Played DoomRL back when assemblies/uniques weren't A Thing, and you could switch between Cowardly, Cautious, Agressive modes. Finally decided it was time to pick it back up, and was bashing my head against Nightmare! runs. OCD tendencies meant I *had* to kill every enemy in doorways/barrel 'em, game became miserable fast.

Decided to change things up a bit, and man oh man. Speedruns are intense! Fast! Surprisingly not rage-inducing! Good challenge, good badge.

Still have plenty of room to improve, in terms of time and technique; often cleared areas that could be skipped (was anxious about exp, but all you really need is berserker), and once I *got* berserker, for some reason my play transitioned from ::: constantly shotgun scouting ::: to ::: BASH THE HELL BARON'S FACE BLOOD! BLOOD!!! BLOOD!!!! :::

Suffice to say, those runs ended in, uh, failure.

Couple things to note about the drops. Double-double shotgun was nice. Really nice. Took some extra (real-time) time to pull off, but shoot -> equip -> shoot is way faster than shoot -> reload -> shoot (1.5s faster!). Helped me out in a couple tight spots.

Didn't use the rocket launcher at all. Never occurred to me. Had to play fast. Incorporating rocket jumps is probably integral to faster times, however, so I should probably start practicing that.

The point in ironman was a misclick. Oops.

Finally, might make a macro that, when I press "t", it automatically fires in the last direction I moved. Not sure if that would be cheating for a speedrun, but I radar shoot a lot, and doing it with a keyboard is pretty damn slow for me. Doing it with the mouse was faster, but sometimes I'd misclick, and move instead of shooting, leading to much pain. Also, my (non-radar shooting) gameplay tends to be much faster and enjoyable on numpad, so that'd be another reason for the shortcut.

Although, admittedly, I have never seen you before, it's good to see you've come back! Personally I have only started since the release of the first graphics version (0996), but I take it much will have changed for a player like yourself. Dig in, I'd say, there's probably a lot more waiting to be discovered.

Very good run, too, you went very well-armed if speedrunning was your goal :)
How many Doomguys did it take you to achieve this? I see you've left out the last paragraph of your mortem...

Right-click to shoot. Should eliminate misclicks. I, too, came back after having played a few years ago (your mention of aggressive tactics brought back memories!), and wierdly I quickly found graphics + mouse a better way of playing... Even for speedruns. :)

Approx five for this particular run; took me about an hour total (including Life Stuff). Plus a couple of suicides on level1, probably; I tend to beat myself up if I take unnecessary damage there. Still trying to figure out how to get past those first two N! former humans consistently without damage (you can't scout 'em. Can't spam 10mm ammo to find em. Probably need to use the "edge of your vision" effect(?) to initially detect em, then pull em to some cover?

But yeah, nice to be be back; thanks!

Wow. That'll make things way faster. Thanks!  As a roguelike purist, the fact that I *like* tiles makes me feel dirty :S

e: oh my god, I'm playing primarily with my mouse now

I feel unclean

ee: oh my god, rightclick also reloads. I have a new jesus.

Heresy!

Console + keyboard + vi-keys forever!

But that said, nice win.  Speedrunning DoomRL ought to make an appearance on SRL or SDA, but naaah, they don't like rogue-likes.  =(

What exactly are vi keys?

What exactly are vi keys?

hjkl for left, up, down, right, I think. Named after the unix text editor controls.

I've always been a RL purist up until now (well, numpad, not vi keys!) but the new ADOM is *beautiful*, and doorl is very nice looking, and also lends itself to mouse control (due to the gun combat and intuitive controls) very well. I'm happy being a heretic! ♥

Plus "yubn" for diagonals.
