Of course, at 99% situations we always use them on self (num '5'). But I see a good usage for sometimes teleport not self, but one of monsters surrounds you. Using medpacks on monsters is not a good idea... but who knows may be we have a pet or some kind of companions in later versions? Or special level with another marine, who must be alive on completing?

Requests For Features / More clear death descriptions
« on: December 03, 2012, 01:03 »
Sorry for my English...

Look:
shoot from RL to nearest wall, mortally damage himself - "killed by a player"
walk in lava lake and die - "killed by a player"

Seems not good.

"He was stupid enough for shooting rocket at his own head"
"...was completely toasted in small lava pool"
"...accidentally dissolved by acid"
"...can't run out of lava emission" - on special flood levels
"...was to slow and frozen to death" - on deadly chill levels

So, IMO more accurate death messages needed. Perfect if 2-turn analyze death conditions "Forget about boots when walking at Hell". "His last medpack was not save his life". And so on.

So, I just playing for fun, neither for new record, nor specially hunting badges. Choose a berserk-MVa run, was too injured for Hell Arena, and do not enter that. That was mean no Arena Master Staff. Past Phobos Anomaly I decide try "Clear Vaults by luck" and start to accumulate phase devices... Missed 4 pieces of hellspawn were Cacodemons at Chained cort, 2 at each of rooms past lava.

AliensRL / Re: [0.8.2|Sc|8|YASD] Game over, man! :(
« on: October 29, 2012, 23:35 »
I think that playing scout as sidearms master is unwinable. Sidearms totally sucks above level 5. Heavy + grenades + pulse rifle. Of course colt .44 really good and praetorians die in 3-4 shots but too rare to find.

Btw, why you do not use grenades??? One grenade can save your life in such situation. RPG - grenade - switch to primary/sidearm and finish them off. Grenade not only damage enemies but also if at close range knokback you away and selfdamage much less then from pack of stalkers.

(some minutes later) understand. You have a withdrawal effect past stimpack, and only one stalker kill you before you can do anything?

The Radiation have no any hazardous effects. May be add some withdrawal-like effects when overdosed?
After-Pain restoration is too fast. In 1 or 2 turns brave marine totally forget about pain.
And add (previous may be not clear):
1. Seems like radiation hurts us slowly? about 1 hp per... 10 turns? Do not measure it, and not sure. May be it was not a radiation but juveniles barely hit me? Next time check it carefully. But ... If we left the radiated area, but have been exposed to radiation, we can not become instantly healthy? And if exist "radiation poisoning" it must be showed. "Radiated!" or something like that.

well I did not spend a lot time in radiated areas and may be not know this mechanics exactly.

2. Pain seems immediately removing when heal up to 100/100. Why? ) pain must go on!

And add: In a dangerous situation, being surrounded by aliens and wounded, or even have a Pain effect first aid kit treats just ridiculous amount of HP :( Why? 1 turn, about 1 second. It is some chemical cure, not bandage or so. Why it heal less?

and one more suggestion:
in Berserk! exist a record of last played game and playback. What about AliensRL? May be not in-game playback, but just outstanding small program for record/replay?

AliensRL / Re: [0.8.2] YAVP - really good game!
« on: October 09, 2012, 00:20 »
Suggestions?

Well, what about dropping ammo/medikits/grenades? And may be add terminals to Storage, at least one on every floor? We can restore power - but that is impossible when no terminals at all.
Colt and shotguns are too rare. If it is a balance requirement then corresponding ammo must be rare to. From other side, Pulse rifles too common and can be found even at Civilian-3.
The Radiation have no any hazardous effects. May be add some withdrawal-like effects when overdosed?
After-Pain restoration is too fast. In 1 or 2 turns brave marine totally forget about pain.
No sound options - can I turn off shooting sounds but hear aliens hissing?

did you by any chance accidentally shoot your own sentry?
In fact I didn't quite understand what happened. - The turret shots 3-4 times, I was shooting in the other direction, got hit, and was pushed to turret. I do not damage that, by shooting. Looks like I sat down on it when knock backed :D

More info about sentry :) Restore situation by mind, have no screenshots
1. Turret ready and firing, I faced elite alien, and praetorian coming

The praetorian destroy turret in one hit ? Or I sat down on it? Unfortunately, at this moment do not read messages - just shoot praetorian, switch to sidearm, kill the elite, reload pistol, switch primary, reload primary - and messages about sentry was gone (if was any)

----------------------------------------------------------------------


As usual, ground floor of Civilian tower did not have any SMGs. I picked up to the basic level Sidearms and then advanced. At this point completely run out of medikits and I decided to go to Medical.
Take a few kits, do about 3 or so laps around the perimeter to get exploration bonus. Level up Fitness. In one of the passages found MP5 and a decent pile of 5.56 ammo. Unfortunately 9mm ammo was low. Go to the store was a long time, and I chose engineering tower next. FN SCAR pile waiting here brave marines - so, I take one (actually, I take anything, grab ammo and drop empty rifles). After a little exploration I got enough experience for level up in Primary weapon. For bullet saving try shoot volleys only at close range, and from 9mm pistol - at distance or finishing off...

