ACR Update (600 MB download; plan accordingly)

Post by Zelknolf »

ACR Update today. It's a big one, as I've been saving up changes to try to reduce re-releases of our bigger haks (creatures, tiles, placeables)
  • Traps which make attack rolls to hurt you now display the attack roll made by the trap.
  • Traps which make attack rolls to hurt you now hit on a natural 20.
  • Trap waypoints with values in "ACR_TRAP_DESCRIPTION" now properly load into the creator
  • Traps now respect both "TRAP_ORIGIN" and "TRAP_EMITTER" placeables as potential sources of projectiles
  • Trap VFXes added for magical, negative, positive, and divine damage explosions.
  • If a trap has an emitter, then single-target traps will fire rays or projectiles (as appropriate) for their VFX.
  • Random dungeons can now iterate to arbitrary size.
  • Three new dwarf male heas (7, 8, 9) -- these dwarf heads are beardier copies of default dwarf heads
  • Elf female heads (92, 93, 94, 95) and human female heads (87, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 97) -- these are just more variations on one of the standard 'pretty faces' that are all over the vault.
  • A number of resources from the Drow Underfell pack (tiles, placeables, doors)
  • Dark Ruins tileset
  • Expanded Standard tileset
  • Updates taken from the RWS All In One pack
  • RWS-CODI Sigil expanded tileset
  • More walkmesh helper placeables (steps, arches, zigzags, etc)
This is a large download (597.14MB) -- please account for the extra download time before any scheduled sessions.

The traps especially are appreciated and necessary to current building efforts, but all of it is great! Thanks to both you and Foam, Zelk.
Enjoy the game

As ever I'm impressed with the work that goes into keeping ALFA living and breathing and expanding after all these years. Well done all involved!

Thank you so much Tech team. I am greedy for the dwarven beardly look of course, but thank you so much for all the updates.

The random dungeons one especially sounds really interesting.

Is there any pilot version of this system in play? Like talk to NPC XYZ, it makes a previously boring AT somewhere else point into some instanced area?

They're still fairly sheltered, and the stuff you can just find as static content only goes up to CR3 (2-5 areas), but you can talk to Jasmine in the Silver Owl in Ruqel to get a quest summarized as "make this place non-dangerous enough that we can run tours through it".
