[DoomRl] 0.9.8 Properly YASD this time...

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.misc (More info?)

Was doing better this go, but found armour a real pain. Plus you really
need BFG, rockets, double shotgun and chaingun I find, and it's really
hard to manage the ammo. Wanted to ditch the chaingun but it's still
useful for the normal humans that turn up at deep levels, ammo is
easier to find and it's easier not to blow up barrels.

My YASD occured when fighting a baron, down to 6% health and tried to
use a medikit from my inventory by typing: i s, rather than using it
with u a... Unfortunately the game took that s keypress as a move
somehow and the baron got a final shot at me. I believe I've made the
same mistake before, but never noticed them get another move on me
before i correct it with the u menu... Anyway.

Deep levels are really nasty now. Did 13 and 14 with no armour!

I downloaded all the mid files to my phone yesterday too. Now have a
rather excellent choice of ringtones

Can't wait to play this at home too with the sound turned up! (office
coffee break game for me at the moment, so have to have the sound real
quiet via headphones, boo!)

Personally I think the game only needs a bit more tweaking to be
complete. And then you can get to work on DiabloRL

I think the game interpreted that command as an order to equip the medic
pack which is inpossible and so you lost your turn :/ Note that you lose a
turn if you run into a wall too.

I really think you stock up far too much of that ammo. Considering the power
of the double shootgun, you don't need that much ammo to kill everythin
that stands in your way. It was fine to hoard such ammo at first if you
intend to ditch completly either the chaingun or the shootgun.

I would say, keep only 3 stacks max in total of 10mm ammo and shells. Since
you seem to favor the double shootgun, take 100 shells and 100 10mm ammo
for example.

Also, you said that 10mm ammo is easy to find so there is really no reason
to keep that much on you. You would do better to keep one or two spare
armours instead.

Hoard those instead and use the rocket as often as possible, unless you're
low on supplies and you need to pickup fonctional items from the ground

Isn't that the place with lots and lots of ammo ? I came out of here with a
pack full of rockets and plasma shots. I think I dropped all shootgun and
chaingun related items for that Besides, it's easy enouth to find a new
chaingun if needed and I never wasn't lucky enouth to find the double
shootgun anyway.

I will correct that on the next release.

The original post prompted yet another DoomRL idea;

IDEA: As PC goes up in experience his name is preceded
by a higher and higher military rank.
