Re: [Mod]Balustrades [Ver. 0.1.0] [balustrades]

A node-based method would be doable, it could be placed alongside the stairs, and could have some or all of the nodebox shifted over into the neighboring node, to attach to the balustrade up top.

Re: [Game] Exile v0.4.0b

The water movement isn't exactly faster, but it is more widespread (going all the way to the horizon instead of being centered on the player) and more effective (touching a lot more nodes every time it ticks over than the ABM could afford to) so we had to alter it a bit.

In early versions we ...

Re: [Game] Exile v0.4.0b

Gemedi is one of the cane plants, but it's not the same as cana. Cana is the king of the fibrous plants, because it can be retted and spun into actual thread, which is an uncommon trait.

Look for swampy areas, you should be able to find some cana. You can plant seeds or plant cuttings of cana to ...

Re: How to pitch a vector???

Rotation kinda seems like overkill. If you just want it to pitch up a bit, why not vector.add a small +y component? Or do vector.combine with your target vector to curve it towards the intended angle? Repeated combine actions should turn it closer to the target each time.

Re: New old Feature - Bring back Cloudsetting to disable or enable them

If the inside of the clouds are entirely white then the mod or game author needs to give them a color with transparency. This isn't really something the engine should have to fix IMO, it's a game-specific bug.

Re: [Mod] Handranks [handranks]

Yeah, just bisect your mod list -- disable half the mods, see if the bug is still there, and now you know which half of the mod list the bug's in. Then you disable half that smaller list and check again, until you find the culprit. For 590 mods that'd be 10 tests. Not trivial, but easily doable.

Re: New Feature Hype Thread

That's fine if I want it to be pitch black or something, but not if I want a graphical overlay of, say, translucent gray to only make it difficult to see, not impossible. And anyway, that was an off-the-cuff example, I'm sure we could come up with others.

"Freedom of choice" sounds great, but if I add, say, a cobra whose venomous spit causes a blindness effect that fogs your vision and makes it hard to see, then the engine as-is lets players just cut that feature out of the game at any time by pressing a button, which means the dangerous cobra is now ...

It's defeatist nonsense based on naked ignorance of the long history of successful boycotts, and the bizarre idea that everyone is exactly as bad as everyone else so there's no point in punishing one company's bad behavior because the next company will absolutely do the same thing. I mean, even if ...

Gundu need a good sunny patch for filter-feeding, and a deep dark place to lay eggs. They can die of old age, or very cold weather. Hot weather is not very dangerous to them, being in the water, but ice is a killer.

Re: [mod] Hypertrace

Update: You can now view or edit a node's metadata, and open a view of the node's entire definition.

This means the mod is basically reached its 1.0 version. There are still more features to come, but it's reasonably complete at this point, and will now be listed on ContentDB.
