Re: [Audyssey] Getting my butt royally kicked in MOTA
Hi Phil, Good question. At the moment the only way you know what weapon it has is when it attacks you. If it has a bow you hear a bow and arrow. If it has a dagger you hear the dagger. If it uses a sword you hear a sword slash. I don't think adding it to the sound descriptions menu will help because there is no way of knowing before you get attacked what type of skeleton, zombie, etc you are facing. Of course, in mainstream games they have a number of visual ways of presenting this kind of information. For example, If the enemy were a mage or wizard they will change the color of the enemy's robes to help you identify what class of enemy you are fighting. In other cases you can simply see if it has a sword, dagger, knife, bow, whatever and there is no question what kind of weapon it has.

Re: [Audyssey] Getting my butt royally kicked in MOTA
Hi Charles, Yes. One of my complaints with the random generation of things is that it was too easy to cheat. You could save a game enter a room, find a centaur or something in there, load your saved game, and get a different monster to fight. You could do this any number of times to litterally cheat your way through the game. The way I am doing random generation now you won't be able to use saved games to cheat. If you enter a room with a centaur, reload your saved game, he'll still be there to fight. This will add challenges and prevent someone from cheating. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Getting my butt royally kicked in MOTA
Hi tom. Brilliant, I love extra monsters. Well as I said though, you could always cheat a litle as far as sounds go. For instance, right now your skeletons just attack with swords. mix in the bow sound from the centaurs, and you have skeletal archers, or lower the pitch of the harpies a bit to create bronze harpies which are tougher and faster. This way you can get more mileage out of the sounds you have, and create some fun monsters into the bargain. Beware the grue!

I'm planning on rewriting the random item and monster code to allow me to create level specific monsters and things like that. At the moment I'm short on sounds to actually do this justice, but the option will be available if I want to add something like spiders on some levels and say harpies on another etc. I will have that option once I finish rewriting the random code.

Re: [Audyssey] Getting my butt royally kicked in MOTA
Hi Hayden, Oh, in that case I don't suppose you want to know about the fact there is a new trap on level 1. One that wasn't in previous MOTA betas. It is mmm... well... tricky to get past if you aren't quick. That is assuming you survive the battle with the Lamia. Oh, and if you would like to know Angela just got killed by the Lamia. I wasn't quite quick enough of getting out of the way before she shot a poisoned arrow through Angela's heart. Angela's quite dead, and has to wait for me to restart the game to come back to life. How's that for challenging, eh? Grin.
