Bug Reports / PSA: Junk on the Map
« on: February 10, 2014, 19:13 »
I'd never thought I had to be the one to post this public service announcement, but here it is anyway.

There has been recent reports of crashes/errors from spawning too many items and/or teleporting enemies not having a place to land on.  This is related to the engine limit of being clueless on how to handle the case where there's no free tile to place said item/enemy.

We'll figure out how to fix this for 0.9.9.8.  It's an engine limitation that was not looked into deeply before, but it seems that now's the time to address it.

Meanwhile, please be a civil-minded DoomGuy and pick up your trash (items), and leave some space for enemies to teleport to if you are using lava/acid spewing weapons.

--------------------------------------------------------------
So uh... the last time I played Ao100 was a good long time ago, and since I told myself that I shouldn't play on difficulties less than HMP, here it is!  Ao100 on HMP.

I had wanted to do an MSs run like the last time, but I kept running into a wall at floor 14.  I just kept dying there; it seemed as though I wasn't scaling up my damage enough or something.  So I got annoyed.

But then I rememberd the MCe build I used for my HMP YAAM run.  It was a very successful build, relying mostly on the Gatling Gun as the primary weapon until the last 9 floors where I just spammed plasma everywhere.  I'll extract out that build and the one I used here and place them in alignment:

  SoB->SoB->Int->EE->TH->MCe->SoB->Int->EE ->TH->Fin->

  Int->SoB->SoB->EE->TH->MCe->Int->Fin->Fin->WK->WK ->SoB->SoB->SoB->Fin->HR->HR->HR->DM->TH->Iro->

Notice that the first 6 traits up to MCe were more or less the same, except for that initial swap of Int and SoB.  I was blessed with an early Combat Shotgun, which helped immensely as I was slowly building up my resources and traits to run the MCe MOAR DAKKA build.  Unfortunately, Bulk mods were in scarce supply, while I had stashed away some early Agility and Technical mods in preparation for the Hyperblaster, the slightly more ammo efficient version of the plasma rifle.

But I had to bide my time a little.  Scouts require slightly more set up to get 2xWK, and I had to take 2xInt prior to that to ensure that there are no surprises for me.  That explains the relatively early assembly of the Hyperblaster compared to the Gatling Gun.

If I was under the impression that ammo consumption was "cheap" in the MCe build on HMP, I was quickly proven wrong on Ao100 HMP.  I was always on the verge of running out of ammunition, be it 10mm or power cells.  If not for that super modded minigun (439 magazine size), I would have been annihilated a long time ago.  My P-modded Gatling Gun was, together with 5xSoB, sufficiently strong to take on the later mobs -- almost everything went down in two volleys.  I didn't use the super modded minigun for mainstream firing duties because of the whole ammo shortage problem -- using 2 more bullets per volley added up really really quickly in the long run.

I played relatively conscientiously up till 2xWK, after which I started to slack off.  By the time I was taking HR and DM, I was practically getting bored.  Rev-Vile packs were a dime a dozen, and Man-Vile packs were just as ubiquitous.  Barons were a joke under the volleys, and in between juggling the use of either the Hyperblaster or the Gatling Gun (depending on which ammo had more stock on the level) and the ABP-modded red armour and Cerebus Boots, it was starting to become a cakewalk.

Until floor 98.  OMFG.

Shambler cave!  I was soooooooo glad that I had an Invulnerability Sphere that I had snagged prior to entering the level.  That invulnerability bought me precious turns in which I spammed all the weapons I had.  Bloody Shamblers kept on teleporting next to me, and it was just utter chaos for a good while.

Then my invulnerability ran out.  And I had only 2 large med packs.  Fuck.

I teleported using a phase device -- it helped a little but not much.  Shamblers are really terrible to take on in open areas -- they can just swarm you and you will die, ABP-red armour notwithstanding.  I snuck into a corridor and picked them off as much as I could.  By the time I was done, I was down to like 1 stack of 10mm and maybe 2 stacks of power cells.  There was a vault of Cacodemons that was left, but I noped my way out of the level.  I just wanted a Ao100 win damnit, not be yet another dead hero.

