We apparently decided it is, but it's still just a meme roguelike. It's shit and dumb and I hate everything it represents because it's not only choked full of memes and sofunny wacky eppin references but that is actually what the game revolves around.
It's reddit, the roguelike and I will oppose it's addition to the op with every single fiber of my being even if I have to make the OP myself for the next twenty years. Fuck that game. It's just like those pillows with memes on them. IT IS SICK AND WRONG

You know the poker face /me gusta/rage etc stuff that became popular some years ago on reddit and 9gag and stuff
They printed them on clothes and sold them. I saw some pillows with those in a shop window. I closed my eyes and walked away. I felt so angry and depressed for some reason.

Anyway yes DoD is a roguelike, still. Technically speaking. So it's allowed.
It's still pretty bad in my opinion but I guess it could be some kind of middle ground between actual games and roguelikes for any outsider.

also: get more long blades and some fighting skill
that's enough armor skill for the rest of the game basically

>>127005063
>>127005292
this
The very first thing you should do on a new character is turn off the auto-skiller, because it is not smart about what skills to prioritize when, and it spreads out experience. It's better to focus on one or two things at a time, and swap what those things are occasionally, than to just slooowly level up 8 things at once.

Check in on it every floor or two as you decide what to change in your skilling.

That was lesson #1. Lesson #2 is leave closed tombs lie.

Second floor of the church and I start opening tombs, mummy pops out of one. I inspect the mummy and it says they hang out around floor 16. I start running and the mummy knocks me across the room in one punch, nearly kills me, curses me, and gives me the mummy-itch. Mummy is between me and the exit to, so I desperately light a molotov and huck it at the beast.

On the bright side, technically the mummy didn't kill me.

>>127006484
ah yes, tombs can be bad
they can have helpful items in them, they can have horribad monsters in them, and mostly they're empty

just wait until you can't resist a GOLDEN tomb

also according to the pasta if you search/inspect whatever it is the tomb a bunch, you can get a message that MIGHT help hint you as to its contents/danger/safety. The pasta might be outdated.

>>127006773
The pasta's outdated on that.

Friendly reminder to not update any current saves on webtiles to latest trunk as there is a bug that breaks shops and it can't be fixed once you update.

Trying to decide if I should go with shock resistance as an early rogue perk. Dieing of insanity was pretty shitty but if I had been smart enough to 360 from every single ghoul I saw I probably would have only had around 75% at that time.
I'm just trying to figure out how close I was to the end of the game.

Has anyone in here attempted to add things to crawl? Like, say I wanted to add death knights to the game again. How would I go about doing that?

>>127010260
Find their old stats, then look at the code for how the other classes are implemented. Copy that, but for death knights. Then compile and fix and compile and fix until it works.

>>127010157
That guy posting in the last thread just cracked me up.

What's better for a newbie ADoM or ToME? I need to get some buddies into roguelikes and it'll be easiest to convince them by gifting them something on Steam that looks pretty as well.

>>127012205
I never knew how devastating a horn could be before playing a tourist. These things are basically 30 stones mattocks that you need to carry through all the game. Plus tourists can get it up to skilled, come on.

Well prettier than ASCII anyway. I'll consider One Way Heroics, I think the encroaching darkness constantly would turn newbies away though.

>>127012332
You should ditch those assholes if they can't appreciate ascii.

On Forrays are you suppose to rely on stealth on the first few floors? Because chainmail and plate seems to get you killed a lot quicker than just dagger and stealth.

>>127012867
I have no problem regularly using bow or staff+leather to handle threats on the first couple floors.
You have access to all equipment from the very start, so you should use what suits the situation.

>>127012867
>are you suppose to rely on stealth on the first few floors
stealth is the best way to actually clear the game. It's basically either stealthymage or stealthywarrior.

Disallowing player Draconian colors is actually a simple one line change, there's no need to remove the cruft if you just want something functional to apply for your own local patch:

Changing the bit highlighted in this pic will change what draconian colors the game will select from at XL7.

