[CR/Ready] Mutations: The Next Generation #6416

KA101 · Mar 4, 2014

Freeze is gone. Time to do what I do.

Leading off with unifying the various mutagenic substances: now if you mutate via substances (as opposed to radiation) you take the hunger/thirst/fatigue/pain hit, and added "MUTAGEN_WEAK" for non-mutagen mutagenics like the legs, arms, tainted tornado, etc.

Got a nice selection up for the Slime folks post-Threshold, including a practically-Capstone mutation to let you spawn smaller Slimes (unique critter and special!). Insect & Spider some post-Threshold love, and then Bird next.

Was Unfun and moved HIBERNATE past the Ursine threshold. Sorry.

Finally got that knot out of my spinnerets there. More Web love for Spiders, though I did Threshold-lock Web Weaver. Hoping to get the legs working by this time tomorrow. (Preferably sooner.)

Legs operational; I tightened the requirements for AMORPHOUS' bar-slip to torso/head/feet not-encumbered. Will bring back PROBOSCIS for the Insects now that flowers are actually available in respectable quantities and then Birds need attention.

PROBOSCIS is Back and I threw in some butterfly wings to go with. Might do a BLOODSUCKER stiletto if there's interest (check the PROBOSCIS commit first! Post-Threshold has a fair amount of "be careful for what you wish") but tomorrow is set for Birds and hopefully getting this landed.

Birds are in. Could do more but this is getting to the point where I'd rather land it and see what's needed next. If anyone's got concerns, now's a great time to make 'em known.

Great!

KA101 · Mar 8, 2014

I'll be curious to hear what people think of the Slime stuff. Dialed some back a bit and had perhaps a bit too much !Fun! on that one mutation.

Zireael07 · Mar 8, 2014

Omg the Slime stuff is so much !!FUN!!

Rivet-the-Zombie · Mar 8, 2014

I like the looks of all of this. The slime mutant being all amorphous and covered with extra eyeballs and stuff is awesome!

IOSYN · Mar 8, 2014

Slime looks awesome, nice job KA101.

KA101 · Mar 9, 2014

I see a makefile change there. News to me. What'd I miss?

9600bauds · Mar 9, 2014

Amazing stuff already, I might give Slime another try before getting my purifier now. Great work KA101.

Maybe "In a good way??" ?

I meant that as a rapid-interjection, but yeah, can be capitalized.

Capitalize the "h" ?

slimespawns have small voices like this. they're "little" and frankly i don't yet know whether it's shared-brain telepathy or if they have an audible voice.

This is great!

I like it! Amoeboid-style!

That is the idea, Lain. ;-)

Wishbringer · Mar 14, 2014

Constructions wasn't working properly so I changed line 439 in "constructions.cpp" from "} if" to "} else if". It may still be wrong though, hope I saved you some time. Keep up the good work! :)

Not sure what was breaking with just the "if", but if "else if" works better, I can change it. (If for some reason you want to trust that cheap nylon crap over your own silk strands?! ;-) )

It steals the else from the if above yours! :)

OK, that'll be done.

Try to board up a window, it'll get boarded up but no materials will be taken.

I changed my version, so normal materials uses the "else if" clause.

Lain- · Mar 15, 2014

Not directly related here, but what is the status of illi-kun's mutation window? If we can get that in game then there will be no need to fiddle with the construction menu, we can just use the mutation window to construct things with web.

dwarfkoala · Mar 15, 2014

Yeah, that died kinda quickly.

I'd say the construction menu isn't a good place at all for
mutation-related stuff like this.

Wishbringer · Mar 15, 2014

It was a clone of the bionic menu, that is a good way to start, I guess.
Would be nice to have a on/off switch, when food is scarce. Using metabolic energy as a material source can be bad. But then again, mutations come with drawbacks sometimes. :)

KA101 · Mar 15, 2014

Dwarfkoala's right, WEB_ROPE needed to touch construction & crafting. Arguably I could have made separate jobs "Build Web-stabilized Wall/Roof/Whatever" but that'd need even more infrastructure and torque off folks who believe that a "spoiler" is some sort of informational thing.

WEB_ROPE only checks whether you're Famished or worse. Arachnids aren't charged for webbing, at any time. Go forth and leave your silky strands everywhere! ;-)

(Active mutations are for things like wings, noisemaking/echolocation, wall-walking maybe, actively spawning backup, and other such mode-shifting or active-use mutations.)

Zireael07 · Mar 15, 2014

Illi-kun's menu is #5612, seems nothing has been done on it for months.

illi-kun · Mar 15, 2014

The most important part of #5612 is the discussion which is defines main categories of "mut-actions".

Unfortunately, I'm busy IRL and don't have enough time for completing the tasks which I suppose to do (vehicle towing, mutation menu, smoke detectors, auto-activation of explosive stuff by fire using existing ACT_FIRE flag).

Anyway, I'll try to complete named features when I'll have enough free time. If anyone wants to implement mut-action menu - feel free to do it.

KA101 · Mar 18, 2014

Just pulled the WIP tag. Great time to raise concerns should you have 'em.

Capitalize statement
I've probably used up my Creative Grammar with the slimespawn voices themselves. ;-)
