Hi, crawlers! Last changelog of the year:
- New trap: the Shadow Trap, appearing from d:3 downward. Any non-summoned creature that moves into it will summon a small group of shadow creatures from the current level, which are always hostile to the player.
- Traps are now more common in most parts of the game, and considerably less common in Slime.
- Elemental evocables now stack.
- ?/ has been considerably improved, and a new ?/c(L)oud option has been added.
- When examining features with clouds over them, both the description of the feature & the cloud are now displayed.
- Maxwell’s Patent Armour has been moved back toward its old egos; it now has rCorr rElec instead of Resistance.
- Cleaving’s damage to secondary targets has been reduced from 75% to 70%.
- A number of rock wall tiles have been replaced or reworked; in particular, Sewers no longer have acid wall tiles.
- Megazigs no longer sometimes place the player in the centre of the floor.
- The MP cost of the wand-power mutation has been halved; it now costs 3 MP per wand use per level, down from 6.
- Ru now applies antimagic to enemies, rather than Muting them.
- Dithmenos no longer sometimes considers steam to be a source of fire.
- Ironheart Preservers now have significantly worse defenses, but significantly more HP. This may make it worthwhile to bother actually attacking them.
- Call Imp now becomes stronger at high power, instead of becoming weaker.
- Linux and OS X no longer double all numpad inputs.
- ?/K no longer lists the skills “Stabbing”, “Traps”, “rat”, and “bat”.
- Chokoban has been upgraded.
Happy crawling!

Thanks for the update! I like the shadow trips, though they scared me when I first stumbled into one. I can imagine them being pretty deadly – I haven’t died because of one yet but I’m sure I will soon enough…

So funny how when I suggested Shadow Traps (under a different name) I got laughed out of the forums…. and now theyre implemented.
Happy New Years you fucking ass holes.

For what it’s worth, the forums don’t seem remotely happy with them currently either :p

The fourth change note becomes far more amusing with the excellent cloud-to-butt chrome extension installed.

Must have been the name they were laughing at. Better luck next time.
