There is not an observable difference between the way things seem to happen and the way they actually are. If there were an observable difference, then they would have seemed to happen differently. Again, the entire concept of science and observation says that you're wrong. By definition, there can...

EDIT: Ignore me and see below.

Isn't they supposed to be weaker versions of original monster? No way. Simulacra are glass cannon versions of the normal monsters. They get a massive cold brand damage boost but lose HP. 11:00 <blackcustard> @??4-headed hydra 11:00 <Gretell> hydra (D) | Spd: 10 (swim: 60%) | HD: 13 | HP: 54-90 | AC...

(Had 16 stealth and dragon form so I didn't make any footsteps and they'd still wake up way before I strolled up to them for a stab) I just wiztested this. At least as felid, dragon form reduces your stealth. Which makes sense, you know, seeing as you are transforming from a lithe and nimble, natur...

johlstei is exactly right, and I facepalmed quite hard when I saw his post.

My only defense is that I posted in CYC where it's okay to look like an idiot.

This is not a serious suggestion. https://crawl.develz.org/mantis/view.php?id=7702 elliptic: My concern about this is that people will want to cast it at the end of every battle to refresh the "duration", since even if it is still up, it might have lost some. Thus it won't actually be true...

Wouldn't it be OP if we could use telekinetic thrust on our Shmerkin jerkins to launch them into combat?

Looks like team Yuif's blasting off again!!!

That vault isn't supposed to be accessible, it is lemuel_jelly_drop_a in variable/mini_monsters.des .

It's just a bunch of jellies and teleport traps in a maze.

Or use ^= to prepend.

message_colour ^= mute:.*

I always keep swiftness up if I have it. The traps are relevant I guess, but being fast all the time is worth it. Same with RMsl, shroud, phase shift, Ozocubu's armour, stoneskin, etc. DMsl I find is too expensive for that, so I just back up and cast it when I see ranged things. Haste you cast when ...

It is a potion of brilliance, not a potion of curing or an amulet of clarity. It would be weird for brilliance to do this too.

That said, I find I never drink my brilliance potions. So maybe they are a bit underpowered? I definitely use might and agility though ...

I agree that show_inventory_weights should probably default to true. Why would a player explicitly choose to turn them off? They just hate having a tiny little bit of text with useful information in a usually empty part of the inventory screen?

5. New Abyss can NOT place the rune in a chaos knight's starting Abyss. Just like old Abyss. See _abyss_create_items in abyss.cc. 7. "autofight_stop = 30". See options_guide.txt. 8. Uhh ... Crawl is open source. It is ALL user created content. You could check the tracker for vaults that we...

>1) I was wondering if there is a possiblity to modify the autopickup to pickup the first cloak, boot, etc. without having to spell it out in the RCFile. I was thinking of something much like we used to have when autopickup would pickup a butchering item, if there was not already one in the inventor...

red_kangaroo: Crawl isn't IVAN. The limb and material systems work for IVAN, but that is not a good reason to add them to Crawl. In IVAN, you want to upgrade your equipment for two reasons, AFAIK: 1. Better material equipment is better -- I do not think a new way to upgrade your equipment would add ...

Cleared Zot to 4, got the Abyssal rune, and cleared Tomb. I ended up amnesiaing vbolt, OTR, and Alistair's. I picked up Borg first, but then went for Death's Door instead of Cblink. I got Borg with Zot XP. Then I got Death's Door part way through tomb. I also picked up some more spellcasting for slo...

I can't really swap for channeling. Sublimation works but without the necro investment it drains HP pretty fast. If I had access to summon butterflies I would have learned it immediately. Necromutation isn't happening. That's a level 8 spell in necromancy/transmutations, and I have 0 skill in both. ...

Hello! I'm blackcustard. I play on CDO trunk. I've won four times: a four rune (abyss), a three rune, a five rune (abyss, slime), and a six rune (abyss, slime, tomb). (Plus the first two lair branches and vaults). I've cleared the Vestibule once, but I've never been in Pan or the Hells proper. I thi...

I've learned Tukima's once or twice, usually on spell heavy hybrids. It's never done very much for me, and it's a pain to retrieve your weapon, even with apportion. I've never used any of the others. I did once use the wrapwright card to create a teleportion trap in the D27 Zot portal castle vault, ...

Like anti-Chei. I suspect the time for particular runes varies, so it would be hard to get the numbers right. But assuming a wizard came and set it up perfectly ... A god that enforces fast play, with a really sharp cut off. A player panicking and trying to clear Tomb 3 with one star left would be p...

I think you missed this part: "Quinby loses patience and excommunicates you, and you must deal with horrible wrath until you join him on the overworld (via winning or leaving the dungeon) or die." The wrath doesn't time out. Also, I think the idea is that Quinby's abilities don't degrade w...

explore_stop_pickup_ignore += <regex>, <regex>, ... (List option) If explore_stop has greedy_pickup or greedy_pickup_smart set, then picking up any items matching any of the regexes in the list will *not* stop auto-explore. This options has no affect on items which were thrown by the player. From t...

Blueprints: Being forced to pick up a bunch of crap like artifact swords and daggers is stupid. I assume you are trying to create tension here with the blueprints mechanic: between consuming magical items and saving them for blueprints. In that case the materials would have to be valuable. But then...

I sort of like the mechanic behind the grenade. Bounce and then AoE explosion. Nothing else does that. I'm not sure how it will play though. It's not like a lightning bolt where you can shoot through stuff to reach the wall and bounce. Of course, you could let it pass through monsters but then the b...

I see conservation in your inventory. I would wear that most of the time and swap with rMut. You have a staff of cold. Elemental staffs get pretty strong in melee though, so you could consider hybridizing a bit. Probably the enhancer doesn't help you much, fcloud power is just for cloud duration and...

I set the colours, but I also set set hp_warning. It controls when the all capital low-hp warning message shows up on your screen. There are also mp_warning and mp_colour settings if you want. You might also be interested in note_hp_percent, which controls when messages like "HP: 45/135 [Execut...

Okay so I posted feedback in the .11 thread because I'm stupid and didn't realize we moved to .12.

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3744&start=250#p72712

Sorry.

I love this idea. Even if it is pretty niche, that can be okay. Besides, it might not really be that niche anyway; we'll just have to see how it plays. And I think the need for spider form is just fine. If getting Ix early game is too rare and no one ever gets to enjoy the new god, you can make the ...

Commit: http://gitorious.org/crawl/crawl/commit/8046df72c2df426e2389614182654d89c6143408 There was a commit several days ago that essentially hard-coded some of the standard configuration, including the standard menu colours. The standard stuff get's loaded before your RC. Because menu colours work ...

Artefactize the weapon when it's done something cool, like killing a pan lord, helping you recover several runes, or slain 500 monsters. Doesn't have to get any artefact like properties, just give it its own name. The kind of thing your character can stick in a stone for a young adventurer to find a...

Most of the spells sound like they wouldn't really work. The regen stopping effect of sprinkle salt sounds like it might be interesting, but like someone else pointed out, it's basically what poison already does. The edge cases uses on slugs are amusing but probably wouldn't have much impact on stra...
