yep...

I didn't make the mod to be edited in the script for custom maps. So what you said makes sense to me...that fire wont lite because the timer is not set with that watch script.

the error on must not be subordinate is a on command inside another on command...called nesting. That is not allowed.

example:

}

usually i get that error if I missed a bracket "{ }" and the editor thinks I "nested" the on command. That might be the case for you...make sure when you added the watchmaker you did not nest it inside the bracket of the other on command, making it subordinate to the other.

I believe you should have put that watchmaker script inside a ON:START { } command...so it will start each time when the game is started. You can put it anywhere between the SCRIPT=START SCRIPT=END and NOT inside another ON command.

			local $watch;
			$watch=create("object",4855,0,0);
			freevar $watch;
		}
	}

}

I think I was testing these scripts while you were typing that... thanks for the explanation though! I can't write code for squat but I'm usually pretty good at editing it. Case in point, the scripts I just uploaded all work great! All 4 tested and 2 of 4 with no injury!

Had a nasty surprise on my original custom map, though. I had originally intended the native village in the center of the map to be a trading settlement/safe haven... boy, was I surprised! As was the native, I'm sure, when I shot him in the face for biting me. Fun times.

Anyways, I cleaned up my sloppy code and made it in the 4 difficulties in random mode. You may want to look them over, test them for yourself and maybe reactivate that single island option for the next update.

Unsure if I'm missing something here, or not, but:

Smithing no longer seems to work. I've been smacking that iron and it hasn't yielded the crafted tool (via combination screen) that it should be: the iron remains just a lump of soft iron.

(And yes, I am using the hammer.)

thank you thank you for the reports...sorry i was under pressure and rushed posted this update. I fixed the forge i messed up making all the hammers work universally, they work now which fixes the forge and building with any hammer.

PLEASE RE-DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE...again I am very sorry I rushed this but we will get through it

you can copy your SAVE over to the "saves" folder to continue your current game.

There is a problem with graphic (eg black terrain) when you minimize the game and then return to it. Saving the state with "defective graphics" cause, that after loading bad graphic stays. Maybe it is the fault of the original Stranded, but it's a little annoying problem. I would be very grateful if you, JJ, will be able to resolve it.

And the second problem with lagging on PC's with good hardware. Nothing more to say.

The Survivalist introduced a lot of very interesting changes that allow much more use out of the game. Thanks a lot for these. I hope you will stll develope it, because it has great potential.

EoDemi,
Welcome! glad you guys are liking the game!

g-ryznar...if you click the other icon "TheSurvivalist -win.bat" you can run the game in a window and that problem will be null...but AltTab out of the game has always been a problem for different operating systems, with black terrain.

the only other thing to do would be to save your game first...tab out...and re-load it when you tab back in.


To All,
Re-Downloading the Update 12_25_2013 from page 1 or my signatures, will fix the following new bugs. Should be bug free now. Sorry to all who had to re-download more than once

√Laggy game play after 1-2 days sleeping.
√Hammer hitting soft iron/steel to craft not working.
√Wrong temperature displaying in seasons.
√Frostbite in winter not cured at fire.

You can copy your "save" from the saves folder over, to cotinue your current game.

I know about that metod, but is it possible to completely eliminate this problem?

And suggestion connected with seasons: current system doesn't match to climat in which grow eg banana trees. It will be better, if it will occur only dry and the rainy season (like in book about R. Cruzoe). What do you think?

It's not your hardware that's the issue, it's the code. I can play "Far Cry 3" beyond full graphics and on 1080p with no lag whatsoever (~45fps), but even on low graphics Stranded will still lag. Not much you can do about that, except maybe wait for Stranded 3, which is being written in a more modern language...

Being a native of the sub-tropics, I think he's saying that having 4 seasons is unrealistic. There are only 2 seasons in the tropics/subtropics - wet and dry. It's either raining everyday or the forests are on fire. I haven't played through a full game on the new version to make any comment on the actual application of the seasons yet, though...

Not sure what went wrong in my scripts, they worked fine on 6 maps in a row then stopped altogether. One solution to custom maps would be to simply place 'the watchmaker' by hand when making the map, but having to manually place something so vital to the game mechanics seems silly to me. So I took out the part from game.inf and replaced it with a simple spawn script. I also added the 'changeday' section from game.inf, which seemed to be the only part of that file not being accessed by custom maps. (aside from the watchmaker script, obviously - all the skill scripts seem to work fine) The only problem I see with this method is the chance of more than 1 'watchmaker', though the script only places 1 and it's not on the randomfill list, I assume, so it should only be a problem if one was placed manually.

Refer to previous post - your pc's specs have little to do with that.

Anyways, I made a map using those scripts I posted. This took less than 30 minutes to make and is intended to be identical to a random island on normal difficulty, in terms of game-play. The map itself is an archipelago with 2 large islands and 14 small ones. I used the largest map size, so be advised, you'll get occasional lag spikes even on a supercomputer...

http://www.mediafire.com/download/ku2y61xhz9w62oo/archipelago.s2

That will only run on the current (xmas) version of Survivalist. To play, place that in your maps folder and activate the single island option in game.inf. (like this: menu_singleplayer=1) Then load it using the single island option that's now on your menu.

Okay I read all the above and consider everything posted great input. Thank you. I will elaborate on some of it when I think about things some more.

note:
I have never had lag on SII or this mod. I run it on 1024x768 and sliders set on Medium with the View Range set to max very high. All check boxes OFF.

If i turn everything up to max high i get a tiny bit of lag but not bad.

sny420...I am only interested in coding the random maps into this mod. Thank you for the additional custom maps info, for those who want to use custom maps.


Update:

So i been playing the game and testing it vigorously for the last couple days. Fixed a few bugs yes...BUT, I found there was still another bug in my 24 hour Time Cycle. It starts to "over-lap" and runs more and more cycles as each day passes. Causing HEAVY lag, and problems with the EVENT animals spawning/despawning.

I HAVE FIXED IT FOR GOOD! (recoded it)

The game runs much smoother now then your last download. I uploaded the update once again with the current fixes, including a few minor things like making anything will give a progress bar, and sound fx attached to crafting, and a kill message when you die telling how many days you survived, with a survival grade. (e.g. A+, B, D+, F)

Please forgive me for the multiple uploads...
FIXED
RE-DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE TO GET THE NO LAG VERSION!
