[0.9.9.4 winxp] Angel of haste not showing proper level numbers or music

<< < (2/2)

Game Hunter:
He's probably concerned in a way similar to the description I wrote on the wiki:

"Every odd-floored level is skipped. (This affects special level generation.)"

The purpose of the wiki IS to be as technically accurate as possible. At the same time, I was looking for the briefest way to explain the Angel of Haste to a person who wants to understand how it works. However, the game is adjusted on a visceral level so that it still seems like a natural progression (that is, without literally removing the odd-floored level), and so the result is what you see. I think if AoHa kept everything intact to that extent, it would probably be more confusing to players who don't necessarily understand its framework.

Come on dude. That's hardly helpful/constructive. Or true. Been playing for years but am a casual player and don't get to play that much. I have played angel of haste before and usually play a challenge game when I do play. I only just now noticed the level names with angel of haste.

Tehtmi and Game Hunters explanations on the other hand were very helpful in clearing it up. From the in game text and the wiki description, I don't really see how anyone would know it worked that way unless they were familiar with the inner most workings of the game.

I do assume that when I died it said I was on phobos hell level 1 but the mortem said I died on phobos base level 8 is a bug. No way that is intentional.

When it says that it effects special level generation, I assume that means that any levels that only spawn on the odd levels won't appear? So the Mortuary for instance should still appear if it spawns on level 22 (or level 11 in this case)?

That's sort of a guess on my part. I noticed when playing AoHa that some levels that are supposed to be guaranteed could potentially not show up, which could easily be a result of the game rolling that level to be on one of the odd-floored maps that was omitted after special floor generation. Lava Pits also never appears and, since it's on dlvl23, it helped me come to this conclusion. By this logic, however, UC should always be on dlvl8 and Mort should always be on dlvl11, so that's worth checking.

I'm sure someone with ACTUAL knowledge of the game's innermost workings could tell you for sure though.

Brewtal Legend:
I noticed that the music for the first level is always randomly chosen when ever I play angel of haste but all the others go in the same order. Does this mean there is a way to randomize the music chosen for each level in general?

tehtmi:
Special levels for AoH work exactly as if the levels were rolled normally and then all the odd floors were skipped.

If a music binding is undefined (as for "level1"), the game randomly chooses from the songs loaded for "level2" through "level24". This was implemented to give music for later Ao100 levels and is not well-suited for making every level random.

Well, maybe so, but this has nothing to do with AoH. The mortem always says Phobos Base for normal levels, even for 16-24 in a standard game.
