In Response To: Aleph One: Pathways Into Darkness (W'rkncacnter)

I just updated AOPID to 1.1: http://simplici7y.com/items/aleph-one-pathways-into-darkness.

If you're currently playing through the game, you can update and just continue to use your saved game.

It's got a bunch of bug fixes or changes to make it match closer to the original. There are a few other types of changes I made as well.

I added a difficulty penalty/bonus to your end score if you play the game on something other than Normal. When playing on Total Carnage for example, you'll get a +5 difficulty bonus added to your score. This is because you lose a lot of time when playing on TC, because you have to rest more often, and therefore, your end score isn't as good. It didn't seem fair to have a lower score when playing on a higher difficulty, so this is my attempt to correct it.

Total carnage: +5
Major damage: +2
Easy: -2
Kindergarten: -5

The penalty/bonus is based on an average of your entire playthrough, so you can't just play the whole game on Normal, and then switch to Total Carnage to exit the pyramid. You won't get a bonus if you try this. Also, if you play 90% of the game on Total Carnage, but drop the game to Normal at the end or something, you'll only get a +2 bonus.

Another change I made (on Total Carnage only), is the first 3 digits of the bomb code will be randomly selected every time you start a new game. This way it'll kind of force you to play the game properly, instead of just having the code memorized / looking the code up online.

The readme has the full list of changes.
