Re: [Audyssey] Swamp, version 1.0b is here
Dakotah, it's like you were listening in on the conversation Kai and I had last night ROFL! The med kit for healing others is actually already in the works. I'm also quite fond of your M60 idea because it would give the ammo a use in 2 weapons, which is what I've been trying to do. When an ammo has a few weapons it can go with, it makes it much more versatile. > Oh my word. I just had a wonderful > idea. > > Ok, say that the sniper rifle, which fires 7.62 nato is > used.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp, version 1.0b is here
I've really liked the idea of adding some kind of sniper rifle in to the game, so odds are it probably will be. As everyone can probably imagine, the game requires development on several fronts so it is difficult for me to spread my efforts out evenly, or in the ways people might prefer. There is a fairly good group of guns right now, so even though I plan to add more I am probably going to move my focus more in to multiplayer missions and such. Some people are still really wanting me to develop the single player, but like I said, it's a balancing act and I can't work on all parts at the same time. I want to have the safe zone become a place where you can turn in weapons and ammo you don't really need, or pick up things that you do. This would let people share to some degree. Because weapons are being saved now, my eventual plan will be to drastically lower the weapon drops, and possibly introduce ways they can be broken, lost, or destroyed. As it stands now, everyone fairly quickly gathers each weapon type and is pretty much set from that point forward. Sharing would be totally useless under the current system. Multiplayer missions will be launched from the safe zone as well. The 2 types of missions I have planned first are going to be rescue and retrieve. In rescue, computer controlled people will be scattered around the map in hiding places. You will locate them, use voice chat to tell them to follow you, and then lead them back to the safe zone. I'm hoping to add in a little bit of story to make it more entertaining when you're asked to go find someone to lead them to the base. Retrieval missions will be centered around the idea that your town's little makeshift fort needs supplies to keep everyone alive. Perhaps a mission will send you looking for gas canisters from the gas station, canned goods from aisle 7 of the Kai-Mart, or flashlights from the hardware store. You'll go out to pick up those items, and then transport them back to the safe zone to get your next mission. Once the missions are in place, I am considering a few more AI improvements for the zombies. I'll keep those to myself for now though. > I'll relay what I was talking about > last night on the game chat. > > I'd like to see a sniper rifle added, or I suppose the > hunting rifle > could be modified, or perhaps there could be a scope that > you find, > like the silencer for the pistol, which is an aiming aid as > discussed. > If the sniper rifle is used, it would fire probably 7.62 > nato or 50 > caliber or something like that, which nothing else > currently uses, > have a one shot capacity, and a fairly long reload time, > but be quite > powerful and loud.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp, version 1.0b is here
Oh my word. I just had a wonderful idea. Ok, say that the sniper rifle, which fires 7.62 nato is used. I was thinking, and another gun hit me that uses the same ammo and would be amazing. The m60 or similar. Yes, there's the m240 saw that uses the 5.56 and is standard now, but the m60 is still in service. Think about it. There's the one shot aim aided sniper rifle and the m60, which if we follow our traditional conventions, will have a doubled ammo capacity of about 100 rounds. It's a powerful gun that makes a lot of noise, just like the sniper rifle, and it'd be great for mowing down zombie hoards. Ok, so that fills 8 and 9 on the keyboard, but what about beloved 0. Well, if we really are trying this hard to make the game cooperative, what about a gun that heals others with medkits as ammo, like a hypodermic air surrenge or something. Say if another player is within just a few coordinates, it autotargets the player and delivers a shot. It's take a little time to reload, and it'd make use of the medkits that people sometimes have extra, plus it'd make working in groups make sense. Perhaps if there're two or more players within range, it could bring up a quick menu to select which one you target. Otherwise, it might just not fire unless you were right on target, meaning it'd have to have an aim aid, which could be coded alongside the sniper rifle's. I'm not trying to run the show, but frankly I think it's a great idea. The snhiper rifle, of which there are several 7.62 issues, the m60, and a medkit using air surrenge. Awesome.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp, version 1.0b is here
