Bashe Posted December 13, 2003 What decides which scream the doom guy will make when he dies? He has two "DSPLDETH" and "DSPDIEHI" What decides which one will be used? 0 Share this post Link to post

Bashe Posted December 13, 2003 Give ranges of how much precent damage he has to take for: DSPLDETH DSPDIEHI DSSLOP (getting gibbed) 0 Share this post Link to post
Ultraviolet Posted December 13, 2003 Dunno offhand. Get hit by a cyberdemon's rocket at 10% health and you're guaranteed to get a diehi. Get telefragged and you get a slop. 0 Share this post Link to post
deathbringer Posted December 14, 2003 I think its basically the normal one if you die, and the loud one (which always makes me jump) if you get gibbed, basically 0 Share this post Link to post
EarthQuake Posted December 14, 2003 deathbringer said:I think its basically the normal one if you die, and the loud one (which always makes me jump) if you get gibbed, basically No, if you get gibbed, you don't scream at all. In fact, you don't have vocal chords after being turned inside out :) You cannot be gibbed by anything other than a rocket launcher, bfg, or a telefrag (although I have heard cases otherwise, with no proof of course). It all depends on how much life you have left, how much damage you took on your last breath, and the weapon that killed you. I think only a person with access to the engine can tell you exact values. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fletcher` Posted December 14, 2003 The louder scream only happens when you lose more health than you have. It commonly only happens when you have little health and you get pummeled by a direct rocket blast. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ultraviolet Posted December 14, 2003 Because of the D&D-like damage system in Doom, I believe there is a tiny chance you can be gibbed by ANY projectile. The same rules apply to the player as to, say, the zombies. Note that they often get gibbed by plasma. I've even seen them gibbed by cacodemon bites before. Anyway, gibbing is not confined to any specific attack, but because players' bullets are so weak it doesn't often happen, even if a bunch of them hit simultaneously (because only the ones that get to do damage have a chance to actually hit). 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted December 14, 2003 void A_PlayerScream(mobj_t *mo) { int sound = sfx_pldeth; // Default death sound. if(gamemode != shareware && mo->health < -50) // killough 12/98 sound = sfx_pdiehi; // IF THE PLAYER DIES LESS THAN -50% WITHOUT GIBBING S_StartSound(mo, sound); } Die with -50 or more health, DSPLDETH scream. Die with between -50 and -100, DSPDIEHI plays. Die with -100 or less and you've been gibbed, so a different codepointer (XScream) gets called that plays the DSSLOP sound. Notice that the shareware IWAD doesn't have DSPDIEHI in it. BTW, gibbing has nothing to do with HOW you die, only how much damage you took dying. If ANY thing's health is less than or equal to the negation of its spawnhealth value when it dies, it will gib. That means that the player gibs at -100 HP. A cyberdemon would gib at -4000 HP (if it had a gib frame, and you could inflict that much damage). 0 Share this post Link to post
fraggle Posted December 14, 2003 Yeah, basically it isnt the amount of damage you take. When your health reaches zero, you will die. But if you are injured in this way, you will not go directly to zero health. You will actually go below zero health most of the time (eg. if you have 10 health and take 15 damage you will end up at -5%). If you die going below -50% you get the die hi sound, otherwise the normal death sound. 0 Share this post Link to post

Mr. T Posted December 15, 2003 speaking of something else that doesn't happen very often, can anyone else get the doom guys surprised face? I've only ever gotten it by turning god on at the same time I'm getting damaged. 0 Share this post Link to post

Nanami Posted December 15, 2003 ZDoom fixed the problem I think, so if you get damaged more than 20% you see it. I always play with the fullscreen hud so I'm not sure of this... 0 Share this post Link to post

TwiNCannoN Posted December 18, 2003 The loud scream is awesome. It just happens so instantly when he dies, body sliding across the floor holding his bloody neck while screaming. Way too badass. Is there any way to disable the custom wav's in zdaemon btw? I know it's a server setting but I want my original death noises :( :( 0 Share this post Link to post

How does that prevent cheating? You can make a modified version of ZDaemon that sends the original file size while using a different wad. Infact, sending the file size is braindead in itself because it doesnt verify the contents. You can just create a modified wad file that is exactly the same size but changed in some way. 0 Share this post Link to post

In fact, I believe with some resource editors, it deletes the content and reference to it but leaves the space open in the file, hence needing the "cleanup" feature. 0 Share this post Link to post
TwiNCannoN Posted December 18, 2003 Well, even then it's kind of stupid to have to basically "cheat the engine" to use the OLD WAV'S. If both wav sets are in the wad files, why not just have a, uh, you know, client side setting and not serverside? :P 0 Share this post Link to post
