Re: [Audyssey] sounds in MOTA - Re: Bug in MOTA.
Hence why I said this would be a little odd for arrows. Its not realistic but it's the only way I can think of for arrows to pan. Moot point though since Thomas has already said he won't do anything like this in the near future. -- From: "Charles Rivard" Sent: Saturday, March 07, 2009 11:04 AM To: "Gamers Discussion list" Subject: [Audyssey] sounds in MOTA - Re: Bug in MOTA.

Bah. Sorry for the double post, forgot to answer the second part of this. For panning, what I was thinking of is this. Say a harpy tosses a lightning bolt at you. So you hear the lightning sound, only instead of staying stationary and then hearing a pain cry, you hear the bolt pan across the screen to your character so you know how close its getting so you can dodge. If it hits, you hear an electrical explosion as your character yells out. This would be a little odd for arrows, but you could always do what graphic audio does in that situation and give the arrow a kind of high speed propellor or wind sound to signify its flight. It'd make attacks a bit easier to avoid and make them more realistic, in my opinion. Just a suggestion though. -- From: "Thomas Ward" Sent: Friday, March 06, 2009 7:27 PM To: "Gamers Discussion list" Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Bug in MOTA. Hi, As I just mentioned in the previous post there are two reasons why a weapon might not be doing any damage. First, you are too close. If you are too close you can't correctly aim, swing your sword, etc because of lack of room to maneuver in. Second, the enemy is out of range. In that case you flat out miss because it is too far away to hit. As far as your panning suggestion can you explain further? I'm afraid I'm not sure exactly what you are suggesting/asking. As for ducking I know it is fairly messed up. I've tried, but can't exactly get it right. If I don't resolve it soon I'm strongly considering just scrapping the duck command altogether. That's how annoyed I am with it right now. Grin.

At the moment it just sounds odd, you hear the attack go off, then the character just randomly yells out, haha. Its kind of amusing, but makes getting into any kind of rhythm a bit tough. Also every once in a while crouching seems to disable itself, if you hold it down you'll crouch a bunch in rapid succession, but if you try to time it, sometimes crouch just outright doesn't work and you end up taking a hit before you can crouch again. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

You hear those twirling arrows when midevil arrows are being shown, i don't think they flew straight like todays arrows but of course I might be wrong. - Original Message - From: "Charles Rivard" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Saturday, March 07, 2009 1:04 PM Subject: [Audyssey] sounds in MOTA - Re: Bug in MOTA.
