3.50 stable version released on Steam and for Lifetime members After quite a long period of balancing and wrestling with glitches in the preceeding beta versions we are now ready to tag version 3.50 stable and...
Version 3.50 (stable) is now released on Steam and for Lifetime members.
Here you can find UnReal World Steam page, and the version is also available for lifetimer members at the designated forums section.
Standalone installer versions at the homepage will be put available some days later.

Here are the fixes/additions since 3.50 beta 2:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version: 3.50 (stable) changelog

- added: treat bleeding wounds of your pets and companions

It is now possible to try to stop bleeding of the wounds of your pets and companions. The attempt is started by using physician skill, or opening [F7] wounds screen, when facing a bleeding pet or companion. If bleeding wounds are found you'll be asked whether you wish to try to treat them.
The actual wound to treat is then auto selected based on its severity.

The actual game mechanics of applying physician skills to your pets and companions are the same as treating your own wounds. Herbs can be used in the process, the success or failure messages are the familiar ones, and so on.

- added: crash security to overcome creature and item losses when travelling with companions and watercrafts

There's now extra data save added upon each map load to provide crash security and to minimize certain creature and item loss potential. Previously it was quite often the case that the pets and companions you were travelling with would disappear upon a crash. The same sort of crash related disappearence might also happen to the items you were transporting with a watercraft - including the watercraft. This sort of losses should be history now.
Crashes may naturally lose some progress in the game world, but all the creatures and items should stay intact and be available upon returning to post-crash UnReal World.
Finally, let us remind that force quitting seems to be the most usual type of unexpected UnReal World termination and this addition should not in the least to be taken as an encouragement for safer force quitting.

- balanced & fixed: weight of some clothes

Some were found too heavy, and a few were found too light.
The corrections go as follows (with old weight in parenthesis):

* Woollen tunic - now weighs 4.6 lbs (was 5)

* Nettle cloak - now weighs 2.6 lbs (was 6)
* Woollen cloak - now weighs 5.3 lbs (was 6.5)
* Fur cloak - now weighs 11.5 lbs (was 14)

* Woollen overcoat - now weighs 6.3 lbs (was 5.5)
* Fur overcoat - now weighs 13.5 lbs (was 15)

* Leather leggings - now weighs 6.3 lbs (was 2.9)
* Fur leggings - now weighs 7.4 lbs (was 3.5)

- fixed [rare condition]: all too frequent map maintenance with some old characters

- fixed [rare condition]: sages offering the old style teaching of new ritual for some migrated characters

- fixed: triggered traps sometimes appearing as readied and erect

- fixed [rare condition]: too fast melting of ice in the spring

- fixed: animals tied in place with a rope remaining tied even if the rope was destroyed (eg. by a fire)

- fixed [rare condition]: spiritworld related entries cluttering the data stack and causing misleading hoarding warnings

- fixed: animal pens in the villages appearing too close to the western border

The problem was that your dog might end up located in the village animal pen when entering the village from the west.

- fixed: BUTCHER_CONFIRMATION setup option not checking whether the carcass actually could be skinned

Now the confirmation, if enabled, is asked when applicable only if the carcass actually can be skinned.

- fixed: wounded adventurer quest sometimes generating too lightly wounded adventurers

This made the intended quest giver adventurers not speak about their hardships at all even though
the villagers would hint about it.

- fixed: milk from rams and bulls

Re: Recipes for Raft and Stone Axe require "Rope" but any tying equpment works I understand this is a small, perhaps trivial issue but it seems like it would be easy to fix and it could help someone new to the game better understand crafting recipes.

Wind I think adding wind effects to the simulation would be a great benefit to the game.  This would add to the depth of the world in several ways.

We could have blizzards where high winds would cause low visibility and rapid heat loss, creating deadly conditions.  Weatherlore could help a survivor predict an incoming storm, prompting them to take shelter or at least seek a heavily wooded area.

Stalking prey downwind would be extra challenging because smells drifts toward them.  This might necessitate careful planning of a hunting expedition or the use of a ritual to mask a character's scent.

Strong and especially gusty wind conditions could cause projectiles to veer off course, especially long range shots.  Blowdown could cause trees to uproot and fall.

On the other end dead calm conditions might cause sound to travel extra far, I'm thinking of Sami's whistling arrow shot from the recent video.

Clearly this would be a large effort as it would change many existing systems.

Re: Any way to find lost items? Ok here's my test character moving in the zoomed out map one square at a time:
Code: [Select]
(600060):96gk:["]{076D065B}      | -- moving north
(000000):96gk:[B]{076D065A}      | Bushes
(600060):96gk:["]{076D065A}      | -- moving north
(000000):96gk:[B]{076D0659}      | Bushes
(600060):96gk:["]{076D0659}      | -- moving west
(000000):96gk:[F]{076C0659}      | Field
(600060):96gk:["]{076C0659}      | -- moving south
(000000):96gk:[B]{076C065A}      | Bushes
(600060):96gk:["]{076C065A}      | -- moving east
(3C5A98):96gl:[:]{076D065A}      | It starts to rain.
(000000):96gl:[B]{076D065A}      | Bushes

So it looks like the formula is 4 digits for east-west position then 4 digits for north-south position.  Numbers get larger moving toward the east and south.

