The Castle Doctrine Forums

i have often wondered about upgradeable houses, but it definitely adds a whole new level of balancing issues where the rich become too powerful.

i kind of giggled too at $25k being called a lot of money in this game :s cheapest houses i have planned out lately are around $30,000 in wood with minimal storm-bracing.
it is nice with the new/returning players though, seems to be a lot more money slushing around to be robbed in fun and exciting ways! i'll have to try and save up and build something neat~

oh, has anyone figured out merril lewis yet? that dang dog keeps walking on the buttons!

if you return home to powered trap doors, when you have finished reviewing the robbed state of the house, simply click 'done' and then exit the self test immediately and the house will reset to everything powered off.

are you sure it didn't have a dead critter inside it? i think a dead critter causes a new trapdoor to be purchased. that stink of death lingers!

edit this gave me an idea!

perhaps the build screen could have an on/off button on the UI that will cause the power supplies to run their power through the current set of electronics laid down? turning it off would simply reset to regular build mode display (no saving up power in the little batteries people make).

or would that confuse new players (and old ones?) who are trying to test their clocks? hmm. food for thought anyhow! (obviously you shouldn't be able to kill yourself in build mode, and i know it is possible to have every tile as non-deadly/blocking in build mode.. because i kind of made myself a mod for that.)

oh cool! gogo vintage screenshot thread!

pft my house was just to see if i could get brewington working with the changes. didn't need much modification really, was quite surprised by that.
and yes, as it was a very old design it was not designed to entrap anyone. enough people were willing to dive into the pits though, i really didn't do that much robbing. i really found it strange how many people would take 200-500 moves in the house pushing the buttons and then just jump in the pit. and i mean the pit by the front door, not even the trapdoor up the hall to see if it'd pop up or not!

how much did it cost, i am not sure. initially i made it out of wood and substituted a lot of trapdoors with lights, so it was around $29,000. then i layered it up with some metal and added more trapdoors. maybe another $20,000? and then yesterday i spent $69,000 adding pits and concrete and pitbulls everywhere for no reason, and then spent $20,000 on water bottles and another $20,000 on a painting. can't remember if i dropped the water bottles into the twisting nether or left them in my vault. i am sure i left the house with $300-800 anyway.

would be interested to see if anyone could even be bothered to figure it out 11,000 in-game dollarinos to anyone who wants to even try!

aww josh, i thought that was someone else!

seems people are having trouble finding the recordedGame files!

open up your castle doctrine folder, go into settings folder, open recordGame.ini and make sure it's contents are '1' and not '0.' save!

next time you open up the game, when you leave your house you should then find the 'recordedGames' folder inside castle doctrine folder, with films named; recordedGame00001.txt, 00002, 3, 4, etc.

crack open your newest file and your house code should be the first big line beginning with 998#998#998#998#998#998#998#998#998#998#998#998#998#998#.. etc. very long string

if there is a $90 profit to be made, take them out clubbing!

i think i fraps'd a few good tape, if you reaalllllyyy want to keep them you can always try that!

regarding the cost of house, you can import your house to http://castledraft.com/ and it'll tell you how much it costs to build

rip dickman

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

i knew we forgot something! tool range is in some files in those folders ;-; worse still, files we didn't need to include >.<

uh i mean, ghosts did it

i wonder how that happened!

how is this one, ahh i am bad at dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/z66o6uylim9p1 … castle.rar

works fine with something conductive in-between, but i am imagining this case is unintentional.
