Idiota 18 years ago

the city things would require the maker to mod is arse off, then hire a team of modders, then they'll have to work there arses off in order to get it done. It's a real bugger to get all the work done and done good, especially in such an immense project.

Very good idea. It remembers me an kinda old game named System Shock. It looks like its sequel, SS2. I'm not saying that you got ideas from there, but both games have some points in common:

The ship is full of aliens.
The laser pistol HAS a Normal and a Overload charge.
You can't find anyone living in the ship, except for the aliens.
The first fire weapon you get is a pistol, which can be upgraded after.

You could use more ideas from SS2. It was a very good game.
For example, one of the monsters/aliens could be a crewman transformed by some kind of chemical reaction into a killing zombie

You hit the point there. It IS inspired by SS2, I even want to use sounds from it. Deck 4 is going to look like body of the Many.

In fact, Tucalipe, it's sort of a given that all major forum members have not only heard of, but played SS2. It's very popular here.

I do wonder how many people have actually played the game through, however...

Two times. Three times I got stuck inside the Many.

Back to ideas, how about you make an attatchment for certain energy using items so you give them a charge to use as ammo, and that charge comes from Carbon Units. Then, with regular trips to a Convertor, you'll be able to kill more aliens quicker!

Sort of an addition to Force Users idea...

So, made any progress on the mod for a while?

Damn. I'd call you stupid but that reminds me of a far eviller case of name-calling.

Apparently, the last version I have is 0.2, so I'm downloading the new beta right now. I should reinstall Notrium now, anyways.

It would also show just how little you got the joke.

And I'd call you an idiot for not realizing that you, in fact, did call him stupid with that, but that wouldn't be nice. So I won't say it.

I get it. But, you didn't get it, either. Idiota is the one that you're supposed to call an idiot.

To Mod Author
Thank you for this really cool mod - it is one of the best notrium mods I ever played [seriously

]! The mod graphics is average, but gameplay and the game atmosphere are truly (not original, but...)great!
Good luck, keep on modding!
--------
but... where are the decks 1 and 2? Please, finish it! You HAVE TO make it!

Pete 18 years ago

Ok. Major bump here. Anyway... I finnaly used up all the games on the harddisk of my old PC and Im forced to use it every weekend (no internet connection there) so I might start working on this mod again if there is enough people interested. Just answer in the new pool.

alphard 18 years ago

good news! Still waiting for unfinshed decks

Admiral 18 years ago

I haven't been round here for a while but your mod sounds very good unfortunatly i can't see it since it's no longer hosted but you should continue, you will be proud of your achievements when you are finished

Pete 18 years ago

No longer hosted? Not good. I just hope I still have my backup... yup, I have it. The results are also good enough to motivate, so expect the mod to be rehosted with some more features after this weekend.

Pete 18 years ago

There is is! Beta 0.4 is out! Check the first post for more info!

EDIT: Oh, and a new pool too.

EDIT EDIT: oof. Maybe not. For some reason I cant change the current one. That is, the pool.

roburky 18 years ago

I downloaded it and had a few goes. I'm finding it very hard.

First time, I explored and picked up lots of stuff. Then I walked into the steam/gas to see what it would do. I was expecting it to hurt, but I wasn't expecting it to continue to hurt after I left the chamber. I died.

Next time, I went through all the motions I did before, picking up all the things again. I found the gas mask, equipped it, and went through the gas chamber again. I was then killed by a small blue alien that was hiding in there.

Third time, I hit lots of inventory problems. Seems if I close the desk inventories with right click instead of pressing u on the 'close desk' item, it stays as my inventory, and anything I pick up gets added to it, and is lost. I also can't open my normal inventory until I go back to that desk and use the 'close desk' item.
I had accidentally gone into the gas chamber thinking I had the gas mask on because of this bug. I managed to put it back on before I died, however, and carried on. Went through the gas chamber, killed two slugs with a metal pipe, met a small blue alien again and died.

Not saying the difficulty is a bad thing. Just a little tedious going through those early motions every time. And the inventory bug is really annoying, but I'm guessing there isn't a way around that other than posting signs somewhere to not use right click.

Edit: Tried again, and was torn to shreds by a small blue alien again after getting past the gas. I was trying to use the paralyser on it, but I guess I was missing. What are you supposed to do with them?

Ooo! Response!

The desk inventory problem. I do think there is a way to fix that, but it would take too long and I wanted to give the mod out ASAP.

About the aliens... run away and try to hit him with something. Even punch kills them and they are just as fast as you. Try to upgrade your paralyser, too. And save if you want. Get all the syringes you can and carry them around. Maybe you could also get some blood berries in a bottle too. [quote="roburky"]I downloaded it and had a few goes. I'm finding it very hard.

I would suggest making the aliens slightly slower, larger, or do less damage. They've simply run at me like lightning and killed me within seconds. I've had very little time to react, and seem unable to hit them once they're next to me. I'm guessing their size is so tiny that they're actually under the range of the melee weapons.

Admiral 18 years ago

I have a suggestion for the desk inventory problem, wouldn't simply putting the 'Open Inventory I' item in the desk inventory solve the problem? that way if you right-click on the desk screen then you can press I to open your original inventory. (the one with your items in it)
I think this would work, but i'm not an expert, by far.
Loving your mod by the way!

The open inventory I item just opens the currect inventory. I am working on the mod again already, too. And thanks for loving my mod!

roburky 18 years ago

If you had an 'Open Inventory I' item that switched your inventory to the original one as well as opening it, it might work.

Admiral 18 years ago

Yea, add


      52;//effect number
      0.000000;//parameter1
      0.000000;//parameter2
      0.000000;//parameter3
      0.000000;//parameter4

to your Open Inventory I item then put the 'open inventory I' item in the desk inventory, that should take care of it

EDIT: No wait, just change your Close Desk item to include a quick key of 'I', that would do the same job with no cluttered code

Barebones 18 years ago

Once you open the desk inventory, you can drop the items regularly and they will appear at your feet.

Yeah, but they will still be the Take item: tools instead of Tools item, for example. Just do it the right way people...IDEA! Hm. That might just be it. If I recall correctly, there is an effect that forbids opening the inventory, but what happens if it is already open? Gotta test it when I get home...

I just didnt expect people to be THAT stupid to drop those items.