Cerberus boots are really ridiculous.  They are so ridiculous that I totally forgo the use of Nyarlaptotep's boots, something that I rarely do.  Apart from the Hell Staff, I didn't really use much of the uniques that I had found on this centurial trip.  The last 10 floors were probably the most exciting, and more than made up for the rather lackluster middle floors that I had to grind through.  Power cells and 10mm get chewed up at an astonishing rate when dealing with many hard-to-kill Vile groups -- this is something that is not so apparent in a normal 24-level run through.

And like the title suggests, I got really bored at 100 levels.  How the hell does one slog through 666?

That one save?  I had to move computers from the office (ahem) to my home one.

Meanwhile, merry Christmas.  =)

--------------------------------------------------------------
Never really played an MCe build before, so here's the first one from last night.  I've not actually YAAM-ed in 0.9.9.7 -- I wanted to do a YAAM/Conqueror run, but was too lazy to do the routing and planning before hand (I'm not as good as the rest here that I can just wing it and succeed).

The first two failed runs before this, I began with Int, but soon found that it was a waste of the first free trait.  Since I wasn't doing pistols nor was I going to rely on shotguns, the only sensible starting trait was SoB.  And it worked quite well.  I picked EE instead of TH to save a bit on 10mm ammo, before cranking up the DPS while trying maintaining ammo efficiency.  This explains the progression of SoB->Int->EE before the next TH, where it was almost time to fight the Spider Mastermind.

Equipment-wise, I like the gatling gun.  It was one of the two remaining basic assemblies that I have not made (the other was the ballistic armour, where I used a quick AoHu to construct and get the Technician Gold Badge), and part of the reason why I didn't build it was that I rarely played rapid-fire/chain-fire builds.  I managed to find the Jackal, but traded it in for a high-powered chaingun as my alt-weapon -- my traits synergised more with MOAR DAKKA than pin-point precision strikes, and since I was still lugging a rocket launcher at that time, didn't really need the Jackal for wall-busting capabilities.

The main attack strategy was to lead with the gatling gun, emptying volley after volley of 10mm lead into the enemies.  And when I run out with the mob still standing, take a 1.0s swap to the high-powered chaingun to take it out (still cheaper than the horrible reload time of 2.7+ s).

The minigun was a free ammo chain for me -- I used it mostly to save one slot of 10mm ammo.  That A-mod was slapped on it in case I get caught in a vulnerable position while trying to "reload my ammochain" and had to do a quick fire -- using the minigun is very wasteful, especially on the later stages when the TH kicked in and the mobs requiring more lead pumped into them before dying.

I had originally modded a plasma rifle with an A-mod, but I think I ditched it in favour of a plasma rifle with a T-mod once I got 2xEE.  As you can tell from the mortem, I think I might have hoarded too much power cells -- I entered Hell with only 2 stacks of 10mm, but had a large enough stash of power cells that for the last 3 or 4 levels, I was just spamming plasma everywhere.  I swear that MAc doesn't give one enough sensing on just how much ammo is needed for plasma-ing the higher level mobs to death.

Again on inventory, say what you want, but P-modded red armour is still ridiculous.  I don't really care about the fire resistance that much (never had a good feel for them) but that 6 points of damage taken off post resistance makes a lot of difference.  I think I tanked the Phobos Anomaly with precisely that, as well as the Cyberdemon fight, where I ended up eating more rocket than I wanted due to a lack of DM, common sense and reloading time.

As for the two levels where I was targeted for extermination, I will say this:
Quote from: Lieutenant General Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller
We're surrounded. That simplifies our problem of getting to these people and killing them.
Nothing quite as fun as two minutes of killing everything that moves with the gatling gun.

I'll play more on HMP before "graduating" to UV.  The goal is to complete each Angel at least once on HMP.

