I can't find any sort of explanation of what all the different pickups in the Skulltag Arena mod for DoomRL do.

The tiles are definitely very good, but I prefer ASCII just because I can see the whole map at once, without panning around everywhere.

You need a bigger monitor. For roguelikes.

Would you say Pixel Dungeon is more of an iPad game, or would it work fine on a phone?

It works fine on a phone in portrait or landscape mode. I played it for months before I switched to an iPhone and it's the game I miss most.

Anyone still playing DoomRL? How long do they usually go between versions? It's been a year and change.

I'm trying to set up CotND for play with an Xbox 360 controller and while the directional movements and pause button work fine, there is evidently no confirm button nor any way to get out of the pause menu without using the keyboard once I'm in it.

Necrodancer's hardcore mode seems kind of BS. You start off with only two heart containers, so most of the dangerous enemies will one-shot you. Unless you get lucky and the first shop sells an extra heart container or some good armor, you'll die from a single mistake.

I too hate it when hard mode is hard.

The map pool is pretty big and each one has a few starting locations, but yeah, they're premade.

My practice DoomRL run before I LP it for the thread just ended on Deimos with me at low health, no protective boots drop, and a river of acid between me and the stairs. :saddowns:

4 loving agility mods in the space of 2 levels

ive found like 9 so far

So that's where all mine went. I got all the way to halfway through episode 3 yesterday with Steel Boots (A)

I have seen like 2 power mods total in my last 8-9 games. It sucks having to move to pump the shotgun.

You can actually pump the shotgun in place by hitting the reload key. Moving is still probably better because it lets you dodge, though.

Yeah, in later levels you pretty much want to spend as much time as possible running if you're shotgun built.

It only works with shotguns, pistols, rockets, (not counting storm bolter or GCB) and BFGs that aren't the BFG10k. Shotguns and rockets benefit from Shottyman during this, though doing this with rockets is probably not the best idea most of the time.

I was thinking more along the lines of barrels/items being uncontrollably blasted if you're firing a shotgun every time you move.

Is there an .ini file or something i can edit to get all the poo poo unlocked in doomrl? I built a new machine between now and the last time i played it and i completely forgot that you have to do a boring run before you can play angel games.

Player.wad and score.wad are the files you need to bring over if you still have the old install you were playing somewhere.

I've now made it down to floor 44 in DoomRL on my HMP Ao100 run. Holy poo poo having sound makes a big difference. Just being able to go "oh, there's an archvile nearby, I should use rockets" is huge.

I also haven't had any crashes or lag with the new sound code, so I'll probably turn it on-by-default on the server soon.

Gibbed corpses can't be resurrected, right?

Speaking of weapon restricted Angel runs, my favorite thing about Angel of Shotgunnery is when no sergeants spawn on Phobos 2 and you can't do Hell's Arena without running out of ammo.

i find that i don't play the "mash my face against every wall" game in roguelikes nearly as much as i do in non-procedurally generated games because if that knowledge of where the secret's hiding isn't going to help future games the reward:effort ratio goes way the gently caress down

How many times do you replay the average non-procedural game?
