Just a thought, it would be really cool, if a barrel that gets hit by a rocket or gets caught in an explosion, changes its possition a bit. This way, moving barrels away from a lever (my, could that be the explosion lever?) wouldn't guarantee that hte lever (or you) gets caught in the explosion. In the beta, if an imp hits the marine with a fireball it is possible for him to move even two spaces. So why barrels shouldn't?
-
because they violently explode on contact with anything stronger than a stiff breeze, I'd imagine
-
The problem is you still want to be able to be able to break barrels with bullets so you can't make them tough enough to be able to suffer a knockback without blowing up.
On a related matter i'd like to see barrels getting knocked back before exploding. (I'd see fun times with shotguns and close-by barrels :P).

If the barrel gets hit by an explosion, it should get knockbacked, just a little bit. That's what I am talking about from the beginning [;

Well if there was an explosion where the barrel was in the first place, wouldn't that explosion destroy the items anyways?
Plus - if this were implemented, barrel special levels would become a new hazard - instead of just staying outside of a certain distance from barrels you can see, you need to somehow(!) anticipate which direction the barrel chain reactions will push them and stay FARTHER away from barrels. Plus, the game mechanics of the order in which barrel explosions are handled become far more important as a different order of resolution would give different results as to where explosions take place.

Melon has a point, if DooMRL is trying to mimic doom, then 'barrel-damage-pushing' should be included. but, like in good old doom 1, anything more than an half missed shotgun shot would cause it to detonate. also, while we are on the topic of barrels, perhaps on harder levels (such as the hell one's) we could have some more deviating/powerful ones with a higher splash and damage. just an idea....
-
Meh... I know moving barrels when shot is Doomish, but at the other hand I'd think it would ruin part of the strategy. I think for a roguelike (which DoomRL still is after all) it's more logic to just keep it this way... Let barrels move when pushed, and just explode in the same position when shot.

Let's just say that Kornel is way ahead of you. Wait until next stable release.

The barrel explodes! The cyberdemon is turned into a pile of gibs! The cyberdemon is turned into a pile of gibs! The cyberdem... yeah, I'll shut up now.
Time to figure out how to make cyberdemons (with normal LOS, of course) appear past level 26 randomly, and appear IN EVERY DAMN EMPTY SPACE in level 75+ :P

So you have finished Ao1000 on Nightmare! already?
-
Considering I still haven't unlocked either, no. I just want to be silly. ;P
noone will ever part me from my large medpacks you hear me AoI
-
Ao1000 :DDDDDDDD
EDIT : Actually, how about it -- Angel of Infinity -- you can never finish, but you can go into further levels -- Master Traits can be combined, level cap is at the end of possible trait choices, and the monsters start to gain accuracy +2 and +10 hp each 25 levels after 50 :)
-
Make it so that every time you reach max traits, push the 'limitless' traits' max up by one. Also, make the angel available from the start :P
o hai look I can fire off the whole of both my pistol clips in a tenth of a second, then reload them in another tenth of a second :D did I also mention my pistols do 2d65536 damage? :P
-
Lower floors on Ao100 already push the ammo consumption to the max - if you don't find former captains you run out of stocked ammo (1000+ 10mm rounds in backpack!) in one level or two. after 2 or 3 +10hp's enemies would soak up a ridiculous amount of ammo.
I am intrigued at uncapped traits though - and removing the level cap for stackable traits would be nice, too (Son of a Gun 4? *rubs hands in glee*)

Hey, great idea. Not to say, that utterly mad!
