Well, so much for that dog commit XD It was a long shot- I was hoping the different setup would get you.

Meanwhile, I'll just keep on refreshing the web neighborhood view until my value goes to 0.

EDIT: Wow, did you just take out 10k for my starter house? XD

I had a big WTF moment when I discovered this:

All that to control just two electric floors. lol

What, it's just a clock hooked up to some innocent wiring... <_<

If anyone can tell me what it does (privately - I like that trap ), I'd be really impressed!

Yeah, I thought that I hadalready said thanks for that. I'll put it in when I have time to implement it the way I want to. Thanks for saving me time on where to look for it, though.

Didn't see the post, sorry.

Saving on the server seems very ruthless and evil in my opinion. Can cause great damage because unlimited accounts = unlimited houses.

Saving on client is logical since text files are easily kept.

Now, a load & save function.

I'm thinking about making a simple form in a .dll that is called through The Castle Doctrine, but I'm not sure if it would work. But that would be the most easiest to do in my opinion.

Otherwise you'd have to deal with in-game GUI which will require you to study how it works.

Anyways, I'm back to scouting your house, 42. Did you switch your magic dance yet?

Are you thinking about damage to the server because of space, or just in-game exploits? I'm not sure either one would be an issue- there's not enough people to stop the server by saving houses, and it would be functionally identical to building a house, just much faster.

Anyways, I want to get into GUI

I just realized that I could do something to make family a bit less annoying. What I'm thinking of is not counting wires as blocking, so if there's a wire in between the wife and the exit, the game won't complain. However, the wife won't actually be able to cross the wire- she'll just walk up to it and stop.

What do you think about that? It gives you a bit more versatility, but is also a bit more open to exploitation; it can prevent family from moving at all, for instance. Come to think of it, probably not such a good idea, but I want to hear your thoughts.

GotABigTrap · 2014-04-07 19:29:54

I'm not sure i'd change that aspect of it myself.

I rarely run into situations where I wish I had wires in wife path. What might be better is to have an inverted panic button. That actually would increase family ability to interact and solve the situation where you want to send power across without blocking them.

42dustman · 2014-04-08 05:51:58

hahaha! look at your name iceman:

The switches and the wiring are packed in so tight that I can't change it without doing away with some of the systems.

inverted buttons for everything Like the toggle switch, triggered switches in different layouts, and a sticky interrupt button.

Gotchya, 42... Unfortunately, I don't have enough money to build an actual house, so whoever logs on next get's a nice surprise

EDIT: Or maybe I'll just kill myself with sheer stupidity. Did I really try to do a MD without even a dog there?!?

Nice one iceman. That last little "magic dance" of mine sure was clever wasn't it? If only you didn't have a ladder...

42dustman · 2014-04-08 07:00:28

Drawing a new house right now, this one is going to have poison gas in it, lot's of poison gas.

The problem is, an attacker can possibly send the required queries to the server to create huge text files.

Just died self testing my new home and thus burned 98% of all the money in the server. Yay!

gyuri · 2014-04-08 11:03:33

Most of the money came from two sources: me doing suicide runs and tool dumping two weeks ago and Grimsley's dual-accounting. Now there aren't any broken houses, so tool dumping is not an option any more. I might start doing suicide runs again, but there is nothing to rob now.

GotABigTrap · 2014-04-08 16:51:00

haha I got the top house now with like 4,000$ and a painting that was stolen from me several lives ago. Just see if you can get that back from my ~~house~~ fortress

Is there a build for Linux yet? I'd like to get in on the action here.

I'll finally be able to play around with building the game on Linux tomorrow, so I really, really hope I'll have something by the end of this week. Of course, the Mac build took me over a week to iron out (even Jason was confused!), so no promises, but I'm definitely working on it.

GABT, I'll check out your house

42dustman · 2014-04-09 08:32:15

How about a new boss house?

iceman · 2014-04-09 08:55:37

Just wait for v3, when Silence will fall

Kimenzar · 2014-04-09 09:51:10

How about retired houses with some changes that make them impossible to solve?
