[0.9.9.3] Incorrectly listed as "Won By Sacrifice"
« on: May 20, 2011, 02:08 »
Level: I'm Too Young To Die!

I got the Trigun. I used it to nuke several levels (think I was one short of Fallout Platinum Cross), including Phobos Arena and Hell Fortress. I was invincible for each nuke, including the final one, and had more than enough HP - my mortem lists me as 60HP max, so the Angel Arm wouldn't have come close to killing me through max HP loss, if such a thing is even possible.

However, the high score table lists this as "won by sacrifice." This seems wrong.

Could you explain this? You killed the Cyberdemon with nuclear power...and then what? The game popped out a mortem immediately? Or did you die?

He says right there in his post that he nuked Hell Fortress, that is, level 26 while invincible. I'd assume it gave him a mortem after that.

Yep, Thomas got it. Everything worked right except for the fact that the High Score table says "won by sacrifice", which I'm pretty sure isn't supposed to happen when I didn't actually die.

I can confirm this, for what it's worth, though I can't post a mortem since most of mine have mysteriously vanished, probably because of something I did.

I alt-reloaded a nuclear BFG on Cybie, hit the stairs, and used element+nuke on JC and got the same result. It's listed as 'won by sacrifice' in the high scores, it said so in the mortem, and in all mortems afterwards it shows up under 'sacrifice' and not 'totally wimped out and autowon the end boss twice'.

I just had a run where I found a few nukes so I gave it a whirl. Here is a mortem confirming what people are already saying:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I was invulnerable from a globe for both nukes, but I decided to use the lava element anyways 'cause it was something to do.

Side note: N! AoB is awesome, and apparently Mbm isn't worthless.
