« on: May 04, 2008, 17:58 »There actually is a level in DOOM that has that in. It's either in DOOM II or Ultimate DOOM..I can't remember.
It's level 20, "Gotcha," from Doom 2.

You have to move version.txt over too if you want the correct (updated) version number to be displayed in-game.

The RNG really has it in for me. I'm trying to get to L15 in AoB (to achieve Captain) and it constantly does such things to me...
I know this post is a few months old, but I wanted to say this anyway: in this situation, wouldn't it be best to drop a pistol, and then immediately move one space to the southwest? You may take up to two shotgun blasts before moving away, but most of the weapons fire will hit other enemies and not you; once you have dropped the pistol and moved SW, you are in a perfect position to use your chainsaw on each former human and former sergeant as they round the corner--which they will do, first to grab the pistol, then to grab whatever is dropped by the former humans and sergeants you have already killed there.

Remember how Nethack has a "Rogue level" where the game slides back its own technology for the duration of one level? It might be amusing to give DoomRL a "DownFall level" in the same spirit.

Before him 14 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
12 of those were killed.
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? 1 souls claim to have killed him...
1 killed the bastard and survived.
--------------------------------------------------------------
173,000 points is way more than I've ever had before for a single game, even winning the game on Hard difficulty. Has anyone else noticed getting higher scores in 0.9.8.10 than in 0.9.8.9? Or am I imagining this?
Also, the "1 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide" was the game just before this one, where I was playing Angel of Marksmanship on Hard difficulty, and found Blaster on level 2--but then pulled a lever which flooded the entire level in lava. Oops!

You CAN shoot down doors (if not walls) with ordinary weapons, which is a really nice new development--it makes it possible to complete Halls of Carnage on Angel of Marksmanship, for instance, and it takes the guesswork out of breaking down the last door with an indirect rocket shot in Halls of Carnage.

If you have completed Hell's Arena, you will already have a rocket launcher, which you can use to shoot down the necessary walls and then kill the last monsters from a distance, without crossing the lava. This is how I usually play the level. You will probably not be able to get the ammo back there if you do it this way, but then again, at that stage in the game shells are plentiful anyway, and you won't have any use for power cells for a long time.

This is my first post on this forum, hello! Also this is my first victory in 0.9.8.10. My observations:
- First of all, 0.9.8.10 is fantastic! The changes I noticed make the game even more fun. Finally we get to see Revenants!! And I really like the changes to boots and the acid/lava damage system, they make these things much more a part of the game.
- It seems much easier to gain experience and levels in 0.9.8.10 than in 0.9.8.9. This character made it to character level 13 on Medium difficulty; in 0.9.8.9 I never made it past character level 12 even after beating the game (standard victory) on Hard difficulty, and never past character level 10 beating the game (standard victory) on Medium.
- Part of this character's high character level seems to come from having run into some heavier opposition than usual on the lower levels; notice the number of archviles I killed in this game. I think this is definitely more than I used to see on 0.9.8.9 on Medium or even Hard difficulty. I ran into maybe as much as half of those archviles by pulling summoning levers, which I like to do in any version of DoomRL, to gain levels faster. I liked seeing more levers, and heavier enemies summoned by them, on the lower levels in this game, whether or not this is a new thing in 0.9.8.10.
- I also notice that this character has way more points than I ever got on Medium difficulty in 0.9.8.9; 131,000 points, as compared to 95,373, my high score on Medium difficulty (with a standard victory) in 0.9.8.9. Extra points and experience in 0.9.8.10 might be coming largely from the new extra levels, like the Vaults? Not sure where else they're coming from.
- I like the Vaults very much, although I only succeeded in getting into the two smaller vaults. Spoiler (click to show/hide)
- The Lava Pits are a really nice addition too. Spoiler (click to show/hide)
non-homing phase device, which transported me about 2/3 of the way across the level. From there it was no trouble to finish off the enemies (although it was a surprise to see them! Somehow I thought the level would be free of monsters) and grab the extra radiation suits on the level; I assume that the game will always place a few radiation suits at the far end of the Lava Pits?[/spoiler]
- This is the first time I ever got either of these two artifacts, the Gothic Boots and the Nuclear BFG. Both fun artifacts! I used them both a great deal.
- I'm very happy to see that Invulnerability Globes now reset your running/cautious/tired status--it was very frustrating sometimes that they did not do this in 0.9.8.9.
- This is the first game in which I have ever dropped the Cyberdemon using only BFGs; in the past (in previous versions of DoomRL) I have often fought the Cyberdemon with a D1 or D2 plasma rifle with EE*2 and SoB*3, which seems to me to be at least as effective as using BFGs. I am only pointing this out because I only now notice that it took 6 direct BFG hits to kill the Cyberdemon, which I think is funny, because it's so well-known that in Doom and Doom 2 it takes 4 direct hits with the BFG to kill a Cyberdemon. I prefer DoomRL as it is, the end-of-game Cyberdemon should be a hard battle; but if there's ever any idea of adding Cyberdemons to special levels or something else before the end of the game, it would be amusing to make them have exactly enough health to be killed by four direct BFG hits, as in the original Doom games.
- Anyway, version 0.9.8.10 is fantastic! Thanks, Kornel, for another great version of this great game. Also, I hope someone will let me know if I've said too much too soon in the spoiler sections of this post--I can erase them, or one of the forum moderators can.
