOURCE CODE:
-Throwing weapons at cement or metal materials will break the weapon (used to work, then stopped, then fixed).
-Quick fix that automatically sets party members to type sentient (hopefully fixing a bug I was never able to recreate).
-Setting a sentient object to normal will automatically stop animation and destination.
-Fixed bug where character screen would lock up half the time on "smooth" game speed.

SCRIPTS:
-Fixed Gaozhong's final dialogue.
-(PANAMA) Rescuing pirates on Kalfu Farms from carrion demons now grants 3 skill points and +10% respect.
-(PANAMA) Fixed bug where android would still move without animations in Lago Miraflores after being disabled.
-(NIGHTMARE) Fixed Throw Weapon bug causing Strength to increase permanently (leftover throw toggle that I abandoned).

Warlordocracy Early Access has launched. It's only Chapter 1 and the World Editor, but you can import your entire party, inventory, reputations, and respect into the next chapter (or other stories). When the remaining issues are fixed, pathfinding improves, and the chapter is expanded a little, early access will end and the price will increase. So get it now.

Main Issues:

-The pathfinding AI is still shit (order direct routes when you can for now).
-When you recruit multiple characters into your party, it gets a little choppy.
-Plan to improve inventory management, with item dragging mechanics.
-Plan to add another couple of maps and side quests to Chapter 1.

Complete List of Updates:

-Finished Ch.1.
-Now two separate EXEs, one for the world editor.
-Party can now be exported to other stories (or "chapters").

-Added new script boolean to check for party level: "if_partyLvl".
-Fixed bug with "if_objHave" command's optional count parameter.
-Sped up framerate with large parties a little.
-Increased bird movement speed from 2 to 3.
