Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Arcade Mode
Hi all, I would prefer using standard mode. When I die, I may want to come back, change a few settings and then play again.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Arcade Mode
Hi Shaun, That's not correct. You don't get extra ammo or items when playing in arcade mode. The game randomly selects the amount of items that can be located per level regardless of weather you are playing in arcade or standard mode. You can run out of ammo or waist ammo regardless of the mode in question. HTH shaun everiss wrote: I prefur arcade mode definately.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Arcade Mode
Hi Michael and all, I'd like to clarify why I am asking this question. It is not so much a question of possibility, but weather or not keeping arcade mode is in the best interests of the game and for the engine in general. I had numerous problems in the early days of Mysteries of the Ancients spauning your character at the wrong place, the game crashed when spauning, and other bugs here and there throughout the development cycle. I have fixed most of those bugs in the .NET based engine that MOTA was based on, but lacks features of my cross platform game engine which i think is stable enough to begin creating games with. I've been trying out MOTA on it to see how stable it is as well as fix any and all errors in the new engine since Mysteries of the Ancients is a fairly straight forward and easy game compared to the games I plan to create with it later on. My worry is if I start hankying with the engine to add in all the scoring, multiple lives, etc the same bugs and problems I had earlier might come back and screw the engine up in the process. Therefore before i do it I was hoping to see if this was a big feature request, and if spending the next few months possibly debugging an arcade mode was worth it. On the other hand I might be worrying over nothing. As I have arcade mode mostly debugged in the Windows port of the game, as of Beta 4, as long as I follow my logic and code closely I might avoid all prier issues altogether. I just don't know until I do it. I don't want to discurrage anyone from requesting an arcade mode, but wanted you and others to know there is a risk to introducing it into the new engine. Smile.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Arcade Mode
Hi Tom, Standard all the way for me here man. Not got anything against having more than one mode of play in principal, but if arcade is givin you jip as we say here I'd vote to axe it and spend your time adding levels etc instead of an extra mode.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Arcade Mode
Hi Thomas, Yes I can save and load a game now in the demo. I didn't try it as I thought it was only for registered users. I ran out of bullets before reaching the Cyclops but did him in with the combat knife. It took 3 healing potions and leaving the room at the correct times. Another reason arcade mode is not a good idea is that sometimes you get more or less magic objects at random so your total point score is partially a random number.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Arcade Mode
Hi James, Actually, in Beta 4 you start in the last rroom visited, but I know what you mean. I have had nothing but problems and grief with the arcade mode system in Montezuma's Revenge and Mysteries of the Ancients. I only got the issue fixed in Mysteries of the Ancients Beta 4, and even then sometimes it will weird out unexpectedly. This isn't the first time I've thought about yanking the arcade mode out of the game, and now seams like a good time to give the game a clean start. James Dietz wrote: Standard all the way for me.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Arcade Mode
Hi Geremy, Yeah, that's what training mode is for. I disabled it in Mysteries of the Ancients because of the arcade mode aspect of the game, but if I used strictly standard mode I would also allow players to use the engine's built in training mode with it. That way you could learn basic navigation, learn how to target, etc without being attacked by enemy creatures. Though, some traps like falling into a fire, lava pit, whatever would still be dangerous.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Arcade Mode
Hi Phil, Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't I lift the save game restriction in Beta 4? I am pretty sure I did, because I use it quite often when playing in standard mode. Anyway, as you say with the save game feature there isn't as much need for an arcade mode. Although, there may be some gamers who like playing strictly for points. That's why I am throwing this out there to see who plays for points, and those who really don't care about scoring. Smile.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Arcade Mode
I mainly use arcade mode when I am trying to figure out how to play Mota. But recently, I have just been playing first person mode, now that I have a better handle on how the game is layed out. For me, having arcade mode is not a must, but I will admit it helps when trying to figure out a game since you don't have to restart from the main menu everytime you die.

Re: [Audyssey] westfront pc
Greetings Ron. Yes, I've used the decompiler with the wfpc.hlp file. You have to use it in a command shell, like thus: 1. Open the run dialog (Windows + R). 2. Type in cmd, then hit Enter or click the OK button. 3. In the resulting command prompt, type the following command: cd PathToTheDecompiler *To make entering the path to the decompiler easier, navigate into the folder where the "HELPDECO.EXE" file resides, then copy the path from the address bar. Next, return to the command prompt and type cd, followed by a space. Right click the command prompt's title bar and click the Paste menu command under the Edit submenu. Windows will paste the path in where your cursor resides. Hit enter. 4. Now type: helpdeco c:\wfpc\wfpc.hlp *This is assuming you installed WFPC to the default location. If not, correct the path as needed. You should now have a wfpc.rtf file, plus several other bitmap (bmp) files. You can safely delete the bitmap items. For your convenience, I've uploaded a wfpc.txt file to Sendspace. It is the wfpc.rtf file from the above steps, down converted to a text file.

Re: [Audyssey] westfront pc
Hi Kai I tried it and for whatever reason it just didn't work for me. Paul who I emailed also said that the .hlp was the only help file available. Bummer. Do you use the decompiler? I'd like to read the actual help sometime. Probably make the gameplay much easier.

Here's a free decompiler for windows help files. The program is a command line utility, and it will extract to RTF format. http://www.helpscribble.com/decompiler.html Kai - Original Message - From: "Ron Schamerhorn" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Sunday, April 26, 2009 11:36 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] westfront pc > Just wish the help file was in a plain text file.
