Just posted this mortem, re-opened DoomRL to check my player profile, and noted that I'm still not counted as having any full wins. Main page has a count of 0, as does the challenge page under AoOC on HMP.

Not sure if this is a bug or some other kind of error, or maybe you just don't receive credit for full wins on AoOC?

I did receive a promotion notification after the win, although I doubt that has anything to do with it. Still, it's the only thing out of the ordinary that I can think of that happened. This was my first full win, so I don't really know what's supposed to happen...

My player profile page says I have 7 full wins, despite having 8 JC kills. I know one of them was a challenge, but I'm sure the majority were standard runs.

Why don't you try for a full win on a standard game and see what happens then?

[Sereg]

I'm not entirely sure how feasible that is =P I'm the guy that needs OC to bring challenges down to my skill level, remember?

Additionally, I have a dread of the anomaly...

I suppose I could try it on HNTR, but I don't know how to clear the mortuary on HNTR, so I'd need to find a nuke. If I go HMP for Scythe, I may die long before I get down that far. And if I want it to actually earn something, I'll need to do it on UV which is certainly doomed...

However, it's interesting to note that you've also failed to have a full win counted for you. As far as I can tell, the win *was* logged, just as standard not full, for some reason.

Vampire build + Longinus Spear. Even I can do it, and I get my own ass handed to me on a plate on HMP.

During beta-testing, there was a bug that made the game miscount wins and full wins.  Maybe that bug still wasn't corrected?  On my profile, it says I have 21 full wins, but my latest mortem says 11 outsmarted hell itself.  Perhaps it isn't counting Dual Angels?  (I've been playing a bunch of AoOC/AoB games lately to pad my JC kill count)

Time to learn, then! Trial and error! Die and learn from your mistakes!
As for Mortuary: Skulls. Berserker isn't a bad idea, but it never procs Berserk for me when I really need it. Stupid arachnotrons and their rapid-fire.
And Limbo: Berserker and a strong melee weapon (like spear or scythe), maybe a shotgun to push things into lava, and some skulls as backup.

If I'm reading the code correctly here, there's a restriction on full wins (and sacrifice wins) that the player must be on depth 24 or greater.  It should count a standard win correctly, but won't count full or sacrifice wins properly right now if you are playing AoCn or AoOC.  I see a quick fix but I want to find a way that would make the winning determination challenge-neutral.  I'll add a ticket to the tracker for now.

[Sereg]

Hmm... that would do it, I guess.

I wonder what the purpose of such a restriction would be? I can't think of any situation where either Partial or Full wins would be possible before that depth, anyway, outside of AoCn and AoOC. Unless it's specifically intended to block alternate wins from those challenges?

That also makes me wonder... what happens if you do suicide nuke the Mastermind on those challenges? Would you receive a Standard win instead of a Partial, or just a death?

In any case, thanks for looking into it.

It would count as a standard win.
