THE ONLY BGC FAQ YOULL EVER NEED - 2003 Edition

[snip]

I dunno, I'm rather fond of 'impulse 9' myself

[snip]

Would Nene then use IDDTIDDT?

DNKROZ

[And as for Linna...]

Brian Dinnigan

Seeing as this is supposed to be about the FAQ...

Will some generous person be posting the meaning of all these abbreviations?

I certainly don't recognise any of them...

Shouldn't that be IDDT?

DNCORNHOLIO

What! Have you been living in a tent. You don't recognize the cheat codes for some of the most popular FPS for just bout the last ten years. Sad.

No, no, no - we started this sub-thread off with Linna's code.

Sylia's an old-fashinoed kind of girl - her code is 'XYZZY'.

And for some reason, Priss' code is 'KANGAROO'...

Never been a big fan of cheat codes...

And, a Fantasy Role Playing Game, which is what I _think_ you are refering to, is something you play sitting around a table with other people... [grin]

All the ones that I looked at seemed too simple to waste much time on... Bring on the AIs! [grin]

'Genom Boomerstation, coming to a games shop, near you, soon!'

Typing IDDT a second time has an additional effect.

A FPS is a First Person Shootup... such as Quake or Doom.

A Fantasy Role Playing Game is abbreviated FRP or RPG or FRPG.

What font are you using, that shows S and G the same?

All of which?

FRPGs are far from simple... I can't imagine an AI playing an FRPG, sitting at a table moving pieces on a board, and with a sheet of stats

FPS, while not generally require huge amounts of brainpower (you could easily design an AI to do the shooting and dodging stuff needed), there is an element of puzzle solving ... finding keys or items, possibly doing things in a certain order, requires thought.

Of course, since game levels in many FPS aren't generated randomly, (nor do the monsters move randomly, usually), you don't even need an AI to defeat a level

IDKFA and IDDT are Doom cheat codes. IDKFA gives Keys and Full Ammunition (and all the weapons to go with them), ID Software being the game's authors. IDDT gives you the map; a second IDDT gives you the map with icons for everything that moves - but I don't know what DT actually stands for.

DNKROZ is the god mode cheat for Duke Nukem; DNCORNHOLIO also works. Again, I don't know what KROZ refers to, but Cornholio is a Beavis & Butthead reference, to my knowledge.

Frankly, though, I'd have to peg IDBEHOLDS as more likely for Priss's code. Triggers beserk mode, dontcha know? ^_-

(And speaking of cheating: yes, I did have to google for these, having not played Doom in a long time. ;P )

Yes, but loading Nene's Hardsuit's mapping program would be overkill at boot and that second code iteration produces virtually just a heartbeat locator anyhow. Knowing that there's a tango in the next room is good, but having more info about it is better, eg expecting a ADP Trooper or a 55C and instead finding a BU-12 or worst case a Dobie in its place.