I did my AoB run a long time ago, got my Berserker series of Badges, but missed out on the Longinus Gold Badge (how could I?!).  So I brilliantly decided to Sereg it up and attempted AoB+AoOC to grab the Longinus.  35 attempts later (all in one day I might add), my Longinus Gold Badge was secured and I felt like the King of The World!

Then I charged into the Mortuary.  I was zerked or zerking -- I cleared the right side relatively easily with my Medical Powerarmor for support.  As I made my way to the left though, I got smacked about like a human pinball, lost the defensive and healing powers of the Medical Powerarmor, and died with a large med-pack in my inventory.

Over-confidence indeed!

Here are some posts of hilarious deaths from the previous attempts:

Heheheh, where to start?  Alright, I've been working on a MGK-based AoMr run for a while, not a whole lot of games, but enough to feel annoyed.  I tried dual Speedloaders before, but they weren't powerful enough.  Dual high-powered pistols seemed to do the job, but without 3xSoG and/or MGK, they were still prone to being insufficient (requiring a reload somewhere between volleys).  But Deimos lab changed the game -- I found a Combat Pistol there, together with a Bulk mod and a Power mod.  Unfortunately, I had just assembled a high-powered pistol before finding the Combat Pistol, a mistake since I've not really played the Deimos Lab before.  So it took a while before I could assemble a high-powered Combat Pistol.

I tried to visit the Abyssal Plains, but it was too Abyssal for a Marksman en route to MGK -- the lack of cover and long reload times between volleys made it too hard to fight my way through.  I had a small stack of Homing Phase Devices that I used to get myself out, and that was the basic premise for the rest of the game after the Spider's Lair, which I conquered with Invulnerability Spheres.  After getting MGK, I went for Int instead of Fin, and spent the rest of the game Int-scouting for power-ups while charging for the stairs.  That turned out well because there were just so many Invulnerability Spheres about!  The Spidey fight was almost trivial due to the invulnerability.

All in all, this run felt more RNG-blessed than others.

Funny how it took me 8 tries on HMP after playing the Elevator of Dimensions mod to get my Strongman Gold.

Inspired by 2birds1stone's Strongman Gold run, I decided to try my hand at this.  My original idea was to tank it out with an MVm sort of path, but that successful mortem made me reconsider that approach and I decided to do a MBm-style build instead.  Bru->Bru->Ber->Bru is a very strong start, especially when armed with Chainsword that was easily built with an early P-mod find and B-mod find.  There were three uniques that were spawned in this run, but I wisely did not tour the map to look for them.  The Red Armour is not something that I would wear normally, but given that we have a slight speed boost from the Scout class (+10%), the small boost of speed for a late A-modded Protective Boots (+10%), and the late HR (part of the progression towards MBm), we end up with a speed that is roughly equivalent to a regular "naked" marine.

Fire resistance was very important at the late levels.  It allowed me to eat up one Mancubus shot as I charge in to chainsword it up.  I was afraid of the Cybie fight, but I made it through all thanks to the Red Armour and lots of 'zerking.  The final fight with Spidey was edgy but I wasn't really in any danger of an early death, since I went in fully 'zerked and with 3xBru to deal really really large amounts of pain.

Most of the earlier failed attempts were from early deaths when going mano-a-mano with the early mobs when I had only Bru available.  Once Bru->Bru->Ber was in place though, I started to really shine.

And so, that's the Strongman Gold badge.  I suppose if I dropped the Combat Knife and thus aim for the Strongman Platinum, I would probably have to die at least 4 times as much before I can even reach Spidey for a final showdown.  But Platinum hunting is for another time.  =)

Okay, I've not played the original Doom mod before, but this one was very fun.  The first time I played it, I was doing relatively well until I died when the elevator doors closed.  =.=

This time, however, I was cheesing it using the elevator for cover, and beelining for MAD with a focus on damage.  Early on, I managed to get an Assault Shotgun, which I P-modded, and Phaseshift Boots, which I A-modded, and Duellist Armour (which I P-modded) just before the Wolfenstein-inspired level.  My alternate weapon was a P-modded Double Shotgun.  The Duellist Armour was ridiculous, considering that everyone was using bullet-based weaponry, which meant I was tanking it like a Boss.  By that point I had amassed a nice stash of small med packs, and even found an Onyx Armour (that I P-modded).

