Reelism Gold! Expansion Pack 3 (X3.1 Patch p.101)

[Project Shadowcat]

It did get harder. Some of the new monster reels make Night of the Shooting Dead and the Hell Nobles reels seem easy in comparison. Combine with the fact that medikits do not spawn as often (more items) the player's going to get murdered so much more...

The added variety is nice but the difficulty cranked to 11 has made getting to a boss practically impossible.

Trying to launch this gets me this fatal error message:

Script error, "reelism-xi.pk7:splot.wad:DW-NRG" line 240: Expected ')', got ",".

Found a bug: Weapon spawns appear to be kept on completely random after defeating Dog Pope on infinite mode. Unsure about the other bosses.

Edit: Also, Larrys Laser Gun doesn't benefit from Caffeine Time

I always seem to get Famine and a powerful monster spawn on the first round. Really inconvenient...

You require the lastest GZDoom engine.

I found a bug. Yay!

Monsters that fall onto objects when they die are stuck in this way forever. I guess they never reach their crash state?

[InsanityBringer]

As a variation of that bug, it seems that monsters that climb and then descend steps will repeat their death frames a few times. I've seen this happen mostly with strife NPCs around the fountain in Gutrot Island. Also, if you have inventory items and morph into another class, the item display will overlap the ammo indicator.

I'm quite enjoying this though, even though I'm dying much more often. I'm still yet to get used to the new mechanics. Also, "Find the antidote" is evil.

[CorSair]

Wheee.

RNG God is always unfair. Be it you or anyone else.


Anyway, loading this now...

.:edit:.
... And done. And masterpiece, as always.
(if not taking account of getting blasted by nade, when crates shows up.)

Also, love those post-game stats.

this mod is worthy of a cacoward

[TheShadsy]

I can't speak for Kinsie, but I definitely think the difficulty is a result of the mechanics/pace being a little different rather than it being any harder. I sucked at the previous version of Reelism, but after getting used to the expansion a little more (and the item spawn rates), I suck at an equal level now.

[InsanityBringer]

Just a minor question, but was scoring modified slightly? I used to end Reelism rounds with well over 100000 points (I'm picky so I have to kill every monster in the level before touching the boss), but now I'm ending around ~80000 or so. No actual problem, but it's interesting to note.

[Kinsie]

This is delicious. The iRealism one made me laugh, so clever.

But there's a little glitch there. Killing a Jetpack Larry with a bat gives this error message: "jump target 'CorpseFlying' not found in JetpackLarry". It won't make the game crash though, but just saying.

Doh! Thought I fixed all this stuff.

Oops, I'll fix those.

I'll have to find a workaround for that.

Better get nominating, then.

The only changes to scoring I can think of...
- Under most circumstances, individual kills with Barkblast get far less points than normal.
- You lose 2000 points when you die in co-op mode

Don't know is it Transpo map, or new GZDoom release, but it runs quite smoothly on my cheap laptop.
And not sure, but when I got NRG and dogs spawning, and I was still mopping up remnants of Shooting Dead, some dogs seem to be invisible. Or so I think.

Few rounds done, but stopped into wall. Shapeshifter's rockets in my ass.
Also, jerk is now Real Jerk. Especially when you haven't found good place. And it is around the corner.

Now, lets throw out some bad reels what you people had...

My worst reel currently happened: 10, 12, 12.
I finally stopped moving, when I sled directly to DF Guard. And I had no means to avoid, not even pogo stick to hop over...
Also, I can sense some fun when you got 10 and you're trying to get away from Jerk.

[InsanityBringer]

Hmm, the scoring thing may have been just some bad luck. I finally broke 100000 again, though I only made it to just over 110000, when with good rolls you can reach 150000

I think it's this. I just won off three games of Reelism in a row, some even with the harder reels (such as the one featuring the archers).

[wildweasel]

Worst reel ever: Bloody Screen So Real, Famine, and Renaissance Unfair. Can't dodge the archers, can't fight the guards with just the pistol.
