Mantis is for bug report and submitting patches, not feature request. Anyway, there have been other complains about the searing ray interface. Resting to keep casting it is unintuitive and being unable to reaim it is also not very good. That's why I suggested in an earlier thread that after casting...

Then you drop something. What if you're flying over lava? The POINT is that, instead of coming up with increasingly contrived ways of canceling Searing Ray, there should just be a Stop Casting ability. Cue someone else coming to chime in "Why not just wield or eat something?" because they...

Hello friend, If you happen to find a bug, please report it at the following website: https://crawl.develz.org/mantis/main_page.php You will then want to click the "Report Issue" link near the top of this page. Then you will fill out the form with as much detail on the bug as you can. You...

As for your quoted description of one of the incredibly rare scenarios of a case where this would be slightly cleaner than having to take a useless action, it assumes a lot: * The player is cornered, but does not wish to take actions to become uncornered. * The player has somehow lost or discarded ...

Haha agreed. I dont think anyone can say the character didnt deserve to die, however there does appear to be a legitimate "bug" here. I just think that the right thing to do would be to say "ok darkfeline, we see what youre trying to say here and you have a point, its a bug. unfortun...

Because I don't have a local build so I don't have wizard mode. How about not being a cunt about it? Ah, sorry, that is a valid reason I suppose. But calm down, seriously. Calling someone a cunt because they asked why you didn't test that what you suggested doesn't actually work is going overboard,...

Why not take half a minute to try it out before posting? I went to wizard mode just now to test it, no dice. Also doesn't work if you have a praying religion or you're on an altar, etc.

As it stands, there is no way to stop casting Searing Ray and wait in place. (See https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10111&p=139645) While that's not a common scenario, it is something that you would potentially want to do. I propose an instant cast ability called Stop Casti...

Or, you know, go to GDD and post a straightforward thread suggesting an (a)bility that (s)tops the searing ray. Yes, I think I'll do that. I thought there WAS a way to do that and I was just stupid, but it's apparent from this thread that there is in fact no way to stop ray without doing something....

Try to auto-explore. The fact that enemies are present will stop you from moving. So it should be an action that doesn't cost any time. That doesn't break Ray though. You have to actually *do* something. Instead of cursed jewelry, how about having rings of strength that would burden you if you took...

Why? When a enemy is in Los and you can actually do something do nothing is usually worse - even retreating to an explored area is usually a much better choice Waiting for the perfect prism/cloud setup? You're backed into a dead end, you have just enough MP left for a freezing cloud, cursed big wea...

I haven't tried it just yet, but how about trying to cast a spell or use an ability that you don't have? Or, with that cursed weapon, read a scroll of RC. Since you're in the middle of combat, cast another spell. Blink, IMB, etc. Or simply shout. Shouting makes noise. I just want to wait a turn whi...

Then wield it again afterwards. It adds up to the same amount of time as if you skipped the turn. Or, since you're in the middle of combat, just attack with the darned thing! What if you're wielding a cursed weapon? What if your attack delay for that weapon is too high? Sorry if I'm OCD, but this k...

Unwield or wield an item. Drop an item. Throw an item. Pick up an item. Attack an empty square (press * then the direction). There are a lot of options. What if I'm in the middle of combat and don't want to unwield my weapon? No items I don't need at the moment. Nothing to pick up. Surrounded? I'm ...

The ray stops if you do anything other than 'wait a turn',. Including moving, casting magic dart, dropping your +1000+1000 handaxe of dpeg, etc. Once you stop it as such, it starts over at standard power if you choose to re-cast it again. Yes, that's great, but what if I want to stop without doing ...

I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I have but one simple thing to ask: how do you stop searing ray? If I wanted to wait one turn while casting it, can I do so without spending the extra point or two of MP?

Running crawl in terminal, there are only 8 colors availabe. Specifically, blue is the same as lightblue, magenta is the same as magenta, black is the same as darkgrey, white is the same as lightgrey, and so on. (This makes a lot of things invisible, especially the black=darkgrey.) I am running the ...
