Angel of Conscience

Every time you brutally murder another being, you inflict 1 hp of damage to yourself as penance.

It's similar to Angel of Pacifism, but you can actually still attack.

Edit: Might be fun to have a different endgame narrative for this one too

0.9.9.4 / [M|AoD|86%|YAFW] Vampire in the Dark
« on: September 19, 2011, 05:08 »
Inspired by this post I thought I would give a Vampire build a try.  AoD made it really easy to get because of the double experience.  Luckily I was shown the way to the Unholy Cathedral, which I had never encountered on a Melee build before.  I breezed through it for the gold badge and got the Longinus Spear for the first time (bringing me up to 55/60 specials).

On hell level 9, I found an invulnerability sphere, so I grabbed it, used a homing phase device, nuked the cyberdemon, then quickly nuked Johnny boy before he even knew I was there.  Although I think I could have handled him even without it because I had grappling boots and lava element.

End result is a silver and a gold badge, and my highest score to date by at least 40%.

I used tech to make sure I could get a tracking map, got to level 12 on ITYTD.  Made it easy to see where everyone was and I just shot halfway across the map to get them.  Level 12 with its 6 Reavers, however, was just too many.

Tried this strategy and I managed to get to level 14 before I completely neglected to see a Mancubus, who subsequently blasted me (and the barrel next to me) to kingdom come.  Still, level 14 UV for me at 100% is my third highest score of all time!  If I keep trying I think I can make it :)  Thanks again for the writeup!

Edit: I was really bummed too because I had a Trigun.  It should have been easy :(

21
Excellent write-up.  Lots of good tips!

22
I had been trying AoPc for days now and I finally beat it!

I never strayed from the Scout->Intel on the first level.  I know I couldn't see stairs, but I could see tech packs, which would show me stairs.  I tried for Running Man most games and then when I finally got it, it didn't seem to help.  This game I tried something different:  instead of throwing away levels on Finesse and Juggler, I just went with levels in Tough as Nails and Ironman and it really paid off.  When I completed those I got Intel level 2, which is pretty much the reason I got through Hell Level 9, where the stairs were on the other side of the map.

Of course, the Onyx Armor didn't hurt either, which I got about level 13.  When I finished, I had quite a few med packs left that I never used.

When all was done, I looked over my player stat and saw I did not get a silver to help me toward 1st Lieutenant, but rather a gold badge   :(  I don't know how I overlooked that...  This challenge sure didn't feel like a "gold" level challenge.

And what is the ID for regular stairs?  I've tried stairs, ystairs, and rstairs and nothing seems to work.

Code: [Select]
Colors = {
dshotgun = YELLOW,
stairs = LIGHTGREEN,
ystairs = LIGHTGREEN,
rstairs = LIGHTRED
}

EDIT: NEVERMIND!  It's stairs_light and stairs_dark

Gave it a try.  I did it on easy because I'm a big wimp.  I went with a scout for the 10% speed boost and possible cat's eye.  On level 3 I went with son of a gun, making killing things a little faster, but in hindsight, I should have been more patient and went with dodgemaster.

Things were going good until round 7 when the Revenants showed up.  I tried to be patient.  I managed to get right up next to one so he wouldn't fire, I shot at him until he got to lightly scratched, then I used a phase device to get out of there, just to warp RIGHT NEXT to another revenant.  C'est la vie!

Try this link. The double shotgun is 'dshotgun'. (Note that this list is from pre-0.9.9.4 so it won't include the newest objects from the current version.)

Thanks!

Next quick question: Does firing a single shot from the double shotgun use a regular shotgun blast or a wide one?

I know you can change colors in colors.lua, but is there a list of entity IDs somewhere?  Specifically I want to change the color of the double shotgun to yellow so it doesn't look like a pistol.

Definitely subjective.  It took me about 2 hours to beat AoB (which is "Very Hard"), but it took me several days to beat AoMr.  I still haven't beaten AoSh... it gets quite difficult near the end.

29
I completely agree.  I had to leave it running in the background for 8 minutes just to get the silver compet-n badge.  No game should force you to stop playing.

30
EDIT: There is one apparent bug related to this, however - Computer Maps don't show the stairs, at least on Angel of Darkness. Not sure if intended.

I've found this to be the case in Angel of Darkness, Angel of Pacifism, as well as Angel of Red Alert.  The stairs will never show unless you're looking right at them, no matter what.