It was slightly after that that I made my first screw up -- I accidentally held the direction key a little too long amidst the fire fight and died, losing most of the med packs from bad placement, and spent a few clones gathering up the pieces.  The second screw up was even worse -- my cover in the elevator failed, causing me to die, and caused my P-modded Assault Shotgun, P-modded Onyx Armour, P-modded Duellist Armour and A-modded Phaseshift boots to be placed on void tiles, which meant that I could not go pick them up even though they were just... there.  At that point, I sort of gave up and relied on the respawn loop to kill everything else using a regular Shotgun, which when coupled with MAD+3xSoB, was quite potent but still not completely dominating.

That last Bru you see in the traits chain?  That was what happened when I kept doing the rfrfrfrfrfrfrfrfrfrfrfrf combination to use the respawn loop.  Somehow I screw up the Trait selection screen and took that instead of another SoB or something.

Overall, I love this mod -- it had a hilarious amount of enemies to slaughter, playable at HMP without tearing out too much hair (that free-clone respawn mechanic works well here), and had a couple of gotchas that were unexpected but not completely nasty.  Definitely less frustrating than playing 20 consecutive failed runs of AoPc.  =P

(Grab the mod from this thread.  Unfortunately, this doesn't have graphical tiles, and is therefore not on the mod server yet.)

I know it isn't as fancy as some of the mortems here, but hey, a win is a win!  =)

Well, the RNG finally played nice with me and blessed me with this AoPc win.  Like all AoPc wins, I didn't realise that it was going to be a win until I actually won it.  The first few levels were a little hairy, but once I got past the Cyberdemon, I was helped with 'zerk packs and Invulnerability spheres, and the stairs were mostly within 10 steps of the spawn point.  Several things to note on all the AoPc runs up to this win:
  • Phobos Lab doors don't open even if you have the E-suit on.
  • Single-tile-width passageways are very very scary on AoPc.
  • Hell's Arena, Chained Court, The Wall, Unholy Cathedral are safe for AoPc runners.
  • When you are mostly naked, TaN+Iro helps.  A lot.
  • Run, run and run some more.  You can never run enough.
Welp.  Back to AoMr runs now I think.  I should also consider doing HMP+ YAAM runs on not challenges... I don't think I do that regularly.

It took me long enough to get one more Bronze Badge to unlock my favourite "coffee-break" mode of AoPc.  I can't believe that it took me that long to unlock AoPc.

But wait, this is not AoPc... well, it's my other favourite challenge.  AoMr, with MGK, a very traditional build for me for marksmanship.  I screwed up the Cyberdemon fight and entered this last floor with only 24% HP.  There was an elusive Megasphere on this map about 7 steps from the doorway where I died, but a Mancubus blew it to hell.  I sort of gave up hope then when a Baron of Hell came by.  Looking back on my inventory, I realised that I could have abandoned my YAAM and use the Homing Phase to get out of the mess and grab whatever that power-up is next to the stairs.  It really shows you how rusty I am to get YASD.

And I'm still preserving my promise of playing on no easier than HMP+ for the regular content.  That 5+ hour timing is from me playing this on and off while working on something else.

Oh well.  Till the next run!  =D

Off Topic / Return of the Chaos Fanatic!
« on: August 02, 2013, 22:28 »
Some have wondered where I have gone and what hath happened to me.  Have I turn from a Chaos Fanatic! to the Deranged, or have I lost all Chaos to become the wielder of both the Nerfhammer and the Banhammer?

