I finish Orc with only around 900 gold and one of the Orc:2 shops turns out to be a mimic !

I think there's a LUA script to do this but I'd love it as an rc setting. Something like cast_at_max_mp=spell1,spell2,spell3 and whenever you hit full MP it tries to cast each spell until one of them succeeds. That sounds like an EXCELLENT way to immediately miscast yourself to death after learning...

Siegurt wrote:The result was a spell that could either hit a larger area of effect for less damage than firestorm, or hit a smaller area of effect for more damage.

Another way to do this could be some sort of ice beam that would be targeted like the lightning rod, with more damage the less tiles it hits

I was slowed but I had also drunk a potion of haste, which was still active after the slow status expired so that's not it either, and Erolcha wasn't hasted.

I probably had a buckler, not sure. However the 0.8 delay is not the mindelay of the weapon (it was a war axe of speed) but the delay that was printed next to the turncount after I attacked.

I was fighting Erolcha in melee and she casted two spells in the same turn, a crystal spear and a bolt of cold (thankfully both missed), while I was slashing her with my 0.8 turn - delay axe. Now I know that energy randomization makes it impossible to predict when a monster will act precisely, but t...

D:11 centaur warriors and orc knights are normal and definitely don't need a runed door. Those monsters can spawn on D:11 without a vault being involved at all. I don't like deep elf knights appearing outside of Elf though. I assume it was this vault: ###############################################...

This vault was not an autoexplore trap either, but if the monsters had been generated awake or woken up by some noise it would have been possible to have multiple heavily-equipped OOD monsters wandering in the level and I think that's exactly the point of runed doors, to prevent this. Maybe your oth...

I don't know what this vault is called but it is crazy with loot, it appeared on D:11, was NOT behind runed doors (but really probably should be) was filled with centaur warriors, orc warriors, an orc knight and an elf knight (!) but digging a Formicid killhole just outside made it trivial. Now I've...

No, the combo Mephitic Cloud + Conjure Flame clears everything up to and including Lair:6 or Orc:2. Granted you better have something else for the rest of the game but that's what Vehumet is for. About this, my feeling is similar to that of VAF. It can be done, but it it relies on luck -- on factor...

There already is an rcfile option that changes the default % of HP/MP the player must have before autoexploring : explore_auto_rest. If you want to keep both behaviour you can fiddle around with this setting in macros.

That I couldn't do, it was stone. I always seem to forget about the shafting ability though.

Lord Haart wrote:If you expected a down hatch, it couldn't have been lowest level of a branch. And if it weren't, why couldn't you, as a formicid, shaft yourself down?

Huh so in other news I am dumb. Please disregard this thread.

I'm a Formicid and went into a vault that I supposed had treasure but had to fly over deep water to do so. I quaffed my only potion of flight thinking "Oh, these vaults are supposed to have down hatches don't they?" Flight expired and had to rely on emergency flight to finish crossing, but...

Code:: As you read the scroll of identify, it crumbles to dust. _C - a scroll of acquirement

Bought as an unidentified scroll for 25 gold

There's a clua hook in the input handler that you can use to run custom Lua each time a player turn becomes available, function ready() . If that function exists in your rcfile, it will be called once per turn, prior to checking for any manual player input. Rewrite your logic a little bit to use th...

Yup, in my lazy copy-pasting I removed a bunch of extraneous stuff from my local ini, one of them was the attitude enums [oops!] which are necessary for the m:attitude() comparison. (Crawl's ATT_HOSTILE etc. enums aren't available from within its cLua binds so you have to define them yourself...) H...

I have this on my init.txt for offline playing: chunks_autopickup = true auto_butcher = true easy_eat_chunks = true auto_eat_chunks = true I also tried commenting the following lines: chunks_autopickup = true auto_butcher = true #easy_eat_chunks = true #auto_eat_chunks = true But it doesn't work of...

Thanks a lot for your help. I have tried to adapt your code to my use case but I get the following error in function is_threatening(m): attempt to compare nil with number The code I used : ##################################### # enum values :/ : LOS = 7 : if you.race() == "Barachi" then : ...

Hi, I'm playing a mummy caster and channelling is boring . I'd like to modify my rcfile to automatically use my staff of channelling when resting. I feel like this can be done with some lua and I'm willing to do it myself if it doesn't exist, but I don't know how to execute a function whenever I pre...

