To be honest tom, currently there isn't enough Mota for me to tell either way, sinse currently bsaving hasn't become a factor. Perhaps with later levels it might prove better, but at the second I just dont' know. Beware the Grue! Dark. - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Friday, May 01, 2009 6:19 PM Subject: [Audyssey] MOTA Arcade Mode Hello Listers, I have a real quick question for some of you Mysteries of the Ancients fans. Over the passed few days/weeks I have been involved in performing a major upgrade of Mysteries of the Ancients. As the work I am doing is largely experimental I don't want to say too much about the work as yet. Although, I think if it pans out it will be a big step forward with the game, and possably will resolve several issues with the game. That said, here is the deal. I've been porting MOTA over to a newer version of the Genesis Engine, and so far so good. Thing is since Genesis is primarily for First Person style games I never put an arcade mode in the main Genesis Engine. It was strictly an addition to the modified engine for Mysteries of the Ancients. Obviously I can add an arcade mode to the Genesis Engine, make it a standard feature, but I'm not sure if that is necessary. So I am going to ask this question. When playing Mysteries of the Ancients do you prefer arcade mode or standard mode when playing? Thanks. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Arcade Mode
Hi, Hmmm...I find that interesting too. I generally find arcade mode too easy because if you die you start at the last room visited with full health, etc. It gives you more than one try to get through the level.

Thanks Casey -- From: "Thomas Ward" Sent: Friday, May 01, 2009 1:19 PM To: "Gamers Discussion list" Subject: [Audyssey] MOTA Arcade Mode Hello Listers, I have a real quick question for some of you Mysteries of the Ancients fans. Over the passed few days/weeks I have been involved in performing a major upgrade of Mysteries of the Ancients. As the work I am doing is largely experimental I don't want to say too much about the work as yet. Although, I think if it pans out it will be a big step forward with the game, and possably will resolve several issues with the game. That said, here is the deal. I've been porting MOTA over to a newer version of the Genesis Engine, and so far so good. Thing is since Genesis is primarily for First Person style games I never put an arcade mode in the main Genesis Engine. It was strictly an addition to the modified engine for Mysteries of the Ancients. Obviously I can add an arcade mode to the Genesis Engine, make it a standard feature, but I'm not sure if that is necessary. So I am going to ask this question. When playing Mysteries of the Ancients do you prefer arcade mode or standard mode when playing?

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Arcade Mode
Hi Tom I'd go with if arcade is going to present alot of difficulty then don't worry about it. The engine you are working on sounds great As for MOTA if arcade becomes not an option then so be it.

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. Standard is only good if you can be assured of a real good supply of amo, and if you can make every shot count. Arcade mode means you have a little more leeway. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

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
I prefur arcade mode definately. Standard is only good if you can be assured of a real good supply of amo, and if you can make every shot count. Arcade mode means you have a little more leeway.

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 Bryan, That makes two of us. I generally like standard mode over arcade most of the time myself. Bryan Peterson wrote: I have played Arcade a few times but I definitely prefer standard mode.

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. Phil Vlasak wrote: Hi Thomas, I have been using arcade mode only because it gives you three lives. Once I learned the layout and what to expect in each situation, I have been dying less often. With a registered version the saving and playing saved games would make the arcade mode less important. So I could be happy without arcade. To compensate for the lack of extra lives, I suggest the creatures could do less damage in the easiest difficulty level.

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. But really, it isn't a big deal.
