From 79c5bbb10f170752dd33bb26933c10182e25018a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mc776 <24984517+mc776@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2023 19:02:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] dehacked: improve pickup msg & nightmare warning. Makes the verbs consistent, gets rid of all references to spheres, gives terms to all powerups that line up with their corresponding IDBEHOLD cheats*, and hopefully reduces the bathos of the health-adding spheres a bit. Also makes the nightmare skill level warning a little more accurate and explicit, instead of sounding like it's just the standard advanced user mode. *It turns out the options on the idbehold cheat message also need to be abbreviated as the current one is cut off, so we can't really do the "letter = " stuff. --- lumps/dehacked/dehacked.txt | 30 ++++++++++++++++-------------- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/lumps/dehacked/dehacked.txt b/lumps/dehacked/dehacked.txt index df8c3dfb..36978321 100644 --- a/lumps/dehacked/dehacked.txt +++ b/lumps/dehacked/dehacked.txt @@ -144,25 +144,25 @@ STARTUP5======================================================================== #endif GOTARMOR = Picked up some basic infantry armor.

You're not really infiltrating anything with this powerup (GZDoom weirdness notwithstanding); meanwhile, it's generally assumed in the story that the monsters will have some idea that you're around somewhere and they should be shooting in your general inferred direction. Most of them can probably locate you by sound or even smell or possibly even psychically, but they won't have the precision of being able to see you. There's no real need to qualify the invisibility in this context, and given the options available under the letter I the need for this specfic word is practically a functional requirement. --- lumps/dehacked/dehacked.txt | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/lumps/dehacked/dehacked.txt b/lumps/dehacked/dehacked.txt index 6f92ecc6..b34c3fb9 100644 --- a/lumps/dehacked/dehacked.txt +++ b/lumps/dehacked/dehacked.txt @@ -158,7 +158,7 @@ GOTYELWSKUL = Picked up a yellow skeleton key.
