Bug Reports / Re: SoG works or not ?
« on: May 15, 2007, 17:30 »
I'd also prefer a "sequential" speed bonus, so that speed mods/traits would give the following energy costs:

SoaG(1): 1000 - (1000*20%) = 800
SoaG(2): 800 - (800*20%) = 640
SoaG(3): 640 - (640*20%) = 512

Add Finesse to this:
Fin(1): 512 - (512*10%) = 461
Fin(2): 461 - (461*10%) = 415

...and three speed mods:
S1: 415 - (415*10%) = 373
S2: 373 - (373*10%) = 336
S3: 336 - (336*10%) = 302

Or alternatively, one could do away with the minimum energy cost... I'd love to shoot myself backward in time ;)

I think this works well against many enemies, EXCEPT anything with a plasma rifle ;). I usually go coward in front of Chainguns as well. Seriously, the difference in hits you get is HUGE. Like, when cowarding I sometimes had a commando shoot at me and not hit a single of its 8 bullets, and often just one hit or two. And the more enemies around, the more benefit you have from cowarding (because more shots are coming your way per turn), i.e. if there is one place in the game where you really should go coward, it's Spider's Lair.

18
Hmm, I also did Spider's Lair on my successful AoMr run (not posted here), and the Aracs hardly had time to shoot at all before being knocked out of sight again... Then again, I had a level of EE and was shooting on cautious/coward alot, so when I did get hit I wasn't hurt too much.

19
Small misunderstanding here, with "I passed" I meant I didn't enter the arena at all.

Just want to add my latest crash, the new version seems a bit more unstable than 0.9.8.5? Not much to see there, but here's the screenshot anyway. This happened running the windows version, I went away for a few minutes and when I came back I found it like this.

As long as I have 20-30 rockets on entry, I don't think I've failed to kill 'em all once, on any difflvl. And 20-30 rockets are either found on becoming Champion of Hell's Arena or, on higher difflvls, spawn often enough, and with a RL, to make it "standard issue".

When I entered I had just enough rockets to blow through the wall, because I passed the Arena earlier. I didn't have adequate weapons and only two small medkits IIRC.

Pre-0.9.9 / Re: [H|99%|L17] If I hadn't have missed...
« on: May 07, 2007, 11:09 »
Huh? I thought BFG always hits. It always did in my games with 0.985, as far as I can remember. Maybe that has changed now?

23
Int3 would not have helped a lot: I hit hell knights with almost every burst anyway. Maybe I should stand back some more... or just carry more medkits when I enter (I think I had two, both large ones).

24
I did manage this level a few times, on higher difficulties as well, but failing so closely...
Not much to add, really. It's all in the mortem.

Pre-0.9.9 / [M|AoLt|89%|Win] Captain!
« on: April 27, 2007, 13:48 »
My first win without the Intuition path. Trait order was SoG->SoG->SoG->DG->DG->Fin->DG->Fin, so I was only building for speed with my two guns. I chose the Dualgunner path to preserve ammo and thus inventory space. As always, I went into the Halls of Carnage for my BFG, I'd only enter the City of Skulls again with a good Shotgun and the traits to go with it. Toward the end, there were three caves in a row, which almost got me killed, but I was able to recover in the following level, which luckily held a lot of medkits. I rushed through the last levels, mostly just finding and taking the stairs whenever I heard a Vile, though I still had to stock up on Power Cells a bit for the Phobos Arena. When I got there, I started back against the wall, with Cybie already in my LoS, so I gained some time on him. I had enough ammo to give him four BFG blasts and kill him, and got hit only once.

Pre-0.9.9 / Re: [E|23|92%] My best run so far...any tips?
« on: April 06, 2007, 11:27 »
I think four Arch-Viles in one level is quite rare in E, I never saw so many together myself. If I did, I would probably run for it, if I had a chance. I always try to keep one or two phase devices ready for situations like this. You might want to try the Intuition path if you become frustrated (EE->EE->Int->Int->Int), it gave me my only two standard wins so far.

27
Pre-0.9.9 / Re: [M|AoLt|?|Bug] This is frustrating...
« on: April 05, 2007, 11:23 »
Thanks :)
Still, I hope to make it to Captain before the next version comes out. Will of course post the mortem once I make it, I just have to remember to launch the nuke in time if I see I won't make it, so it will go off before Cybie gets me.

Pre-0.9.9 / [M|AoLt|?|Bug] This is frustrating...
« on: April 04, 2007, 17:10 »
I almost made it to Captain rank. To preserve inventory space, I chose pistols as main weapons, first in combination with a SG, then with a RL and later with the BFG. Trait order was SoG->SoG->SoG->DG->TaN->HR->TaN... I think. In the last few levels I thought I wouldn't make it, especially in the last one (this was one of those with many small rooms) where I had to search almost the entire level before finding the stairs. I entered the Arena with 80% health, one large medkit, full red armor and too few power cells, but I had a nuke. If it hadn't been for the one Arch-Vile who really got in my way a few levels before, the power cells would have been enough to finish Cybie, but as it was they ran out after three hits already, with Cybie down to "severely wounded". I activated the nuke and fired a last rocket at him, but it was not enough, he hit me back and I died. Only seconds later, the nuke detonated, burying Cybie beside me.

The known bug that occurs in this situation prevents me from posting a mortem, and the game did not count at all. This is really frustrating because it was the first time I got this far with AoLt, and would have advanced to Captain rank had this game counted as a partial win (AFAIK).

Pre-0.9.9 / Re: [M|AoI|89%|Win]
« on: March 26, 2007, 11:09 »
I would have gone for the halls of carnage if I had found it, but somehow I either missed it or couldn't find it because some baddie was in the way. A BFG would have been useful, in fact that was what I was collecting the power cells for, not the PR. I would not have entered the City of Skulls though, because I had already left my SG behind.

Pre-0.9.9 / [M|AoI|89%|Win]
« on: March 26, 2007, 10:05 »
Trying to fulfill the requirements so I can advance past the Lieutenant rank. Already reached L15 in AoB, only thing missing now is a win with AoLt I think.

The game was pretty standard fare, though Cybie almost had me there. Heh, I didn't intend that to rhyme. Anyway, I took the Cheat-o-tastic path of EE->EE->Int->Int->Int->Hr->Hr->Hr that already brought me my first win. Used mostly Chaingun on my way to snipe the bastards from a distance, later changed to PR+RRL. In the Phobos Arena, I entered supercharged and began firing rockets at Cybie as soon as I was sure the path was clear. Didn't remember do take advantage of the Hellrunner trait by dodging though, just reloaded and fired until I was out of rockets (had about 10 when I entered). By that time I was down to 10% hp, and Cybie was almost ready to shoot again. I took a few steps back and swapped my RL for an overcharged PR I was still carrying, changed to agressive tactics and only just managed to fry him.
