Requests For Features / break up running.

« on: April 03, 2012, 22:20 »

You want to limit running to 30 actions a level? That's cool, makes sense. But what about being able to break it up a bit? Rather than getting just one shot at it, why not be able to toggle the mode, which is limited to 30 cumulative actions per level?

Discussion / dual vs. single wield pistols? (and a couple random questions)

« on: April 01, 2012, 18:42 »

I've been playing the game for the past few days and am starting to conceptualize a pistol build. One of the elements about which I am considering is whether or not to dual wield. I would think that dual wielding would be better as there is more firepower, but I've read a few things about a Technician sharpshooter build that is just as effective, if not more so, with a single pistol (though I'm not sure how that works). Not to mention, DW also causes a lot of problems with weapon switching. With the character I'm running now, I have two pistols and a missile launcher. When I can switch to the launcher easy enough, but switching back to DW pistols requires a bunch of inventory juggling that involves dropping items if my inventory is full. In any event, I wonder if DW is worth it.

Random questions:

1) What does dodgemaster do exactly? I'm not sure I'm entirely sure how movement works outside of me pressing a button and moving in that direction.

2) How do you reload -while- moving? Is it something automatic that happens when you have an appropriate trait?

3) Running Man seems to suggest I can run and shoot at the same time, but I'm not sure how that is possible.

Thanks.

Bug Reports / disk full?

« on: April 01, 2012, 12:48 »

I've been playing DoomRL for a few days now, and all of a sudden, when I try to start it up, it crashes and gives me a "disk full" error. My disk definitely isn't full. This is what the error log says:
