Yeah, I forgot to post here, but the basic issue was fixed, as stated here:
https://crawl.develz.org/mantis/view.php?id=9236

Also for me the compilation needs NO_PKGCONFIG parameter for make, otherwise the makefile fails to find the contribs.

I did similiar thing, and it worked till yesterday. Today however, first I ran into problems with tilegen, and since I had no better idea I did "make clean" both for crawl and contribs, and now it crashes when compiling libpng: CC png.o In file included from pngpriv.h:72:0, from png.c:14: ...

That's like n-th topic about this already. A bit of a shameless plug, but here is my guide to setting it up on windows for easy updates/compiling: http://www.reddit.com/r/roguelikes/comments/1dow94/dcss_guide_to_setting_up_easy_trunk_updates_on/ On linux it's the same thing, without msys part, and w...

I think leaving just Natasha in might be ok. Felid enemies won't add much, but a felid unique is quite refreshing.

Wait, I think I saw a felid unique spellcaster just yesterday.. Unfortunately I don't remember it's name, but I remember that after I killed I met it again on the same floor. Maybe it has 9 lives? Anyway it was quite unexpected and interesting to say the least.

Who is in charge of updating those? Couldn't it be automated maybe? On windows I have git setup and update/recompile myself every two days or so, but I'm not that often on linux an can't be bothered to set it up there.. And it updating automatically was quite convenient. And I dislike playing online...

Nemelex is my favorite god.. And I somehow like manual sacrifices and never found them tedious..
Though if many players find the idea tedious, the propositions from first post are neat (especialy the 2* ability rework).
Just don't remove him!

Identifying stuff (including scrolls) is on of the reasons I even play roguelikes..
I'm not very good at them, but identifying and discovering stuff is really one of the most fun things in DCSS for me, and the reason that it has such awesome replayablity.

The probabilities are "if" you pass the check mentioned earlier in the article.

1) http://crawl.develz.org/info/index.php?q=fighting Going by this I would say it doesn't increase damage, nor accuracy, in ranged combat. And knowledge bots are more up-to-date(and overall more correct) than wiki. That of course doesn't mean you shouldn't train it at some point, as it gives hp.. 2)...

So it's almost the same as the difference between creature sizes causing them to give more or less chunks per butchering on average? I know it's not a big difference, I just meant that there is any difference. Though it doesn't bother me in any way that there is no big difference.. Nausea was annoy...

Difference between clean and contaminated chunks is that contaminated give less nutrition now.

No, from Mumra's link you can download precompiled, ready to unpack and play version. Which is nice, unless you want to update it as often as I do (every other day usually), and want to be able to try development branches (like playing djinn before they were added to main trunk).

A bit of self-advertisement, but here is my trunk downloading/updating guide I posted on reddit:
http://www.reddit.com/r/roguelikes/comments/1dow94/dcss_guide_to_setting_up_easy_trunk_updates_on/

I read commits about every two days. That's how often I pull updates and recompile the game, and I always check if there is something new and what has changed.

To repeat what is said often - the xp loss from draining is barely noticeable. For three runes your best bet would be not antimagic but vampiric (at least in my opinion. vampiric brand is awesome). From those three I would choose the exec, as it has the best base type and a really good brand. The re...

With the recent change to recall you can have orcs anywhere you want, any time you want without worrying about managing them, getting them through stairs, etc. You can safely play as you would with a fighter, and when you expect a tougher fight, just call for reinforcements. Managing orcs is not wor...

First guess. Manuals are generated with different amounts of "charges". So indeed one manual can give you more benefit than another. Add aptitude differences to this and what you described is quite likely and in no way a bug.

Manual copying trunk gets tedious after a while. I recommend you get MSysGit and use that to update your trunk. There is tutorial on main site I think.

Yeah. Don't remember why though. I think the one in settings somehow wasn't working so I read somewhere that it searches first in main dir and copied it there. Also does not get overwritten on the odd-chance that someone changed it on git and I git pull.

Also remember that init file in main dir takes priority before init in /settings.
Unless we are talking webtiles..

What the hell? Some kind of abyss gate entry vault?

Then if you want to update just do:

Code:: cd crawl git pull cd crawl-ref/source make (TILES=y)

I do this almost every day. You don't lose your morgue, saves and other stuff like that.

But really, is this still the tavern? Where are the discussions about viability of pies. Or what race is best to take jester into extended. Or that we should bring back MD instead of adding new background.

I guess not many people play trunk..

So, the new, long awaited background is finally in! (in trunk)
Any good strategies? Races to use?
I personally ditch the starting spellbook (got a gift namelex for it), an go full combat-namelexite. Especially since the staff is pretty strong.

