Title: [E|20%|YAVP] Defeat Cyberdemon, select Brute, mash enter... uh-oh
Post by: Matt_S on May 05, 2012, 16:27: -------------------------------------------------------------- DoomRL (v.0.9.9.6) roguelike post-mortem character dump -------------------------------------------------------------- Matt, level 5 Mancubus 2nd Lieutenant Scout, defeated the Mastermind on level 8 of Hell. He survived 7847 turns and scored 23345 points. He played for 5 minutes and 52 seconds. He was too young to die! He killed 54 out of 264 hellspawn.

He left level 5 as soon as possible. On level 5 he stormed the Chained Court. On level 7 he witnessed the Wall. Not knowing what to do, he left. On level 8 he encountered the Phobos Anomaly. On level 14 he ventured into the Spider's Lair. He fled the Lair, knowing how to fear Arachnotrons! On level 16 he found the Tower of Babel! He left level 18 as soon as possible. He left level 19 as soon as possible. Then at last he found Dis! On level 24 he finally defeated the Mastermind. -- Messages -------------------------------------------------- The Spider Mastermind misses you. You hit the Spider Mastermind. The Spider Mastermind hits you. Your red armor is damaged! You hit the Spider Mastermind. The Spider Mastermind misses you. You hit the Spider Mastermind. The Spider Mastermind misses you.

You're going berserk! You hit the arachnotron. The missile hits the arachnotron. Boom! You are hit! -- General --------------------------------------------------- 123 brave souls have ventured into Phobos: 114 of those were killed. 9 souls destroyed the Mastermind... 4 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind. 3 killed the bitch and survived. 2 showed that it can outsmart hell itself. --------------------------------------------------------------Another change of pace for me. This speedrun attempt isn't as fast as the last one I posted, which doesn't really surprise me much since I ended up killing so many enemies.

The most annoying thing happened when I defeated the Cyberdemon: I got two level ups. I was expecting a level-up, so I selected Brute to increase my melee power more, then I started hitting enter to skip the text (yeah, I don't turn that off). Of course since I got a second level-up that meant I selected Ironman. I was afraid that would ruin my chances of winning since I might not get berserk against spidey, but I managed to get it I guess from one of my attacks before I was too beaten up.

I actually just lost a previous run at spidey where I also inadvertently selected Ironman on one of my level-ups, and that one was barely sub-5 minutes when I died after a couple of hits. That really irked me.

Where do you turn this off, btw? I wasted a perfectly good speedrun (by my standards at least, bout 16 mins) due to the same mistake the other day...

Post by: Tormuse on May 05, 2012, 20:09: In the Config.lua file, there's a line that says "Skipintro = false"

Just change the word "false" to "true"

There are a lot of interesting changeable things in that file; it's worth a look. :)

Post by: LuckyDee on May 06, 2012, 01:57: Yeah I know, I had another look at it after reading Matt's mortem. I'd already set the SkipIntro earlier, though, only changes the pre-game text, not those after Anomaly and Babel.
