Nightmare! / [N!|19%|AoPc|YAVP] Pacifism Plat/Diamond
« on: November 22, 2010, 02:38 »
so, I've been poking at AoPc and AoMC N! out of frustration with my Ao100 quest - at least when I screw up it's quick.  didn't expect to get the win, but I recognize that this victory (and Diamond) isn't that hard with some luck (stairs and powerups).  I think doing it again, I'd choose Badass a little sooner - reducing knockback from cacodemons would help.  Though I did end up at 1% health in Phobos Base at one point, so perhaps following Game Hunter's order was for the best.

If not aiming for the Diamond, I wonder how feasible Fireangel is - I understand reaching L13 is not normal, and you certainly want TaN for arachnotrons, or so it seemed.  There were a bunch of encounters with arch-vile/mancubus/revenants that would not have been remotely possible while vulnerable - of course I only ran through them because I was invulnerable, so perhaps that's not a good example.

I didn't actually think Intuition would be that great in this, but it was pretty handy - finding the precious berserk/invluns, and when not in berserk/invuln mode you can wait for the monsters to congregate in the centre in a lot of maps - either avoiding them entirely or getting the berserk/invuln to make a single sweep of that area.

some things that would be nice to be able to set the colours of:
  • staircase (stairs, rstairs, ystairs all had no effect)
  • the out-of-sight monster from Intuition 2
  • blood on the floor (not the blood pool, just the bloody floor)
  • Backpack
  • bruiser brother
  • nightmare hellspawns
some of the above might be possible already, but the IDs aren't public if so.

and in the keybindings, a way to refer to the numeric keypad's "5"

Thanks!

Getting lucky with the RNG for the pistol game - early blaster, then a Trigun, then a Railgun!  Like Damerell's run, the Railgun was mostly used for arachnotron caves.  Game Hunter's arche-vile tips helped a lot too, and I was able to get much farther than ever before (old record floor 19).

But the group of VVVVVMMMMMMMMAABB (I think, unsure exactly how many Ms) was brutal.  I couldn't keep track of which mancubi were newly raised and which were ready to kill me and destroy my cover.  They beat through 4 large medpacks and 3 or 4 suits of red+ armor (BP, P, gothic B, mostly at 150% or so).  I Hell Staffed away to recover but insisted on coming back to preserve my honour.  Reloading the Trigun killed me when they got move-attack-attack - should have pulled out the Beretta (enemies offscreen, so I thought I was safe).

I found the Beretta much later, but I did still find it useful.  having 18 bullets lets you keep firing a lot longer, and on levels where ammo is plentiful the alternate modes can be quite good with Eagle Eye / SoaB.

Earlier in the game, it seemed like if I waited near an arch-vile, I would get the first shot.  later, it would.  My movement speed was better later on due to Hellrunner, planeshift boots and agility mods on armor - could that cause a worse situation where I need to wait twice instead of once, but then he gets move-attack?

Sorry for the double post, but this run hurt.  It'll probably be a day or two before I pick myself up and try again.

Both this and my last decent start had trouble getting into a position to shoot the arch-viles in a V/M group. If I shoot a mancubus, I have to pause to reload and it gets raised.  It might even get raised before I reload.  This time I tried to move around the group hoping to keep it out of sight and look for the arch-vile on the other side, but I ended up seeing everything at once while near the south wall and that was not ideal.  Any quick tips?  still trying for 100% so I didn't want to flee.

my next guess is shooting at the group for a clip or two offscreen to injure one or two of them, reloading, and then approaching - hoping to thus kill a mancubus with enough bullets left over to get the V when I see it.

and finding 5 power mods before whizkid was pretty neat, if space-consuming :) (the 5th was on BP red armor)

Century Lounge / [H|Ao100|14|100%|YASD] I'm my own worst enemy
« on: September 22, 2010, 22:58 »
I'm trying to win Ao100 with a few restrictions, so can I feel that I earned the badge:
  • no Ammochain
  • no Intuition 2
  • as much offense as I can (not necessarily right away, but all appropriate offense traits should be picked)
  • 100% kills (of course, I might have to abandon this as I've never seen the deeper areas - might be unrealistic)
The plan is shotguns and pistols, shifting towards the pistols more and more as I progress (no shottyman planned)

This was my first meeting with arch-viles, and a nice jackhammer to help deal with the second one!   The flooding lever was helpful too.  Now, to go back to where I left that small medpack.  All the enemies are dead, just hold down RIGHT.  ? I'm dead?!?!  Oh yeah, a lava barrel got detonated there.  From a distance lava looks like water...

