Is Heretic DM supposed to be missing obituaries?

Post by Lazureus »

There does not appear to be any heretic obituaries anywhere in zdoom for deathmatches. Everything is 'so and so died.' Is it supposed to be this way? Just wondering if this is a bug or a feature that just hasn't been committed yet. Either way, I don't know where this post would belong so I just put it here. =p

If there are Heretic DM obituaries, can anyone tell me where they are? :o

Heretic and Doom never had obituaries in the first place, so

If someone writes the lines they'd better not be [censored word] like IS NOW CHUNKY SALSA ASS WHOOPING ETC in hexen 2.

"%o was fatally bludgeoned by %k's staff."
"%o was frazzled by %k's Gauntlets of the Necromancer."
"%o was brought down by %k's elvenwand."
"%o got picked off by %k's ethereal crossbow."
"%o was frazzled by %k's dragon claw."
"%o buckled under the pressure of %k's hellstaff."
"%o nearly dodged %k's phoenixrod"
"%o was toasted by %k's firemace"

Not entirely happy with the overuse of "was" as a second word, but they work and are similar to the doom ones. If I get bored I'll slap together some Hexen and Strife ones.

A good start. Should they always start with %o? Here's for some more variety...

"%k fatally bludgeoned %o with a staff."
"%o got quite a shock from %k's powered-up staff."
"%o was frazzled by %k's Gauntlets of the Necromancer."
"%k vampirized %o with powered-up Gauntlets of the Necromancer."
"%o was brought down by %k's Elven Wand."
"%k perforated %o with a powered-up Elven Wand."
"%o couldn't dodge the bolts from %k's Ethereal Crossbow."
"%o was lacerated by %k's powered-up Ethereal Crossbow."
"%k blasted %o away with a Dragon Claw."
"%o was ripped into tiny bits by %k's powered-up Dragon Claw."
"%o buckled under the pressure of %k's Hellstaff."
"%k's powered-up Hellstaff rained death and destruction on %o."
"%o caught the fire of %k's Phoenix Rod"
"%k roasted %o alive in the flames of a powered-up Phoenix Rod."
"%o was toasted by %k's Firemace."
"%k's powered-up Firemace made %o explode."
"%o now has a newfound respect for chickens, thanks to %k."

Let's see if I can think of some:

"%o was poked to death by %k." (staff)
"%o was cattle prodded into submission by %k." (staff + tome)
"%o is impressed by %k's new joke buzzer." (gauntlets)
"%k will put %o's life points to good use." (gauntlets + tome)
"%o was pelted by %k's elvenwand." (wand)
"%o laughed at %k's pea shooter. Well, who's laughing now?" (wand + tome)
"%k shot an arrow into the air. Where it fell, o% knows all too well." (crossbow)
"%o was pummelled by %k's souped-up arrows." (arrows + tome)
"%o was plucked by %k's dragon claw." (claw)
"%o was torn asunder by %k's dragon claw." (claw + tome)
"%o was put down by %k's hellstaff." (hellstaff)
"%k rained on %o's picnic." (hellstaff + tome)
"%o was incinerated by %k's Phoenix Rod." (phoenix rod)
"%o was cremated by %k's flames." (phoenix rod + tome)
"%o could not dodge all of %k's balls." (firemace)
"%o wishes he had a Chaos Device right about now, thanks to %k." (firemace + tome)
or
"%o is just a smudge on the wall because of %k." (firemace + tome)
or
"%k can now read %o's mind because it's smeared all over the place. (firemace + tome)
"%o was humiliated by %k." (chicken)
"%o fell into %k's trap." (pod)

The only problem is that it isn't immediately obvious what the cause of death is for some of them.

EDIT: And this is apparently my 7000th post. Yay?

Since the punch dagger and poisoned bolts are "stealth kill" weapons:

"%k is certainly not responsible for the multiple wounds in %o's corpse."
or
"Nobody noticed %k stabbing %o repeatedly."

"%k claims that %o was bitten by a venomous snake."
or
"%k warned %o about eating raw fugu, but %g never listens."