O Mighty God Hand of the Chaosforge, I pray to thee for absolution of my sins!  I have strayed from the path of the Chaos and entered the shady trails of the Lament, and paid the terrible price of my Fanatic soul being devoured by the Regret, the Fearful and the Morose, the denizens of the Lament, the shadow world that runs parallel to that of our glorious Chaos.  I have since spurned the curs of Lament and clawed my way back to the Chaosforge, wielding the Boots of Nyarlaptotep, to better stomp upon our detractors, enemies, and naysayers.  I cast aside the Nerfhammer -- a meaningless weapon meant to draw forth constructive criticism through incitement of revolt, and prepare the Aegis of the Forge to better serve my role as Fanatic of the Old Ways, and the restorer of imbalance to the Chaos that binds us all.

Amen.

tl;dr Sorry guys, was out of it for a bunch of months.  I'm back and less cranky.  Let's keep on posting on the Forums!

Hmm... what to say about this run?  I was getting sick of doing AoSh on UV, and so decided to play AoB instead since AoPc isn't unlocked yet (yes, I'm slow).  I promised myself to not play at a difficulty less than HMP, and so I just kept plugging at it on HMP for a while.  The Chained Court was a natural stop-off, and I got my trusty chainsaw and was killing with my merry ways.  The RNG smiled on me and gave me enough mods to assemble lava boots, and then, a tactical armour, which I eventually lost to a !@#$% Mancubus.  I managed to mangle Cybie before heading down.  I had to save once because I was going home from having spent some time at a friend's place.  Reloaded and found that I somehow managed to miss the Unholy Cathedral.  Disappointed at that lack of the LS, I continued on.  The RNG continued to bless me with 'zerk packs and invulnerability spheres sprinkled throughout.  Then, on level 24, I got an invulnerability sphere with stairs nearby.  My inventory had two thermies from before, and I thought to myself if I should go for a full win.  I'm glad I did and voila, first full win for 0.9.9.7, and grabbing the Berserker Bronze/Silver/Gold badges.

I think that after not playing for so long, HMP is like the new HNTR for me.  =)

Ah, what to say.  A new release, a reboot of all the records.  Unlike my traditional start, I began with HMP instead of HNTR.

I seem to be doing more shotgun runs these days, so this time, we have a rather standard MAD run.  I killed as many things as I could and got on by easily enough.  Playing on HMP meant that I was taking more damage than usual, so I was constantly using medpacks here and there.  I got both a Combat Shotty and Double Shotty on level 7, which made life much easier.  Phobos Lab was relatively straightforward, with me navigating the mazes with a double shotty.  Eventually, I managed to get my tactical shotgun and tactical boots before the Shambler fight.  After that, I had a power blue armour and was basically romping through doing alright.  Cybie went down eating double shotty shells while I was invulnerable, which gave me my Cyberdemon's Head.  I was starting to get tired and bored at that time, so when I saw the Mortuary pop up, I thought, "why not?".

So foolish... I went in, did well for the most part since I had a luck invulnerablity on, and managed to clear everything to the right with my shotguns.  I picked up that Supercharge and Nuclear BFG, and thought I was good enough to clear out the Mortuary.  Horrible mistake -- had to use a phase device which landed me on the north-west exit.  I grabbed that supercharge, but lost my powered blue armour in the process.  I wasn't carrying any spare, so I knew I was in deep trouble.  I got out as quickly as I could and somehow managed to find an invulnerability sphere.  The RNG was merciful and granted me the Super Shotgun, and I went in to Dis armourless but invulnerable for a while and super-shottied the Spider Mastermind with MAD in full force.  The invulnerability ran out a few shots before she died, but I somehow managed to finish the job.

Very close shave win.  >.<

I'm always curious about what difficulties most folks play for DoomRL these days.  Partly to satisfy my curiousity, and partly to get more feedback for Kornel, here's a simple vote.

This will run for 30 days, so start voting now.  ^_^

Okay folks!  The last big release was good ol' DoomRL, all spruced up with new stuff.  But we hunger for more, don't we?  Let's give some feedback to Kornel on the next RL that he should make a release of next here.

Comments, discussion are all welcome (as always).

Poll is going to run for 30 days.

After that weird RNG acid river in the last run, I finally managed to survive and get my Pacifism Gold.  8 minutes 3 seconds... probably the fastest I have done so far.

Now to find enough Silvers to "level up".  =P
