Cataclysm (Now at 8/25/12)

[getter77]

8/25/12

Another small update.

Windows executable: http://whalesdev.com/cataclysm.zip
Linux executable: http://whalesdev.com/cataclysm.tar.bz2

Save file IS NOT compatible.  Clean build IS required.

Features:

    -Configurable options.  You can edit data/options.txt manually, or edit the options via the help menu.  Right now all the options are UI-related:
        Allow lower-case y/n on prompts
        Use Celsius rather than Fahreinheit
        Turn off bright background colors
        Use 24-hour time
        Snap to target automatically on/off (see below)
        Safe mode: on or off by default?
        Autosafemode: on or off by default?
    -Scrollable View.  The x/; command will keep the viewport centered on the cursor.  Firing a gun or throwing something will, by default, not use this behavior; however, you can press * to make the viewport center on your crosshair, or turn the "snap to target" option to true to make it always happen.
    -New building: restaurant.
    -When you use a gas pump, you fill your vehicle all in one go.  This is a long-duration, interruptable activity; if you're interrupted halfway through filling, then the tank will be half-full.

Tweaks:

    -Big efficiency optimizations all over the place, wowee
    -Monsters aren't quite so quick to despawn.
    -Purifier is harder to craft.
    -The welder is more common, but doesn't come with any charges.
    -More likely to vomit from food poisoning.
    -Eating poisonous items (tainted meat, poisonous mushroom) is much, much worse for you.
    -Vines have only 2 HP, and will almost always be killed in a single blow.
    -Most vehicle parts are easier to install.
    -Vehicle speeds are a bit slower--80% of what they used to be.

Bug fixes:

    -Not really a bug fix, but compiled with optimization.  The game runs much faster.
    -Removed containers from food crafting recipes.
    -Some monster/NPC death related crashes fixed.
    -Archery fixes.
