Bug reports / [3.60 beta-hotfix 2] lighting villager's lumber on fire in the fireplace

« on: September 19, 2019, 03:34:14 PM »

Villagers mind if I [p]ush their lumber into the fire place, but they don't separately mind if I light it on fire and they don't charge me for the damaged goods.

Villagers don't mind if I [t]hrow their lumber into the fireplace, but they do charge me for it, which is fair.

Not bugs / [not a bug, working] [3.60b-hotfix 2] coat color variation,domesticated reindeer

« on: September 19, 2019, 03:21:58 PM »

I confess I don't know anything about coat colour variation in domesticated reindeer, so perhaps it is intentional, but I noticed these reindeer are all the same colour. Perhaps they could come in different shades of grey, like the rams and sheep do.

Solved'n'fixed bug reports / [3.60 beta-hotfix 2] villagers don't cook fish

« on: September 18, 2019, 10:27:08 PM »

I have given everybody (including the children, the sage, the craftsmen, the women, the hunter, the peasant, etc.) in this village a roach, a bream, or a perch. I have spent about 6 days in the village so far - it is right by a lake so I am fishing for myself too. But nobody is doing any cooking.

I know they are neither hunting NPCs nor companions but it is easier to stumble on NPCs in a village and I wanted to see the things I have read about in news.txt

Not bugs / [3.60 beta-hotfix 2] game froze

« on: September 18, 2019, 06:28:03 PM »

I don't know if this is a problem with wine or with the game. I am just outside a village, peeling a tree in a neighbouring tile, so there is a lot of NPC activity around.

Here's the tail of msglog.txt

Code: [Select]

(A80000):q8gb:[!]{01B40362}      | There's a pine blocking your way!

wine is outputting this message periodically, even now since it has frozen:

The game is completely frozen, doesn't react to any key presses, but the window can still be resized. My cpu usage is only at 37% and RAM is only at 35% usage. I am going to have to kill the process,  but before i do that, i will make a tarball of my character directory. Do you want me to send it to you?

« on: September 18, 2019, 03:45:17 PM »

I'm not sure if they're barking at me or at my pig. I'm not even sure if this is a bug -- they don't know me yet, and dogs bark at strangers. anyway, i can provide a save if you want it.

« on: September 17, 2019, 04:26:56 PM »

I have a stack of 3 cords in my inventory of 15ft each. I dry some meat, it asks me how many I want to use 1, 2, or 3. When I select 1, it correctly uses 25 feet of cord. But it should not ask me how many to use anymore.

Solved'n'fixed bug reports / [Fixed - persists in 3.62] [old bug] fence construction

« on: September 17, 2019, 03:01:18 PM »

If you start constructing a fence when you are ready to drop, it places the initial fence on the map, but when you try to continue it after sleep, it demands more wooden stakes. you have to deconstruct it before you can continue. This is an old bug and was present in previous versions.



Also the grid lines show faintly on the ice, even with [MAP_GRID:NO].

Solved'n'fixed bug reports / [Fixed, persists in 3.52] All forest reindeer are does, no stags

« on: November 22, 2018, 11:46:40 AM »

I have been noticing this for a while. Whenever you encounter forest reindeer, use F3 to look at them. There are does and calves but no stags. I haven't seen a single forest reindeer stag since gender was implemented. I have seen both reindeer stags  and does for sale in northern villages.

Also I have never seen a baby hare  but I haven't encountered enough hares to be sure that I just haven't got lucky yet; after all it took me many games to see a single bear cub and it may be the same with hares. But I have encountered hundreds of forest reindeer by now and all of them have been female.

Suggestions / Secret Female Quests

« on: November 02, 2018, 07:56:08 AM »

The only NPCs who give out secret quests (the ones that the whole village doesn't know about) are males: there's the trapping quest, the give me your knife quest, maybe a few others, but always a male.

This means that it's not really worth it to talk to the women in the village at all, because if there's a public quest then anybody can tell you about it, so asking a guy has you covered, and if there's a secret quest then you have to talk to potentially all of the men but you can skip the women.

