#12, "Tracking mobs"
|
(This is actually a repost from last year, as it apparently got eaten up by the forum software or something - so technically a second wish, but hopefully that's ok given the circumstances and SZ has the time to consider it)
It would be nice if you could get rid of the silly non-speaking mobs' yells ("Zulg, now you die!"), and replace them with some area/room echoes. The problem is of course coming up with a generic enough echo that fits all kinds of non-speaking mobs, so probably not something that makes direct reference to any specific sound/verb (i.e. The "A shark screams and attacks you!" variety). So instead of the yell you'd get an area/room echo (if not deafened), something like:
A great ruckus can be heard as <mob> chases after Zulghinlour!
Or maybe make a slightly different room echo, like:
The cute bunny has arrived.
The cute bunny chases angrily after Zulg!
(combat begins)
(On second thought a room echo like that would probably unnecessarily complicate things, as it's more "seeing" than "hearing" requiring checks for sleep/awake and/or blindness...)
Actually, regarding the assisting mob-echo, why not lose the screaming and make it simply "A shark attacks you!", "gets angry and attacks", or something to that effect?

Valguarnera had something in the works for this (It actually looks like it's about 70% done, but I'm not sure what's left for it). So long, and thanks for all the fish!

>> A croaking challegha demon yells 'The Prime will fall before the Shadow, Thraghor, and it begins with you!'
This seems inappropriate for a demon to say, since they are not from the Shadow Plane.

Consider Shadow roughly a synonym for evil in this context.

It's been about a month and I absolutely love how much flavor this brings to the game. There are several sentient mobs that shout very appropriate curses, and then we have fun stuff like:
You shudder at the sudden oinks of rage and fear near Coyote.
Did you program these all this season or were the majority of them already in place? It seems like nearly every mob has its own custom yell/echo. Kudos!
