Re: [Audyssey] Any MOTA Beta 8 feedback?
Well i'd recommend it extremely! Background and story, a huge! range of in game activities to perform,a a system so balanced it's almost extreme, oh and no! pvp! You can buy mechs and battle them, but that's really just a minigame. no guild wars, no getting slaughtered by higher players, it's fantastic, until the raiders rogues pirates and bounty hunters do their thing anyway, ;D. Basically, imagine smugglers four as a continually updating, extremely well put together mmorp instead of a short, progressive completable single player game and you have Core exiles. The only miner downer is the lack of labled immages. In most cases this just means counting making extra certain you click on the right item, - but in the case of the threat wrating shown of various ships which is at the moment only graphical it is quite irritating, sinse you end up just having to learn the ship types and make guesses based on their tonnage, which can be tricky.

Re: [Audyssey] Any MOTA Beta 8 feedback?
sounds cool. if testing does come up or you get a position let me know. Ofcause who knows if I will still be open, I am on about 2 smallish projects that are no big deal. however the big vidio game project has not started that is none of the testers have got work yet, so it may mean that for a bit I will be closed for business. Ofcause if I am on a job for small things I probably could fit it in but for bigger things, well that may be delayed by a little. hopefully not by much.

Hi, Ah, that helps bounches. Now I understand. Thanks - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Friday, October 16, 2009 10:44 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Any MOTA Beta 8 feedback? Hi Kevin, Well, first of all, the game is constantly undergoing changes. Not just the game but the manual, sound effects, speech files, etc. As a result some files might be added, some removed, and the directory structure might change slightly between releases. The net effect is that if you install or upgrade one version over another there is going to be a bunch of extra junk left over that isn't being used, and is just waisting space. Not to mention successive upgrades can cause problems that might not show up in a clean install. As it happens you probably don't know even Microsoft recommends that you perform a clean install of Windows instead of running the Windows upgrade cd when upgrading to a new full release of Windows. However, they do offer the upgrade cds simply because some people aren't able to do a complete install on their own, or there is some technical reason like they need special drivers that aren't provided with the full retail version. Still that doesn't undermine the fact it is usually better to do a fresh install of Windows when upgrading rather than to buy the upgrade cd. Anyway, as a developer I always live by "it is better safe than sorry." Most developers know upgrading is bad, a clean install is best, so that is what I make my testers do. As far as the setup tool I use, Inno Setup, it can do upgrades, but I've noticed it doesn't always work correctly.I've personally seen times where it fails to overwrite some file, for some reason or other, and that ends up generating a nasty bug in the game you wouldn't have had if it was just installed clean. So that reason is just one more example why upgrading an existing installation can be bad.

Re: [Audyssey] Any MOTA Beta 8 feedback?
Hi, Yes indeed. I've already been drafting some notes for Tomb Hunter II, which will be in Egypt next time round, and it will be a full blown FPS adventure complete with mummies, skeletons, spiders, etc among other things. You might even get to take a crack at the evil god Set.

Re: [Audyssey] Any MOTA Beta 8 feedback?
Hi Bryan, I changed the enemy weapons for a couple of reasons. For starts the amazons were suppose to be good with a bow, and prefered it over a knife, sword, dagger, whatever. So it makes logical sense the amazons in this game should have a bow and arrow as their default weapon of choice. As for giving the centaurs fireballs you can blame that on Tomb Raider. In the first Tomb Raider game, the one released in 1997, there is this one area guarded by a couple of majorly tough centaurs that throw fireballs at Lara Croft. Not only do the fireballs do considerable damage the centaurs are harder to kill than most of the other enemies in the game. In a sense they are like miner bosses in that game. Anyway, inspired by that Tomb Raider level I've been thinking of sort of using that idea in my own game. After all Edos Interactive can hardly scream copyright infringement over a fireball throwing centaur. It is too common, too generic, for them to scream over. Smile. Bryan Peterson wrote: I was surprised as well. I downloaded it right away. As for me I liked the changes, although I wondered why the weapon changes for the Amazons and Centaurs.

As a result what we got is something of a 80's side-scroller that acts more and more like a modern FPS game. If people wanted an FPS game instead of a classic side-scroller I'm not sure why they just didn't request one instead of me creating a classic side-scroller, and then requested that I bring it up to more modern standards.