Sometimes a women can be the quest giver (the take me to your home region quest), but that's a public quest that everybody knows about.

tl;dr: The next time more quests are added, it would be nice if there were some quests that only the female NPCs know about

Not bugs / [discontinued, no bug suspected] water spirits won't come 3.50b2

« on: January 01, 2018, 06:00:40 PM »

I've tried with a few different "base rock" tiles, like the one shown in this image. I've tried being naked and leaving all my stuff on the shore and swimming out to it and I've tried just dropping my whole inventory on my punt at my feet on the one tile. I think both of these methods worked in 3.40 but I tried them both just in case. I tried at a "crag" tile too, which didn't work (but it didn't in 3.40 either).

Am I doing something wrong? Has it changed? Or it's a bug? I can provide a save for this character if needed.

General Discussion / ##urw IRC Chatroom

« on: September 13, 2017, 05:56:29 PM »

This is a migration of the old IRC topic from the old forum. It has some replies there that you may want to read which I won't be copying over.

I made an IRC chatroom. The idea is that it would be open all the time and people could lurk in it and now and then conversation could happen. Rules for conduct would be same as the forums -- don't be mean to each other.

Click here for instructions on how to use URWBot

How to join in:

IRC newbies
Go here: https://web.libera.chat/

Pick a name for yourself (preferrably your forum name so we know who you are, or if not then at least use the same name every time you join the channel)

In the "channels" box, type ##urw

Fill out the captcha and type connect.

The channel is ##urw not #urw because # channels are for official channels maintained by organisations -- so like if Sami wanted to own the channel because it's his game. ## channels are for unofficial groups, like this fan based channel.


Slightly more advanced

Download a program to connect to IRC. There are a lot of these. There's http://www.mirc.com/ for Windows and http://pidgin.im/ which works on windows/mac/linux. There's http://www.irssi.org for those of us who like to live in a terminal window.

You need to connect to libera. there might be some gui feature you could use or there might be a box to type in.

irc.libera.chat
port 6697 for TLS OR port 6667 for plaintext

see https://libera.chat/ for network information).

you might want to set it to autojoin ##urw

you might need to type something like this:

Code: [Select]

/connect irc.libera.chat
/join ##urw

after the first command you get a wall of text welcoming you to libera, after the second you join the channel.


If anyone is using irssi, I'm happy to paste from my .irssi/config if you want autojoin. If you're using something with a gui it probably has a button that'll do that for you.


basic irc commands

you might want to register your name so that nobody else can pretend to be you. type:

Code: [Select]

/msg nickserv register password email@address.com
where password is your new irc password and email@address.com is your real e-mail address.

after that, every time you sign on, you have to type

Code: [Select]

/msg nickserv identify password
(your program can do that automatically for you if you set it up)

you might want to send a private message to someone in the channel. do that by typing

Code: [Select]

/msg nickname hi
sometimes instead of saying something you want to do an action. type this without the space between / and me:

Code: [Select]

/ me catches a fish with a rock
this will display as

Code: [Select]

***Plotinus catches a fish with a rock
if your username is Plotinus, which it is not, because I registered that nickname.

if someone is annoying you, you can ignore them

Code: [Select]

/ignore nickname
if you don't want to ignore them anymore:

Code: [Select]

/unignore nickname
If you want to change your nickname, type this:

Code: [Select]

/nick NewNickName
If you need more help, here's a list of commands:

Code: [Select]

/help
then if you want to know more about a command, for example "away", type:

Code: [Select]

/help away

Rules

1) no spam -- spambots will be banned without warning.
2) don't be mean
2a) don't be racist, homophobic, sexist, etc.
3) off topic chit chat is okay but keep it friendly for all ages.
3a) no one cares what you do with your "spear" when it's not slaying njerpez.
4) if someone is annoying you, use /ignore
5) if you want to share a chatlog elsewhere on the internet because something funny happened, it is polite to ask the participants of the conversation first if that's okay.
5a) nonetheless, this is a public channel that anyone can join, so think about how much private information you want to share about yourself.

More rules can be added as we need them.

Backup channel in case of Netsplits or if Libera gets DDoSed:

Webchat:
Go to this page: http://www.spotchat.org/connect.html
In the box where it says Nickname, type a name you want to use.
In the box where it says Channel, delete #spotchat and type #urw
Then press start!


Using a client:

connect to irc.spotchat.org

once connected, type /join #urw
