Are the Sheathes/Armor pieces from a mod? I haven't been able to find them in the stock game.

[Thomason1005]

aight so one things about the dialogues that bothers me since it was included:

the pathes which link to the dialogue txt file are absolute in the xml p.e. C:\Steam\steamlibrary\SteamApps\Common\Overgrowth\Data\etc.
i think they really should be relative as all others are
might need some lines of code but it works with all other objects that are loaded

Seeing these progress videos makes me unreasonably happy. I really love the work being done here, and this update in particular has so many wonderful little pieces of polish will go a long way to making it feel really full and complete.

Hey there, I've owned this game for years, but never was a faithful community contributor, so I'm not sure if this is a terribly good place to see if I could get some help, but it appears whenever one dies or kills a player carrying a knife, which is then disarmed, it throws up this error and the client closes. It is a little irritating, but understandable. I'll file a full bug report, too. Below is the error prompt that opens:

There is no movement object -1
Called from:
Data/Scripts/enemycontrol.as lone 1638 "vec3 GetDodgeDirection()"
Data/Scripts/aschar.as line 2800 "void

Thanks!

Found two bugs, both related to fullscreen mode:

#1: When the game starts in windowed mode and you then switch to fullscreen, attaching weapons will no longer work. Attaching objects to characters works fine, though.
If the game launches in fullscreen mode, everything works fine.

(#2: Once the game is in fullscreen mode, you cannot exit it through the game settings. As soon as you exit the settings by clicking on the X symbol, the game will switch back to fullscreen. The only way to go back to windowed mode is to change the config file.)
Scratch that. Had my game in a resolution half the size of my screen and forgot that I had to hit OK and not just close the settings window.

EDIT: Regarding #1, it also only worked if when I tried it with the maximum resolution available for me (1536 x 864). Anything lower would make attaching weapons impossible in fullscreen.

Also, #3, at lower resolution the cursor icon and the actual cursor position seem to be offset in fullscreen.

Nice
