The Castle Doctrine Forums

I realize this is an old thread, but I just wanted to throw in my two cents and say that I really love the randomly generated names. It adds a really nice touch.

Thanks to you for creating this in the first place!

It works great now!

I've only had a couple houses since I started in v9. The first image was my very first house. The second and third are two different versions of a more streamlined/simplified version of the same thing. They're all pretty boring. Currently I'm working on a doggy maze... if I can just stop dying for long enough to actually get it built.

That's interesting. So it does show the total cost when I build it by hand, but for some reason, it's no longer showing me the total cost when I import the code from the stdout file. It used to before the latest version? Maybe it's something on my end.

This is such a cool tool thanks for making it! One thing I noticed is that it doesn't seem to tabulate the total cost of the house anymore. Is this intentional?

Isn't Carmen a male name too?

I also really like the green text for unwatched tapes.

Alas, I died after learning that you apparently cannot club pit bulls after drugging them anymore. I got trapped. Despite this killing me and losing my paintings and well funded house I actually think this is a good idea since it will make pit bulls much more dangerous. This should allow poorer players to make harder houses with less funds so that rich players can't just easily raid them.

Hi,

I'm sorry to start out with such a bummer of a first post, but here goes...

Unfortunately, ever since the server fix, I have been unable to load or play the game at all. When I started the game this afternoon, it tried to load up and connect to the server, but then crashed. I received a standard looking Windows message saying the program had crashed. I tried again, but this time it just froze completely when trying to connect to the server. I let it sit there for a few minutes while I tended to some stuff in another room and then closed it via Alt+F4 when I got back and it was still frozen. (It was at the black screen with little white boxes in the top right corner - the boxes were not animated though, just frozen in their current state.) I tried deleting the game completely and downloaded a fresh install, but ran into the same problem: the game simply froze up when trying to start.

I was still waiting for the registration email for these forums to send me my password so I could post at this point, so I started browsing the web while I waited. A couple minutes later... I receive the infamous "blue screen of death." I have no idea whether this was at all related to the issues with the Castle Doctrine, but I have never experienced (or even seen in real life) the blue screen of death on any computer I've had in my entire life. After restarting my computer, Windows loaded up without any problems. I copied down the error codes it gave me and searched them on Google, but nothing particularly helpful came up.

Anyway, back to the game... I tried running it once more (call me crazy, but I really wanted to play). No luck. It just froze up again on startup. At this point I figured I should try it on another computer, so I downloaded it again from another computer and started it up... Exact same issue (minus the blue screen). The first time I start it, it crashes, and a Windows error message pops up. The second time I try to run it, it simply freezes on startup. I deleted it and turned the other computer off.

It looks like it seems to work fine for everyone else, and it did work fine for me before the server fix. So does anyone have any idea what might be the issue? Thanks for any suggestions.