Doing it this way will leave a bunch of unused code hanging around for the player draconian subraces that you disallow from being chosen, but this anon doesn't care about that because he just wanted to play black Dr and he's not maintaining a fork for public consumption, right?

I have doubts on how to proceed.
I have cleared Dungeon up to 15th floor, the Lair and the Orcish mines, plus the first floor of Elven Halls.

Should i attempt the Spider Nest or the Shoals next? I have a ring of Poison Resistance in my lair and various fire wands + Fireball spell (not very skilled in Fire magic though) and i can punch most monster's shit in, is it enough or do i need more precautions?

>>127017382
Spider should be simple enough. Watch out for ghost moths though, they can potentially push your shit in.

I accidentally put in a wand I didn't know about in my bag of holding

and apparently it was cancellation
so now I don't have a bag of holding!

But it's okay because I have the best possible artefact in the game. Still bummed out though. I'm gonna enchant some rings of intelligence/Adorment to +5 so I can consort with those succubi without failing. Also there's some magic traps in the mines I can use to maximize my pre-existing CHA.
Also I have something like
80 K/C rations and a ring of slow digesting, so I don't think food is ever going to be a problem anymore.

So the weirdest thing happened while playing DCSS webtiles yesterday.
I was on Lair:5, with my DEWi that had even OoD online.
Then I pressed Ctrl+g to go to Lair:7 and alt+tab to change my music.
When I alt+tab back to the game I was dead, killed by a griffon.
I watched the ttyrec and saw my character spamming Magic Darts at the griffon, and the speed of the messages was too high, even at 1/10 playing speed. I have a macro to use Magic Darts.
What is the possibility that it is a bug? A macro bug?
Is my computer possessed?
Morgue btw:

>>127018849
Maybe upload a pastebin of the stuff you're trying to change, it's hard to say without seeing what exactly you're doing.

That assert looks like it's just checking if the equipment_type enum for the item in question actually exists between EQ_WEAPON and EQ_RING_AMULET in enum.h, so if you've added everything properly it shouldn't be having problems.

Have you added a new equipment_type enum and placed it after the NUM_EQUIP enum? NUM_EQUIP acts as a range bound there, so if you're adding a new type you would want it to be placed at the bottom of the existing entries but above NUM_EQUIP.

Note that these are slot type enums though, so if you're just adding a new item without adding, for example, a second amulet slot or something, you (probably?) shouldn't be needing to mess with these particular enums.

Kinda short for my tastes but it's good other than that. I have a weakness for games like Elona+ that take forever to beat.

>>127028983
Anon that game lets you sling fun spells like fist of the north star.
And if you're a runecrafter you can even set the strength of the spell yourself, you can use all your mana for one megablast etc.
Not to mention that after leveling the spells, for example fire turns into hellfire or holy fire, shit like that.
Truth be told though Furyband is also the go-to for insane melee.

Actually I said annihilators, but I meant disintegrators because thankfully annihilators don't exist in dyna, they're from slash'em extended.

Also disenchanters fucking suck and I hate their guts because you fucking CAN'T GET THAT RESISTANCE

Trying to figure out how to do a 15 rune run. Is it easier to throw ruks and use clubs, or do some magic?

DDA, I think. You could mod a weapon that does this, if nothing else.
>picking enemies and throw them
pcb giant race
>you could run through mobs of monsters, knocking them back sideways
This sounds familiar, I want to say either ToME4 or pcb has something that does this
>you could make big leaps that would work like a poorman's controlled blink
DCSS's Ru. Lots of "leap to monster and attack" abilities in other games.
>grappling spellcaster would hinder their ability to cast spells greatly
ToME4 brawler
>your blows could destroy walls
There's hit to shatter in pcb, as well as more literal "use ability to remove adjacent wall" on things like maulers and golems.
>your blows could destroy the floor and escape downstairs
I think pcb diggermasters get an ability that does effectively this
>grab giant boulders and place them on corridors to block the path
Nethack, if you polymorph into a giant

tl;dr: play roguelikes

>>127031538

Maulers get a Splatter stance in PCB that kills one dude and damages or kills other dudes around him.

