Ideas / Inventory: absolute integrity / vulnerabiliy graphs
« on: June 14, 2016, 11:15:28 AM »
I keep running into this, although it's a little detail: the integrity view - 'w' - for the equipment doesn't seem all that useful to me. It doesn't gave a big picture that allows you to determine what is likely to break next (your at-risk equipment), unless you decide to reason it out based on coverage. (Admittedly, a person learns to do this naturally over time.)
The current view could stay if it's really useful to someone, but here's what I'm thinking:
1. Vulnerabiliy graph, the current integrity of each item divided by its coverage, scaled -- this would give a quick glance at which item is likely to break first under normal fire. It could be displayed after pressing 'c' twice.
2. Absolute integrity graph, scaled to the highest (probably replacing the current 'w' view?) -- the issue here is that treads and other strong items would squash the graphs of the remaining items out of view - not ideal maybe, but could be useful otherwise. I think it would be a more consistent and useful behavior than the current view because a good tread at half health is still likely to outlast a gun or few at full health.
A vulnerability and/or absolute integrity graph would reflect the facts better at a glance.
Uh, and I like data and graphs, I guess?

Ideas / Advanced Volley Breakdown/Analysis
« on: May 07, 2016, 07:46:54 AM »
Just an idea.
A screen or expanded view that can be called up ('Shift-v' or maybe holding 'v' down) that will give advanced stats for the current volley, such relative heat production, energy and matter consumption, and maybe a breakdown of the factors affecting hit probabilities at the moment, for each weapon. A combination of graphs and information.
It would be a bonus if it could be called up during targeting to show the hit modifiers vs. the current target.
This way a player could look at a single screen and get an idea of "what can I do to improve my accuracy/firepower/resource consumption?"
A further possibility is to show on this screen the modifiers that other bots will experience vs. Cogmind. All of this might help communicate to some newer players the factors that matter in combat, aside from just being sort of nifty.

Fixed Bugs & Non-Bugs / Crash on switching target with Tab
« on: January 25, 2016, 05:18:39 AM »
An ARC (sp?) appeared and I targeted it and pressed "d" to examine it, then exited and ctrl-shifted to swap a heat sink for some weapon armor. During that time the ARC deployed and some Pests appeared. I pressed "f" and the target cursor was still on the former location of the ARC, which did not contain any robots. When I pressed Tab to try an switch targets the game crashed with no notifications. It is possible that I pressed Tab and it switched to a non-hostile successfully, and then crashed on a second press, I don't recall for sure.

Fixed Bugs & Non-Bugs / Are there duplicate Components?
« on: June 13, 2015, 03:35:00 AM »
I just noticed the Autogun and the Hvy. Assault Rifle are exactly the same except the Autogun uses 1 more matter per shot. Are there any other items like that? Does it matter?

Ideas / Attachment hotkeys?
« on: June 13, 2015, 03:26:23 AM »
Just throwing this out there. Do you folks think that being able to set some sort of inventory hotkeys to quickly swap equipment would be useful enough to bother adding?
For example, I'm walking around with a large storage unit, and I have a few weapons, my heatsink, and weapon shielding; but on the other hand my datajack, sensor array, and signal analyzer (or hacking suite). Would it be useful to be able to set a hotkey for one loadout and another hotkey for the second, so that you could perform all of the swaps faster? Obviously it would break once those items left your inventory, although it could be made to work in a logical way somehow. I'm unsure about this idea since I haven't reached the higher levels yet, so I don't know how hectic it gets there.

General Discussion / Alpha1b fanfare!
« on: June 12, 2015, 11:31:50 PM »
I thought I'd start a thread for commentary on the new build, even if it is meant to be a "minor release". (Announced here.) First I'd like to say that I was impressed with the number of changes and fixes. I seems like an impressive amount considering the amount of time.
I'd like to ask what this means:
In summation, like others I am impressed with the level of focus (not getting distracted from your "big picture" for the game) and organization with which you work, and I get the impression you would make a good mentor (or whoever/whatever taught you if you aren't the teaching type) in some respects such as design and efficiency in development. If you have any suggestions for how/where to learn these skills, I think people might be interested. Maybe you've written about it before?
Also, the degree of responsiveness to and respect for your budding community stands out.
So, congrats on your successes so far.
- The motion trails are nice, and I've had them on and cranked up to max since downloading.
- The events/status indicators for machines are very nice.
- The previous-target-flashing-on-mouse-initiated-volley-targeting is nice also.

MOD: Indirect item/robot schematic hacks limited by normal distribution rulesIt may be due to a lack of familiarity on my part, but I don't immediately grasp how the "bell-curve" might be inserted into the indirect hacking process. Does it take the old difficulty settings of different schematics and remap them to the bell curve, so the difficult ones are now *very* difficult. Ie, schematics beyond your current hacking ability more rapidly become impractical to attain?

Ideas / Improved running
« on: June 11, 2015, 08:42:55 AM »
While I haven't played either in some time, I recall that both DCSS and Incursion handled running pretty well. Rather than just running until hitting a wall or other obstruction (or spotting hostiles/taking damage), it is nice when a run command stops upon reaching a corner (if running next to wall). In one of those two games or both, running down a single-tile hallway will actually have your character automatically turn the corners and everything until reaching an open space or branch. However, Cogmind has fairly short hallways of that kind, so unless a branch adds winding halls, that latter feature would be overkill.

Ideas / In Calc log, distinguish terrain hits from the combat hits.
« on: June 11, 2015, 08:32:20 AM »
Assault Rifle (69%) Hit (terrain) <-- This would suffice.
After all, in many cases a terrain hit would be called a miss. This would also make things clearer when you are aiming past something hoping to catch it in line of fire.

Stories / Slammed into excevator while stepping into doorway, disabling assault rifle.

Not much of an event but I thought it was a little cool as an emergent event, actually. Presumably its move turn came before mine?

Fixed Bugs & Non-Bugs / Auto-sort Inventory: More than 10 items causes scrolling issues.
« on: June 06, 2015, 08:03:02 PM »
With Auto-sort Inventory turned on and 12 inventory slots, when I right-click any item in my inventory, its item category goes to the top as intended. However, the inventory also auto-scrolls to the bottom, putting the very top item out of view. This means that each time I want to compare items in inventory I must examine one, then scroll up, then examine another, scroll up... or at least it would if I had a larger inventory.
It's slightly annoying, so I'll just leave it off for now, since I can always hit "t", scroll to the group in question, and compare them without any issues.

Ideas / Taking in-game notes + labeling locations and units
« on: June 06, 2015, 06:18:08 PM »
Note-taking: It seems to me that many games that would benefit from it don't allow the player a way to make notes of important information that they may wish to remember, which means you must use Notepad or something (or a real notepad), requiring extra effort. Some roguelikes have a way to add a note to the log, and I think I know of at least one that will let you see a list of all the notes you've made (either DCSS or ToME, maybe). So, either add it to the log and have a way to call it up, or use a special window.
Location labels/markers: Locations the player considers significant can be displayed on the map (displayed and hidden via intel panel). Maybe also allow a short text input that could display upon mousing over the icon. This text could also be added to the log:
Unit labels:So, when a labeled unit comes into view, it will flash a special color or symbol or have a glow or scan effect around it for a moment. A slight glow or flashing icon could follow them as they moved around, so you could tell them out of a crowd. Text could be useful for this, too:

Identity memorized.
Identity memorized with text: "The hauler that took me legs!"This would reduce the need for players to manually check the ID of robots to find a specific one, if that feature is implemented. Possibly terminals could also create some labels, if this creates any good development ideas.