I'll relay what I was talking about last night on the game chat. I'd like to see a sniper rifle added, or I suppose the hunting rifle could be modified, or perhaps there could be a scope that you find, like the silencer for the pistol, which is an aiming aid as discussed. If the sniper rifle is used, it would fire probably 7.62 nato or 50 caliber or something like that, which nothing else currently uses, have a one shot capacity, and a fairly long reload time, but be quite powerful and loud. That's why I think it's better to use a sniper rifle than a scope accessory, although the other has its advantages as well.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp, version 1.0b is here
The volume thing sounds like a windows 7 issue if you're using windows 7. It is really bad about automatically deciding if something should be louder or quieter and adjusting the settings for it. You may have noticed this if you were playing music and opened up a skype call. Windows 7 would probably automatically lower the music volume because it assumes you're more interested in hearing Skype. There isn't anything I can do about that though, so you would have to go into the volume settings and tell it not to quiet down the game. So far no one else has reported this particular problem, so I hope that helps. I've added in your coordinate idea. --- On Fri, 11/4/11, Valiant8086 wrote: > From: Valiant8086 > Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Swamp, version 1.0b is here > To: "Gamers Discussion list" > Date: Friday, November 4, 2011, 5:48 PM > Hi. > The first sentence is a suggestion for a way to replay > passed informational messages, things you've picked up, > different area's you've walked through, blahblahblah. > Someone asked for a key to replay the last message, but I > think a buffer to replay through all of them could be nice, > just like with shift period and comma reading chat messages, > or also just putting those informational messages in so that > they appear mixed in with chats would work in a pinch though > it'd be annoying if you're trying to hear what someone > said. > > One thing I'm noticing is, swamp seems to be really quiet > on my computer.

I can just imagine how much fun the hunting rifle would be with liberal use of that scope. That'd put true meaning to being a sniper on there. Last one, I continually encounter monsters and stand trying to kill them for a good while only to finally give up and walk up to them to find out I've been firing at a wall of a building I didn't know was there and the monster is inside. I think if you can code it the best solution for this is to make it sound very quiet like they're a really long ways away, then I'll try to walk toward them, encounter the wall, maybe try to walk around the structure to get to the creature, but find out in doing that they're inside, not just way over on the other side of the structure. It wouldn't be so bad if I knew I was aiming right at them, I just don't know if maybe I'm hitting the wall right next to, and on the far side, of the monster than me, and need to swing one way or the other and give it another try. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi. I think having other messages like get put go into another buffer, or perhaps even the same one, as chat messages would be nice. I was thinking last night that having that area heal a person, very slowly, could be nice too. Sent with Thunderbird 3.1.14 portable.

There are 2 NPC (non-player characters) standing on either side of the building's doorway, who will mow down any zombies who try to get in. I plan to expand upon the safe zone so that it functions more like a common base for everyone. The multiplayer missions will be based here, as well as a way to drop off weapons and ammo so that others can pick them up to use. I'm also considering a system to track everyone's stats, as long as you exit the game from within the safe zone. This prevents people from quickly pressing escape just before being slaughtered by a zombie mob and still having their stats saved. The details are sketchy still. The Zombie types are Normal, Canine, Giant, Tyrant, Stalker, Matriarch, and Reaper. The Canines are fast but weak. The Normals, Stalkers, and Matriarchs are medium health. The Reaper is stronger than a normal zombie, and a bit faster also. The Giant zombies are very strong, but the Tyrants are the brutes to fear the most. They are twice as strong as Giant zombies. I like your idea for a repeat message button. I've written it down so I remember to put it into the next update. HI, Couple of questions: 1. What does the safe zone do? 2. You said there are 3 new types of zombies. Please list all the different types and the differences between them. 3. is it possible to have a key that would repeat what you just picked up?