Maulers also get a knockout blow as well as a stunning or critical strike.

FUN

Anyone know the optimal race for Monk in PCB?

>>127033289
>11 AC
you mean -11 surely
10 AC is the naked default and that would mean you you're only wearing a single cursed -2 piece of armor.

>>127033398
Tonberry and Demigod of Poseidon are fun.
Don't know about optimal though.
You really should try Tonberry because that damage is absolutely fucked up.
You'll be 2-shotting Meng Huo at level 10.

>>127033434

Since there was a fan-made patch for Dungeons of Dredmor that balanced a lot of shit and fixed bugs, I was thinking of making a mod. It'd increase the difficulty of the game by buffing monsters and giving them more flavor with extra abilities. Maybe even allowing a diagonal movement system and some extra equipment geared towards rogues and wizards?

Would anyone here be interested, or is it a lost cause?

>>127040106
Diablo clones are an offshoot of early roguelikes, so you could try Diablo 3 or Torchlight or Path of Exile or whatever's current in that genre.

Alternately, learn to love the Souls games and get hype for April.

>>127061857
anon it will change your life for the better, it's super nice to play from the home row in roguelikes.

Here's a handy guide for learning it faster.
The y/u and /b/n keys are your up-left, up-right, down-left, and down-right diagonals. Fairly easy to remember because they are positioned above or below the home row appropriately. And obviously the one of the left is your left diagonal, the one on the right is your right diagonal.

The home row ones are your cardinal directions. Then H and L are the leftmost and rightmost of your home row keys, and make you go left and right respectively.

The main pair that takes some practice to remember is the j/k pair for down and up respectively.

So most of them are pretty easy to remember abstractly, and after a little practice (like an hour or two at most) it will feel natural.

>>127062137

Lava Orcs are actually really annoying to re-add because they were added into trunk and then changed, and then patched out over many commits.

And then a bunch of stuff to do with races and racial muts was shifted around since they were taken out.

It would probably be easier to rebuild them from scratch now that I think about it. Maybe use a few of the old temperature code.

I saw the other anon add cloaks of rCorr and boots of rElec back in and figured it wouldn't be so hard to do that. A lot of it seems like changing a few things here and there. I'm just curious about adding certain backrounds back in because they're still in the jobs file. They're just blank and commented out. I guess I'll figure out if adding them back is as simple as removing the comment and giving them their old stats back. I doubt it though. If all goes well, I'll have a few zealot backrounds back and a few spaces for more stuff like Jesters and some personal stuff I'd want like mummy clarity. I have to learn how to compile crawl via cygwin, but that should be fairly simple now that I've actually slept. I just find stuff like this amusing, I did it a lot with cata too.

Be careful around major version tags though. It's often not as easy as just removing them, you have to make sure that the information shouldn't be in a different place since multiple versions have passed since then.

I edited zombies in my own game to be much more dangerous so that I couldn't tab them to death with a knife spear. I also messed with their LoS so that stealth would be more viable but I ended up getting frustrated. Messing around in the .jsons is kind of rough though. The formatting is odd and a lot of the tags are monster specific for some reason. Its much easier to just add or remove items and edit monster stats rather than give them new attacks. I rather like content, as long as it adds to the game.

Is there an easier quest than this?

>>127068295
gnope

>>127068295

It's easy to beat, King Crimson can beat Killer Queen any day.

>>127032413
only reason to not use magic would be following trog and needlestab
(which actually is just fine, at least with spriggan)

happy new years ladm8s, going to try and get my infra aracana win now that I've ascended 3 runes in dcss

>>127068295
nani what game is this ?

>>127070614
good luck anon, it's a super fun game

>>127071663
most likely poschengband, though I think that monster is also in furyband, hengband, chengband, and maybe zangband

>>127071663
There was a jojo roguelike but I don't think this is it.

First time I got this far.
I know, Im a scrub.

Entered the spider caves because i trusted the wiki, immediately had 6 spiders around me, tried to leave but was trapped by spiders. tried to fear them, got fucked.

