Discussion / Music in Ao100
« on: September 25, 2012, 12:58 »
So, I was wondering...
If you're doing a 100-level game, does the music go back up to level2 in the lua when you get to level 26?
Or could I, say, add a bunch of new lines at the end of the list to stuff in sirgalahad's Doom II music?
Just a thought I had. :V

Yeah, I have no idea what to do with this at all. I keep trying different ways of using that command line thing, and either nothing happens at all, or it horfs a bunch junk at me about the file I'm telling it to look at not being a table. I have no clue how to change anything.
I just want to use the mp3 music and put myself on the right side of the starting level. I don't have any programs that can open these things. lua stuff is supposed to be a backend, why are you making me deal with this?

How? It doesn't really make you do anything different except hold on to something. This doesn't require solving any puzzles, moving any garbage, or even searching a level unless you actually find a door without a key, and if you do, said key will be sitting in plain sight in one of the rooms you haven't seen yet. If you can't put up with about twenty seconds of backtracking should that happen, I have no idea how you get through this game anyway, since it's generally necessary to go back over a level to top off on armor and restoratives once it's cleared out.
The net effect of tying special vaults to keys is that there are more vaults with more varied caches in them. That's about it.

You guys are really not getting the concept here. There are no "keycard problems" with this idea. A locked vault would never be generated unless the appropriate key were somewhere on the level. The key wouldn't be difficult to find; the worst it could be is behind some goop like anything else you might want to grab. If you didn't get the key for whatever reason, which there is basically no reason for unless you absolutely can't stomach the goop at the moment or you're playing AoRA or something, then future floors would not have that color door unless another key spawns.
You guys seem to be looking at this and saying "keys, blah, that's boring." You're missing the fact that this idea directly addresses the problems that make keys boring. It's just a new way to put in more item rolls, bring back some old flavor, and make you wiggle your inventory around. It shouldn't kill the pace at all.

Your rockets didn't notice that I specified indestructible vaults. :V
As for the "puzzle" aspect, it isn't present here. If there is a key, there might be a vault, that's it. You're not going to get sealed off from part of a level, and the stairs aren't in there. The key is not hidden behind a bunch of barrels, nor does it require you to pull a specific lever. A Baron of Hell did not eat it. It might spawn behind a hazard floor, but anything can do that, and since the only thing keys do in my model is give you bonus junk, you can skip it if you can't swing the damage.

I'm pretty sure we've talked about keys before, and I'm also pretty sure we've discarded them, because although "find the key" gameplay was a cornerstone of the era Doom is from, it would really screw up DoomRL's coffee break pacing.
I fixed it!
If a key is on a level, whether it is generated or carried, there is a chance a vault will be on it with indestructible walls and a door of the same color. But they shouldn't just be vaults. It's more fun if we make the color mean something. Blue doors could hide meds and powerups. Yellow doors contain equipment and mods. Red doors contain a whole bunch of overleveled monsters.
Even more fun!
As long as we're coloring things, let's paint some levers, too. A blue lever megaspheres you when you pull it and doesn't run out. A yellow lever dumps a bunch of ammo every where. A red lever smashes you into pulp.
So why would I want a red key?
Because the colors in these descriptions were placeholders. Remember how in old school roguelikes, you wouldn't know what a wand did until you tested it? A particular color of key is a mystery until you find something to stick it in. Good luck! :V

Actually, when you R with the Trigun in your primary slot, it asks if you're sure. If you make any input other than Y, it will dual-reload rather than blowing everything up.

Before him 78 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
71 of those were killed.
1 of those was killed by something unknown.
And 1 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.
Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
Is he immortal? 5 souls claim to have killed him...
2 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
3 killed the bastard and survived.

Check on your system resources while running the game, especially when it gets laggy. This is starting to sound like a memory leak.

That would totally break AoB. It's already pretty much broken if you have anything better than the chainsaw. With this, you'd barely even need it, just a pair of knives.
That said, I always keep something in my prepared slot in AoB anyway, just so I can imagine what my character looks like standing at the entrance to the Phobos Arena with a spear and a chainsaw. :3

Have you tried saving after the first level to see if that affects the amount of time/turns it takes to fail?
