Escape from the Vault 2015/2021

Post by eggmceye »

Escape from the Vault is a turn based single player roguelike using the Moa engine: the engine that powers euo.

This thread is about the new version: the first release since my 2012 7day roguelike entry.

DOWNLOAD
http://escapefromthevault.com/escapefromthevault.zip (updated 2021/12/10)

Overview here: http://escapefromthevault.com/

If you have played EUO then EftV will be easy. Except that is turn based, not real time.

Updates since April 2015
This offline version absorbs all the changes from the final online version (late 2015), plus all the QoL/interface stuff from EUO since then too. List of changes below (excluding euo's ui changes):
  • ships with MOAGL in case you want 3d, or just use etfv.exe for the 2d version
  • fixed pills not wholly id'ing when eaten
  • continent now saves & restores per character
  • ammo weighs less
  • right click on adj tile searches (now just right click nearly everything)
  • fireball cost down to 10 mana
  • halved MR of spawned mobs so charm is more likely to work
  • fixed scorpion cave not re-randomizing
  • Sentry guns: no limit on amount of sentry guns you can summon
  • " can be packed up & put back in Inv by talking to it (right click)
  • " now also requires 1 energy cell to craft
  • " now only has 10hp
  • combined locks & traps into one skill "security"
  • added chest spawners to scorp cave and subway
  • made Bathplug bit stronger but also more likely to flee when hurt

    (from the online version)
  • aliens lose the +4 sight but gain leeching attacks
  • put the regen rate of Mutants up to that of Trolls in EUO
  • fixed hiding and meditation not being disabled
  • fixed bathplug barrier switch not toggling
  • tweaked charm, paralyze
  • added /bind spot + bank vending machine to 'irradiated city' entrance
  • added a new map between the vault and the cave where you can /bind and use a bank
  • added Town Portal Device (that you can buy)
  • added bank vending machine to the starting jail cell
Additionally I started work on a hut (player house) but abandoned it because the game is so small and there are not enough dungeons and not enough loot that having a house for all of that lack-of loot is pointless.


THE F KEY autoswitches and shoots your ranged weapon!
The main change you need to know about if you played EftV before, or have come from EUO, is the way melee & ranged weapons work. Now you don't even equip a ranged weapon: it autoeqeuips when you shoot.

i) bind your favourite ranged weapon to a number key such as 1 or 2
ii) equip your favourite melee weapon
iii) press F to fire, even if melee equipped: it will auto switch to fire and switch back!
iv) melee attack with ctrl+dir as in EUO
v) casting ranged special such as aimed will auto switch too !

This means you don't have to bind a ranged to one key and a melee to another and manually switch all the time.

Summary of changes from 2012->2015:
* Televangelist (mage) spell list fully revised - NLP dropped as 2nd school
* All Maps made more intersting - new algorithms for vaults
* Mobs have abilities, to be harder and at least more interesting

QUICK CLASS/RACE RUNDOWN
Classes:
Solider->fighter
Televangelist->Mage
Engineer->kind of nothing but is the only class that crafts

Races:
Mutant: self healing
Alien: IR vision
Robot: heals with spare parts

You can cast paralysis on yourself and it freezes the game up. You have to relog.

Escape from the Vault Suggestions/Bugs

Post by Mackey »

Some bugs I found and things I thought of:

>Needs some tutorial/instructions/backstory.
>Doors could stand out a little more. Had to go back into a room after checking mini map for doors because they look pretty close to wall tiles at a glance.
>Using ranged special doesn't consume ammo.
>Not much use for spray n pray until the scorpion caves, as its hard to find clusters of enemies.
>Can't sell anything I've found to vending machines. Maybe +weapons and armour could be sold for a small amount of clams?
>Would be nice to have a selection of avatars.
>No way to res my doggy :(
>Save points would be nice. Pretty long game to be completely PD.
>Level bosses?
>When out of ammo, possible way to auto-equip next weapon with ammo? (Out of energy cells, auto equip crossbow if I have bolts in inventory)
>Training curve on traps is pretty rough from level two to level three.
>Any purpose to "s"earch computers if I'm not a robot?
>Starvation causing damage would add to the "survival" aspect of the game. (I like the lower drop rate of ammo, makes it a bit of a challenge)
>More classes? (rogue/thief/assassin? :D)

That's everything I could think of after one playthrough to the Scourched Wastelands (Terminator smoked my ass). I'll give it another go sometime and see if I notice anything else.

Yeah if you're paralyzed, you have to press space to pass your turns.

One thing I noticed is the game is much harder than before. It's still fun and I'm excited to start speedrunning it.

Check it out, 2x2 Bathplug; more bark than bite though.

