[Game] Exile v0.3.18

[Dokimi]

GIVE THEM MONEY Y'ALL!

Seriously, they deserve it. :-)

I am so impressed with how much work they've all put into this project.

I never dreamed Exile would still be going this long. My own circumstances are better now than when I started this project ~4yrs ago, so if you want to support me as project founder, ... I don't know... I guess just promote or support any other projects you see me doing ;-)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apologies to the team if anyone has been attempting to ask me questions somewhere and I've totally missed them. I'm a bit occupied by other matters. It's been a little while since I've looked at, or even played Exile.

I had a very quick look at Land of Bugs, and see some big changes. Interesting. Version 4 is coming!

Keep it up guys. Again, I'm so impressed by all the work.

Honestly I want to see Exile top the site at some point, wanna see what I can change and do for it to be optimal for all folk :D

Ah pretty fair @Dokimi business gets us on randommmmmm

I am new to Exile, in multiplayer, how do you change from/to male/female?

[Mantar]

Currently, use /respawn or get yourself killed. Every time your current Exile dies, you get a new Exile to play.
I plan on adding a spawn screen which will allow you to select an Exile to play, but it's a low priority; as per the design document, we want to encourage people to learn how to deal with whatever life throws at them rather than just hand them exactly what they want at the push of a button like other games. (Dokimi felt Exile should try to be a positive influence on players, rather than just yet another addictive Skinner box)

I found that Exile has a translation platform on Codeberg Translate. But it is very wrong?
The entire contents of the .tr files is just pasted in here. And those can be really large.
For example, in lore, the only "string" is 1000 lines long.

This is NOT how it's supposed to work. Because if only one string in a TR file changes, that marks the entire list invalid in Weblate. And in general it defeats the whole point of having a translation platform because the very purpose of Weblate is to make translation pain-free.

Weblate should display each string separately. Look how Minetest does it.

I recommend to lock the translation component for now, until this matter is resolved. If you have any problems or questions on how to make this *actually* work, or if you are stuck at any point, please let me know! Because I have experience with this kind of stuff.

Yeah it was in separate strings before using weblate's "plain text" setting, but I had to reload everything last month as there was some kind of problem, and now it's all glommed together for some reason. The trends page shows the number of strings has gone down "100%" in the past 30 days.
I'll see if I can get it corrected.

Edit: Corrected, it should have been "joomla translation file" not "plain text." I'm not sure how that got changed when I was fixing it before, but it's back to showing each string separately. "Joomla" is a simple key=value format, basically identical to our *.tr files
