Announcements / Re: DoomRL 0.9.9 RELEASED!
« on: October 22, 2009, 07:46 »
Hi. It's been a long time since I been here and I got this email saying you have an update of the game and want to check it ou-HOLY CRAP!! IT'S FREAK'N FULL OF AWESOME!
And you got the Gun Kata thing in there too. Good, I though I killed the thread about it =(. Welp, anyway...*downloads and drools*
Btw, I think the gun kata reload effect should be a flying clip to the face with a chance of knockback. The trait you have now makes absolute sense.

They really shouldn't. Not in the original, and really not in here, 'less it's a bug or it's attended for DRL.

There still a gap between exploration, item hunting and alien grinding. What other activities might be available besides the quests that might help. ...pfft. Well, to me not very much. We still got tech that's not implemented yet.
I'll leave y'all guys alone.

Not saying much but how about doing something about the bulldemon knock-back insta retaliate thang. The whole thing is done in one frame so it would help to have some visual, "BullDemon flashing like she's pissed then BOOM!" type deal.

Guess what though...I agree. It's something about hellfire's content that seems more hacked in then fitting in. That's why I though "programmer's addition" would help most of hellfire stuff kinda fit in, but getting that to fit in in the first place without the programmer's addition would help it to. (did that make sense?) Because, uhm... hellfire acts more like a mod then an expansion. The content itself is good, the dungeons, the classes and the extended bestiary. But things like, Lighting Wall, Auric Amulet(let you hold 10,000 gp per slot), most accessible spells that weren't in spellbooks before and the fact that the other dungeons are outside the main one...well.

More notes. I guess I was't through, but still there's more info that might help.
Strategies
Sometimes knowing game strategies are helpful at developing. I ran into some helpful stuff that'll might help...
Do NOT jump into a mob or a arrow fight that'll knock you into stun phase, or it could mean insta-death. When an attack does enough damage, you are stun for a brief moment, but if the next attack is successful wether or not it does high damage, the stun counter is reseted, and you continue to take damage til stun finishes.
Stunning is useful against other foes too to keep it from "return fire", especially annoying fleeing foes thats keep running. That includes range attackers, and those damned hiddens. To get a range attacker close, stand behind the doorway, or around the corner out of LoS, and that fool will walk right up to you. HAMMER HER ASS DOWN!
Game modes, and challenges
What harm will it do to write this down early. It worked so well with DoomRL to have challenges and not to mention game modes that'll come later, this will definitly help DiabloRL in the future. We done discuss the difficulties and the game mode's hardcore, and uhm...everlaster or sumthin'? But how about these cool additions...
Helldiver: Pure Ironman. Shrines are slightly more frequent, namely religious shrines.
Evil This Way Comes: Black deaths are everywhere!
Eternal Desent: A very, VERY, VERY DEEP dungeon! It has an end, but you won't see it no time soon. Oils are availible (a hellfire feature), and are essential to survive. And the mode can combo with Helldiver. That also means a tougher game at nightmare, and oh gosh, hell! "Where body fails, armory prevails."
MiniBoss Parade: Konami's gradius *wink*. Uniques, and their mobs are frequent. Kill unique to open a way down a level.
300: I'm cheating I know =b. It's a mode like when you play multiplayer by yourself (more monsters, more hp). Yea.