I pretty much agree with everything you said Mackey; although EftV is a pretty solid, quick dungeon romp how it is.

I think the main "quest" works out pretty well. I'd like to see additions to the game without changing the final goal of kill Rusty, like optional side quests.

A great addition would be to add an abandoned shack somewhere in the wilderness or in the town that you can fix up and make your own (just like having a house in EUO).

Also, it would be cool if you eventually sold EftV on Steam for like $2 or $3. :D

Until I get my lap top if ever I just don't know. I have the old eftv and it runs smooth enough. Naturally, I've tried turning off the extra in game via the f12 menu. I'll tinker some more. It runs smooth enough but I won't be speed running due to "lag" issues of "mine." Everyone else I'll assume has no problems.

Re: Escape from the Vault Suggestions/Bugs

Agree on a lot of that. An assassin/sniper class would be sweet.

Dual wield for said class perhaps.

Gunman class for dual pistol-like weapons or maybe just for anyone.

Some notes I've been starting to make since last night as I play:

use mouse to scroll over and move map in computer terminal.
lags

dual wield

engineer spare parts usage goes up too fast?
5 parts got me to 66
perhaps more recipes like miniature computer terminal 1 use (5-10 parts to make)
Freeze Ray sentry (low dmg ICE and maybe hold person)
Flame thrower Sentry
Detonation Bots (think those silly leprechauns that exploded)

suggestion beds regenerate health faster (sleep)

grates - crawl spaces to random parts in maze (random) usually to another grate...
"you crawl through the ventillation shafts"

tables...breakable to maybe find a club

difficulty settings to make things harder or easier in the game:
how fast skills or xp goes up
how tough mobs are
frequency of mobs or size of mobs ran into.

allotment of stats? Do people like the auto allotment. I know for a while I was playing old eftv not alloting to see how far I could get.

meditation for hp? makes you hungry?

Instead of strange vision maybe something like "you manage to tap into the computer map." or (computer map activated)

engineering stuck at 85% or 87% due to can't build anything after sentry gun. (rely on computer consoles?)

secret door too easy to see (maybe make it activatable door or search to locate)

weapon (tells what ammo it uses if any)


I'll think of more ideas and maybe some of us should start posting gfx we want to see. I have a few I could repost and make. I was thinking about those lights alert aka in Aliens

Re: Escape from the Vault Suggestions/Bugs

Post by Keighn »

Well, I've never successfully stuck a candy bar back into a vendinig machine IRL. I wonder if there couldn't be on a new class a method to steal from vending machines or break into them. I'd obviously make failur and attacking the machine a sentry bot of nastiness to not make it so easy to crack it.

Anyways further playing ideas and bugs possibly esp after trying several androids.

Bugs:
Can't use charge attack diagonally from a distance. You don't move. If mob is adjacent you will strike it though. Otherwise charge works fine.

Cursed Rafts. I don't know why they are "enchanted: cursed" nor why they appear in stacks of 12-20+. The first time was a locker so I paid no heed the next time was from a rat I believe.

Fireball is worthless as a spell. Does 1 damage. Good for when running into those nasty rats but bad when you want to blast something.

Ideas:
Perhaps android can't break objects down into spare parts. For those objects that are so small maybe 0-1 parts or small % it breaks into a spare part.

Start androids off with 5 small parts instead of bandages since that is useless to them.

Generally you want to find parts asap so prepare for broken droids a lot but once you get going generally no problem unless you rush or are stupid.

Gah, left most of my ideas at home on notepad so can't recall.

I still don't know if there is a level limit in the game. I'll relook. Some might even wonder if possible multi-classing for maxed characters.

Probably went over this before but 85%sh percent is max I can attain normally for engineer. Perhaps console will raise this. I don't know if the current item craftable is tops or not.

Love old school lightning bolt.

EUO vs. EFTV
Image

OK some things I learned to answer Mackey's questions and help others. First off, if the new manual doesn't say so already you can completely customize this game. I imagine if egg hasn't told us already there is probably a way to add to the monster roster without a lot of coding. I'm guessing though. Same might be true for items, landscape, furniture, and tiles in general.

Of course you can plug in any music you want by renaming the music to one of the music files already. I believe they're numbered 0-6 or something.

