This has been floating around since 0993 and is part of a larger mod that will not be released for at least another version. It features some distinctly unusual (for DoomRL) AIs which accurately represent their original game counterparts, and the AIs are the star of this show. Enjoy.

Seems self-explanatory. Problem goes away if GameMusic == false. Since the linux folks have similar problems I'm guessing they are related.

Bug Reports / MAd does not affect plasma shotgun
« on: March 15, 2011, 05:19 »
on account of it being plasma instead of shrapnel. Since ignoring armor is better than halving armor I would consider this a bit illogical, and thus a bug.

Modding / Voodoo dolls
« on: March 01, 2011, 20:06 »
I was playing around in the sandbox with the Generator class.
There were two Doomguys. And the extra one acted just like voodoo dolls do in regular doom. Which is AWESOME, so I want that kept.
Unfortunately there was no way to NOT have voodoo dolls unless I manually called all of the Generator functions and omit Generator.place_player at the end. Which is fairly advanced considering that most of the time what I'll want to do is simply call Generator.generate() after setting the danger level.
To fix this issue but still keep the voodoo dolls I propose a quick hack of "if the coords are -1, -1 don't place the player in a scripted level", or possibly "Don't place the player if no call to Level.Player() was made" Might be interesting to see what happens if NO player is spawned, but that's their bug.

First win. 11th game overall.
Compared to skarczew I played a much slower game, killing enemies and exploring the towers which paid off as the end game was (comparatively) easy.
My first two skill buys were Sidearms and light.
The early game was, naturally, a hunt for ammo. I let enemies get close enough to blast 'em and tried carefully to balance my med-pack ammo expenditures. I lucked out though and got the combat shotty and a nice bit of surplus ammo--enough that I willingly killed drones and workers to get them off my back. Finding armor was a bit tougher, but I eventually found a flak jacket and later flak armor.
By mid-game I'd thrown some XP into medicine (one level is good, more are not) and fitness. Hunters were giving me fits with their tendency to 'crawl through vents' and appear right where I didn't want them to; fitness reduced my pain (all I know about the 'pain' stat is that you don't want it) and gave me more grenades. Grenades are defensive if you ask me. A good inc or krak grenade can turn certain hunter tag team death into at worst 20 hp lost. Without grenades my marine wouldn't be here to talk about it.
Eventually I found the nicely balanced scoped M42A. It used M250 ammo, was highly penetrative, and when coupled with my expert light arms training hurt aliens mucho. I started using it almost exclusively once I noticed that my ammo gains in the military tower covered using it to kill every drone, scavenger, and elite in my way. Occasionally I used an M41A; it handled the tougher enemies a little bit better but it was harder to keep stocked with ammo.
End game was fairly easy. Eventually I found the power armor giving me a backup heavy weapon (I used the RPG while bored for a while; for the final ascent I went with the two automatic weapons that didn't share ammo). By now my marine was pretty tough; XP was rolling in and once I mastered light arms I was throwing it into technical and fitness and even throwing (a mostly useless stat IMHO). I rarely dipped below 4 medkits and I was leaving a lot of them behind. Since I've never actually gotten this far I had no idea that I needed to save up keycards to get to the queen. Whoops. About two hours of searching later I had the keycards, beat up the queen, learned I had to go all the way back while being hounded by enemies, and beat the game.
I hate hunters. I really hate how they jump out of imaginary vents. The run command is useful for not getting surprised by the damn things, but there were several close calls.
I never did find the magnun though...

So, do you have an awesome idea for a doomrl level or mod but lack the skill/time/motivation to make it a reality? Post it here, and let your idea influence others!
My idea (that I'm not going to code): The DoomRL Casino
Play the slots, bet items for upgrades, and battle monsters when the chips go down. A fun way to spend the evening! Of course the house has the advantage, and not just because they can eviscerate unruly players...
Subset idea: Russian Roulette
dlvl 22-24. Six teleporters. Five lead to happy equipment. One is instant death. Do you take the risk? The rewards should only be tempting to people who probably can't take out the cyberdemon with their current equipment.
Now it's the community's turn to implement or exchange ideas of their own!

Releases / Skulltag Arena
« on: May 06, 2010, 22:33 »
The skulltag arena discussion thread. Current version is on the mod server. Current changelog and sources are stored here: http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,6139.0.html. This mod is released under the 'Do whatever the hell you want with it' license.
I am interested in bugs and suggestions as well as balance discussion, though if someone else wanted to take over for this mod's upkeep I'd be fine with that too.

Modding / Level modding and syntax preference
« on: February 25, 2010, 15:43 »
Just in case you didn't know, modding is now open--in a limited form. Already work is underway, creating new and exciting levels, and a tutorial is planned as well. And an argument sort've broke out on this point which hopefully you, the community, can resolve :)
In Lua (the language mods are written in), almost every object is a table. And Lua is fairly flexible with how you assign tables. For instance, if I were to create an item, the following approaches are all valid:
Which one do you, the community prefer? It's the form that the wiki pages will use, so choose wisely!
