Decino admitting he cheats for every pistol-start
Cheating for a pistol start.
The irony....
He does not cheat through actual playthrough, though. So, who cares? Imagine he would cheat idclip to get some unreachable secret, for example - that would be a thing! What? No way...

FYI, 122713351 seconds equals to 1420 days 7 hours 2 minutes 31 seconds
imagine playing the map long enough to deplete your berserk powerup.
which is equal to 3 years
My condolences to the guy who spent 3 years on Barrels O' Fun and tried to punch the Pinkies
@@brahim_irl almost 4 years in fact
Been insane is enough in 3 days and 7 hours
I have learned that all programmers just make things that aren't supposed to have a timer just have a ridiculously long timer that no normal player would ever achieve.
For 2 examples, the Berserk power up and the Demoman's Stickybombs.
Wait, the Demo’s stickies blow up on their own after a millennium (or at least what feels like one)?!
The more you know, I guess.
@@NerfPlayeR135 They are just repurposed pipes coding-wise. But instead of a short time they just put in a huge number of seconds that if the first ever stickybomb was placed at the big bang, it still wouldn't have exploded on it's own.
@@BlazingShadowSword How much is the timer?
*AS A DEMOMAN MAIN I DIDN'T KNOW AND I NEED TO*
@@Zelkata Oh, you know, just a few seconds.
To be more precise, it's 340,282,346,638,528,860,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 seconds.

As I'm not a doom boomer, I can't help but see IDSPISPOPD as 'IDPISSPOOPED'
LMAO
ok doomer
it's actually easier to remember it that way

in my circle we say it by spelling letters in groups as:
Ai dee ess

Berserk is so strong it stays in your system for months
But exit switch/door makes Doomguy squeaky clean in one sweep. It must work like Star Trek's biofilters in transporters - analyzes him atom by atom and gets rid of any undesired material.

I’m pretty sure John Romero said that IDKFA stands for “id kicks f****** ass.”
@@henryadams1412 Lmaoooo
@@henryadams1412 ID fucks ass.
id kicks ferret ass?
.... foxy....?
.... fine ....?
I always thought it stood for "I Don't Know Fucking Anything"
@@AryBerry1031 I choose to believe this still. It's how I always remembered it when younger. Though for me it was "I don't know fuck all"
I remember starting playing Doom back in 1998, when I was 4, on my dad's brand new Windows 98. He got us Ultimate Doom, along with other games and I clearly remember my dad telling me "Don't forget these codes: IDDQD and IDKFA".
I thought there'd be nothing to learn, but hey, I learned something. Another great video. Thanks, decino.
Thanks Steak Jacobs!
You always learn when decino is around.

