0.9.9.4 / Re: [E | YAAM] This worked out a lot better than I thought!
« on: October 25, 2011, 00:17 »
There's something about the idea of wielding two chainswords that really appeals to me. :D
FYI, you were more than prepared to deal with JC here. Dodgemaster would make it unlikely that he'd hit you, and even if he did, MMB's fire protection would keep him from doing any significant damage, and even if he did, you could use your... 17... med-packs to heal yourself. (I had to count) :P Dual chainswords with Brute 3 would cut him to ribbons in seconds.
Of course, I don't blame you for playing it safe if you don't know what you're going up against; you'll get him next time. :)
Congrats on your Malicious Knives Cross!

Hey, it's not all about me! ;) I've got some serious contenders here! Just getting to level 9 on N! AoHu is impressive in itself; someone could still beat me to the Everyman Diamond. I encourage anyone that wants to to keep trying.

Good try! AoHu Diamond is going to be really tough to achieve; the furthest I've gotten is level 12 and that was after many tries. I don't know how anyone will get past Hellgate; Two Bruiser Brothers and a bunch of Nightmare Cacos and imps, all of which have insta-killing attacks! :o Better pray for a lucky invuln or phase device!
I haven't tried making Ballistic Armor before; I'll try that next.

Nice one! And yeah, MAc with a sniper mod is a deadly combination; must've been fun! :)

Well, good luck to you! :) By the way, here's a template in case you want to create a sig like mine:
(You can choose different colours, of course; these are just the ones that I like)
Code: [Select]
Arch-Vile God Hand (0.9.9.4)
[[color=#CD7F32]24[/color]/[color=Silver]24[/color]/[color=Gold]20[/color]/[color=White]21[/color]/[color=cyan]16[/color]]

That BFG+ is fun, eh? :D FYI, when I got it, a direct hit brought JC from "Unhurt" to "Severely Wounded."
Also, nice Technician Diamond, there! :)

Thanks for the help, guys. I'll be sure to use PMs if I have any more questions.
That's what I figured... I think I may have to put my plans for making videos on hold for now anyway. The clinic where I had been working probationarily decided they don't need me any more, so time and money are tight for me these days. I'd still like to make that Elite Platinum video I described above; maybe I'll do it for the next DoomRL version that comes out. :)
...if you want a setup that works you'll probably need to spend a little money or a little time...

Nightmare! / Re: [N|AoPc|22%|14|YASD] And we meet again..
« on: October 21, 2011, 19:27 »I know this is a really rough challenge, but what else does it require except insane amounts of luck? ):p
Good use of running and lots of zig-zagging movements to dodge as much enemy fire as possible. But yeah, luck is a big part of it; it's a pretty unforgiving challenge. I like the idea of a Survivalist build; I was thinking of doing that myself, but I decided I like Scout's Intuition better.

Woo! I inspired somebody! :D Congrats on your win! I know from experience that this one that takes a lot of patience. :)
I can remember a time when I thought Destroyer Diamond would be impossible for me to get. I guess this just goes to show that with enough patience and effort, anything is possible.
EDIT: Also, I agree about Juggler. I'm rather fond of that trait. :)

Okay, that was simple enough to fix. :)
Now, the sound recording is giving me trouble. :| I've tried adjusting every setting I can find; the sound either comes out distorted during playback, or out of sync, or too quiet... I was hoping to do a recording with a running audio commentary like in the videos Game Hunter posted, but I think I might just stick with a silent recording instead. It's probably just as well; I just did a fifteen minute silent recording to test it and the file size came to almost 100 Megs! (much bigger than I expected for no audio) I typically take a few hours to play through the game, so I'll probably have to break that up into a few separate files.

0.9.9.4 / Re: [M|98%|22|YASD] Bet the AoD Wasn't Expecting This!
« on: October 20, 2011, 18:12 » On level 16 he invaded the Unholy Cathedral!
He nuked level 16!
On level 16 he found the Longinus Spear!
He then destroyed the Unholy Cathedral!
@Rchandra, I think the correct answer to your question is KA-BOOOOM!!! :D

« on: October 20, 2011, 15:40 »By the way, I use CamStudio for my videos. I HIGHLY recommend picking up the CamStudio Lossless Codec (should be at the same website), as it's exactly what it says on the tin.
I tried out Camstudio today. The version 2.6 beta from the above link didn't work, but version 2.0 works quite well except that I don't seem to be able to record games in full-screen mode. (I just get a recording of a blank screen) Is there any way around that, or am I just going to have to get used to squinting at a window while I play? :)
I also tried installing the Lossless codec as you suggested, but all three versions from the site failed to install with nothing more informative than the message, "Installation Failed."
I guess I'm going to have to get a Youtube account so I can post whatever I end up recording. I'm thinking of going for Elite Platinum for my first recording. It's tricky to accomplish without being *too* ambitious, and it'll be a good display of strategies I use.

Congrats on your first win! :) Funny how these things don't happen the way you expect them to. :)
As for your questions, if you have the pistol in your hand when someone dies, it counts as a pistol kill, period. Even if they died by falling in lava or something like that. (I learned this very recently) Since you still got Strongman Bronze, I'm guessing you just whacked 'em a couple times with the pistol in your hand, but didn't actually finish them off.
As for internal resistances, as far as I know, the only way to get them is from traits like entrenchment or by being berserk.