There also doesn't seem to be any consistency in the order that things are announced. Perhaps the most productive order of announcements would be to give you the closest object first in the direction you're facing when you hit v, followed by the item next farthest etc, then a repeat performance for the items behind you. To maximise the productivity of having this style of view command instead of a menue I think you'll definitely need a key to interupt speech. I couldn't find one in the users guide. 2. I like the game being harder as it has been in the last few betas, but it seems very odd to me that Angela can run totally out of ammo and not have any short range less powerful item such as a combat knife or her fists to fall back on. Not trying to make the game too much easier as there'd be a big damage diference between a gun and her fists for sure, I'm thinking more of realism. 3. Enemies still don't ever follow you from room to room. It's very possible to enter a room, take a pot shot at a nasty thing, step back a couple steps and have a cup of tea, and although I'm only on the other side of an open door Mr Nasty never thinks to follow me through. It's not a game play strategy I'd use much, but I found it's easy to use this strategy to pick off everything if you're dangerously low on ammo, and it cripples the difficulty and realism factors. On a more positive note, the last few goes at the game I just had were using my new in-ear monitors and it made me re-realise just how awesome the music and sounds are!

Re: [Audyssey] Any MOTA Beta 8 feedback?
Hi Simon, That is not a bug. The number of sword swings you get depends on how much strength you have to use the sword. Since the sword is rather heavy it requires more strength than say a dagger. Angela's strength acts as a type of ammo for swords, daggers, and if I add fists those too. Bottom line, if your strength is low use the g command to see how much strength Angela has. After a few seconds it will go back up to 100%, and you can use the sword, dagger, etc again. In other words none of your weapons has unlimited attacks. One way or another you have to have some sort of ammo weather it is bullets, arrows, or plane old ordinary strength. simon dowling wrote: hi tom, I think there may be a slight bug when using a sword, I ran out of swings, so I drew it again I got one more swing out of it and if I holstered in the scabbard, I could get 2 swings out of it. sadly not the same with ammo weapons lol. http://www.secretsthatwekeep.com/003 Simon --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Any MOTA Beta 8 feedback?
Hi Phil, Thanks. As for panning arrows and fireballs it really isn't practical from a programming standpoint. If an enemy is 25 feet away, to your left, it might reach you in say 250 milliseconds. That means I have to update the fireballs sounds every 10 milliseconds. That is rather processor intensive just for a "wow" effect. I tend not to waist processor speed and performance that way even if it would sound cooler. As for the wooden staircases I'll see what I can do about those.You are right someone should be able to see them with the view command, and there should be an entry in the sound descriptions menu. Although, like the hand to hand suggestion I'll put it towards the bottom of the todo list for the time being as I think the registration system and adding more levels should come first. Smile. Phil Vlasak wrote: Hi Thomas, It took me quite a while to finish on the beginners level as I got killed frequently. I do like the new view command but still find the wooden staircase missing from both the view function and the sound review feature. The view makes it easier to get close to those flames before jumping. I find it a little disconcerting that with the view I can take three steps and still be a meter away. I know the distance rounds off but it would be nice for distances closer than a meter to be in centimeters, such as 10 centimeters, six centimeters, 3 centimeters, etc. With arrows and flaming balls thrown at you it also would be nice to hear the sound pan from the creature to you.

As a result what we got is something of a 80's side-scroller that acts more and more like a modern FPS game. If people wanted an FPS game instead of a classic side-scroller I'm not sure why they just didn't request one instead of me creating a classic side-scroller, and then requested that I bring it up to more modern standards. Anyway, I'm glad you really like the game. it has been a long tough two years since I started on it, and I am more than ready to just get it done and over with. I always put my best into a project even if it isn't something I personally would have designed on my own. Smile. Scott Chesworth wrote: Hi Tom, Just upgraded here. Great work fixing the jump bug, movement feels way more natural to me now. I've only played a few rounds so far but haven't been able to make the torch or heavy breathing carry back over to the menues yet either, so far so good with squashing that bug. Three things for ya: 1. The new view method, I'm not sure it's any more productive. In a room with a lot of objects such as two fires to jump and a door plus whatever else might be there randomly generated, it takes a long time to listen through just to find out how far you are away from something. There also doesn't seem to be any consistency in the order that things are announced. Perhaps the most productive order of announcements would be to give you the closest object first in the direction you're facing when you hit v, followed by the item next farthest etc, then a repeat performance for the items behind you. To maximise the productivity of having this style of view command instead of a menue I think you'll definitely need a key to interupt speech. I couldn't find one in the users guide. 2. I like the game being harder as it has been in the last few betas, but it seems very odd to me that Angela can run totally out of ammo and not have any short range less powerful item such as a combat knife or her fists to fall back on.