My notes from last night:
use mouse to scroll over and move map.
lags

dual wield

engineer spare parts usage goes up too fast?
5 parts got me to 66

suggestion beds regenerate health faster (sleep)

grates - crawl spaces to random parts in maze (random)
you crawl through the ventillation shafts

tables...breakable to maybe find a club

difficulty settings:

allotment of stats?

meditation for hp? makes you hungry?

secret doors?

you manage to tap into the computer map. (computer map activated)

engineering stuck at 85% or 87% due to can't build anything after sentry gun. (rely on computer consoles?)

secret door too easy to see (maybe make it activatable door)

weapon (tells what ammo it uses if any)

====================
terran class (human)
pigman (Porchoperan - just remake the male draconian tiles)

robot can dismantle items into spare parts


vault should go from lowest number up since climbing ie lvl 4 to 3 to 2 to 1 to etc... (can probably change that myself)

22 lightweight raft ()??ench:cursed weight8 too many drop at one time.

can't charge diagonally.

==============
how to add more tiles to game?
how to add base monsters to game?
how to add more items to game.
adding new terrain,

How to transfer from old eftv to current eftv or save copies of alts:

1 copy splayers folder and put in a safe place.
2 in etc folder save accounts in a safe place. if transferring from old eftv open up accounts.doc and copy "player:name" of alt and paste in current 2015 accounts .doc. Save.

To raise level limits in game and probably other things:
open up server.cfg in notepade. scroll down to #server params.
here you can change max_level=20 to whatever you want probably even lover.
permanent_death=1 is on but I bet you can make it =0 I have no idea what it'll do but i'll try it.
Confirmed it does.
Be sure to change resurrection_sickness=1 to =0
You start back at the prison where you first made your alt.


stat=value=2 I'm not sure but perhaps that's how much each point in a stat is worth. change it to 1 or 3 or w/e to test it.

level_up_orbs=3 i have no idea.

Considering it appears the whole kitten kaboodles are here and maped works great you could do literally anything if you know how. And maybe its more complicated than that.

For Fun i might even splice in my old MIB map and place some mobs in there just for fun while changing some descriptions. I'm going to scrounge around for other music, sound effects, and gfx i have sitting around.

I'm wondering if this offline game could ever utilize a peer to peer network with up to say 8 random vaults in a pvp death match. I recall many old days of doom death matches in the day.

I'll look for any bugs.

BTW, fireball enchant on weapon worked great. Spell still seems to such on my evangelist.

scroll down to bond time=3600. I'm betting this is in seconds. so if you want your puppy to bond fast set it to say 60 or 10 or w/e for a few seconds to a minute.

There's a ton of stuff here you play around with and i'm sure someone can figure it out better than I.

easy to turn on tactics and unarmed skills. Still can't figure out how to make droids start with spareparts. i tried an idea based on class ie. starting_inv_soldier= or common or televangelist or engineer. i tried starting_inv_droid=147x5 but that didn't work at all.
====================
It was funny to move my old alt from the 2012 eftv to the 2015. Retro to old didn't work. I messed up.

Oh, I'm sure someone might think of remort, or dual classing. I see the switches in there and it probably wouldn't be too hard to modify the classes. Hell, you could make an all in one class utilizing all the skills like perhaps Elder Scrolls games. Maybe I'm wrong but the simple switches in the cfg files look simple enough and some work.

GFX ideas & what I did:

Winter time is my basic computer time so its great timing that I can play around on this. I was getting bored with Diablo:The Hell mod. I generally bike to the library every day except Sunday. There's a time limit of an hour here but its so easy to hack that if you can call it that. Simple stick in a thumb drive and the folder menus pop up. Move up to desktop and click ie explorer and you're in for unlimited time. Still, it looks suspicious when full so I time myself.

Come spring and summer I'm mostly outside working on yard projects. Some have asked me in pm why not play for an hour on euo but I have a lot of downloads to get and restore my old library of stuff I deleted in 2013.

I'm gonna try and beta test the shit out of this game to help you get it perfect, so we can all get back to EUO like god intended.

strength pills never decay if that's a bug. I have a lvl 30 guy now with over 400 strength. I'm not sure where I should look to make it temperorary.

In the script folder is a file called pills.lua that handles the pill behaviour:

Code: Select all

function effect_strength  (id,tgt_id,alt,itm,bcode,x,y,z)
	-- perm ads +3 to str
	if use_pill_helper(id, tgt_id, itm)~=0 then return ; end
	local plyr=get_player_ptr(id)
	plyr:bump_stats(3+int_rand(2),0,0)
	send_message(tgt_id,"You feel stronger!")
    sync_all(id)
    return true
end
The permanent str bump is intentional. Instead of "plyr:bump_stats(3+int_rand(2),0,0)" you could try "plyr.str_bonus = 3+int_rand(2)" which may grant you a temporary str boost - I took that snippet from the EU spell (dex bonus) and am just guessing its temporary character. Good luck.

Edit: plyr.str_bonus works - str gradually decreases over time, whereas the effect of pills does not stack. Hope this will help you.