Summary of levels 1-2:
Large amounts of .44 ammunition and no Colt.
Heaps of 12g shells and no shotguns.
Too few tools (5 or 6). But has found about 20 sequrity keys.

The most uncomfortable was constantly change one weapon to another. Low 9mm - take FN SCAR. Low 5.56 - take MP5. But I understand purpose of droping something - droping SMGs on passages or near elevators was extremely useful.

 So I decided to visit Military-2 and found pulse rifle. Drop it near elevator, take SCAR, explore Military-2 completely, visit one room in Military-1, then up to Military-3 and ...
...(there could be a long and boring story)...

At 5th level, all the lifts (apart from the elevator in the tower of the military) were broken. Fortunately Technician needs a little for mastering his Tech skill. I remembered the previous attempts and was not going to rise above 5 level through a military. As I understand reading forum, last task will be descend to Civilian-1. So I fix Civilian elevator.
On Engineering-6 I found sawed-off (damage 24L !!! A powerful at close range). Almost immediately after that, I got the Colt .44 - the weapon of my dreams. Good from distance, good at close range, and a lot of ammo. (Btw, lately I think that sawed-off more good because of master Technician reloading bonus...)

The Queen was not extremely dangerous. The most difficult moments were accending to the next floor past level 5 (a random generator create too large group of aliens around the elevators) and exploration the upper floors of the Military-Sequrity-Main towers. Escaping was easy but fun.

AliensRL / Re: Which Tower To Go In First
« on: September 27, 2012, 02:41 »
0. Try to find some armor and FN SCAR in Civilian.
1. Storage, since you will be running out of ammo soon.
2. Medical, when you run out of medikits.
3. Engineering. It works nowadays as Storage bis.
4. Security/Military/Main for extra fun and some chance of getting heavy weaponry.
0. FN Scar in Civilian quite rare :( Twice explore 1st floor completely and not find ANY of SMG (as a Scout and then Technician, I have only 9mm pistol)
1. If you have SMG (any) - go Storage. If none of that - go Medical first (you really need more medikits), and try pass to Engineering.
2. Medical for medikits and exploration bonus (not nessesary clean it out - just safely walk around)
3. Engineering. By this point you find some SMG anyway (or die x_X).
4. Try to explore 1st floor Sequrity - sometimes no locked doors here, or breakable glass rooms
Military always locked - IMO not wise explore 1st & 2nd floors (low keys/multitools at this point), go here from 3d.

Pistols quite useless even when mastered - you can't kill workers, elites, stalkers and other touch aliens with 9mm pistol. You can if you have unlimited health
Shotgun powerful but not good. No knockback as it do in DoomRL. Just a little more good than pistols. SMGs and pulse rifle are the key.
One shot 5.56 sniper rifle - useless, for big open space (like a Main tower) and 1-2 aliens at one time only.

Never find colt .44. May be it is a good pistol (I hope)
Shotgun can be found at Storage, but rare
Plasteel armor became common on level 4+ Military, Sequrity & Main towers
Twice visit level 6 of Main tower and find here Power Armor.

AliensRL / Re: amazing RL!!! thanks coders!!
« on: September 26, 2012, 02:26 »
Yes, amazing. But... men, that's impossible to win )))

about 6-7 attempts.

Start. Low ammo, weak pistol/smg
mid-game. Oh, yes - plasteel armor, pulse rifle... and low ammo!
goods in sequrity\military towers really powerful ... sometimes. But need a tons of keys/multitools

running from one dropped weapon to another (when one ammo type depleted)? not fun
10000 pistols from crates - all useless 9mm. Are you joking? where is colt .44?
experience - thank for exploration bonus, gaining exp from aliens - no way, out of ammo

Got "advanced" in primary weapon, got power armor, 300+ ammo for pulse rifle, ready to action.
level 6 of main tower. Praetorian, 2 elites, scout - just around elevator. Pulse rifle - too slow. Grenades - too close. Run away - they are quick. Ok, grenades. medikits. Level 7. Praetorians*3, die in one turn.

Think I need a good stars position, meson fluctuations and luck for victory - once in centhury. How many times we need die per one success?