Modding / colour setting and keybinding questions
« on: September 17, 2010, 03:12 »
I was wondering if it's possible to change the colours of the following items in color.ini - and if so, what are the IDs:

staircase (stairs, rstairs, ystairs all had no effect)
the out-of-sight monster from Intuition 2 (alternately, blood on the floor)
Backpack


http://doom.chaosforge.org/wiki/index.php?title=Item_IDs is what I've been using for a ID reference, quite handy!  the default colours of the objects would be nice additions, trying to remember if a given object is BLUE or LIGHTBLUE or LIGHTCYAN etc can be tough.

and with keybindings in doomrl.ini, how would one refer to the numeric keypad's "5" (numlock off, so the key between the arrows)?

Thanks and burnt imps in advance.

0.9.9.1 / [M|AoPu|100%|YAAM] seeing in the dark
« on: September 07, 2010, 01:01 »
This one had a nice early game with a combat shotgun before the Arena.  The Chained Court was a bit of a nuisance without the Berserk Packs, and I considered skipping it as I had found an Agility mod for the boots, and with Eagle Eye they don't seem so necessary on the chaingun.  But the experience, plus saving the mod for a plasma rifle made me go for it.  I didn't find the rifle until Phobos Hell 2 or 3 though.  Hellgate was dealt with with rocket launcher, though one cacodemon got the jump on me somehow - Intuition 2 helped prevent any more of that.  It didn't stop a bruiser brother from being rocketed towards me!  Left there with only one medpack.

Phobos Hell was pretty cooperative, with no revenants or arch-viles and only one mancubus.  Tons of Arachnotrons and Barons.  The Arachnotrons weren't so bad once I got the plasma rifle, and the Barons I did a lot of off-screen / corridor shooting with the chaingun.  A trick I just found (I assume it's well-known) was trapping the barons behind lava since they won't cross it, then shooting from beyond their range.

The Mortuary I entered planning to just warp, grab BFG, and leave - but decided that I wanted to clear it.  That was almost my undoing! While the nuclear BFG was helpful, I had trouble advancing with the plasma rifle between BFG volleys, which I needed to do in order to collect cells.  hit 20% health more often than I'd like in there, but the end result was more or less par on medpacks, gained the nuclear BFG, less cells, and much more armor.

On floor 23 I saw all the enemies (20 or so) were in one room.  I got nearby and fired the nuclear BFG when the door opened, which cleared a lot of them - but then I was suddenly at 30% health (from 90%).  a bunch of Barons had survived, and took the rest of my medpacks to survive that (after their blasts, taking cover was not an option).  I should have switched to the normal BFG afterwards, instead of testing out the Railgun.  fun weapon though, the next level was arachnotron cave and it was handy there.

Cyberdemon wasn't too bad, though I was worried as I had only 2 medpacks and no Hellrunner/Dodgemaster.  starting with the nuclear BFG was a horrible error, as that prevented my backup nuke plan.  Running, cover, and the normal BFG were enough.  The Railgun was not very good in that fight, he could shoot me from range better than I could shoot him.

« on: September 02, 2010, 22:27 »
I was going to post my victory (5 Angels to go I think), but realized there wasn't much interesting about it.  Well, the message from trying to use a 2nd nuke on the same level is good - had a spare for the end.  But in this one, things had been going well, I entered the level invulnerable, so was just moving quickly without thinking.  That didn't quite work out the way I'd like...

0.9.9.1 / [M|AoI|100%|YAAM] Vampyre melee/shotgun hybrid
« on: August 28, 2010, 12:10 »
I'd been having a lot of trouble with this Angel, even once I get past my usual bottleneck of Hell's Arena, going for MAD.  I decided to try going for Vampyre instead, since it would be much needed healing.  That proved to be quite useful.  Interestingly, it seems like one could get both Vampyre and MAD - I considered doing that but wasn't sure if I'd reach level 11, and Ironman x3 was a sure thing.

I annihilated Hellgate with rockets, and ran into the Unholy Cathedral.  The increased knowledge about berserk bug helped - when I went berserk off a killing stroke on a demon, I closed the door and waited it out; when I berserked of a non-killing stroke I cleared the rest (triggering berserker at least once more) and ran to the Angel.  finding the Jackhammer a bit after that was quite nice, I didn't think I liked it at first (vs the assault shotgun) but then I saw the knockback.  That made me go for the mortuary (primarily wanted the power mod for onyx armor).  while it was useful, reloading is still quite slow (if only I'd gone for shottyman instead of Ironman) so I had to BFG more than I'd like, destroying the ammo drops.  stilll, I had lots of shells anyway and a lot of enemies were dealt with via the Lance.

