Solved'n'fixed bug reports / Re: teleported to field

« on: July 14, 2024, 07:21:40 PM »

Hmm. So it's a crash related teleport. At first I'd thought the crash was a result of some overflow, which then corrupted the character coordinates as well.
In cases like this is always best to .zip up the character folder after the incident, so that it can be checked out.
Now I don't know how long you've played after this incident, but in any case if your character happens to be nearby the said village could you .zip up the folder an e-mail it over to me?

I have been "playing" that game for over 20 years. Actually, it's a tutorial, not a game, because in the game you have to get some kind of win, etc.

Actually, and really, of course it is a game.
Game, be it electronic or physical, is often defined as an activity described by a set of rules, especially for the purpose of entertainment. Winning is optional in many games. And well, a computer game is then a game played using a computer.

I managed to die in the game. It is okay. I will try to repeat the same if possible.
Now in the new game I took 2 old owl men on a hunting trip. I shot another with a bow, but the men did not react. I shot again, and one attacked the other, and they continued to fight each other, even though I shot both (they didn't attack me), until they died.
These actions may seem cruel, but deviant actions are one way to find out strange problems.

I suspect there is something wrong with the game timing.
I came from the sea to the land in the Driik area, and I noticed (it was seed time) that the autumn plants were already ready. When I returned to the boat, the food there (dried and smoked fish) had spoiled.

Suggestions / Re: Ability to know language?

« on: July 12, 2024, 12:51:21 PM »

I would have thought that everyone in the game simply speaks Finnish (translated to English for the convenience of us players). CMIIW?

Another new idea: clothes and wisdom.
- Nowadays, it is easy to kill a guy who went hunting etc. as a friend, and take his things, and exchange them for other things, for example in his own village. So the problem is that today the villagers don't recognize their friend's clothes.
- Wisdom could be added to the villagers' dialogues. Insofar as, for example, there is more than one person saved from the claws of the beast, whose belongings would have to be picked up, there would be a short piece of wisdom for everyone to share.
It would be nice to be able to ask old people for teachable wisdom as well.
- But the language... would mean that the conversation with the njerpez would be in Russian? Well, if someone wants to learn that language, or understand it, like me.

Yes, this what i also mean.

I got an idea. Ability to know the language. I think there are 4 cultures with different languages ​​in the area: merchants, Sámi, Finns, and Njerpez. Everyone knows sign language, but to have better contact would it be good to know a foreign language?

True, there’s some quirky behavior when it comes to passed NPCs belongings. Sometimes even slender logs are ‘village property’ yet at other times they’re “free for the taking”

I tend to pick up things, then drop, tab unpaid, to see if the villagers believe I owe something. Or alternatively chat with villager and choose trade. If they tell you that they don’t have anything to barter, or they want you to pay for the goods picked up; is good choice too.

Since last few versions, the villagers tend to prowl several hundred yards/meters from their village, if they drop anything, you pick it up and bee line to the village: the villagers will get livid and call you out on “do not dare to try to leave with those goods”… when you’re returning them to the village.

Thankless bastards.

What I would like is to start as Njerpez, or have the opportunity to switch to their side. If they come, they might ask if you've hunted here. They wouldn't tolerate being hunted by outsiders. But this is not programmed.
How easy it is to destroy a village at sea: buy arrows from hunters and adventurers. Take the stuff, get on the boat, shoot/stone the protesters.
Take their clothes and goods, make new fur and woolen clothes, and exchange them for furs in the north. Buy weapons from the south, and take them to the njerpez. But they don't make friends in the east.

Most of this sounds like the normal punishment for stealing, the villagers attack you to try to get you to give their stuff back -- a long time ago the clothes of dead villagers were not marked as village property but this was fixed many versions ago. and ifyou still don't drop it,they'll try to knock you unconscious and throw you out of the village (teleporting you, just like when the robbers knock you unconscious)

But you're saying maybe you got teleported when the villager man entered a trap and maybe he lost consciousness?

Yes, I know that. I have been "playing" that game for over 20 years. Actually, it's a tutorial, not a game, because in the game you have to get some kind of win, etc.

Solved'n'fixed bug reports / [Discontinued/Unreproducible] teleported to field

« on: May 18, 2024, 06:34:47 PM »

I took the two clothes of the boy who fell into the trap and died. The woman noticed it, and demanded that I come back with the things I took. I started walking towards the southern border of the village, where there was a trap, because the others had been triggered, and there was no time to start fixing them.
When stepping past the trap, the villager man following me, stepped into the trap, causing the program to "crash". The other half of the field of vision turned into empty terrain, and soon the program teleported me to a field, on the east side of the village. After this, the game seemed to work normally. 0_o

Development News / Re: Spring things, pausable things, future things

« on: April 10, 2024, 07:10:31 AM »

I suggest a new ability "assassin", which could be attached to the same menu as the strikes. This would be most effective against a target that has not yet noticed the attacker, or has turned its back. It could also include the art of poisoning. But since it is a relatively rare activity, I suggest that you can go and study it. And that reminded me that wandering merchants have a base somewhere in the middle of the world, from where it is a short distance to everywhere.
I have attacked the enemy with his back to me with the best sword, but I have only wounded him.
The possibility of killing the target at once is only possible for animals to be slaughtered, although understandably it is not always possible even in those cases.
I suggest changing the physical characteristics that can be searched with Random to be self-selectable - up to the length.
Hopefully ww3 won't start before these are done...

