Requests For Features / Re: Mortem backup filename should be more descriptive and sortable

I'd just like to say that the script above is very handy, I've been using it with some small modifications.

the same author has a simpler program called cons2tcod, it might be faster.

myself, rather than fullscreen for some games I just increase the font size in the console (and increase the console size appropriately), but I'm in XP.

I believe you can use this program:

I was poking at it to try out first-person mode (interesting but not practical), but you can just use it as an SDL console too.

0.9.9.1 / [H|AoLT|100%|YAAM] mods & shotguns 'R' us
« on: August 20, 2010, 20:10 »
This is my first win of any sort on HMP (I'm going through the Angels, but saw that the badge needed a win on HMP); actually my first attempt that got anywhere at all (meaning, past Hell's Arena. I made a save there since it had gone so well, but never loaded it). However, it is slightly tainted - I saved on L24 for the purpose of looking for the full win later, and then forgot that archviles can detonate barrels, so did load there - once. The replay version also had archviles, so not much changed. And it is of course an unimaginative Ammochain character, seemed necessary with the 10-slot inventory.
I had a lot of trouble juggling inventory to keep my mods until I had whizkid (or whizkid 2) and/or suitable weapons for them - and learned that I have indeed been overrating medpacks (one of the veterans said that new players tend to do that, I forget who). Usually had only one or two slots for health, and it was enough with caution. Found a nuke in a leaky vault pretty early (before Chained Court). I nuked level 9 since Hell's Armory had appeared (sidenote - I wish it would be more regular, I think it's only the second or third time I've seen it), I knew I'd need spare inventory for the mods there.
The chaingun that I discarded was A1T1, the super shotgun B1P1T1, and I think I even made steel boots A as I was low on space (and no better boots had appeared), plus all the stuff on my final equipment ... the last tech pack went onto my barely-used rocket launcher. Found the assault & super shotguns before whizkid was done (I think one was in the Armory). Eventually saw another of each and two miniguns - do exotics generate more often on higher difficulties? The Cybernetic Armor was on level 23, and the phaseshift was stolen from a Baron soon after the Hellgate - nicely wrecked (15%), took a while before it was fit to wear!

Requests For Features / Re: A small idea - Gender selection
« on: August 17, 2010, 23:12 »If this belongs anywhere, it should go in the .ini file. Not too hard to change a flag to select a female mortem finish.
but supposed you don't want all your Marines to be Marinesses? I agree that en extra prompt is a nuisance, but perhaps you can put a flag in the name? Like [f] Ripley would become "Ripley" but female.

yes, that's what I meant. however, moving barrels (pushing) has ended a lot of my games.

0.9.9.1 / [M|AoB|78%|YAVP] First AoB win, take that armour bug!
« on: August 14, 2010, 13:22 »
My previous run ended while learning that the lava pits are a lot more dangerous on Medium than Easy ... can't imagine what they're like on UV. Skipped them this time.
I think Berserk didn't bug out against the Angel, though it certainly did throughout the game otherwise. I finally learned that fighting everything isn't what I want to do all the time (shotgunners, mancubus, revenant, archvile depending on position). Also learned the power of throwing knives & barrels.
I thought I should see what the fuss about the Mortuary was, and quickly left (had two homing phases, the other was used to avoid a group of archviles & revenants on L24 instead of YASDing - they still managed to come to the exit and beat me down a little on the way out.). Didn't berserk against the Cyberdemon, but had lots of medpacks & spare armour so it was ok.
This was actually my first win of any sort on Medium, though I hadn't tried default a lot and had one that was probably winnable if not or carelessness.

0.9.9.1 / Re: [M|AoB|92%|YASD] Epic. Fail.
« on: August 13, 2010, 17:38 »
wow, you weren't kidding. went in with a berserk pack still active from the previous level and that made all the difference. no need for cheesing out the angel this time!

0.9.9.1 / Re: [M|AoB|92%|YASD] Epic. Fail.
« on: August 13, 2010, 14:09 »I would caution against doing any AoB runs on this release of DoomRL because of the Zerk-armour bug -- it can make a hard Berserker challenge even harder. That said, if you do complete AoB in this release without scumming, you have my utmost admiration. =D
what bug is that? I've been finding AoB pretty addicting, though I think I need to stop trying Hell's Arena. the one time I passed it I used more medpacks than I got, so it's just for the XP.

0.9.9.1 / [M|AoB|87%|YASD] Longinus Lance, unused
« on: August 13, 2010, 13:41 »
So this was my first decent AoB attempt - haven't actually finished the normal game on Medium yet but had one that I'm sure was going to, just got careless. Kind of like what happened here... powered up nicely, I decided to go to the Unholy Cathedral. My "good" normal HNTR went there, but was quite shocked at the power of that angel and had to flee. This time I used an envirosuit and lots of running and medpacks to lead him through the lava (saw that on the wiki after my last encounter, I often look stuff up after I fail at it) - had planned to cut him up but he just hit me too hard, down from 200% to 150 or 130 in one hit! after getting the lance, I saw the staircase to that place full of lost souls - figured that would be some easy Vampyring to heal back up! Decided to win the level to gain XP and look for more items, so I was moving a barrel out of the way when an imp saw it... explosion into barrel into lava. Why so careless...
Oh, one reason the percentage is so low was the visit to the Wall. had a phase device + homing phase, but the phase didn't put me through. I think I killed everything everywhere else .. though often taking cover behind one enemy so that the guy behind him shoots him. Hall of Carnage was similar, cleared the first area but had no way through the doors ... is it possible to get the sergeants to shotgun them open? seems unlikely.
