DRL > Pre-0.9.9
Okay, MAJOR SPOILERS and QUESTION with this one!!!
wingie:
Quoting: Kornel KisielewiczAll I can say for now, that the current version has a overspawn bug, that crashes the game when too many monsters appear. It's my fault, and I'm terribly sorry for that.
Well, the "secret boss" does spawn lots of Barons of Hell, so that may explain it.
I think it may be my fault for not killing them fast enough though. =)
As for the where I got the BFGs question: I got 2 of them in the City of Skulls.
Anyway, I just finished another game. This time, I killed the Cyberdemon (rather easily, since I had an overcharged plasma rifle and 3 loaded BFGs---1 from Halls of Carnage and 2 from City of Skulls). I got the normal ending. This is the post-mortem I got. The last line is the most interesting.

Before him 2 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:

Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
Is he immortal? 1 souls claim to have killed him...
1 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

Anyway, if you don't believe me, here's a screenshot:

(Before anyone says "OMG IT IS NOT EVEN WINDOZ", I use bbLean and ObjectDock as my shell replacement, so it looks like a better OS. =) And it's not Photoshopped, because I do not have Photoshop. It may be Painted, actually I did paste the screenshot into Paint to save it, which explains the color loss, because Paint sucks in its PNG export.)
There was one of 'em invincibility orbs a few feet away from the stairs down to the Arena this time, again. I couldn't pick it up, though, because a Baron of Hell blasted me when I was next to it and took it out.

Quoting: Kornel KisielewiczSorry, I don't want to do that :-).
All I can say for now, that the current version has a overspawn bug, that crashes the game when too many monsters appear. It's my fault, and I'm terribly sorry for that.
I hate you :P
You want that! You want everyone to look and waste hard earned time on your game to find and understand the secrets themselves! You want it! :P
Anyway I would at least like to know if there is any logical conclusion to this, or is pure randomness the reason of this event. I mean it, I never ever killed that cyberdemon, never even went farther than level 15 (or something around there). It'll be long before I figure all that out by myself.
TO WINGIE
Now im going to talk to you! And you alone. I trust you, relatively. You proved there is an additional line of text, which should be available on every other post mortem you will do. Now now, if you would be so gentle, you would send me the "score.dat" folder to :
bozo2011@hotmail.com (please, forget the stupid email name, I created it when I was like 7 years old and I can't create another one :P)
You understand, it is damn easy to edit a picture. Any one with 5 minutes of free time can work it out. I doubt you can edit score.dat, so it would completely prove your authenticity. Please, I would really like you to send it to me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks :)
ANOTHER THING CONCERNING THE NAME OF THE BOSS : John Carmack. Ok, a small theory. If you give yourself no name, the game gives you one from a list. In this list you can find John Romero, and even Adrian Carmack. But here you got John Carmack. It would be stupid to call the boss John Romero and end up in a John Romero VS John Romero fight...
Well, all this is my opinion, and I wish luck to everyone in finding everything about this mystery.
Oh and sorry for the long post!
wingie:
Sure, in fact, even better: I uploaded the score.dat here:
http://halogen.note.amherst.edu/~wing/dumpbox/score.dat
Have fun!
Anticheese:
Assuming the information is correct, I'd say your best bet is to play it on a fresh installation of DoomRL and see what happens.
packrat:
In the previous version, on the Arena, I have found that some of pillars here are red and one is green (or maybe the other way around). The red ones were easy to destroy and see what is inside, but I could not destroy the green one (I tried all my weapons, and made the Cyberdemon shoot at it also). Something interesting could be inside. But this might have been a red herring.
