I'm with you on this one. I never understood what was up with that.

As we all know, the slimes don't attack if you worship jyvia. My idea: do something similar based on player race. If the player is undead, undead won't attack. (Unless you attack first). Same with deep elves and merfolk. It would add a bit of consistency to the game.
Opinions?

I consider incest to be par for the course. I am relieved that I am not your sister, in that case. Greeks were not that concerned with gender. I'd be relieved you're not his sibling. Or parent.

* "My father was a great axe, and my mother was a scythe." Is this one referencing Robert Heinlein's "Friday"? Very cute. It should switch "mother" and "father" to match, and perhaps remove the "and" (it's in the book both ways, IIRC). * "My mo...

I like animate skeleton - my current character has 10 runes, cleared a Zig, tomb, and holy pan, but is still using that spell heavily.

It's not wizard starting spells, its the fact you eventually have a bunch of spell levels sitting around not having anything memorized. If you have spell levels "gathering dust" then probably you're training Spellcasting too high rather than focusing on skills that are more useful to you ...

I'd like to suggest an extreme situation: imagine that you start a wizard, which does not choose a spell-gifting god. Throughout the entire game, it is very unlucky with book generation and does not find a single spellbook to complement its starting book. Would this game be: unwinnable, unfun, or f...

The thing is, spells are completely different to melee weapons. What I don't see is: what problem are you actually trying to fix? If you're not happy with the Wizard starting spells then you already have a choice: pick a different background. It's not wizard starting spells, its the fact you eventu...

Likewise, the book of orcish magic would be barely any better than your default spellbook. You'd get invisibility and magic dart. That's it. If this is "barely any better than your default spellbook" then what's the point, why would you even want this? (Also you seem to be forgetting Hast...

Furthermore, every other orc seems to drop a runed flail or whatever You realise the vast majority of those runed flails are barely any better (and some even worse) than a standard 0,0 unruned flail?

No, they don't. Vehumet only gives one spell at any one point, Kiku gives two spellbooks, most of which contain spells any decent necromancer will already have (and also one optional one), and Muna demands you get to max peity if you want gifts. How many pre-Lair spells are you hoping to get your h...

What if the Crypt has different rules: all undead, even standard zombies/skeletons, can break the rules, including some but not all of the following: * Undead can submerge in the ground. * Undead move faster. * Undead can move through walls. * Undead intelligence is increased. * Undead can't be des...

One problem wizards seem to have is not having enough spellbooks. This is one problem I can honestly say I have never, ever had. Admittedly there aren't many spell books before Lair(which is why casters start out with a spellbook with enough power to at least get them there), but there aren't many ...

christ why did i use the word 'caster' on that wiki page I'd consider making it every 3 levels instead of 4, just because 27. Also, depending on the character and how strong the weighting towards useful skills is, this could actually end up being a disadvantage, since getting more experience makes ...

What about: Instead of memories manifesting by adding XP to random skills, you instead got better aptitudes for those skills. This could either be a small permanent increase in aptitude, which would work in a similar way to draconians getting altered aptitudes on reaching level 7: Existing skill le...

One problem wizards seem to have is not having enough spellbooks. They're rare drops, and I typicality end up with around 10 spell levels sitting around gathering dust. To this end, I propose monsters that can cast spells drop their spellbooks. Said spell books would contain all the spells the monst...

Mummies are immortal lich kings with lifespans measured in eons who come to exploit the Orb of Zot for their own purposes. Memories and skills may be lost to the sands of time, but they still live on somewhere. Now, they can be regained. In less poetic terms, you get a bonus to a random skill every ...

Yeah, this is based off the sage code.
Either way, it defaults to spellcasting now.

And thank you to you too! I've got it working now.

Thank you.

I've never even gotten to lair. Furthest I ever got was a orc priest who started a civil war in the orc mines and was doing great before he went down a stairwell and discovered an army of ogres on the other end. My mummies are lucky if they get to the temple.

It happens every time I reach the level specifified in mummyspacing. Furthermore, when mummyspacing is set to 0, there is no crash. That's all I know.

This is the only changed file. It's in player.cc
There's also a declaration for journal and spacing at the start that sets them to 1 and 3 respectively.

That didn't work. I think it might be a problem with my code. case SP_MUMMY: if (you.experience_level == 13 || you.experience_level == 26) { mpr("You feel more in touch with the powers of death.", MSGCH_INTRINSIC_GAIN); } if (you.experience_level == mummyspacing*journal){ if (journal == 1)...

My modded game crashes to desktop for unknown reasons.
Is there some way to get an error log?

So, I recently tried to compile my newly edited version of DCSS.
I got this message:

Code:: beam.o: File not recognized: File truncated collect2: id returned 1 exit status

Do I need to get new versions of the files? If so, where?

Horray! Now I have a different bug! This is progress!
Defined c as being 10. Now I get this:

Code:: player.cc: in function 'void level_change(bool)

Then it just does the same looping thing as before.

Derp. That's what I get for being lazy and copying and pasting code.

If you're capable of posting the code, you're capable of posting the exact compiler error instead of, "the function's looping or something." Sorry. I'll do that now: player.cc: In function 'void mummyskills()': player.cc:102: error: 'c' was not declared in this scope player.cc:3253: Error...

Kay. I've been trying to make it so mummies get new skills every four levels or so. It doesn't work, and the compiler says that the function's looping or something. Any chance of help? Here's the first part of the code: case SP_MUMMY: if (you.experience_level == 13 || you.experience_level == 26) { m...

Ignore the thing about the exe not working, I've figured it out.
Thanks for the help.

Are you using msysgit? Did you cd into the crawl folder before running git submodule update? Yes, and no. I'll try that. EDIT I've got an application now, but it doesn't do anything. EDIT EDIT Nevermind, just took a while to start up. Thanks! EDIT EDIT EDIT No, wait, what happened was that I opened...

The second one implies mummies can make it to the temple without dying.

No. I'll try that right now.
EDIT!!!
Nothing happened when I typed in the command, and it still gives me the same error.

How does one cheese summoning? Just spam the call imp spell, or is there something special?

Sorry, I'm a bit new.
I found a bunch of patches for the game that look neat, but I can't figure out how to actually install them.
Please help.

Windows 7

The ones packaged with the source code as a text file names install
No, but I don't know how to get it.

I like mummies. They're ancient lich kings who've come to harness the Orb of Zot for their own nefarious purposes.
The only problem is that they kind of blow.
Does anyone know how to make a mummy build that doesn't die three levels in?

I tried compiling crawl according to the instructions, but it says the makefile for pcre is missing or something like that. What should I do?
