KeeperFX - Test builds for version 0.4.9

[YourMaster]

Thanks, they will be in the next build.

I’ve been playing this new alpha, loving the ability to multi build, and the ability separate and organise my levels. With almost 900 levels it’s such a nice feature to have them in separate folders so I can navigate to them easier. I know you can just edit ddisk but just saying I like this change.

Something I meant to mention a while ago, is when my graveyard is full I get an warning that creatures can not reach my prison, also I’m playing the game in German only for that very warning to state. Your creature cannot reach the room it needs: gefängnis. So it’s showing both languages this is very odd

[YourMaster]

I just tried and got the message 'Eurer friedhof ist nicht groß genug", which sounds correct to me. Do you have the latest sound files?
And yes, the German translations are not complete, but you're in Luck, Endrix translated some stuff for me and in the next alpha that sentence will be fully german.

[shortmicky]

I get the audio. Sorry I meant the message that falls down.
it is in english and then gefängnis is the prison.


Thanks for letting me know I look forward to it

The Chinese alpha! Brilliant. Credit to everyone still working on this game.

Shout out to JieLeTian for all his Chinese translation work.

Excellent work guys!

The last version crashed in fixed perspective mode. So, as a quick fix, here's the new version: Alpha 2289.

What's new:

• Fixed a one-click crash in fixed perspective mode
• Made sure the translated level names were actually used
• Destiny of the Ninja level 'Secret Ninja' (221) updated to no longer be so annoying
• Maps with multiple textures show them on map screen now
• Mouse -altinput mode no longer goes out of sync
• Slabs are now configured from terrain.cfg
• Added -timer command line option
  -timer : shows a timer that displays how long you've been playing the current level
  -timer continuous : shows the same timer, but does continues the entire campaign
  -timer game: shows the game turns in the timer

It might be needed to delete your save/settings.dat when updating alphas. For example when you notice several controls aren't working as expected.

Hi

I’ve recently noticed that the computer players, regardless of what setting I set them at. Refuse to dig towards the portal.
it’s as if they have to dig to it from the hatchery/lair and if it’s too close to the dungeon heart, or not close enough to either of these rooms it will not dig to it.
next time I notice this I’ll upload a save file. This has only been in this alpha.

[YourMaster]

Good to know, and the tasks of going towards portals is different now. Which maps did you play where you notices such a difference?

[shortmicky]

I can't remember specifically which level, when I come across it again. I'll send the save file.

This one that I've attached, the way it played out, was the Keeper's had no intention of tunnelling towards the portal nearest, instead, the green tunnelling around my dungeon to get the portal to the left of me, the yellow trying the same, and the blue claiming the portal closest to the yellow, maybe in an attempt to get to the gems.
