[flavour] Various death messages in mortem.txt

(1/4) > >>

you:
There were various messages depending on the reason of death in original DOOM. Here they are:
went boom. (barrel)
was killed by a former human.
was burned by an imp.
was slashed by an imp.
was shot by a former sergeant.
was bit by a demon.
was perforated by a former captain.
was melted by former commando's plasma gun.
was spooked by a lost soul.
was smitten by a cacodemon.
got too close to a cacodemon.
was bruised by a Baron of Hell.
was ripped open by a Baron of Hell.
was splayed by a Hell Knight.
was gutted by a Hell Knight.
let an arachnotron get him.
couldn't evade a revenant's fireball.
was punched by a revenant.
was squashed by a mancubus.
was incinerated by an archvile.
splattered by a cyberdemon.
--- End code ---
Monster has 2 messages if it has different close and ranged attacks.

What about getting melee'd by any of these?  (Although "splattered" by Cybie's iron hoof sounds about right.)  As for the rest, you could just have a more generic "You were wimped by one of your own kind."

However, we'll need other death messages for the DoomRL-only monsters.  I'm thinking (warning: spoilers for beginners):
Spoiler (click to show/hide)was burned, and then some, by a nightmare imp.
was eviscerated by a nightmare imp.
was eaten alive by a nightmare demon.
was fried by a nightmare cacodemon.
was flattened by a nightmare cacodemon.
never had a chance against a brusier brother.
was pounded rather hard by a bruiser brother.
was ripped to shreds by the Angel of Death.
was hax0red mercilessly by John Carmack.
^ this one includes any death on HF, not just JC

Yours are all good, with the possible exception of removing the "plasma gun" bit to the commando, simplifying to "was melted by a former commando."  The other formers don't mention their weapons, after all.

Tavana:
A variation of this will most likely be implimented at some point in time. Feel free to keep adding to the list!

Also: Mentioning the weapon used probably isn't a good idea, if you consider this post.

Angles of death:
That sounds like a great idea.Also I wasn't talking bull when i said i was shot with a chaingun by regular white former human

Shoop da Whoop:
get melt. (lava death)
could not walk anymore. (acid, aaargh!!1)
[color=red]just found the Spider Mastermind.[/color]
was thorn apart. (if there was more then one of enemies around)
died from dehydration. (also lava)
forgot of the nuclear vault.
--- End code ---

By the way, if I go level down while the countdown, level counts as exploded?
