Dark Forces really needs mouselook. Turrets are incredibly hard to hit, and one location in particular is full of cliffs that are really easy to walk off of.

Turrets are almost never worth killing in Dark Forces. They hit gently caress hard, they tend to be in corridors so there's not much room to dodge, and the weird artillery-style vertical aim means they'll blow you away while you sit there trying gamely to adjust your angle. Just sprint past and take the hit. Luckily they only have a really strong presence in one or two levels. The artillery aim makes a couple secrets a bitch to get too. e: if you're a real bad rear end mother you can try chucking a detonator at the ceiling as you run by Parrotine posted:I remember this mining level, the one that you got to fight the phase 1 shock (?) Storm Trooper near the end of it... Dark Troopers still scare the poo poo out of me. The high level ones are pretty much the most health in the game flying around at the quickest speed in the game with the best weapon in the game, while the low level ones are merely ungodly tough robot death skeletons that charge you fearlessly and beat the poo poo out of you the instant they spot you. The maze of tunnels when you're trying to escape the ice level was absolutely petrifying to me as a child, in reality it's like three rooms and they're all pretty small, but when you don't know that and you are panicking scrambling through tight identical corridors in half light and you can just hear those sons of bitches clanking around beyond what door you know not...it might as well be an endless hell for a baby FPS player. Think I only got through that bit by spamming the mortar around every corner and listening for the mechanical screams of soulless fury. skasion fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Sep 11, 2015 |

Oh man, the new Reelism is sooo good  I think the only suggestion I would even think about making is that The Jerk should get a liiiiiittle bit faster every time you try and shoot him.

Echoing that the new version of Reelism is a ton of fun. Played a couple dozen rounds already. I think about half of them it told me I had nice hair. Thank you, Reelism. Your hair is very pretty, too. Beyond that, I've been playing around a bit lately with Project Brutality, one of the million Brutal Doom variants out there. This one adds everything and the kitchen sink too, but somehow, I think it pulls it off. Yes, there's 25 guns and they all have 2-4 firemodes, and there's a ton of enemy variants, but the way it rolls them out is rather clever. You start out with the basic Brutal Doom loadout, and it ups the tech level gradually over the course of a megawad, so you'll eventually start encountering higher level monsters, but you'll have new weapons on par with them. It falls into an interesting rhythm and even works pretty nicely with wads intended for pistol starts. It's introduced surprisingly gradually, too. You probably won't be seeing any new enemies until 4-5 levels in. It's fully integrated with the Doomvisor HUD. It also seems to also fix some basic BDv20 balance and tech issues. No longer is the Revenant launcher totally useless, and the game no longer slows to an unplayable crawl if multiple explosions happen in water. It's surprisingly polished and professional feeling, considering it's a mod of a mod. There's new behaviour and movement for just about every enemy, but it's all modular and toggleable, so you don't have to have wall-crawling imps or jetpacking revenants if you don't want. A surprising amount of effort went into this one. Some of the dual-wielding sprites aren't the best, but all the basic guns stick to the same style, so it feels internally consistent. Oh yeah, and it brings back automatic Comic Doomguy one-liners. Not often, but you hear maybe 3-4 per level. I'm really interested in seeing how well this meshes with that official Brutal Doom megaWAD that's due sometime in the next few weeks.

Which non-standard Doom controls are used in Reelism? I've enabled mouselook, and mapped the crouch and inventory buttons. Should I be mapping secondary fire, jump, or anything else? Anyway, toyed around with the new release during lunch break and it was a great time.

For me, I use Q for the 'item use' button, and 'Z' for item select (pressing it multiple times cycles through the items). That might sound janky, but it works.

Is there a way to make whatever you rolled re-appear on screen or do I just tough it out until I learn what every icon is? It's kind of crazy in the middle of the game to look at what's happening this round.

Personally I just toughed it out until I learned what effect each icon on the HUD corresponded to. Of course, I also started with the first expansion of Reelism, and each set of reels has only gotten bigger and better since then, but I still think it's manageable enough. If it helps, maybe just focus on memorizing one category of reels (ie: gameplay modifiers, weapons or monsters, in that order from left-to-right) at a time? Or reference the included documentation a few times over. Alternatively, become a dirty cheater and use "pukename rigslots x y z" in the console, where x, y and z are integers corresponding to desired gameplay reel, weapon reel and monster reel, respectively.

It's been a while since I played Reelism, I should get the new update, but I'm pretty sure if you hit the console button. (the one left of 1) it will show you the text that came up on screen.. Edit: Since we're all playing Reelism again. Apparently you can do it in Zandronum, I'm not sure if that way's totally supported yet, but if not... QwertySanchez posted:

I can't get reelism to work, is it just drag and drop over the GZdoom application? I get an error messages saying 'Script Error "reelism_x3.pk3:actors/pickups/throwables.dec" line 351: "NOTONAUTOMAP" is an unknown flag' and also 'Script Error "reelism_x3.pk3:actors/d-dog.dec"line 201:invalid state parameters a_setspeed'. Any advice?

Generally when you get messages from ZDoom that such or such flag/property/parameter/whatever is unknown or invalid, what it really means is that the mod was created for a newer version in which this flag/property/parameter/whatever is known and valid. If your GZDoom comes from the osnanet coelckers site, then it's very outdated. The latest official versions are here and development builds are there.

I can second (or third?) pulling up the console to see the announcement text for your current reels. Really, though, the more you play, the easier it becomes to quickly glance up and get the jist of what's going on when the text shows up. I haven't even memorized the icons (as great as they are), I really just read the text quickly. Eventually, you'll see stuff like NRG, Gunfinity, Reelism64, This is my Boomstick, etc and know right off the bat.

IIRC, the names of each reel are dumped to the console as stated, but the flavor text beneath it is not. I suppose that's just as well, since it's the reel names you'd want to reference anyway, but still...

Check that you're using FMOD Ex instead of OpenAL. At some point the devbuilds changed the FMOD version they were compiled with, so if you had kept the old fmodex.dll around and only extracted the newer gzdoom.exe/pk3, then fmod stopped working and gzdoom defaulted to using OpenAL.

Shuffle mode seems to be running fine for me but gently caress if I'll ever survive it all the way to the boss. On a completely unrelated note, the Dog mode bark attack seems less reliable than I remember it. Are certain enemies supposed to be immune? On a third unrelated note, Gutrot Island used to be my go-to map, but I'm really digging the updated JRPGville and I'm warming up to the Contra one that I'm currently forgetting the name of.

It's amazing and expansive and I wish I could fiddle with the monster density because that map is screaming to be filled with 40x more baddies per reel. Some observations with it though: - The barbed wire around the starting area can't be flown over. - I might just be getting old, but getting to the top of the waterfall is a real pain in the rear end. There's an angled floor at the far top right which I always miss, and a lot of the islands are really easy for me to miss. - In the waterfall area, on the ramp at the opposite side, projectiles and enemies seem to randomly teleport out of existence (complete with green flash). I assume they're being teleported to somewhere else on the map? EDIT: Oh my god the redesigned JRPGville is great too. Did any other maps get significant overhauls?

There's a grocery store with smashed in windows on Gutrot Island that I don't remember seeing before but there's a chance that was there all along and I just never went to that side of the map by insane coincidence.
