No no no no, this has to be a nightmare, it's too horrible to be true. Not even the wastes could be so cruel. Maybe if I just drink enough half-irradiated frozen top-secret raspberry soda it will all go away...
...Or maybe all I have to do is wake up. Yes, that's it, just gotta wake up. Cmon me, wake up! Up!
...Or, perhaps. Perhaps...
...I think I'll just go do some Conciliatory wasting. That'll make all my troubles go away. Maybe, maybe if I just play the wastes long enough, this will just go away.
*much time passes*
*looks back towards audiogames*
*even more time passes, time punctuated by the pfch of swinging weapons and the howling of wind through deserted wastes*
Well... well maybe I can survive long enough to look at this thread now. I mean it can't be that bad, right? (who am I kidding, this game was the best thing that  ever happened to audiogames.)
but... but...
But an amazing game needs an amazing programmer! And amazing programmers don't give up! Because amazing programmers are amazing! The loss of such code must only make you stronger! The wastes may be evil and have a mind of their own, but what kind of wastelander would you be if you let the wastes grind you down!
*holds up fist*
Today, my friends, we fight for something much greater than the history of audiogames...
we fight for the right to eat suspiciously branded chocolate! And so that our descendants can live in happiness! Because if we don't fight for it, then no-one will!
Souls for the waste-lord!
Skulls for the skull throne!
...
Charge!

Go, balloons. I don't see anything happening. Go, balloons. Go, balloons. Go, balloons. Stand by, confetti. Keep coming, balloons. More balloons. Bring them. Balloons, balloons, balloons! More balloons. Tons of them. Bring them down. Let them all come. No confetti. No confetti yet. No confetti. All right. Go, balloons.

@Jesseleivo, It means when someone attacks you they take five damage, though it's a lie, it's not five but some figure based on your current strength and level I believe, it ends up being pretty hefty and worthwhile

Well here's hoping you decide to make something else in the future. Would gladly host a campaign to maybe start a group effort to rebuild the game.

Take care, it's a desert out there.

2015-11-21 02:13:07

YeOuch! That friggin' hurts!

Well, it was a fun game and although not yet complete, it will still be fun to play again from time to time.

Here's a great big thanks for the game!

And here's hoping we see you here again with another great game for us to play with.

irregardless of whether you come up with a new game or not, you're always welcome here.

So it's been years since the game was lost, but following some recent discussion on the warsim post I have decided it would be a good idea to release an updated warsim download that includes all the mods made for the game merged into it giving a sort of, Anniversary Edition style update to the game.

Here are the mods that are included:

**GEMS GLORIOUS GEMS**

'Gems Glorious Gems' Adds 43 new items to the misc items file which due to the nature of the game results in 549067 brand new randomly generated items in your game.
Now you will find Sapphires, Diamonds and other gemstones in your world to trade with or collect, most will be of high value and will be worth carrying with you across the wastes.

**JUNK ITEM PACK**

'Junk Item Pack' Adds 14 new misc items to the game, which includes, parts of a broken fan, pens, wall screws that can be turned into lockpicks, foreign coins, beer mats and a message in a bottle, just some more general junk for you to find while exploring!

**ANTIQUE COLLECTORS MOD**

'Antique Collectors Mod' Adds 12 new misc item conditions to the MiscConditions.txt file, and as always due to the nature of the game it results in over a million new items, more specifically, fake and antique versions of every item in the game. And it's worth noting the more item mods you have in your game the more this number increases as this allows for special versions of all mod added misc items too.
Now you will find Fake Heirlooms and Antique Whistles and all kinds of useless crap in the wastes that you can trade or collect.

**GAINS MOD**

'Gains Mod' Adds 3 new misc items to the Misc.txt file, and as always due to the nature of the game it results in tons of new items, more specifically, new 2kg, 4kg and 500kg dumbells.
Now you will find the world record 500kg dumbell and some more smaller little dumbells to help you train when you are weak.

**GOLD MOD**

'Gold Mod' Adds 2 new misc item conditions to the MiscConditions.txt file, and as always due to the nature of the game it results in tons of new items, more specifically, solid gold items and gold plated items.
Now you will find Solid Gold Guitars and Gold Plated Shin bones among other crap.

**NEW ITEM CONDITIONS MOD**

'New Item Conditions Mod' Adds 4 new item conditions, futuristic and three smelling conditions, not a substantial mod but every little helps!

**FOOD AND ART MODPACK**

'The Food and Art Modpack' Adds a bunch of new foods, food conditions, food companies, greetings to the splash screen and additionally a new item type, 'Paintings' which are just images instead of books

**NEW ITEM CONDITIONS MOD V2**

This mod was made especially for this update, it adds a bunch of new item conditions which result in millions of new items in game, these include blood stained items, durable items and tacky items!

Lol, tacky items? I do not know why, but I am now sat here laughing my head off. I'm even re-reading that sentence and laughing still! Thanks for the laugh.

2017-11-13 01:07:19

Well, all sorts of horrors exist in the wasteland, including That Tacky Stained Vase you found in an old lab in the desert

I've found how to make misc items and books, but it would be very, very nice to know how to do all the other stuff, food companies, misc conditions, etc.
I've seen people do it so I feel like I must be missing something, maybe it's all in comments somewhere because their are only two actual topics that tell you how to mod on the subreddit.

2017-11-13 11:36:08

@Defender, I'll have a look and see if I can find the old mod guides I wrote, I'd have trouble remembering which numbers mean what now haha

I can roughly explain the Misc conditions modding process,

you have for example

Glowing .0.0.55. has a strong pink glow

The first name, followed by a space is the name of the condition

the second number is the material type that this condition fits on, so 0 means anything, but there are numbers from 1 to 10 and I can't remember which is which, but from a little piecing togeather I've established that:

10 = Paper
5 = Remains and bones
3 = Wood
1 = Metal

finally the second number decides if the condition is good or bad, 0 means good and 1 means bad, this is to decide if we want the condition to reduce or increase the items overall value.

then the number that follows is the percentage of modification, the lower the number the more drastic the effect of the item (I know its an odd way of doing it)

so for example an item with the number being 50 is going to be 5x more effected than one with 90

and then lastly you have a space followed by the description (start always with a space and imagine the word prior to your description ends with the word it)

Hope this helps a bit

2017-12-03 20:54:53

I'm afraid reloading saved games was a  mechanic that was never finished owing to the code crash that sostopped development unfortunately.

The Wastes traveled through 80 places in the wasteland, he died at level 86.0 and the last thing he saw was a huge hard drive crash in the region known as wastelanderhome craters

I'll always have a soft spot for the wastes, indeed I still have it on my hd and fire it up occasionally when I fancy fighting zombie albino midgit ant demons with a set of dirty well made military platinum nunchuks big_smile.

awww, shame about the crash. Always liked this project.

2018-12-14 23:02:50

For like the past year I've been meaning to create something like this game, with scriptable events instead of hardcoded like in the original game. I keep getting sidetracked from it however, like I do with most things I do in my spare time, so I have no idea if this will ever see the light of day. Maybe someone who won't get sidetracked quite as much will do this before I do, in which case I'd happily play it.

2018-12-18 09:53:56

Hi. I decided to dig this game out again, I forgot how fun it is. I have one question. IN the main menu, why do I see a weapon generator and a monster genorator but they don't seem to be doing anything. What are they for?

Thanks.

They generate a random name for said item.

2018-12-18 21:32:11

Is it possible to select it and have it in your inventory for your next game?

Thanks.

Sadly no, they're just their for amusement value and to show some of the coding that went into creating the game, ---- as well as what has since been used in Warsim.
