There should be a message after opening a locker that turns out to be empty.
("You open the locker. It's empty.")

I agree.

Well, I think the aliens sometimes move 2 cells in one rund - thats why you see them "jumping" the beds.

Kolya:
The problem could be solved and some additional fun gameplay added by making furniture susceptible to weapon damage, eg a few MG rounds or a grenade would destroy a bed.

Ratha:
Compared to what little i played of AliensRL before this new release, its become much more enjoyable to play. Not experiencing the lost ammo bug helps significantly. Like a lot of whats being done, only hope it continues to improve further.

Is there a way to scroll the display window? The look command only looks away from the player at a distance of about 10 squares or so. I run the game windowed in 1024x756, and this can make it a bit more difficult to see where ive been on a floor than if ran at a higher resolution. The lower tower levels appear to be about 80x80 and i can see 30x30 horizontally and 19x19 vertically at my resolution.

Also, is or will it possible to use a tilesets that are not 10x18 in size?

We must be playing two radically different games, in AlienRL i play - there is barely any gameplay, and what is isnt very good. Its boring, it feels extremely empty since you rarely find actual item interaction, its pretty much undocumented (wtf does Gyro do ? manual doesnt say) and way, way too hard.

It amazes me that some people actually won at this. Maybe there is still some vague potential to be found, but compared to DoomRL this is complete shit in terms of pure gameplay. And yet its 0.8 now...boggles the mind.

Oh karry...
