Ashes Afterglow TC - closing the vault

Not sure where the spoiler is in that one, but whatever.

Imo anything that mentions large game progress such as Locations Guns or Characters is a spoiler. It doesn't hurt to be extra careful.

Quick question regarding The Rink (map 18) in 1.06.

Am I not supposed to get all my stuff back after the rink fight? Was it changed from 1.05, or did I remember it wrongly?

For Quizdude i updated my answer for ya.

You are supposed to get your weapons back. I played through that section now and it went fine for me. Did you perhaps pick up the Jackhammer in the arena in that map perhaps? Cause i don't know but i'm guessing it might effect you not getting your weapons back somehow? Keep in mind this is only a theory. (EDIT) I tested out my theory and found out it has nothing to do with th Jackhammer at all. Something really wierd must have happened with your save Quizdude

I checked out all the scripts and tried a few replays going in from map 17. There seems to be no error in map 18; instead, the most likely reason why my guns were not respawned in the locker room, and why I had also lost my inventory items (but not the collectibles), is that I died at the end of map 17 when that ghost lady smashed me against the wall, probably due to the lack of remaining health and/or armor that caused the smash to reduce my health to 0 -- which I hadn't noticed since it was immediately restored to 30 in the sequence after.

I guess, a possible fix would be a check that the player health never falls below 1 in the smashing scene.

Hey Vos I have a question for ya, in Michonne theirs a guy who talks about his station, Somerville I think, but he mentions the entry being blown to smithereens, but mentions a secondary entry at the outskirts with these things called wendigos or something, now this sounds deliciously creepy could this possibly be added in a future update or is it just fluff and filler for the lore, both I'm fine with, anyways have a good evening yall

It's a long-known release bug and Vostyok promised to fix it at page 30(or 31).

I honestly think that there should be some kind of guide that describes how to get on Walker's good side without asking too much questions as i have no bloody clue as what to do. And in general it seems like a massive chore to figure out which dialogue options you gotta choose without pissing him off or whatever. It honestly feels like a confusing questline. As to my knowledge there's no real way of going through it without avoiding asking Walker a question. As choosing ''i guess i'll never find out what happened'' forces the dialogue into his pissed asking you what you are doing here. Same goes with ''i don't really have time to chat'' Which honestly doesn't make sense as that should pull you out of the dialogue but it instead forces you into his pissed off dialogue. The same dialogue also pops up when you choose the option ''sounds very convenient for you...'' I just don't get it. It just seems raw.

I would like to see a guide too. Talking with Walker is such a pain in the ass.

Goes without mention of course, but congrats to the team for getting one of the cacowards this year! An absolute treat of a mod, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for it

Well, bummer. Such info should be placed prominently right next to the download link.

Thank you! It was a really nice award article by the way.


About Walker: he always gets irritated by you being there, but as long as you get his quest (find the camp) it doesn't affect anything (make sure you go see him afterwards)

About the death exit bug - thought I fixed this but it once again rears its head. Will see what I can do for next patch.

About Somerville Station - this is indeed a story hook for future content. You'll wish it wasn't.

Two of the Cacowards, even!

[Captain J]

Winning Cacoward was obvious because i genuinely cannot fathom how many heart and soul you put into this project. Post-Apocalyptic RPG genre in doom is something that harmonizes really well!

Congratulations on winning it because you certainly deserve it!

The absolutely easiest thing would probably be putting a few painkillers and an armor behind the entrance door, so the scavver will always run into them and get to 100% health and armor. That should prevent him from getting down to 0% when thrown against the wall.

Cool, Can't wait, didn't you also mention somewhere about a new prequel expansion coming soon or something?

[AmissaAnima]

I believe Walker got to have that trunk of wood jammed up his ass removed.

Also Vos and the team, congrats on the not 1 but 2 cacoawards. I knew Ashes would be up to the mark and it really shows, this years been a great year for doom modding in general, you and the team have put so much effort and time to bring this nuclear hellscape to life I'm happy for you.