Can you post a screenshot about the situation?
At first I'd think there's some elevation in between that causes the confusion.

Too late. I forgot that prt scr. Death came, and i didn't have save version. Next time i try to remember.

The arrows do not fly from one island to another, but fall into the water. Also rocks.
And there's only 2-4 m to fly.

Just conquered a Njerp village (5x warrior, a peasant, two craftsmen, a maiden, a woman, a housewife and a child) and carried away my spoils on Conquest, Victory, Triumph, Honour, Glory and Pride, which are the two bulls and four cows those dead Njerpez certainly need no longer.

I encountered a Vagabond hunter in the forest. The man was probably hunting a bird, because - i decided to continue my journey when suddenly I noticed a bird that took off. It had probably been the target of a hunter, because in his anger he attacked me from behind and struck me dead with an axe. =L

Solved'n'fixed bug reports / Re: [Fixed - persists in 3.80] Blacksmith continually fails to make item?

« on: August 09, 2023, 02:12:10 PM »

Okay, so now we have found and fixed an issue here that might have caused the blacksmith order failures mentioned in some other reports as well.

The thing is that in this case the blacksmith failed to carry the ordered finished item because he was carrying too much load in his inventory.
The excess inventory then is a result of the fact that blacksmiths don't seem to restock the items they receive in trades - at least not in a swift manner.
It's fixed now so that blacksmiths will restock their carried inventory before attempting to carry the finished ordered item.

This is probably an inadvertent oversight - when you tear down the building and rebuild it, the notches on the logs are gone, so you have to re-notch the logs.
If you want to help the blacksmith to ease their burden before the next version is out then the solutions are to wait for a long time and hope that they'll eventually drop the excess items, or to trade the heavy items back from them.

Fixed - persists in 3.80.

I went to a small settlement (owned by a family). I put a northern bow and a broadhead arrow ready in hand (to shoot). I saved. When I started the game again, a cliff had appeared around the village (arund like in fortified villages), which you couldn't climb down.
I killed the old man wandering around to get out of the village (enter), and when I zoomed south of the village to see if the cliff was still there, the plants were gone, but the cliff and the village on it remained. Part of the forest remained elsewhere.

It has sometimes happened that an adventurer wounded by a beast does not need help. I think it might be because you go into the tent and leave without asking anything?
Once in the case of the blacksmith "Something happened"... he had put the arrowheads in the tent. This is probably not a bug?
But if the 2 kids don't run away, but attack and defeat the 96% Grandmaster swordsman... not a bug, but have to reprogrammed.

And when you tear down the building and rebuild it, the notches on the logs are gone, so you have to re-notch the logs.

Following a fairly peaceful first two years in the URW, my Finn decided to spice things up a little and wreak genocide upon the Njerps.  This had been going splendidly, until the last camp I hit turned out to be filled with Njerp archers, who turned out to be rather good shots.  I took over 20 arrows, nine of which penetrated my armour.  I was 60% wounded and unable to move, with the last remaining Njerp (who was not having a good day either) at under 20 yards away.  We spent a hilarious ten minutes exchanging arrows, which we loosed off in all directions due to our wounds and fatigue.  Finally I got the bugger in the neck, and the job was done.  My hands were still shaking for a while after!

Now I can look forward to a couple of weeks making stakes and withes while I heal up.  Still, only three Njerp camps left to deal with, two of which are close to Reemi villages.  Hopefully I can recruit some likely lads from them to help me out with the battles.  I've never got this close to removing the Reds before, wish me luck!

I destroyed almost all the Reemi villages, because I want to see if Njerp will come to live in the area, or what will happen. At least a few villages have been repopulated by vagabonds.

« on: March 21, 2023, 05:57:38 PM »

I was fighting against the enemies, and I saw: the branch flying in the air, the enemy had shot it with his bow. Possible bug?

This has been reported and should be fixed already, but I'd guess the fix is not yet in the latest version, but will be in the next release.

Okay, thanks! (Well...stones and boards flying too)

I dreamed: the number of fallen big tree trunks could double, as well as the number of ant nests.
But then: Assasin skills... Destroying the Njerpezies in the dark would be more comfortable. The skill requires you to be able to sneak silently. Then, when approaching from behind, you know where to strike, and the victim dies silently. When you are behind the victim, there could be an opportunity to drag the body into the forest after killing...
And of course the ability to start as an enemy.

I dreamed of combining the graphics of red dead Redemption and especially Stalker (especially the evening skies) with a future URW game.

The third problem is, that the villagers don't know how to throw anything. I'd be in trouble if they know how to throw rocks. Instead, they try to hit with a rock.

Another problems:

- You can fill (partly) a drinking vessel with dried meat.
- Salt spoils.

NPCs using throwing weapons is not a thing yet.  You are right, it would increase the challenge if they did.  I would think twice before chucking a javelin at that Vagabond woodsman if I thought he might chuck it back!

Containers are always treated as if they are filled with liquid, it seems to work okay though it is a little odd keeping your milk in a birch bark basket!

Do you mean that a bag of salt spoiled (which I don't think it is meant to), or that some salted meat spoiled (which it is meant to)?

Yes, "bag of salt spoiled"