Hmm.. I'm following on the development of trunk version quite closely, and I read virtually all commits to the git repository, and I don't remember seeing any changes to randart/item generation algorithms.. So unless I missed something big, this is just a "clustering illusion". Of course Y...

Ugh, didn't think of that. That's nasty..
Maybe we can prevent them from calling uniques from other floors? Same floor is ok I think an can be interesting, but this is too much.

Also with significant failure rates, and no way to tell if the spell failed (it would be pointless to give false info if you could tell it's false info) the spells would be rather useless as the info they give would never be reliable.

EDIT: What he ^ said more or less..

and the danger due the possibility an item may be cursed is non-existent past the first 2/3 floor of the dungeons - except very rare game where ?remove curse is particularly scarse. You said it yourself - the problem is not that you can find better armour - that's the part of roguelike: checking it...

How is checking whether you found something better than you currently have "scummy"? It's interesting, and partly dangerous because it can be cursed.
If we applied your idea, we could as well remove from dungeon every piece of non-ego armour except for the first of each type ..

I'm getting an "expired certificate" warning in chrome when accessing the forums. It started today. Anyone else having this problem?

Oh God, why the dub..

I read quickly through the pdf, and I must say the idea sounds neat! Putting aside that "roguelike" and "action rpg" are, in my opinion, mutually exclusive terms, since roguelike implies turn-based.. The content creation/grading system is interesting, though I wonder if making it...

I somehow can't see any discussion about the new Vaults monsters (vault sentinel, vault warden, ironbrand convoker, ironheart preserver). Due to my poor skill in crawl I still haven't meet them ingame, but on paper they sound great. I especially like the wardens ability to seal door, which sounds li...

I'm questioning the usefulness of invisibility on a Conjurer, but I'm not really a good or experienced player. I'd go with first and third, swapping if I need invi.

Dazzle is a quite nice alternative to meph, though only for up to three targets.

Well, creating my own init file doesn't really help.. And any way to force it to generate it with the init.txt, but in it's default directory, without the "install destdir.." thing? Edit: Well, tired the install thing, and it hangs at CXX mapdef.o I'll stick with normal make.. Edit2: Appar...

I need a little bit of help. Atm I'm using the self compiled version of Crawl trunk (download and compiled using MSysGit), and while there is a "settings" folder inside the directory, there is no init.txt file to configure.. I actually just wanted to change "easy_eat_chunks" but ...

Tell us what your youtube nickname is.

What exactly is the "weapon speed change" you are speaking of? I remember reading something like that on dev wiki, but can't remember what was the conclusion.

What's more interesting, in trunk a script was placed to prevent disconnected D:1 generation. So more probably, the game recognized the level as connected, and the fire-zone as perfectly passable, and assumed player can get to any of three downstairs on the level. Anyway it is clearly a bug and it s...

I guess this is a fault in dungeon-generating algorithm. I don't think you can get out, unless that potion is resistance and you are lucky. I would still try to search for secret door along all walls.

It isn't a lottery, because the combat chances are based entirely on terrain and certain attack modifiers. Hence the strategy part comes from clever positioning and using other conditions to your advantage. Apart from chance to-hit (which, mind you, is based only on how well particular defending uni...

I'm almost sure this is an IRC command that requests a certain game to be shown as a replay. Hence the "-tv" end. Now if I only remembered how to watch the replays.. I think you have to connect trough terminal. Oh, here it is: http://crawl.develz.org/info/index.php?q=footv Edit: Now a ques...

BTW there's a command to let you look at all unit upgrades if you want to use that, though I can understand seeing that as "cheating" too of course. It's not a matter of cheating or not (And I'm using the "show all unit upgrades" anyway, it's an option now, not even a console co...

Well.. I play Wesnoth on and off for a few years now. Though usually skirmishes with cpu/locally with friends. And I love testing new eras, and playing with exp modifier set to 30% to see all unit upgrades. Never managed to beat any campaing either. It isn't hard to figure from this that I'm a bad p...

After finally managing to download and compile latest trunk from gitorious using "MSysGit" I started to wonder if there are any other interesting open source projects there that you can grab and compile easily yourself?

Do you know any?

Complete coincidence, since escape hatches throw you to a random spot on a level, and a new one each time at that (afaik). If you don't have scroll of teleportation or wand of digging then I think you can't get out. There used to be a similar issue when you exit the abyss with AK at the begging and ...

Well. I managed to compile it somehow, and I have one question. Could anyone shortly explain how exactly does cleave work? I get the basic principle, but..
