What happens if you try to save the game while you're on the intermission screen? * nothing * it says you can't do that * it saves the game ANSWERS Spoiler Spoiler inside spoiler in case someone misclicks... Spoiler 1. to the left 2. 10 bullets, 4 shells, 1 rocket, 20 cells 3. 7 (fist, chainsaw, pistol, ssg, chaingun, rocket, plasmagun) ! picking up a ssg doesn't light up number 3 ! 4. green 5. nothing 8 Share this post Link to post

galileo31dos01 Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) An exam? I didn't study for this! Let's see... 1. Well others said left, and if I recall correctly, it is indeed left. 2.

You are suggesting that the answers are wrong, right? Otherwise you should probably point what what of your own answers are wrong in a spoiler. Kind of defeats the whole point otherwise.

GarrettChan Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) Well, I misunderstood what's called "nothing happened" because I thought you can save, but nothing is saved. Tried that out, when you press enter at the "Save game" option, it just plays the "dang" sound and nothing else happened, as the same shown in the code. BTW, can I request more questions? Something like "If you save and load the game after a Revenant launchers a homing missile to you, what happened?". 0 Share this post Link to post

axdoomer Posted August 22, 2017 1. The only available scrolling linedef action in vanilla scrolls left. 2. I didn't ever count. This is my guess: 10 ammo, 4 shells, 1 rocket, 20 cells. I don't know why this would be different on UV than it is on other skill levels that don't double your ammo pickups. 3. Fists, Chainsaw, Pistol, Chaingun, Rocket Launcher, Plasma gun and SSG. 4. The same color as the Cacodemon, which has green eyes. 5. It won't work, because Doom only allows you to save when you are in a level. 0 Share this post Link to post

scifista42 Posted August 22, 2017 I wasn't sure about 5, but guessed the correct answer. I knew the rest without a problem. 0 Share this post Link to post
dew Posted August 22, 2017 1. Oh I know that one, left! 2. who cares, who cares, who cares, half a BFG shot 3. It's impossible to know exactly, because who would switch away from the SSG? 4. Sorry, not my type. 5. I don't know but it should bomb out saying "git gud and stop saving u scrub". 4 Share this post Link to post
TheUltimateDoomer666 Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) 1. To the right. 2. 10 bullets, 4 shells, 1 rocket, 20 cells 3. 6 4. green 5. It says you can't do that. 3 wrong. Derp. 1. I couldn't remember this, so I just guessed. 3. I forgot that the SSG doesn't highlight the number in the status bar... 5. I don't think I've ever tried saving the game on the intermission screen. 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted August 22, 2017 10 hours ago, GarrettChan said: BTW, can I request more questions? Not sure if these are actually fair: 6. If you pick up the berserk and don't exit the map, your increased strength will stop working: a) After 30 seconds. b) After 1 hour. c) After 4 years. d) Never. 7. There is NO glitch allowing a non-cheating player to: a) Press a switch through a 1-sided wall. b) Press a switch further than 64 units away from him. c) Press a switch from the back side. d) Press a switch so much above him that he can't see it. 8. A non-cheating player can become able to pass through some impassable 1-sided walls, but NEVER directly because of: a) Rocket explosion thrust force. b) Getting crushed while moving. c) Hitscan fired across too many lines. d) Pushing against a well-shaped corner. 0 Share this post Link to post

Doomkid Posted August 27, 2017 MY GUESSES: 1- left 2- 1 rocket, 4 shells, 20 cells, 20 bullets 3- 5 4- green 5- nothing --- What the fuck, the backpack only gives 10 bullets?! What a rip! I also forgot about the SSG not lighting up 3 and didn't count the fists as a weapon (feels weird to call something attached to your body a weapon, but it makes sense as it takes up a slot) 0 Share this post Link to post

Also, melee weapons? 0 Share this post Link to post
42PercentHealth Posted August 27, 2017 Right 4 shells, 10 bullets, 1 rocket, 20 cells (one small pickup for each ammo type) 6 if we don't count the fist, 7 if we do Uh, green I think? (If you ask "what color does your spouse/significant other have," I wonder how many would get that wrong.) I have no blooming idea. Hmm... 3/5 (should be 4/5, since my answer to number 5 was factually correct. ;-)) 0 Share this post Link to post
MFG38 Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) 1. To the left. 2. 10, 4, 1, 20. 3. 6. Spoiler The player starts with the Fist (slot 1, which is "invisible") and Pistol (slot 2) by default. Each slot has only one weapon designated to them, with the exception of slots 1 and 3, which can hold two weapons - respectively, the Fist and Chainsaw in slot 1 and the Shotgun and SSG in slot 3. Hence, the player can have up to 6 weapons as pictured. EDIT: Nevermind, I was wrong. 4. Green. 5. Taking a wild guess and saying it does nothing. 0 Share this post Link to post

fraggle Posted August 27, 2017 I never realised that having the SSG doesn't light up the '3' in the status bar. Sometimes it seems like Doom's mysteries never end.

What happens if you try to save the game while you're on the intermission screen? * nothing * it says you can't do that * it saves the game In Doom nothing happens. On the title screen it says you can't save if you aren't playing. In Heretic/Hexen it saves successfully but the savegame crashes if you try to load it; if you try to save from the title screen it crashes. 0 Share this post Link to post

Got all right except for this thing with the ssg not lighting up. It's something one doesn't ever really pay attention to after playing for 23 years. 0 Share this post Link to post