5:44 Wow, I didn't know that was how Dwars did pistol starts.
I thought dwars was decino clone when i was a noob but now realise dwars has a very unique style and content. Also that Strife play through was just based
Rabbits eat pumpkins, don't they?
I don’t like that creepy furry
When I looked up what IDKFA meant I got “I Don’t Know F*** All”
Many say it's "Keys + Full Ammo" but my theory is that it means "Keys, Firearms, Ammo." The term "arms" is authentic, possibly picked because display resolution was low in 1993 and "arms" was a shorter word than "weapons."
as i kid, and by that i mean, from childhood until now at age 36, i thought it meant “kick fuckin ass” for some reason lol
@@conzmoleman makes sense
2:37 I love hearing about coding oversights like that. There’s one in fallout new Vegas for a perk called in shining armor. It’s supposed to make some damage from energy weapons deflect off you if you’re wearing metal armor but in the code they wrote it to check for energy instead of energy weapons
One of my favorite cases is in the GBC Pokemon games, where the Moon Ball is meant to be more effective against Pokemon that evolve using Moon Stone. But they used the wrong number, so instead it's effective against ones that evolve using Burn Heal, which is none of them.
@@renakunisaki One of my favorites is Luigi Cyclone in Super Smash Brothers Melee. Using the move and mashing the B button will cause you to rise, and resets when you use the move on the ground. However, the developers forgot to add a value to the variable determining whether the move is "charged" or not, so at the start of a match it gets filled up with garbage code and the game tries to interpret that.
As a result, whether or not Luigi Cyclone is charged or not is dependent on which port Luigi is using, which other characters are being used, which alts the characters are using, and which stage you picked.
It's wierd that I have problems remembering things that happened the same day, and the names of certain co-workers that I meet every weekday, but my brain still remember cheat-codes from the 90s. Way to go, brain... 😉
To be fair, the codes are probably more interesting than a lot of the people you see everyday!
They say, after about 50ish times of use, important stuff is committed to long-term memory. Also, the internals of the healthy brain are relatively free of hypocrisy when it comes to filtering content.
If you're like me you can finish this off the top of your head, too - FCKGW...
Hey man, CoWorker aren’t nearly as important as IDDQD. When was the last time a coworker gave you god mode? 😛
same for me, lol
Although, these cheat codes will help you survive through hell, whereas your co workers...
Well, it depends of what your job is, and who your co workers are, lol
5:46
"Ohmygod - this is not going to work. So be it."
I didn't know I could connect so closely to someone across so much time.
Can confirm, this is how pretty much half of all the programmers operate. The other half does not know it is not going to work, yet.
Watch shounic's video on TF2 source code messages when you can.
*_P R O G R A M M I N G ! ! !_*
Nononononononononono, I already have enough of that at work, thank you.
Everybody's talking about that they didn't know berserk had a time limit, while I was thinking that it ended after the red tint screen...
10:07 a true moment of ducino
I remember using no clip mode in the last level of TNT and finding that doomguy clone out in the middle of nowhere. It freaked me out and made me think that there were more secrets to be found out of bounds. I can’t tell you how many hours I spent wandering around in that alternate dimension. I crashed my computer a a few times. Good memories!
I don't remember what you're talking about. Got a video link to that? I couldn't find anything.
That doomguy clone you saw is the Voodoo Doll. Its usage in the maze is very clever. If you make a mistake, you get teleported right into the voodoo doll. Since any kind of damage given to it is reflected back to the player, such teleportation will cause the Doomguy to get telefragged by himself.
@@Titanic4 paradox
I felt very clever when I figured out the Shareware Hexen cheats on my own. Not so clever when I tried the Doom cheats in Heretic, lost all my weapons, and died.
Haha, I played the old Heretic , typed IDDQD and got a message similar to "Trying to cheat? Now you die." I ROFL-died. IDKFA was very funny too…
@@goebelmasse Cheater, you don't deserve weapons
when you're dead If you typed resurrect in the console while playing heretic it says something like this: 'cannot resurrect because the player is no longer connected to its body.'.
I remember when (G)ZDOOM devs decided to put "share cheat codes between games" option so you could use IDDQD in Hexen or Indiana in DOOM. They actually forgot about Heretic little easter eggs so cheats were bugged here: sometimes IDDQD would give you invulnerability, sometimes it would just kill you. They fixed it of course, but that was a nice Russian Roulette to play, hehe
Haha yea idkfa in heretic will gib yo ass!
I love how you put Comander Keen's hurt sound as a censoring.
Also the buffed up Pooh...
IDMUS is prolly one of the best creative addition there is, I and many others believe that some music fits other maps so this is really one of the most creative codes ever done in game
Huh, isn't IDCLEV the one to work on Nightmare too?
Also, I like the way Heretic makes fun of IDDQD/IDKFA being entered while playing the game.
Oh yeah, you're right. Whoopsie-Daisy.

How heretic makes fun?
@@grzegorzgk31 Using iddqd kills you, using idkfa removes all your weapons except the staff. It even removes the wand (the pistol equivalent) which means you can never get it back!
Absolutely based Mock 2: Speed Of Stupid soundtrack on the video, Decino always suprises.
300% BASED
As a doom modder, i was already aware of the duration of the berserk powerup.
But as a spanish speaker, i was surprised at the simplicity of the meaning behind the behold cheat.
Like, so in your face that it pains me i didn't noticed it before.
1:01 Hmm, that reminds me of a certain character with the ability to freeze time. I think he was called Di....
**gets catapulted out of the Arena before he can finish speaking... **
**IDEA FOR A VIDEO** Hi Decino, could you make a video about Hit Points? How much health every monster has? How much health takes avery weapon? How much damage makes the rocket splash vs direct hit? Does every pellet in the super shotgun has its own hit value? How much the berserk increases the punch? One bullet from the machine gun does the same damage as the pistol? Come on! It's a cool topic, please do it! Greetings from Mexico.
I'm all for any decino video, but I feel like a lot of this has already been covered previously.
He has covered damage for every weapon in a vid called "Doom's RNG"
That's all in the RNG video I think!
Also covered in Gibbing video.
Ima just say that it’s a cool idea going even more in depth if possible may be nice

