what would the point of that be? what playstyle does 'triggering riposte on shield blocks' encourage? Why is different from € 'equip "light armor" prefer ev and dodging?' playstile? light vs heavy armour is a choice that depends on your stats (str/int/dex), how much spellcasting you want ...

all the cases you mentioned should now give penance, both with normal attacks and with ripostes.

hm

e2: ok maybe fixed properly now.

actually none of the good gods seem to care about attacking or riposting with evil weapons. what weapon did you use to make tso mad?

you're already warned when equipping those weapons, right?

e: looks like the lack of penance for ely/zin with evil weapons is the same for riposte as it is for directly attacking; you get warned about potential penance but there isn't any. definitely a bug there; i guess they should care?

Is there something wrong going on here? Why so few ripostes? That's a whole lot of misses and 2 ripostes against 3 hydras. Edit: I conjuecture that there's an issue with how riposte treats multiple attacks. Both my ripostes were on the hydra's first attack of the turn. Edit2: I made a counting erro...

New weapon inscription "!h" will give a prompt "Really attack hydra?" when trying to hit hydra with inscribed weapon. For axes it should check all adjacent monsters and trigger the prompt if at least one of them is hydra. It is already annoying to swap weapon in Lair and especia...

There used to be a difference in weapon noise (Although the code was nonfunctional for a very long time), also spikey M&F weapons used to do both blunt and peircing damage (even odds of both) also i think that different damage types cause (caused?) different amounts of blood to spray, which is ...

destroying summons is intended, destroying items probably isn't.

That's my secret... I'm always feeling spicy.

(But actually I just did the basic version of your suggestion.)

deep dwarves become incapable of zapping wands without +mp gear?

the only problem i see in your post is the pakellas interaction; everything else seems like it's either working fine (why would we not want an mp mut to interact with other mp-consuming effects?) or the dd thing.

it's pretty funny in zigs/print, where there's rooms full of panlords (which the game can't really render well at all)

also, minmay, stop thanking people who make posts about tiles! you are not allowed to have tiles opinions

it seems like you could make it not an autoexplore trap in other ways; e.g. adding a patrolling or stationary monster in the middle, maybe?

Speaking of autoexplore trap vaults, there's a vault in Lair that has a bunch of shallow water that curves around; after you round the corner there are 3! electric eels (and behind that, more monsters). I didn't get killed by it, but I took a ton of damage despite being heavily armored; I'm pretty ...

bastard sword?

sar was making a joke, I believe. in reality, that part of the proposal will not be popular at all. I'm not really sure why you'd need to remove immolation, though? It doesn't seem like there's overwhelming overlap between the scroll & the card effect, especially given that decks no longer rando...

yeah, both Disjunction and Dispersal are still around, and I will probably never be able to remember which one is which.

spellbooks aren't currently ID'd when you're standing on them either, afaik? it'd be nice if they both were but it'd require some poking at code

that seems like an option that would be useful to a group consisting of one person (you)

if you're playing offline anyway, why not just patch it yourself?

isn't Gravitation just Gell's Gravitas?

that is insanely soulless, wow the great hero FoCj has conquered the dungeon and retrieved the Orb of Zot. huzzah i mean i get where you're coming from but going from there to "random names are bad for offline play" seems like it really misunderstands what counts as "fun" for mos...

arrhy and arch should stop having basically the same av, imo. their name situation is bad enough

fun trivia: as of about a year ago, you don't actually have to choose a name

the op clearly states "Moderators, admins, and developers, please click "back" now." wheals is NOT allowed to post here, and frankly, i'm disappointed in him for flagrantly breaking the rules like this.

imo this thread could have had a more polite tone like, it's possible to express the problems with assigning letters to carried items without talking about everything in an almost hysterical tone ('ui nightmare', 'for the sake of my sanity', etc). i feel like that's sort of tavern culture, and i'm n...

hm, it seems i have found myself in the Salt Dimension, instead

a targeting highlighter seems perfectly reasonable, though ofc it could be wrong, since you're not allowed to see things at the bottom of stacks. could make it only affect seen corpses, but then it'd be weird when you kill an orc, can't corpse rot, but then walk over and discover a corpse lying unde...

A boulder beetle is rolling towards 5 goblins. There are three levers, one of which will divert the boulder beetle's course so that it only hits 1 hobgoblin. The other two levers are fake and have no effect. You may pull only one lever. After choosing your lever, one of the other levers is revealed...

the malevolence engine inputs every possible input string up to some length 'n' (n varies by level) and runs your machine through it. if you give the wrong output or take too long to give an output for any of those strings, it'll fail you and display the string for which you failed. caveat: it's bee...

i dreamed last night that there was a second orc-exclusive god. its name looked like it started with 'b', but it was actually one of those things like tso ('1') and it was under the cyrillic letter з instead. i was very annoyed at grunt for adding this god, because it meant we had no longer had any ...

would be nice, if i'm understanding correctly? but would involve interacting with the delay code, which is not good code.

patches welcome!

update: i tried to pull ca's shield-swap code into trunk, and not only was it broken, the action of putting a shield on in ca caused the game to crash

so i guess that's that for now. sorry, all

Only a 17% chance of getting one, though. (0.8% chance of getting two!)

what's a girly leg lift thing

torpor snails were actually tried in depths; they turned out to be way too fragile to be effective that late in the game. Maybe by the time depths comes around there should be more monsters faster than the player. If deep trolls were speed 12 that would change dynamics a bit for example. there is a ...

presumably because their 'random wandering' ai pathed them into or through that fire, and they decided that they had enough HP to take the damage and live. same as when they're moving toward you, really.

If anyone wants to try out '0.5 aut shield swapping', the circus animals fork implemented it on wednesday. Probably in response to this thread!

this forum is too serious for its own good tbh
