One thing that was really annoying about these 'super nightmares' is they kill you instantly even you have god mode...(is there a console command that makes you immune to their attacks?)

"SuperNightmares: So powerful that can kill you... and the engine too..."

The moon shelter (at the 1st blackened, -im not sure if there are more shelters because I reached once the 2nd blackened before GZdoom crashed, but I never found a near shelter...) when you just fell from the vent, is straight left, you'll see the moon key signal in bright.

Talking again of the 2nd blackened, since I wasnt able to save and I needed to continue the game, I used god mode hoping the nightmares wont crash the game (as happened before at the 1st blackened with god mode), and it worked, the blackened happened when I was reaching the church... and I was alive... however the game crashed a while after.

edit: I believe the SirenNightmare kills you even in god mode, due to it's extremely high melee damage... however, there is a way to prevent this, as far as I see, god mode and invulnerabilty are different (besides the obvious "sight color"), because the invulnerabilty (granted by the invul sphere or the IDBEHOLDV cheat) makes you really immortal (cant be killed no matter how high is the damage dealt to player), try it and you'll see

Alright, how the hell do you get out of the barrel basement with the pushable pillars?

EDIT: Also, I can't think why I didn't say this sooner, but I don't seem to be able to use the medikits.

Also whats really annoying is the sirens that keeps constantly turning on randomly ever since the first one which forces you to hide constantly. Can you reduce the siren warnings into scripted events (like getting a object or exiting some area) without them just randomly keep sounding off? or even better, what if you can just stop the source of the sirens so they won't happen any more?

also

Spoiler:
Thamuz better not be the 'Final Boss' is he?

jimmy91..: cant you get all the pillars to stand on the platforms at once or whats the problem?? after that you should get the moon key... and with that you can open a door that leads to a spider boss battle.. and after that you jump out and super nightmares will chase thou!

Post by **Jimmy** » Sun Oct 28, 2007 6:35 am

OK, it seems that if you move a pillar to the wrong platform a few times and then forget how it was before, you get hopelessly stuck. I would recommend having a platform lower itself if the correct pillar is on it, instead of having all three lower if the puzzle is solved. I figured it out, but at my current save game, I've moved the first pillar to a wrong platform and got the order horribly mixed up. The puzzle needs to be a little less subtle, because I've been driven mad trying to figure out the right order after I borked it up.

The pillars should at least have some kind of color code so you can tell which orders you have put them in.

EDIT: There's only 6 combinations, right? I've tried them all, and the door isn't opening. I don't know how, but the script to trigger the door won't activate. You don't NEED to put them in a certain order. It's just a case of me breaking a vital script.

I dont think that sirens call supernightmare to town, it only announce that its comming. So disabling sirens will not solve anything. Even worse, supernightmare will come silently next time...

Misalignment at Hospital - Fixed
Wrong Ceiling textures on notes - Fixed
Saving - I have no idea what's wrong here, maybe Zahl can tell me more about that bug as it seems to be GZDoom specific.
Caleb as Player - Has nothing to do with Blood, it's only that the character fits better to the rest instead of the Doom marine

Moon Key Shelters - Are there to save your life when the Uber-Nightmares are coming. Get your ass into these bunkers to survive that.
Weak Pistol - It is supposed to be weak, same goes to the other weapons. There aren't many monsters ingame and I want each one of them to be a little or larger challenge and with a faster and more overpowered Pistol (or SawedOff) it's by far too boring. BTW, make sure to use the secondary fire of the Pitchfork

Concerning the Pillar Secret - The script only wants you to move all the 3 pillars to one of the platforms each, nothing less. There is no special arrangement needed to solve that puzzle.

Is there any explanation for these Uber Nightmares and what is their purpose? Are they the curfew enforcers used by the Darkmoon cult or they happen to be unleashed by the cult to wipe out the citizens of the city and the remaining ones in the country side because of them knowing too much and fearing that they'll rise up against Darkmoon but turned out to be a mistake since they keep reappearing or they just being used to kill your character?, hence why everyone is slaughtered when you first arrive at the city since they seem to appear everywhere on the map if you type IDDT twice.

Post by **.+:icytux:+.** » Sun Oct 28, 2007 7:34 am

there is a serious need to have a autosave before the uber nightmares then... coz i saved a looong!!! time after the sirens shouted... that means when i load... i have a couple of seconds to live... and thats not good...

[EDIT] btw...!! i have caleb crouching sprites... if youd need them (well acctually he prones... not crouchs, but better than a doom marine)

[EDIT] lol may i laugh??

Console Command
Summon hotdog

and get killed by a etheral soul:
"player got raped by a black soul"

I've just started playing this but the grammar in the notes is pretty bad, and the writing style is pretty naive. To whoever who's going to do the proof-reading, try to make the writing style not look so script-kiddie-like.

Also, I'm not credited for NashGore. Rawr.

Best weapon in game!
By the way, you said you are going to use my sprites, but actually you are using Erics.

I know its dumb, but I needed to write here something - if you have something better let me know.
