Re: [Audyssey] MOTA beta 8
Hi Phil, well, I don't think a knife will be necessary at this point. Last night I began working on hand to hand combat code for Mysteries of the Ancients beta 9. If you press the spacebar with your weapons holstered Angela will begin throwing kicks and punches at the nearest enemy creature in range. I just finished working on the hand to hand fighting code a little while ago, and am now trying it on for size. It isn't too bad with the amazons and skeletons, but it takes a lot to take down a centaur, and I haven't even dared try to take on Kerberos yet with hand to hand only.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA beta 8
Hi Ryan, Thanks for the bug report. At this point i'm not sure what more I can do to fix it. Something is flipping the trigger for the sound, and there doesn't seam to be a way of disabling it So that is going to be a toughy to solve. As for giving you the dagger to start with I'm not going to do that, but I do have plans on adding fists to a future update. I've had so many requests for that particular feature I'm going to do it sometime between now and the final release. Just not sure exactly when it will get added. As far as jumping over enemies it is difficult to do it without being hit. After all if you jump over a skeleton there is still a chance he will swing his weapon upwards and graze you while you are in the air. Centaurs likewise can still hit you with a fireball while you are jumping, but only with much less accuracy.

I'm not going to argue about it or anything, I just think it's logical. Can we at least start with the dagger, so we have something to defend ourselves with when we run out of amo? The dagger is the weakest of the weapons, so I don't think it's a big deal. I still can't understand how you jump over the enimies, I've tried it several times, and I always get killed, or at least half of my health gets taken away. I really don't care if you change it or not because I've already beaten the game, and eagerly awaiting new levels. I just think having the dagger makes sense. Kind of like Shades of doom.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA beta 8
Well I don't think you're going to be jumping over enemies without taking any damage until you get really good. It is possible to do, I've done it a few times but I've always lost a few health points in the process. You have to be kinda quick.

[Audyssey] MOTA beta 8 thoughts
The sound problems with the low health still being in the menus has been squashed. On my machine, although I do not know why, the game seems to be reacting faster than in beta 7. The keyboard seems to be more responsive. Are the monsters more difficult to defeat? Yes. Are they more bothersome and troublesome? Yes. Replay value? You betcha! No, I have not beaten the game. I like it anyway. I cannot get through level 1, and the beta testers should have fun when more levels are added. Hopefully, those levels won't cause more bugs to delay this great game's release.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA beta 8
Hi Charles, Well, I primarily dropped joystick and mouse support for a couple of reasons. First, the code really needed to be rewritten anyway so that I can redesign it so the joysticks can be remapped by the end user. In other words if a certain gamer has joystick x he or she can go into the game and reconfigure it to work with their prefered settings rather than using the defaults I supplied. Second, the joystick and mouse was partly responcible for the jumping bug i fixed. You see if you tried to jump with a joystick or mouse you would not stop until you hit a wall. When I fixed that nasty bug it caused a bug with the jump command and the keyboard. Well, in order to fix the problem with the jump command and the keyboard we had the same problem with the joystick we had before. In the end I decided it it was just better to pull the joystick and mouse support until I had time to work on the problem at my leasure. As I have said several times today I'm now working on a time table to hopefully complete 1.0 before the holidays. As a result I don't want to leave any serious bugs behind, make the game as stable as it can be , without having any unnecessary delays. Once 1.0 is out and I have time to work on these extra features weather it is hand to hand combat, joysticks, or whatever I'll do so here and there as I find time. Smile.
