Crawl development might be a bit slow right now, but just because nobody bothers to write blog posts does not mean that there is no development: https://github.com/crawl/crawl/commits/master

I don't think the stuff you described contributed to any real 'difficulty'. As you said in your own post: It just made the game more tedious. For example you had to spend the extra turns to take every potentially dangerous weapon upstairs (so that no monster would use it against you). It was only ha...

Or just make it expire automatically when using stairs. This is a great idea actually! It probably should not be done symmetrically though (i.e. negative status effects should not expire when changing floors). Not only would it solve this pre-buffing situation, it also would be a major factor to ta...

This is about Gnolls, isn't it?

Ghosts being completely removed from crawl would be the best thing to happen since the removal of item destruction! If ghosts are absolutely to stay, I would prefer if they were generated only on the basis of the current depth. Meaning the ghost would keep the name of the player who died, but other ...

VeryAngryFelid wrote:Are you serious in your belief that MiFE has higher survival rate on D:1 than DEFE? Really?

Of course MiFE has an easier D:1 than DEFE. You can kill pretty much any common D:1 enemy with your aux attacks by just pressing '.' while standing next to them.

The only use Troglodytes have for books is using them as tinder. Being in Trog's Sanctum would be a librarian's worst nightmare flavor-wise.

Also this should probably moved out of GDD since it is meant as a jab at design choices with (supposedly) poor justifications/explanations?!

I might be wrong (I only briefly looked how the note taking function is being invoked), but it looks like that notes are only taken when you actually identify an item. Unrands are already identified and because of that they are never even considered for note taking.

A lot of runed door vaults make use of the "no_tele_into" flag which prevents teleporting/shafting into the vault. It is all up to the vault creator: If they do not want the player to accidentally land inside of the vault, they will use the tele flag. But I'm pretty sure that this is not t...

VeryAngryFelid wrote:Sorry, I don't see where it is proven. IMHO we need to see failures of characters with 5+ runes, not just after XL 17.

"splatratio" is commonly defined as percentage of character deaths after XL 17. If this is not what you're looking for, you should use a different term.

You can already configure 5 to rest until fully healed (see rest_wait_both and rest_wait_percent). To wait for a specific number of turns you can just use "0N." (N being the number of turns you want to wait). As far as I know the only reason both '.' and 's' are kept around is for legacy r...

No, fear cannot affect monsters who are berserk or insane.

I had the same issue with needlessly waiting a bunch of turns because hammering '5' out of reflex. Some time ago I created a custom rest function in my crawlrc to solve this issue: { function hp_percent() a,b=you.hp() return 100*a/b end function mp_percent() a,b=you.mp() return 100*a/b end function ...

Just switch back to using 8 color mode rather than 256 color mode. This does not result in any visible changes. Also, I'm not sure what "darkgrey is displayed as blue" entails - are you sure it's crawl doing that and not your terminal config? With default options it looks like this . This...

Recently there were some trunk changes regarding the console colors. I don't know how mature the current implementation is, but at the current state I have the following issues: Enemies change color from time to time. This mostly happens in the enemy list (see screenshot), but also on the normal dun...

This does exactly mostly what you want: { skill_list = { "Fighting","Short Blades","Long Blades","Axes","Maces & Flails", "Polearms","Staves","Unarmed Combat","Bows","Crossbows", "Throwing&qu...

At the 700 turn mark you better be prepared for water moccasins and orc priests on D:1. Puny adders should be the least of your concerns

good advice. pls add to wiki.

if someone were to add oklob plants to the game now (instead of having them from previous versions) it wouldn't really sound like a good idea. I wouldn't mind seeing enemy oklob plants gone. You mostly encounter them in some annoying gimmick vault anyway. Removing them completely would be a major n...

I voted no, because I never play online. You're just practicing big time for the ultimate scum attempt!

So if your winrate is less than 2% you're not human and somewhere above that you start being a filthy scummer :)

You play a game. If you win, you play another one, and so on. If at any point you lose, you play another game, until you start winning again. Do it enough, and eventually by random chance you will get a really long streak of wins. Damn, it sounds really easy when you put it like that... I feel enli...

So we are doing crawl confessions now? Here is mine: The combined winrate of all my accounts is 64.89% (and I have a total of 2 offline wins from before I started playing online).

I really want to know how scumming for better streaks works...

You probably want

Code:: char_set = ascii

I still advice getting a SSH client which can handle unicode characters.

If you want a completely different play style, you could get into speed running and finally push Sapher off the throne. On a somewhat related note: Berder has played 388 games, between 2014-07-16 15:23:41 and 2015-01-02 14:22:02, won 41 (10.6%), high score 19903029, total score 184413123, total turn...

Why would anyone want to watch that shitty OpBe?

Aule wrote:Why are the two versions so different with regards to graphical rendering?

This could be related to the switch to SDL2 which happened somewhere in 0.16 trunk. You could build a version from right before the SDL2 branch was merged to find out if this is what causes it.

Sticky from this forum: Do not post bug reports here!

Bug reports should be submitted here: https://crawl.develz.org/mantis/main_page.php

Also the latest stable release is 0.15.2, you should check if the crash persists after the update.

I also did this steal the orb in 100 turns thing. Probably not my smartest decision while streaking :D Here is the replay:

Code:: !lm tedronai mfas br.end=zot 1 -tv:>4:channel=csdc

Still casual

Code:: 774 | D:2 | Noticed a centaur warrior

I just checked out this exact command and I'm not quite sure why WalkerBoh included the "x2.0", which means the replay is at two times its normal speed. I'd suggest you try !lm drke br.end=zot -tv:>5:channel=csdc or even !lm drke br.end=zot -tv:x0.5:>5:channel=csdc If you still have displa...

I've gathered the courage to finally ask: what to do with these thingies? Is it a command for the bots in irc? In IRC you post those commands in ##crawl or pm them to the Sequell bot. Then it will start the replay of this game. You can watch either on http://termcast.develz.org/ or by connecting vi...

I guess it would be really helpful for the developers if you could attach your save file to the bug report.

I think orbs of fire should get full cold resistance and fire storm.
