AliensRL / Re: HQ Fontset w/ Graphic Tiles- Update: Human graphic
« on: January 18, 2017, 11:43 »Seems like a very big necro post.Quite the necro. I apologize, and thanks for the fix! I'll have a look as I liked the smoothness of the font otherwise.
Nonetheless I found a way to fix this problem.
The reason why the in game screen is significantly offset is because the posted above image is significantly larger in width and height than the original image.
To fix the issue set this image to a size of 320x126. This fixes the issue.Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yeah, I was confident I could deal with one. I did not see the second one until I was already standing face to face with the one I was intending to kill. RIP :P

AliensRL / [0.8.4 BETA|Medic|3|YASD] - Don't mess with security bots
« on: January 12, 2017, 05:11 »
Probably ended up killing way too many aliens (ie wasting ammo) but I agree with the assessment that Medic easily is the best pick right now. Decent enough XP bonuses and you can get really far on your 5 medpaks before you need to restock.
I'm not sure if it's a glitch or not but I was able to use the HK MG4 heavy machine gun without a gyrostabilizer. The help file states that you have to have one to use "heavy weapons", but I'm assuming that means the Smartgun only, really. I have yet to find an RPG or Flamer yet, so I dunno. Got myself a Pulse Rifle this time around and holy crap, that baby shreds everything. I tried to conserve ammo for it though and used a sawed-off as my primary alien-dispatching tool and only used the HK for hordes.
That said, I managed to get my butt into Military 3 via Engineering 1->2->Security 2->Military 2->3. It was heavily radiated, so I popped back down to find myself a rad suit and then back up. I was really low on keys, so I didn't expect to do much exploring really, but I got around a corner and got absolutely perforated by two bots lurking there. I thought it was only one and I was trying to get closer to blow him up with the Pulse Rifle. I kinda didn't think about the fact that I wasn't wearing armor at the time, due to the rad suit. Welp.
RIP. Still, my best run yet. I lived for way longer than last time, and I had great luck with item finds.

Do shotguns work well against higher level enemies? I've noticed they're extremely OP against the low level aliens due to the knockback.

AliensRL / Re: [0.8.2|YASD|Tech] - I am not good at this game
« on: January 10, 2017, 08:56 »Yeah, I find I can barely hit anything unless they're at point-blank range, even when I upgrade my weapon abilities. That's why I suggested taking the medic, since letting everyone come to point-blank range means you take more damage. :P I don't even know what weapon upgrades do, quite frankly; do they increase damage? Accuracy? I can't tell the difference. Considering that they're the most expensive upgrades, I think they need a bigger buff.In further runs, I've noticed this as well. Getting them to point blank and blowing them up is the best way to defeat them, or you'll spend way too much ammo killing them. I'm running the 0.8.4 beta now, and the evade ability is ludicrous. So yeah, medic seems to be the way.
And yes, ammo is a big limiter in the game; I recommend spending a lot of time in the storage tower to stock up.

AliensRL / Re: How to make AliensRL fun
« on: January 10, 2017, 00:55 »Well, setting aside that KK made that post in 2011, this is a good question. The Beta version of 0.8.4 was released in April of 2013. If it isn't being worked on, I think it wouldn't hurt to release 0.8.4 publicly.Wait what? There's a beta? Is there any possibility of getting my grubby hands on that one somehow?
EDIT: Nevermind. NEVERMIND! I'm an idiot and a necroposter. I just now noticed I'm actually a beta tester and have access to the beta forums where it's right at the top. *EPIC DERP*

« on: January 10, 2017, 00:32 »
I've been trying to get a HW Specialist going and I've actually made it (in my mind) pretty far, having cleared the first and second floors of Storage and Civilian, as well as first floor of Medical. I got my butt handed to me by a bunch of teal A's (highest rank scavengers I think) on the third floor of Engineering as I ran out of ammo due to the excess of aggressive aliens. I avoid workers as much as I can. Sometimes you can't avoid them as they stand right around a corner or whatnot, but I tend to play "ring around a rosie" and try to run away from them if I can. Doesn't always work.
So right now I'm more trying to figure out how to get anywhere as ammo seem to me to be the primary limiter. Health was never an issue as I was swimming in medpaks. I do note that I keep getting "You barely hit..." or "You lightly hit..." almost every single time. There are very few solid hits. How do I increase my hit quality to make the most use out of my ammo? Simply upgrade skills?
And I fully agree it has a lot of potential. It plays very differently from DoomRL and the atmosphere is suitably horrifying and scary. I like it a lot, even though it's just a shell of a game atm. Really, really nice shell that is! ^^

AliensRL / [0.8.2|Tech|1|YASD] - I am not good at this game
« on: January 09, 2017, 01:06 »
After having beaten DoomRL several times both normally, secret ending and Ao100 I figured I was well equipped to give AliensRL a go and see how hard that was.
Let's just say it plays differently. I knew enough to know that wasting ammo on killing workers is pointless. What I did not expect was how sturdy the first hunter pack I ran into were. Three Juveniles completely ripped me to shreds. I even forgot I had medpacks. So when I just barely survived with like 2 or 3 HP I was ill prepared when the last wayward juvenile came out of the dark and put me in the coffin. *whoops*