RAWKET LAWNCHAIR!
Can I just say I love the little animations and meme-details you add in your more recent analysis videos
The topics are already entertaining and engaging on their own, and these make them that much more fun to watch
FPS boomer here. I'm delighted to see that even in the early days of gaming, encryption barely stopped inquisitive minds from discovering the cheats that were baked into the source code. Thank you for this trip to the past. May you have an IDDQD life!
I'm a simple person, I see a yellow background , I click the video
I first learned about the cheats from reading Brady Games' "Totally Unauthorized Guide to Doom II" by Robert Waring. I remember it blowing my tiny gamer mind at the time.
I remember learning about a lot of these from the "We Play Doom With John Romero" video by IGN. Really interesting video if you haven't watched it already.
I can’t get enough of the intro music and dancing gamer-boomer.
JESUS CHRIST IN HEAVEN, is that a MIDI from mock 2 the speed of stupid ?
It's been literally 20 minutes since this was posted and there is already subtitles.
I always add subtitles the moment I upload analysis videos.
@@decino Nice.
@@decino Nice
@@decino I appreciate that. Nice.
@@decino I didn't have my headphones on me today and the subtitles really helped, thank you so much for them!
I'm a little concerned that I immediately recognized the track at the beginning of the video
The fact "Angry Science" was used as soundtrack here made me very happy, both title and music are so fitting for a video dissecting the cheat codes.
Wait
*BERSERK has time limit??*
Of 1420 days, yes.
@@decino That's large amount of time. And i do love how the cheat commend works in Doom. I wonder if you could make your own cheat code by combining other key combinations with any editor.
You could hex edit the cheat code sequences yes, but you're limited to the required character limit per cheat. You'd also have to scramble it yourself.
Imagine playing for so long that your berserk actually runs out
@@decino 1420? christ, might as well be sleeping for 1 month
huh, i always assumed the "very happy ammo" message was due to the skull+keycard icons being little smiling heads, with the keycard being the eyes and nose and the skull being the smile. can't believe i've never seen them properly until now lol
Makes sense here, but I don't think that applies. In vanilla Doom there wasn't an icon for both keycards and skull keys separately, typing IDKFA puts only the skull keys in your HUD.
Cool theory. Idk if i accept it but it's quite plausible.
3:38 pog doomguy
One of the things I find most disappointing in the cheat codes is that there isn't one to give you the upgraded ammo capacity that you get from the backpack full of ammo. I'm playing The Ultimate Doom v1.9 in DosBox, and it only fills up my ammo to the current capacity. I was hoping to see something about that in this video, like maybe a cheat that _does_ increase ammo capacity, because when I'm cheating my way through, it's nice to minimize the amount of times I have to type "IDFA" to refill that BFG 9000. 😉
I believe Decino mentioned in the power ups analysis video that the backpack is the only item in the game that you cannot obtain via cheats
IDKFA stands for "Keys, Firearms, Ammo" no?
Makes more sense.
you’re pretty much right
According to Romero, it's "kick fucking ass" lol.
It stands for I DON'T KNOW FLIP ALL
And here I was believing it to say "id Kills For America"!
This is the best thumbnail of all your analysis videos! Of course, as always, I enjoyed and learned something from the video too!
6:45 I died laughing :D
I knew doom since forever but I'm really playing it in detail this year; and I love how the berserk power up information went to "it last till the red fades" to "it last till the end of the map" to "it last 122713351 seconds" 😛
Holy crap the list of patrons are huge now
6:35 The perfect song doesn't exi-

Indeed. I also really like the music at 6:28, but I can't find it
@@Elmom_ th-cam.com/video/FRODTitfnOI/w-d-xo.html
@@decino Thanks
Everybody gangsta until decino pulls out the yellow thumbnail
You should have mentioned that you can use IDMUS to change the music to songs that don't play in levels, like the Readme theme and the bunny scroller. At least, I could have sworn that it was possible in some source ports.
I always figured the 'Very happy' referred to the Skull keys given with the cheat, since in vanilla doom, only the Skulls appear on the status bar if you have both keys + skulls. So, you have the smiling skull keys with the weapons.
I found a tiny mistake you made (maybe others did as well, I went through the comments and did not see it mentioned though). The special hurt floor at the end of episode 1 doesn't "hurt" you when you have IDDQD on, it disables the cheat entirely once you are supposed to take the 1st damage. You can test it by putting IDDQD on and IDCLIP (IDSPISPOPD) move into the area, take damage and leave. You will not have god mode anymore.

