A few newb questions
Ruldra:
Hi there, first post here. First of all, I wanted to give a big thanks to Kornel for making this awesome game, it's really addicting. I've been playing it non-stop for a few days now.
I do have a few questions about the game, though. I lurked for a bit but didn't find answers, so I'll try to sum up everything in this thread:
--
1) If I take 3 levels of SoaG and 3 levels of SoaB, my ToDmg Ranged shows only +3, when it was supposed to be +6. The wiki says they stack with each other, but apparently they don't?
2) If I take 3 levels of Brute, my ToDmg Melee shows +9, it should be at +12. Is that a bug?
3) The Longinus Spear gives you an armor bonus (6 armor IIRC). Does that stack with other armors?
4) My game crashes every once in a while; the window just closes all of a sudden and I lose my savegame. Looking around the bug report section, someone mentions it's related to the music (when it tries to loop, some error occurs and it crashes), and I did notice that it crashes exactly when the music ends. I think Kornel already knows about this, but will it be fixed in the next version?
Thanks in advance.
rekenne:
1) It does stack, but SoG only applies to pistols, so I suppose that's why it doesn't show.
2) Yeah, that's been resolved. I forget which way it was resolved, as I don't like AoB much.
3) Yeah.
4) It's going to try to be. It's sorta beyond Kornel's control, as he didn't write the music playing code, just used an open source way to do so.
Kornel Kisielewicz:
Thanks for the compliment!
AD 4) If I'd have time I'd make it possible to choose between FMOD, OpenAL and SDL Mixer - that'd require some refactoring thou -_-
mr.48:
A few more completely noob questions:
1) How do you load a game? I can save at the stairs but if I die or exit I can only start a new game.
2) Is there a way to unselect fire without actually firing a weapon?
3) Are some weapons supposed to have automatic reload when they run dry?
Thanks guys, having a blast with the game!

DoomRL has, like many roguelikes, a so called "Perma save" system. That means that saving is ONLY intended if you gotta stop somewhere and wanna continue your game another time. If you DIE, your savegame is erased. People who copy their savegame to prevent it from being erased are Savescummers.

No, except from the combat shotgun "pumping shells into chamber" (Which is not really reloading anyway) reloading always happens manually, so pay attention to that.
EDIT: There IS an exception though on second thought. If you choose the trait "Shottyman", your shotguns will be reloaded automatically after each move.
