I'll fix it.  *grumble* level procs moved into generator...

[yaflhdztioxo]

New version up.  Fixing all of the problems caused by jumping from 992 to 994 was a lot harder and more time consuming than I would have expected.

Bug report for the 0.9.9.7 version - final boss got stuck in a wall. Had to lure him into shooting an adjacent me to break the wall he was inside, as I was in a melee build. Though my railgun might've done the job, hmm...

Also, I noticed only a single bulk mod, playing on ITYTD, and no tech mods, but I'm not sure how random the item drops are.

[White Rider]

Picked up a chainsaw that had spawned at the beginning of a new wave...and got a lovely string of angry error messages. The game continued as usual, after about 6-7 lines of angry error messages, as the screencap shows, and I was able to perform one action before the error messages repeated itself.

Here are some excerpts taken from error.log:

Can you elaborate?  Was the final boss spawned ON a wall tile?  I have re-examined that code and found nothing fishy so far...
As for packs, item generation hasn't changed though the addition of new items has made other items comparatively rarer.  Wave == dlvl; I've never been flush with mods but I've found enough to make assemblies.

Picked up a chainsaw that had spawned at the beginning of a new wave...and got a lovely string of angry error messages. The game continued as usual, after about 6-7 lines of angry error messages, as the screencap shows, and I was able to perform one action before the error messages repeated itself.

Fixed.  When the weekend rolls around I'll update.  Til then don't pick up the chainsaw.

[Thexare]

He wasn't spawned on a wall, he teleported onto one.

[yaflhdztioxo]

Ah, found it.  Guess I should've reviewed the JC ai before yanking it since JC doesn't spawn in a level with walls...

[Tormuse]

I admit that I haven't played DoomRL in a while, but I had today off, and for no particular reason, I felt like playing Skulltag Arena, which I haven't fully tried out before, and after a few tries, I got SlashER Diamond!  :D

I haven't read any of this thread and I didn't know what to expect, so I played a technician masterless build.  I also selected "no" to fun mode.  (Whatever that means)  The game was pretty stingy with modpacks, so I didn't bother getting Whizkid, but it was okay, because the basic weapons were more than a match for my opponents.  Considering it was UV difficulty, I expected more of a challenge, but I don't think there was ever a time that I had more than one enemy approach me at a time with very few exceptions and I never felt overwhelmed until the end.

At level 25, it asked me if I was ready for the final level and I said yes.  (I have a choice?  What happens if I say no?  Does it just end?  Or does it let me keep going with randomly generated enemies?)  The final battle was ridiculous, preceded by a great, "oh, crap!" moment when I realized that über JC summons Cyberdemons!  :o  Fortunately, I had Dodgemaster and I was able to get to an Invulnerability sphere before the shower of rockets blew it up.  (One Cybie hit me just as I was picking it up; I got it just in time!)  Shortly after that, I spotted a Nuclear Plasma Rifle, which would have made the ending pretty easy, but the shower of rockets continued and blew it up when I was one square away...  Then the shower of rockets blew up about two thirds of everything on the level.  :|  There was one glorious moment when I was able to stay in range of üJC long enough to completely empty my Plasma Rifle into him, but for the most part, the rockets hurled me all over the place like a rag doll and he kept teleporting away before I could finish him off.  I was wishing that I had some kind of knockback reduction, because even with Dodgemaster, it was impossible to dodge all of the incoming Cybie rockets because they were coming from all directions.  I never fired a shot at the Cybies, but one of them actually died from Cyberdemon crossfire alone!  Things got extra tense when the Invulnerability wore off, but fortunately by then, he was down to mortally wounded and a couple more rounds finished him off.  Whew!

[thelaptop]

Damnit Tormuse.  =P

Why not Elevator of Dimensions?  That one is still quite fun as far as I can remember.

[Tormuse]

Yes, it is quite fun;  I've played it many times.  In fact, I got the Angelic badge in it, but I wanted to try something different this time.  :)

[Buzzard]

What are the exact values of the Rune of Strength, out of curiosity?

[yaflhdztioxo]

Equivalent to a SoaB trait.

[Tormuse]

I'd still be curious to know what all of the runes do.  I never figured out what Doom Spheres do either.

[yaflhdztioxo]

It's all right there in the code :p

Strength = +1 to damage bonus
Resistance = +1 to armor
Prosperity = fiddling with the health cap
Rage = 2/3rd firetime and reloadtime
Regeneration = what the name implies, lower health means faster regen
Reflection = damage dealt to you is also applied to the nearest enemy
Drain = every enemy you kill heals you a little bit based on the enemy's max HP
Haste = boost to speed equiv to a level in HR + you never get tired

Doom = +4 to damage bonus
Guard = +4 to armor
Turbo = Double speed
Partial/Total invis = 2/4 point bonus to dodging (implemented as a PENALTY to all enemy ToHits because there was no dodgebonus property at the time)
Time Freeze = abuse of the timing code to give the player free moves, simulating a freeze in time

[Tormuse]

So, today, I played another Skulltag game, this time at Nightmare! difficulty, trying to see if I could get the SlashER Angelic badge.  Unfortunately, I encountered a bug that made the game unwinnable.  :(  At the start of round 8, I got an error message and the monsters didn't generate, so I had no choice but to exit.

I suspect that this bug is related to the fact that I took full advantage of an exploit that I discovered in N! difficulty.  After you finish a round and before the next one starts, if something revives and you kill it again, it starts the countdown to the next round again and generates extra items!  (Great way to get lots of extra free stuff!)  :D  At the end of round 4, I managed to place myself comfortably next to two bodies and repeatedly knocked them down with my combat knife each time one of them tried to get up.  Before long, the map looked like this:
