Title: What's the most out-of-depth item you've found in this game?
Post by: BDR on January 18, 2007, 01:53
This topic brought to you by a double shotgun and 6 rockets found on dlvl 2:

You dropped rocket (x6). There is rocket (x6) lying here.

Also:

NTR = Not Too Rough
HMP = Hurt Me Plenty
UV = Ultra-Violence
N! = Nightmare!

Well, this is a shooter game, so I don't see any problems with having three already, out of which two are very useful.

2 are overpowered and one is useless ;p .

I once found a double shottie AND rl on lvl 2 in a lost soul vault. How do you make a screenshot?

I'd say one is useless, one is useful and the last one is overpowered.

In windows console, after pressing right mouse button, there should be something like mark down (don't know exactly as my windows is Finnish) and after selecting it you should be able to make a selection. Then press right button again to copy it to clipboard.

There's a better way.  Got a button on your keyboard that says "Print Screen" somewhere?  Press that and Ctrl together and you have your screenshot.

Mmmm where will the screenshot be saved? In Doomrl folder?

Post by: BDR on March 05, 2007, 10:04
It is saved in the clipboard, which thanks to M$ is mostly invisible (there may be a way to access it, and I know I've managed to get there once, but I have no idea how to do it again and I don't think the help files will tell me how) but will show up when you press Ctrl-V (or select the Paste command).

EDIT: Notepad for the win ;P

Red armour, level 3 along with an advanced rocket launcher and more than enough ammo in the arena.

I have been playing DoomRL for only a few days now, having reinstalled it after a lengthy hiatus and I've made quite a few runs. I have found some nice things, and even learned to prefer the Double Shotgun over the Combat Shotgun (I know. Duh. But I liked being able to 'reload' four times before actually taking a whole turn to do so). Only found the BFG9000 once, and nearly obliterated myself in my ignorance of its blast radius. Anyway, I was playing a game and I found a Rocket Launcher on Level 2, about a minute into a new game. Anyone else come across this? Oh, and as for the mocking half of my subject name, I happened to be playing AoMr this game. Ever seem like they wait until you cannot wield any decent weapons to let you into the armory?

As soon as I figure out how to insert images into a post I will edit the image in.

The Armory gets about a bajillion times cooler in the beta (and soon-to-come new version), as well as the lowly advanced pistol.  Let's just say that while pistols can be cool with the right traits in the current version, in the beta there are certain spoilies that make advanced weapons totally badass and able to kick the living piss out of anything that gets in your way, and that there are about five of these special items in the Armory.  If you wanna know just HOW badass... well, I took out all the spiders in Spider's Lair without using any of the teleporters with only a single advanced pistol.  It was only on M, and on a version with a slightly freer means to apply said spoilies, but still awesome.

I meant for armory to be taken figuratively. I've never been to the in-game armory. >_< Furthest so far is Phobos level 1... after Phobos level 15, apparently. That confused me quite a bit.

I thought the BFG doesn't hurt you if you get caught in the blast.  I do that just about everytime I fire it now that I think about it.

Post by: BDR on April 24, 2007, 19:57
Matt: That's because it's Phobos HELL level 1. :P

Psion: You're quite right that it only hurts monsters (and IIRC doesn't destroy walls either unless you're firing an overloaded one), which is why it's such a good weapon.

It must have been the two surviving Barons who returned fire just after my shot from the BFG9000 that had put my health down, then. Either way, it was a pretty sketchy situation. As for the Phobos Hell Levels, thanks for the update, BDR. I have a question, and I know it is way off-topic, but I did not want to post another thread in case it has been brought up before (searching for such information turned up nothing), but, how do you reload your second pistol when using dual gunner?

Edit: Figures. Just as I decide to ask this question I realize that someone else has more or less asked the exact same question in the more or less exact same thread that I could more or less not exactly find earlier. More or less exactly.

Post by: arch_8ngel on April 25, 2007, 02:11
matt:  (just in case anyone finds this before they find the answer somewhere else) - use special reload, "R", to reload both pistols at once.
         I wasted a handful of AoM games carrying a dozen full pistols in my backpack to switch to before I figured that out...MUCH easier now.


on topic:   I found a plasma rifle sitting in LvL 3 yesterday.  I was playing on "Hurt Me Plenty" though, so that probably skewed the item generation.
               Incidentally, it didn't matter because...I was playing on AoM (I did manage to whip Hell's Arena though, with two guns blazing).

This was pretty surprising, especially since it's the second nuke i've ever found in the game.  Oh, and that's an RL in the corner.

I found a plasma rifle and a Necroarmor (!!!) on level 2 of a UV game once.

That armor (and that marine) were unfortunately torn apart by the Angel of Death - berserk just did not kick in that game.

i found a rocket launcher on dlvl2 yesterday, and FOUR red armors on dlvl7 or so, playing AoI on HMP. On a YASD note, a few levels down, after BFGing an entire twisted passage full of arachnotrons, I took a lava swim chasing after power cells >_<
