Rare obituaries and self-obituaries?

#1

I was working on a german translation for DOOM II and Skulltag actors and I came across some obituaries in the LANGUAGE definition:

Code: Select all

// Obituary strings.
OB_FIST_2 = "%o was fisted by %k.";
OB_FIST_RARE = "%o was molested by %k's fist.";
OB_PISTOL_RARE = "%o got a cap popped in %p ass by %k.";
OB_CHAINSAW_RARE = "%o was h4x0r3d by %k's chainsaw.";
OB_ROCKET_GIB = "%o was gibbed by %k's rocket.";
OB_ROCKET_GIB_2 = "%o was souped by %k's rocket.";
OB_ROCKET_GIB_3 = "%o was blown to bits by %k's rocket.";
OB_ROCKET_GIB_4 = "%o was shredded by %k's rocket.";
OB_ROCKET_RARE = "%o was assraped by %k's rocket.";
OB_ROCKET_SELF_2 = "%o discovers splash damage.";
OB_ROCKET_SELF_3 = "%o blew %hself up.";
OB_ROCKET_SELF_RARE = "%o blew %p own dumbass up.";
OB_GRENADE = "%o caught %k's grenade.";
OB_GRENADE_SPLASH = "%o was shredded by %k's shrapnel.";
OB_GRENADE_SELF = "%o tripped %p own grenade.";
OB_PLASMARIFLE_RARE = "%o was owned %k's plasma gun.";
OB_BFG_GIB_RARE = "%o was gibbed by %k's big fucking gun.";

OB_IMPALED = "%o got impaled on a stick.";
OB_SPACE = "%o tried to explore space.";
OB_SELF_2 = "%o had a heart attack.";
OB_FALL_2 = "%o went splat.";
OB_EXIT_2 = "%o seems bored on this level.";
OB_REFLECTION = "%o was killed via %k's reflection rune.";
But I never saw these obituaries. Are these unused, scrapped or really really rare?

It would be awesome to have rare obituaries that show by a chance of 1/10 or 1/100 instead of the normal obituary just by adding a extra string with the "_RARE" at the end.

There are also self-obituaries for weapons like the BFG10k from Skulltag. Is it possible to create self-obituaries for custom weapons or are they hard-coded? ???

There was something about a 'bloodbath announcer' for skulltag or whatever but I'm sure it only mattered in the stone ages. Those obits probably go along with that.