I also found the Dragonslayer, but couldn't wield it.  There was only one enemy left after I saw it, and he didn't cooperate to let me test my theory.

0.9.9.1 / [H|AoLT|100%|YAAM] mods & shotguns 'R' us
« on: August 20, 2010, 20:10 »
This is my first win of any sort on HMP (I'm going through the Angels, but saw that the badge needed a win on HMP); actually my first attempt that got anywhere at all (meaning, past Hell's Arena.  I made a save there since it had gone so well, but never loaded it).  However, it is slightly tainted - I saved on L24 for the purpose of looking for the full win later, and then forgot that archviles can detonate barrels, so did load there - once.  The replay version also had archviles, so not much changed.  And it is of course an unimaginative Ammochain character, seemed necessary with the 10-slot inventory.

I had a lot of trouble juggling inventory to keep my mods until I had whizkid (or whizkid 2) and/or suitable weapons for them - and learned that I have indeed been overrating medpacks (one of the veterans said that new players tend to do that, I forget who).  Usually had only one or two slots for health, and it was enough with caution.  Found a nuke in a leaky vault pretty early (before Chained Court).  I nuked level 9 since Hell's Armory had appeared (sidenote - I wish it would be more regular, I think it's only the second or third time I've seen it), I knew I'd need spare inventory for the mods there.

The chaingun that I discarded was A1T1, the super shotgun B1P1T1, and I think I even made steel boots A as I was low on space (and no better boots had appeared), plus all the stuff on my final equipment ... the last tech pack went onto my barely-used rocket launcher.  Found the assault & super shotguns before whizkid was done (I think one was in the Armory).  Eventually saw another of each and two miniguns - do exotics generate more often on higher difficulties?  The Cybernetic Armor was on level 23, and the phaseshift was stolen from a Baron soon after the Hellgate - nicely wrecked (15%), took a while before it was fit to wear!

0.9.9.1 / [M|AoB|78%|YAVP] First AoB win, take that armour bug!
« on: August 14, 2010, 13:22 »
My previous run ended while learning that the lava pits are a lot more dangerous on Medium than Easy ... can't imagine what they're like on UV.  Skipped them this time.

I think Berserk didn't bug out against the Angel, though it certainly did throughout the game otherwise.  I finally learned that fighting everything isn't what I want to do all the time (shotgunners, mancubus, revenant, archvile depending on position).  Also learned the power of throwing knives & barrels.

I thought I should see what the fuss about the Mortuary was, and quickly left (had two homing phases, the other was used to avoid a group of archviles & revenants on L24 instead of YASDing - they still managed to come to the exit and beat me down a little on the way out.).  Didn't berserk against the Cyberdemon, but had lots of medpacks & spare armour so it was ok.

This was actually my first win of any sort on Medium, though I hadn't tried default a lot and had one that was probably winnable if not or carelessness.

0.9.9.1 / [M|AoB|87%|YASD] Longinus Lance, unused
« on: August 13, 2010, 13:41 »
So this was my first decent AoB attempt - haven't actually finished the normal game on Medium yet but had one that I'm sure was going to, just got careless.  Kind of like what happened here... powered up nicely, I decided to go to the Unholy Cathedral.  My "good" normal HNTR went there, but was quite shocked at the power of that angel and had to flee.  This time I used an envirosuit and lots of running and medpacks to lead him through the lava (saw that on the wiki after my last encounter, I often look stuff up after I fail at it) - had planned to cut him up but he just hit me too hard, down from 200% to 150 or 130 in one hit!  after getting the lance, I saw the staircase to that place full of lost souls - figured that would be some easy Vampyring to heal back up! Decided to win the level to gain XP and look for more items, so I was moving a barrel out of the way when an imp saw it... explosion into barrel into lava.  Why so careless...

Oh, one reason the percentage is so low was the visit to the Wall.  had a phase device + homing phase, but the phase didn't put me through.  I think I killed everything everywhere else .. though often taking cover behind one enemy so that the guy behind him shoots him.  Hall of Carnage was similar, cleared the first area but had no way through the doors ... is it possible to get the sergeants to shotgun them open?  seems unlikely.
