Cataclysm-dda: Whaley's Mods

[cosmiccoincidence]

All of Whaley's locations have now been added to the game but I will leave this space for people to discuss the possibility of adding his other mods as well, either into the vanilla game or as official mods.
What should and should not be added?

1. Whaley's Arts and Crafts - Allows the player to widdle (carve from wood) several figurines (mostly
for trading) and smoking pipes (for smoking from).
Includes...

• 16 craft-able figurines
• 13 craft-able pipes

2. Whaley's Cassettes - Adds audio cassettes and a cassette player. Playing a cassette gives the player an
audio message (making noise) with similar flavor as survivor notes.
Includes...

• 72 unique audio messages

3. Whaley's Weird World - Adds weapons, ammo, items, monsters, and locations.
Includes...

• pink mist (monster - a whirling ball of pink mist with a small solid mass in the center)
• entomber (monster - a constantly changing mass of muscle and flesh, a thick cloud of choking gas surrounds it)
• blood beast (monster - a pulsing blob of flesh, covered in tentacles and holes leaking blood)
• blood worm (monster - a large red blood worm with a gaping maw filled with rows of teeth)

• alien gun & alien ammo (weapon - a phase/energy handgun engineered by grey aliens)
• blood worm eggs (item - an unappetizing food, dont let is spoil or it might hatch into a mass of blood worms)
• CIA documents (item - classified documents with information pertaining to classified projects)
• CIA flashlight (tool - a self powered flashlight)
• alien instrument (artifact (tool) - a musical instrument engineered by grey aliens, emits a calming gas)
• bone violin (artifact (tool) - a sinister musical instrument made of bloody bones and skin, it leaks blood when played and grants the player a strength buff while making them go a bit crazy)
• golden hand (artifact (tool) - an addictive weapon that saps life from enemies you hit and reduces intellect)
• crystal eyeball (artifact (tool) - a radioactive crystal eye that gives clairvoyance (see through walls at short distances) but lowers strength and makes the player glow)
• glowing lighter (artifact (tool) - a lighter with snakes printed on it, it glows but nerfs the players dexterity and speed and has a small chance to spawn an inter-dimensional snake when the player is struck)
• bloody chainsaw (artifact (tool) - an addictive weapon that increases strength while used but makes the player a bit crazy and suffer withdraws after use)
• glass spider (artifact (tool) - a small figure granting the player a speed and dexterity buff, perception nerf and causes the player to make a lot of noise)

Could you please describe what are the features of daycare, thrift store and veterans of foreign wars store?

Added Whaley's non-location mods and new "weird world" mod for discussion at the bottom as well as descriptions for the locations requested by Pryanik.

If u merge lets say the boats mod he does what happens to peeps actually running the mod like me.

Will I get a warning of double content or

Thanks. :)

I'm against adding Weird World neither to vanilla nor the official mods. That's just another content pack that doesn't fits the Cata theme that one can download separately if he is interested.

[cosmiccoincidence]

@stk2008 I'm not sure if it will give a warning or not, It _should_ work regardless, but I can't 100% guarantee that.

And, I wouldn't say the "Weird World" mod is completely out of cata lore, as cataclysm already has scifi gadgets, scifi monsters, artifacts, etc. The main thing I think that _is_ out of lore though is probably the aliens, and it's possible to add just some of the content of that mod into the game, while excluding the non-lore-friendly content. That being said, I simply included it for discussion for now.

If anything, a portion (all/most/some) of the "Weird World" could fit right in with Crazy Cataclysm.

Step 4 adds a zoo and I think with this new location a good addition would be a zoo keeper profession. It's not something I'm going to work on right now but thought I'd share the idea.

I think it's absolutely great, that we merge and balance map locations and buildings to vanilla. It's terrible confusing, even to the seasoned player, to chose and manually add the various buildings mods like "more locations", "more buildings", etc etc...

I think, if they fit the cata universe, they should just be merged. The more, the better, considering it's well made.

I personally have been trying various mapgen configs and mods to see what the overmap looks like. So this is just my 2 cents.

Unfortunatelly I don't fell confident to mess up with github to contribute to the PR's yet. But I'll keep a close look on all this!

Thank's everybody for the love and work to the game.

Should be no issues.

No discussion in over half a year, closing.
