Version: DoomRL win 0.9.8.5
Platform: Windows XP

Bug description: Activated thermie at the Cybie level, but got killed before the countdown ran out. The bomb did go off and I assume that a partial win should be achieved. However no win message and no mortem was generated, instead the program took the mortem generated in previous game (so I learned that I was killed by arachnotron on L22), and the final score for that game wasn't written in the HighScores.

I did some testing by removing the mortem.txt file from the folder and repeated the process. This time the game crashed, and I got the following error message:

EInOutError: File not found (at $0045A8B6 or something...)
line 138 of vviewer.pas
line 268 of dfhof.pas
line 285 of doombase.pas
line 21 of doomrl.pas

Save game was created successfully, and when loading it I reappeared in Cybie level with -287% health (variable), and got killed by Cybie by a single shot. Normal mortem.txt "Killed by Cyberdemon" was generated, and HighScores showed "Defeated by CD" as well.

Then I tried to simulate the crash with missing mortem file, loaded the crashed save (again with some -265% health), healed myself to full health, and then impaled the Cybie on my shiney LS - this generated a standard win mortem.txt (Marine defeated the CD), but in the HighScores table, the record was shown as "won by sacrifice". This partial win wasn't recorded in Player info, though.

Note: I was playing this on AoB challenge with some heavy savescumming. I also tried to simulate the problem (activate thermie, get killed before it goes off) on a non-Cybie level, but this got me a standard "nuked himself" death, and no crashes.

I'll try to test this futher to see if this bug applies to JC level as well.

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

Okay, I think I may have a lead why that happens...

[Valkeera]

This is to confirm that the same bug applies to JC level, too.

[RepoRipper]

HELP! same kind of bug, but...
im on NTR AoImp trying to win for Captain Rank, save right at cybie, i have a thermie....
i kill him with bfg, plsma rifle, dblshty, and rocketlauncher. yeah he dies, i lose 20% hp from him blowing up. in BOTH MORTEM AND HIGHSCORE it say i NUKED MYSELF! NOT SACRIFICE, NUKED MYSELF!!!!!! but thats not the worst.....

V 0.985

I think I have experienced the same bug as RepoRipper, and Rook on page 3, as well.
Also a possible lever bug (see below)

It seems as if you set a Nuke on a previous level, and survive (not sure about if you set a Nuke and go down stairs before it explodes), then you will get a loss at level 25 regardless of how you defeat the Cyberdemon (possible exception, Nuke him and survive). Its not even a partial win, and scoreboard says you Nuked yourself on Level 25.


I remember setting a Nuke, because I planted one while invulnerable and planned to pull a (summon enemies) lever repeatedly with one or two seconds to go. The lever didn't work (I don't know if thats intentional, but it seems if you pull that lever after you set a nuke, enemies will never appear), and I pulled it until it said nothing happens. Thats why I remember so easily, because it was disappointing not to have any demons spawn for my nuke :P (I don't know whether thats a lever bug or intentional).

Then I got to level 25, killed CD and it said I had nuked myself.


I take it that this bug has been fixed in the beta though?

[RepoRipper]

oh well i guess i gotta go through from pre-cathedral save....

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

This bug is fixed in the current beta and will be ok in the imminent 0.9.8.7 version :)

[TFoN]

Which is coming out when...? ^^