It appears to be in hexadecimal so 0123456789ABCDEF.

You should be able to find your stuff by subtracting your current position (north-south and east-west separately) from the position where you see the log entries for killing the squirrel and dropping your things.  That will let you know how many squares you will need to move to find the map location in question.

Lighting torches off of other torches? Currently, torches can only be lit from open fires.  This gets a little annoying if you are conducting protracted activities in caves.  I would think you should be able to light torches off other torches.

First Mod: Seafood Hey all, I'm having a blast modding this game for myself. (Also I'm new to the forums in case I do something dumb.) I have a question and thought I'd share something I'm working on: adding seafood to the coasts. This was inspired by the bee hive mod that made me realize I could simulate a bunch of stuff as 'plants.' The thing I'm most proud of is realizing that the mussel symbiosis of rocky on sea terrain looks pretty cool: mussels litter the rocks along the coast.

Question: Does anyone know if there are different times of the year that ice freezes and unfreezes depending on whether you're in the northern, western, or southern/eastern part of the map? I don't want the seafood to pop up on ice, so I need to make sure most of them only 'sprout' once the ice melts. I tested it today in the north: month 5 was ice-free, month 4 was not. But is that how it works everywhere and each year?

Here's my mod so far:

Re: First Mod: Seafood Today's lesson: Plant Limits. After going on a plant and not-really-a-plant creating spree today (beyond just seafood), I realized there is a limit on the number of plants/new items you can create--thought first I spent about 20 minutes troubleshooting and checking for typos, hah. The create_object file is my new best friend.

So it looks like I need to scale back my ambitions. Sorry "northern clams," you're just going to have to make do as "clams". And now I'm looking askance at arrows, which are taking up nine items slots in the game.

After cutting out a ton of stuff, I think I'll be able to still have all of the following:

Misc: Oyster, Seaweed, Mussels, Clams, Crabs, Snails, Frogs, Iron Slick, Peat Deposit, Clay Bank, Beehive
Berries: Nightshade, Holly, Elderberry, Rose Hips, Mountain Crowberry, Whortleberry, Arctic bramble,
Plants: Carrot, Cabbage, Onion, Deer Moss, Wild Garlic, Wolfsbane, Fennel, Ghost Pipe, Henbane, Mandrake, Hemlock, Clover, Foxglove, Mustard, Sage, Wild Celery

That should be...enough.

Re: First Mod: Seafood If you're looking for realism, you may want to check up whether those things were actually available in the area at the time. Someone corrected me when I thought carrots should be available: apparently they're a recent (historically speaking) import from the much further south (northern Africa?). I have a feeling mustard likewise is a later arrival, and would take a closer look at a number of the others.

Re: First Mod: Seafood As a Dane myself, I can concur that there is quite regional differences between Denmark and Finland as to what grows where. One of the plants I've added myself in my game, has been ramsons, which has a distinct flavor as a spice, since it tastes more or less like garlic.

One thing that always wondered me, and I have no clue about - wouldn't apples have been a natural plant in Finland at these times? As for what I could read, it's been very widespread in Europe even back then.

Very interesting topic by the way :)

Tuning the spirits among interviews and heatwaves Heatwave has struck Finland, and has basically lasted for almost the whole may. While the light and warm summer days has effectively turned my focus to outdoors activities, it's been a bit exhausting as well. Only the nighttime has been somewhat tolerable for coding and of my nightly works the most worthy of mentioning are tweakings of how the spirits get angered or pleased depending on character's actions. There's room for tweaking there, and I've followed the related fair discussions on suggestions section. Most important thing probably is to reason how much different kind of animal kills affect to spirits mood change, but as the system is quite complicated I've also made some groundwork for spirits to actually tell the player why they might be so mad sometimes.

Then, an interesting opportunity to give a deep interview for Chinese gaming media came upon me. The article is now published and you can read it here:
http://www.chuapp.com/article/285323.html

It's in Chinese, so some of you gotta rely on computer translation, but images in the article alone are worth of checking out. Coming up with this took a good slice of my time this month, but I'm happy with it. The approach was fresh, and the questions were interesting and unique.

I wish I could have kept up more frequent update post pace this month, but apparently I failed. One things you should know though is that my plans are to wrap things up as soon as possible for a new release - to offer some essentials additions, and some bugfixes for your summer days.

It's pleasantly cold now so it's time to head to sauna. What else :
