Pretty stupid death, but the entire point was the Longinus Diamond badge so after I got that, I wasn't really trying as hard. I took screenshots of my character/inventory pre/post Unholy Cathedral, I can post those if there is any interest. Oh yeah, ignore the game time, the moment I made it to the Cathedral, I had to go grocery shopping, eat dinner and watch a movie. Which gave me a good few hours of anticipation, because I was pretty sure I made it there with enough gear to pull it off, but I had to wait a bit before I could devote my full attention to it.

Requests For Features / 'T' is for traits.
« on: October 28, 2009, 12:42 »
Pretty minor suggestion, but it'd be nice to bring up the trait screen at any point just view the descriptions/requirements/blocked traits. See I play DoomRL on desktop #2, and the browser pointed at the wiki is in #3, so if I could access the screen in game it'd easily save me ~2-3 key presses. Eventually I'll remember if Ammohain blocks Brute and such, but until then how will I manage?

Discussion / Would it be considered cheating if I....
« on: October 26, 2009, 09:27 »
Wrote a terminal for DoomRL that remembered where globes were after the player saw them and continued to display them until they were determined gone? I find one of the hardest things while playing can be remembering if and where I saw a globe. I think it technically isn't cheating because it's only using information (past and present) that was already given to the user, but sometimes I can go a little too far.

It's worth noting that the terminal is already written. It doesn't implement the entire VT spec, but enough of it to display DoomRL almost correctly. I still need to find exactly what characters are in the DEC Special Character and Line Drawing Set and their UTF-8 values, so there are a few things that display with the wrong symbol. The 'remember globe' feature hasn't been written, but I'm thinking about it. If you are wondering why I wrote it, it's because I wanted to resize the window.

Bug Reports / (Linux) 0.9.9 A harmless EAccessViolation
« on: October 24, 2009, 03:35 »
I haven't played much DoomRL directly under Linux (using Qemu->Windows XP) but having run it a few times I was always confused when I quit and got a message like:

An unhandled exception occurred at $0805B203 :
EAccessViolation : Access violation
  $0805B203
  $08055CE4
  $08055BB2

After poking at the problem for a few minutes I realized the problem was that DoomRL was being run directly in an xterm I had lying around and not via any of the doomrl_* scripts. This would be okay, if my default terms where 80x25 and not 80x24. So to make a long story short, if you run DoomRL in a term that is too small, you'll get this message after you quit. So resize your term.

Now instead of thinking it is possible I know it is. Didn't really expect to finish the run, mainly just started it so I had something to do while drinking my morning coffee. Once I hit dlevel 16 and had two homing phase devices, my excitement started to grow a little bit. At that point there was still seven stairs to find, and using a homing device out of fear early could cost me the game. I only had to run through about three arachnotron levels, two where easy (read: lucky stair placement), the other I was fortunate enough to start with a red armor and berserking (the armor didn't last even half the ~30-40 step journey). Level 21 could have gone much worse, it was an open level with stairs in the corner but the entrance to the vaults was three steps away. I was getting worried at level 22, nasty mobs all over the place and there wasn't much room for exploring, so I decided to sacrifice a homing device early and proceed to get hit with a rocket the moment after. Again with the luck, the stairs were against the side wall of the level, so the blast didn't knock me off of them. Level 23 was a quick stair case find, 24 was a homing device.

I can rest easier now knowing that I have at least one diamond badge.

Obviously my first post, so hopefully I got the subject right. I've spent a good chunk of today doing N! AoPc runs, without Hellrunner for the diamond badge, this was the best so far.

After I took Fireangel, there wasn't any useful traits left to take. So the Pacifism Diamond badge is possible (I think), it just relies on a decent dose of luck and belief.
