Warsim 0.8.2.3 (Hidden Gnome Village, 35 features)

Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Troy - Warsim!

Hey everyone,

So after last updates new massive expansion of the gnome insult battles, I was sad that they appear only as an option in upgraded throne room entertainment acts. The only solution... a gnome village. But where could such a village go?

THE GNOME VILLAGE OF THE SOUTHERN LANDS (25 features)

Hidden away somewhere in the south you'll find a gnome village guarded by something terrible, but inside you'll find a sweet and kind community of happy little gnomes. Fit with a gnome battle pit, a new board game, 40 unique random dialogues and more!

* Reworked an area in the south to hold the new gnome village
* Added ability to send peasant/knight/soldier to explore the area (the better the unit the better chance of survival)
* Added Battle system with the guarding monster (with sfx and dynamic text for the outcome of the fight, 12 possible screens)
* Added gnome introduction scene (with sfx)
* Added gnomes give random loot item upon introduction
* Added large central hut to the gnome village
* Added ability to speak to the gnome village grand vizier 'Bongles the Great' (12 unique dialogues)
* Added Gribble's Tavern to the gnome village
* Added new drink 'Gnome Ale' (tiny compared to normal ale and unlikely to get you drunk)
* Added ability to speak to Gribble the Bartender (9 unique dialogues)
* Added ability to speak to random gnome tavern patron (20 unique dialogues) (with sfx)
* Added special song Gribble can sing
* Added new gnome tavern game called 'Biggleroll'
* Added ability to watch gnomes play Biggleroll
* Added ability to ask the name of the Biggleroll host
* Added special event if host's name is Biggle (super rare)

* Added gnome battle pits to the village
* Added random number of insult battles per year (between 2-20)
* Added ability to destroy gnome village (with sfx)
* Added ability to visit ruined gnome village

A cave... hmm

What in the realm is that?!

Bongles the Great

The gnome's reward can be great

Or not so great (good luck)

The new gnome village

Gribble's Tavern, the hottest place in town

Biggleroll... a hit new tavern game that all the gnomes are playing

Flip the gnome coin and prove your worth with Biggleroll

BUGFIXES (8 features)

A couple of bugfixes here, once again largely thanks to player reports so thank you all! :)

* Fixed thickblood tavern owner dialogue menu kick out bug (credit u/TheUniqueFidji)

* Added new audio for Glory to Ha'hah crowd in Darkdale cult meeting
* Added total arena capacity tracker in the arena upgrades screen (credit Homuya [GER])

WHAT'S NEXT

I'm planning on tackling the end of turn report very soon but for now I'll be taking most of this week off to finish moving into my new place and getting settled in.

Hope everyone's doing good!

Cheers

Premiums

DoD: Fixed use node on the Daggerford Wagon in the dev hak

Using NWSync Serverside

The linux/macos nwserver binaries can now bootstrap from NWSync instead of having to have a copy of all hak data.

New argument -moduleurl, from which the module data will be sourced.
New optional argument -modulehash; which is considered to be `latest` if omitted.
You need to generate the server/module repository with --with-module.
You can reuse the public repository to save on duplication/disk space; or use a separate/private one. If you reuse the same repository and do not want to leak the module data, turn off http content listing and write the data with --no-latest.
Data is stored in SERVERHOME/nwsync, same as on the client. It will auto-prune old data if the group_id matches, also same as the client. The rest is left up to you.

New Scripting Functionality

// Sets the current hitpoints of oObject. // * You cannot destroy or revive objects or creatures with this function. // * For currently dying PCs, you can only set hitpoints in the range of -9 to 0. // * All other objects need to be alive and the range is clamped to 1 and max hitpoints. // * This is not considered damage (or healing). It circumvents all combat logic, including damage resistance and reduction. // * This is not considered a friendly or hostile combat action. It will not affect factions, nor will it trigger script events. // * This will not advise player parties in the combat log. void SetCurrentHitPoints(object oObject, int nHitPoints);
