DoomRL Arsenal - [1.1.5] [MP-B7.3]

[Machine-Reaper]

imagine an archvile-only map except it's nothing but de-viles

De-viles aren't that hard, Diabolists are the real pain with their fire geysers

[<rd>]

I'm not sure if it is still in the current version or not, but don't aim the rocket launcher type weapon directly at Devile's or at his feet. Because if Devile got hit before the 666 halo, the damage will not or rarely registers. But I can confirmed that splash damage can kill them, As I usually aim Mother in Law above them and let the AOE destroy all of their 6s at the same time. Oh and BFG is even worse because the only part of the damage that reliably hits them come from the plasma ball, but not the tracing after the BFG explode, and the game usually auto-aim the balls directly at the creature, not the halo.

The BFG is one of the easiest ways to kill a de-vile. The tracers have a really high likelihood of catching the sixes, without much aim required. (And as shown by the last shot I fire in this video, the ball isn't all that necessary.)



The downside is the BFG isn't as ammo-efficient as many options -- but a de-vile is the sort of monster you want dead in a hurry, so that is an acceptable concession.

So, this was driving me nuts, but I noticed that there's a high-pitched squealing sound in my speakers that plays constantly while I'm playing DoomRLA in GZDoom 2.1.1. It goes away as soon as I enter the menu, but as soon as I'm out of it, it starts playing again. This doesn't seem to happen with any other mod. I've tried changing the sound settings in GZDoom to all kinds of things, but none of them make a difference.

Has anyone else encountered this?

[Craneo]

I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing this bug, but when playing with GZDoom 4.5.0 or something like that the PDA's cursor keeps like, jumping from corner to corner for me, making it impossible for me to be able to access the information it has, it was working fine before until I updated, not sure if the bug is caused by DRLA or any other file I'm loading, and since I haven't seen anyone else report it I am not sure if it's just me, maybe it's because I loaded an old save file I was playing, not sure

[wildweasel]

I'd suspect this is due to changes in the mouse sensitivity code that need to be accounted for. You may need to run in an older gzdoom if you want to use the PDA, for now.

Someone else asked about that too. The PDA has an X and Y sensitivity setting, should be in the options menu, try and fiddle with them to fix it. I hope that helps.

I've been having this same issue aswell and have tried to tweak the PDA X and Y sensitivity, Didn't work

I turned it to it's lowest value (0.5 I think) and it didn't change much other than making it flicked from side to side less quickly (but still appearing automatically on the corners instead of ever touching the middle), I'll see if I can downgrade GZDoom and hope that fixes it...

Sorry about that, looks like the only option is to use an earlier GZDoom for now.

[SiFi270]

I've been wondering for a while, what advantage does the Focused Double Shotgun have over the Shredder Shotgun? The latter's slug mode seems to handle the former's job just fine for one modpack less.

I should inform that Gzdoom 4.0.0 has the same issue so something lower than that will probably work.

[fakemai]

LZDoom still works fine as of 3.87a as well, at least for not breaking that. However 3.87 onwards did fatally break Zetashop's menu if you use that, you can open it but nothing works, and you can only partly get rid of it by opening the DRLA PDA.

[DarkQuill]

The minimum value for PDA sensitivity in the menu is 5.0, but if you go into your GZDoom-Username.ini file in your GZDoom folder and change the following lines to a value of 0, you can KINDA use the PDA on newer versions.

DRLA_PDA_sensitivity_x=
DRLA_PDA_sensitivity_y=

The cursor is still hyper-sensitive but you can click on most things. It won't change to a higher value unless you try to change it in the game menu.
It definitely feels like the cursor is snapping to locations on an invisible grid, but it's better than nothing. Or just run an older version

Is there a way to disable Dark Marty? he keeps kicking my ass legit spawned in one playthrought, I defeated him, and on the next level, he spawned again, I decided to rush to the exit to not fight him again, and on the next level he spawned AGAIN, it's kinda getting a bit annoying for me personally, specially since I scrapped the BFG I used to defeat him the first time (don't ask why)

Dark Marty is fought twice, unlike other currently non-existant unique bosses. If you run away from a unique boss, they'll just keep chasing you into other levels till you deal with them.
Beat him twice and he won't show up again.
Alternatively, don't pick up any Unique+ items and he won't spawn at all.

Circle strafe him at medium range and he'll be almost completely harmless, he has trouble tracking fast movements, and he only tends to dodge when you are close to him.