Son: tsk tsk, if only you knew what cheat codes were in doom eternal
6:35 Ah yes, the masterpiece that is Mock 2. Also, awesome info digging as usual decino!
That intro made me feel old :(
As always, big thanks for the English closed captions! Greetings from Russia :)
I really love how much fun you had with this video. Your personal edits are stonking great.
as a 38 year old im pretend angry for how well you depicted me talking about DOOM. But for real, as a guy who's been playing since it was new at 8 years old, I really appreciate your insight into one of my favorite games of all time that I never put down. I still occasionally hop on ZDaemon even. thank you for teaching me new things about something I've hyper focused on for three decades and counting. Rip and tear until its done and what have you my good sir.
Happy Ammo Cheat: *exists*
*Goth Gamers had left the chat*
Man I loved Mock II's music. Especially what it *did* with the music. Like that one level that kept changing the bgm to the same song, but in different keys. My favorite has to be Oh Noes Hell Is Falling for how boldly awful it is. One of my old site admins still uses it to make sure their ingame audio plugin works!
I'm seriously loving your content man, it's amazing the scope of your videos on Doom alone - so many questions answered and new ones explored. You've created a gold mine of information and I can't tell you how grateful I am (and no doubt everyone else is) to you for putting this all together for us.
Oh, and from the sounds of it, you and I were just starting to put some wear on our Marine-issued space boots around the same time - I always call the 90's 'the golden age' of PC gaming.
I was lucky enough to play the beta of Doom several months before it shipped - there was no sound but my eyes soaked up an experience that forever changed my definition of immersion.
Apologies for the rambling post, it had to be said. Cheers man 👍🍻
I may not remember cheat codes for doom, but I do to this very day remember all Warcraft 3 cheats. Since my original exposure to DOOM was the PS1 port, when I was just a child. The cheats there were different (Some super long input combination, where one needed a notebook, yeah and no save system, just a code and the end of every level).

-Doom eternal have cheats.

2:27 That reminds me. There is a meme where a guy’s wife can’t find the case for “Wood,” and little did she know she had the disc upside down and the second image showed doomguy with the chainsaw with a real image of a forest with the logo flipped saying “WOOD”
0:44 oh congratulations
3:47 Strrrrrr
I am incredibly amazed that I am learning something about a game I was playing hundreds of hours nearly 30 years ago. I was contemplating all the texture, I was imagining a Hell culture/lore/universe, I was writing and drawing all my teenhood on this topic. And Today, near 2021, you still teach me stuff. Thank you so much.
That song on 6:34 will stuck on my head forever
4:41: So Bezerk only lasts for 1,420 days, eh? :D
I remember I played Doom (2, tnt, or plutonia) in cooperative with a friend. it was in 2001 or before, and as far as I remember we used the dos version of the game. we played using modems over telephone line. we were interested in using iddqd cheatcode, but it didn't work in the game directly. but we somehow got invulnerability to work (only for one of us). I think it involved saving the game, loading it offline, enabling the code, saving again, then resuming the online game loading the 'modified' savegame. I'm not sure about the above-mentioned procedure, it may have also required transferring the modified savegame to another player. if anyone can confirm it works, or share the exact way the cheatcode can be enabled in multiplayer, I'd be happy to know.
The intro is just perfect 😂 also thanks for the code you use to pistol start. Super useful! Great video :)

Thank you for using my music in this video and also my apologies. :p

Good to know.
Guess that means Doomguy is angry for a day and 10 hours in lore.
This is actually more interesting than I thought, thanks decino!
Good stuff. One thing though, idkfa and idfa in vanilla Doom won't max your ammo out because it doesn't give you the back pack. Source ports seem to have changed that to include it though.

IDCLEV stands for “see level” because you see the level. The fact that it is called change level in the call text that you cannot “c” is just a coincidence. You should definitely believe me.
love that mock 2 soundtrack in the intro, cheers bro
Finding out how the cheats were found in the first place was definitely the most interesting part. I always wonder about that stuff, and cool to learn that fans figured them out first!
Came faster than Epstein at a playground
Eugh.
kids eat free at Epstein Island
O_o
I know that he's hearting comments to show that he reads them, but it's still hilarious to think that ducino actually appreciates every single comment he hearts
Epstein? Isnt that the bloke that didnt off himself?
I see ID developers ran out of names and just named a file st_stuff maybe stuff has a different meaning though. Like sub transdimensional universally free folks.
It's miscellaneous code Taylor wrote for extraneous things, like cheat codes and the intermissions. So "stuff" kinda makes sense.
fun fact about the putrid debris cheat code, the alternative rock band Smashing Pumpkins actually acknowledged the name and in response used a Doom explosion sound effect in one of their songs, Where Boys Fear To Tread
would've never thought knowing doom's passwords would help me unlock something in a MOSTLY unrelated kart racer
