Requests For Features / Re: Grenade Launcher/Bouncing weapons

« on: April 13, 2010, 17:15 »

If NetHack can bounce wands we can bounce grenades ;)

I would like fully customizable weapons.  For every action the modder can define everything the weapon and missile could possibly do.  It'd be a lot of work and most weapons would never need that level of customization but there's going to be some crazy weapon somewhere that will need a hook to run every tick it is equipped or something...

Seconding request.

'Undoomish' criticisms aside it's something mods will want.  Missiles are currently somewhat limited.

Modding / Re: Cell Flag Question

« on: April 13, 2010, 12:28 »

They're related to graphical tiles.

Beyond that I don't know how they work.  I know it's safe to ignore them if you don't care about tiles...

Modding / TerminatorRL

« on: April 09, 2010, 21:31 »

This came about after some kicking around in IRC.  The actual level only took about an hour to create.  It's rough, but it's not exactly meant to be Citizen Kane :)

Bug Reports / Armor durability 255%

« on: April 07, 2010, 19:06 »

Take the Gothic Armor.  It has 200% durability.
Add one bulk mod.
Result: Not 300% or 400% durability but 255%.

« on: April 06, 2010, 16:01 »

Angel of Second Sight (has come up twice IIRC, once called Angel of Oracle):

Player vision is reduced to 2, player starts with beingsense and leversense1 (beings show up as red dots, levers are labeled as beneficial/harmful).  If player vision can be reduced below 2 (currently it cannot) I'd support giving powersense and leversense2 as well.

Discussion / Re: How hard is programming?

« on: April 05, 2010, 21:53 »

The sandbox is a good way to start.

I'm in the camp that says programming is easy.  The trick is to be as dumb and single minded as the computer.

Modding / Re: Shotgun-style weapons not aiming properly?

« on: March 31, 2010, 19:43 »

Haven't worked that one out either.  Finer loading/unloading controls are needed in my humble opinion.  Someone ought to put that in the requests thread.

Side note: IRC is a good place to brainstorm with modders.  It's where most of the sandbox abuse was first cooked up.

Requests For Features / Re: Mortem backup filename should be more descriptive and sortable

« on: March 18, 2010, 08:07 »

I would assume YYYY-MM-DD was suggested so that mortems will be in order.  The format depends on your regional settings; if dates on your computer are in YYYY-MM-DD format then the mortems follow that.

Modding / Re: Sandbox example

« on: March 17, 2010, 23:49 »

I updated the wiki a couple days ago.  Hopefully it's clearer now but it's hard for me to know.

In retrospect it's obvious that I should not have expected command-line expertise.  Not everyone who wants to access the sandbox will want to modify doomrl.  Some people might just want to try out new levels.  I wasn't trying to be critical (I said as much initially); I wanted to know where the problem was.

254

Modding / Re: Sandbox example

Modding / Re: Sandbox example

« on: March 15, 2010, 07:41 »

Don't take this as a criticism but it is there.

http://doom.chaosforge.org/wiki/index.php?title=Sandbox

How to activate it

Run DoomRL with the -sandbox file argument. To load the default arena level, run:

doomrl -sandbox sandbox/sandbox_arena.lua

Is that not clear enough?  Does it need to be changed or moved?