DiabloRL / Shout at Diablo
« on: April 07, 2007, 16:19 »
I've been playing the original diablo lately and is quite pissy because I've worked so hard on leveling a sorceror, and can't go to another difficulty (immediately like, like no yippy do-da tricks). Now that it brought back the urge to go back to 'bands and work on N'Deep, I was wondering what's your progress with DiabloRL? Now I've been going through jarulf's manual, and comparing it to actual gameplay (in other words...ya know), I've manage to gather some data that might kickstart ya when you get around to "do the damn thang". Sounds pushy, but they're only notes. That's also include mod-ability ideas, possible multiplayer ideas, such and such and suchery. I've learn to write everything down even if it doesn't fit in with the project in it's current stats.
Diablo vs. Hellfire
This is a "no sh*t" comment, but layoff Hellfire content til most of the bases of diablo is finish. You may already know that Hellfire is a expansion totally outside blizzard (more like Sierra's "mod version"), but if you also coming out with Programmer Edition, it's a good idea to just weed into hellfire content and get what you need and add your own stuff.
Also note that the pace is different between the RL and the real game. DiabloRL is actually faster. So it's good to experiment how making each dungeon area 5 levels big instead of 4 levels would work.
Magic characteristics and Speed
You may be able to add more then basic spells on if you use speed to your advantage, because most spells and it's upgrade are based on speed on cast and in play. Using speed for missles for both magic and arrow can be used as an additional to-hit, on top of using movement from monsters and players as an additional AC (like the one used for doomrl). So you can see an example of chargebolts having high miss rate, and a fireball having high KA-BOOM rate. For in play spells like firewall the damage is calculated by the monster's or player's movement speed. That is, the faster, the less damage and less time over the flamewall tile.
The tricky ones to do are lighting. Now in the diablo game, lighting is treated like a stationary spell effect like firewall, so you can consider it as in play spell. You can either do one of the two things, increase the damage more then normal per spell level and use the speed to calculate damage as you would a firewall, or freeze the player on spell cast for the whole duration as it can work well with flash and inferno.
Guardian and Elemental can be summon spells like Golem spells. Elementals are crazy fast and explodes on impact (just the wall if no enemies in it's los). Guardians are there, spitting til the spell ends.
Lastly Nova Spell, it's definitly a spell that packs a punch the closer the target is to the player. Yea, like you used to draw a radius explosion(using 92 and not 360), so does damages dealt for those tiles with each bolt.
Don't forget the cast speed before the actual cast, as interuptions can play just as big a roll as the actual spell.
Mod it up
I may have posted that you could do both. Have diablo itself inaccessable to browse and edit, and have a mod folder for modded games. If you have been at phrozenkeeps and saw how .mpq files are fixed up, consist of, and stored, maybe you can find some ideas on storing most of your future data. Note that most mods aren't zipped and compressed away, so making diablo know how to read both can be essentual.
On the future of mod-ability which have to be discusses later after that feature is possible, we can make it possible not only be able to edit material, but also add scripts. It will also help to add additional functions, and/or tags for editable data (stuff not used in the game like monster auras, curses, target selections, wilderness, and dungeon locations) for others to tinkled with with their game.
Diablos
Diablo AIN'T diablo without multiplayer. But for possibilities, how would it work for online play? No dought it has to be real-time, but with the importants of speed, we could balance that with the framerate. Spells and arrows can be animated out in real-time during play, but all are faster then on the original game to closely match the single player game. Having tactics can play a huge roll in determining targets when casting, shooting, or even fighting. A quick-fire and quick-cast key are influence directly by tactics choosen. Tactics can be modified by picking target type(demon, undead, creature), hp, level, nonresistant, and distance. It helps to have multiple tactic slot to edit.
That's all I have. I hope to see DiabloRL as big a hit as DoomRL is already...
I'll shut up now.

I rather like regular grenade that you can ricochet of a wall, and it explodes on the next turn. Open door, toss, *BOOM*, peek, get shot in the face...

Berserk! / Re: Possible improvement of skills in Berserk[0.8]
« on: March 05, 2007, 20:29 »
It's all part of the strategy. Skills aren't manitory until you run into the situation that you will naturally, and are most effective to use them. Impale is used if you want to attack and dispatch an enemy ahead of you without having to do additional moves. As with Jump attack is more of attack/evade or attack/aggression tactic where you need to get away at tight situations or blow through your victom in a haste.
Think chess.
To further explain, open Berzerk! and pick Massacre, and then set Strenght 14, Endurance 12, and Dex 12. Distribute the rest to whatever suits your play style, or all on willpower to effectively use the skills later. Now put a point on Running, Impale, and JumpAttack...
While playing, think of your goals, and what you've put on your trusty strategy guide. You want all your enemies in one direction so you don't get surrounded, or get away from a later threat when oppose by a bulldemon or multiple powerhouses. This is where Impale, and JumpAttack comes to play. Know that these skill consume a ton of E so plan wisely ahead of your uses. When surrounded or two bulldemons are coming in your direction, use a jumpattack on the closer enemies that have a space behind it. It's a great "getaway" tactic and luckily will dispatch your enemy in the process. Impale is great for aggression when you score a knockback on one of your meat demon, or are at charging distance.
Play with this idea, and soon, you'll have even more strategy to add to your guide. =1
