Adding LOH (Line Of Hearing)

<< < (2/2)

Thomas:
It's easier with headphones... I guess if the speakers were on each side of you so you knew what was left and what was right.

Turgor:
heh yes i was just gonna edit that in.. my audio system isn't exactly "lightweight" too btw.. ;)

but still, if you just have you left speaker to your left, and your right speaker to your right, it should be enough imo..

Glowie:
I think the ? sign appearing on the screen wouldn't be that bad if implemented correctly. A new command for listening: every time you use it there would be a certain chance to hear something (and there could be talents to improve this skill). You couldn't always hear anything or sometimes only partially so the ? wouldn't be on the exact spot of the enemy.

This skill would be pretty valuable on the later levels. Sneaking past enemies, attacking only one at a time and such if your ammo/health kit amount is low.

And the manually targeting monsters out of line of sight wouldn't be a problem. I think I heard somewhere that Kornel is going to delete that feature (damn!). Though this isn't 100% sure, I just recall hearing about it.

Also roguelikes usually don't have sounds so I think it would be good to have non-sound hearing system too. I often listen to music when playing DoomRL so I don't hear the sounds always :)

Obscillesk:
I dunno, LOH seems like it would make cateye worthless, even though the new version is supposed to fix all that

Kornel Kisielewicz:
Bad idea, IMHO.