What could I have done better/different?

I wasn't too impressed with cult of personality, but I think getting his cyberdemon summon is the only way I could have killed him, so maybe all you advocates for it had a point.

A lot of the really awful serpent summons are demonic too, so I'm not sure what the plan will be for that.

master stair-fighting

>>127073062
I took all 6 spiders/scorpions with me when I changed level.

How do I fight them on the stairs when all of them follow me?

>>127073195
Go up when only one or two are next to you r funnel them into a corridor.

Sokoban would be fun if it wasn't paired with a roguelike game.

>>127072094
7th something, right?

>>127075702
well...the inspiration it's just from a game called Sokoban, a japanese pure puzzler. Maybe you'd enjoy looking that up.

>>127075818
I thought everyone knew Sokoban. There's a million games about it.

>>127075762
7th Stand User is a jrpg.
Diavolo no Daibouken (sp) is the jojo rl.
The game in anon's screenshot is Poschengband.

Traditional puzzles don't let me kill things.

Is the moving darkness mechanic of One Way Heroics as annoying as it sounds? I feel like it would just end up annoying me mostly.

>>127077089
It's the only thing in this game stopping you from becoming literally immortal.
It's not annoying, it's kinda necessary.
The game's easy anyway.

>>127076450
>Diavolo no Daibouken
too bad it never got a translation

page 10 bump

>>127076798
then you like it's roguelike pairing?
>>127077089
i think it's pretty neat

>>127077194
>It's the only thing in this game stopping you from becoming literally immortal.
What does this even mean? Other roguelikes allow some level of grinding regardless of efficiency/safety, but you'll never become invincible.

>>127077194
Is Plus worth it or is the base game just fine?

I just want to win a roguelike

Anything is fine

A little out of his depth.

Found a wand of disintegration, so I have one non-guaranteed endgame device now! This is going to be slower than healing potions, I know it.

I found a solution: get hit by two mana storms before your next action and die.

Demon warlocks seem strong enough (though I never had to fight the high end lovecraft or balrog uniques). Might even be a better devicemaster than devicemasters.

>>127082779
Double move manastorm is my favorite *band feature.

Anyone played Sword of the Stars: The Pit? Got gifted it over Steam and never heard of it before, but it seems to be a roguelike from what I'm seeing. That I never hear about it in these threads makes me a bit wary though.

>>127077194
please respond

So, what IS the best roguelike game that /rlg/ generally agrees upon?

>>127083346
ZHP

>>127082779
>fast (+29)
>(+29)
>29
>30-1

YOU HAD ONE JOB

>>127081527
Just play a pcb meme knight

>>127068295
It has no weakness.

>>127083346
dcss, since /rlg/ nearly is a dcss general.

>>127083346
/rlg/ doesn't universally agree on anything.

>>127082779
fuuuuck
I lost a super promising level 50 character in vanilla to that once, specifically to the Mouth of Sauron in fact. I think it was a 0.003% chance of happening :)
The odds are different in poscheng of course, and the semi-randomized-speed means you can't fully avoid the possibility of a double move as one can in vanilla.

>>127083528
yeah, rip...though as I just said above in this post, poschengband speed advantage is not a 100% guarantee of doublemove prevention. But still it's an order of magnitude rarer when you force the RNG to jump an extra hurdle.

The dead anon maybe could have dropped some weight or something to get one speed.

>>127083956
>The dead anon maybe could have dropped some weight or something to get one speed.
Nah. Haste (+10), ring of speed (+12), spear of hagen (+3), crimson (+4).

Maybe I could have shuffled some things around to get more speed, though I'm not sure I had anything higher for the weapon slot. Guess I should have tried to work the +7 speed boots into my gear and found a way to get rNether and 5 chr elsewhere.

>>127083346
We can't agree on anything and scare away newbies because they ask what they should start with, someone suggests something, then arguments break out whether it's shit or not.

I feel like those types of situations involve 5-7 anons giving good serious answers, and about 3 anons samefagging up a huge shitposting argument

We're terrible people.