Code:: the ring of Happiness {rF++ rC++ Int+3 Stlth+}

Yup, makes me happy !

Get like 10 evo and use the consumable ally evocables that have spawned in your game. Sometimes you need to kill a pan lord. You know what's good at doing that? A copy of the pan lord plus 3 chimera beasts plus whatever form of offense you've been training all game. More often, you want to reach th...

Code:: the -6 buckler of the Princeling {+Blink MR+ Str+4 Dex-5}

Man that sucks !

Related: is there a message that notifies a player when a manual has expired? If so, I'd like to create a force_more for it in my rcfile. Whether it is optimal or not, I typically do reshuffle my skill allocation to take advantage of a manual and I'd like to know when this temporary allocation ough...

The fact that Lugonu protects the player against the harmful effects of unwielding a distortion weapon is badly communicated to unspoiled players : it is not written on the ^ "Overview" screen and on the ^ "Powers" screen it is written Lugonu will eventually offer to corrupt a fo...

I won ! It happens rarely enough that I make a post to brag about it ! No big surprises, fought unarmed, never used the few spells I learnt and used a big ass shield and Dragon King armour to be invulnerable. I lost most of my undead buddies in Vaults:5 and the few ones I kept I sacrificed to OOFs i...

For me it does that only when NumLock is on, could that be it?

Shtopit wrote:How about F1 F2 F3? Are they used for anything?

Not a web dev, but I think it would interfere with browser commands in webtiles ( like Ctrl+W)

You should have brought your Spellcasting up to about 20, which would have given you more MP and more oomph to your spellpower. And yes, Airwolf is right - earth damage or strong pure conjurations are good against OOFs. Looks like your were not anywhere near out of MP when you died, though. I thoug...

But maybe right now I feel I am pretty strong and I want weak orcs to get the killing blow to level up.

Ignoring the interface problem, the tactical one is that moving around just to find a eventual body isn't usually a very good move when in LOS there's a monster with berzerk and paralyze. This is not the problem. The problem is : I have killed some monsters, some of them were standing on square X. ...

- Hey you ! Tell me, what can you smell from where you stand ? - Sure thing boss, I can tell you that there's a pile of 3 pebbles on the other side of that door and a tightly sealed glass bottle on the other side of this thick rock wall, in a totally disconnected part of the level ! - Er, alright, ...

Hey so I'm currently chaining Troll Monks of the Wu Jian Council because it's really huge fun to play Shaolin Troll 3000. However, there are very little explanations regarding the martial attacks so I have a few questions I hope you guys'll be able to answer to help me perfect my nintroll : ⋅&n...

Why would Tm be disallowed for mummies, whether they can transmute or not? It's the player's fault if they pick a terrible background for their species. I can see why you can't have Dg pick zealot backgrounds, but this is different. Plus they can still cast Passwall, Sticks to Snakes (which inciden...

My GrEE finds a Vehumet altar on D:1 ??!?!!!!?!!??
I thought it wasn't even possible !

I wonder if we might change some open tiles to road tiles where some monsters would be faster than PC. Similar to swallow water except without water. It might even make some corridors bad for fighting (if roads increased monster attack speed as well as movement speed). There could be a big road fro...

Now how do you like a taste of your own medicine ?????!!??!?!!??

Thanks, I died to elves after trying to do their halls too early, I'll keep it in mind for the next time.

Hi people, So I know this is supposed to be like the easiest combo (apart from maybe MiBe), but I haven't yet won either so that also says a lot about me. Here's a promising little guy, who gets consistent healing from Makhleb, has a great axe for chopping all your hydra heads and can go berserk in ...

Thanks ! So now that I know how to change options when I start a game, is there a way to change options when something happens in-game? For example : make auto_butcher change when I put on an amulet of the gourmand, or change my book autopickup settings when I convert to Trog ?

Space isn't unlimited, you know. I think we can agree that showing gold is not worth getting rid of the HP, MP, or noise bars, The noise bar is fairly recent, and it actualy replaced the previous gold indicator. It was a good change, making noise actually visual, but after a bunch of games with the...

Just testing the waters so that it's too soon to make an assessment. I have a doubt, if I get any species and I set the skills to manual mode and I turn on every skill, wouldn't I be having the same "gnoll experience"? Not quite: with *normal* species, you cannot train most skills if you ...

In 0.20, I've been under the impression that in every other game, I find the book of Misfortune before I even reach Lair. Is the RNG weighted towards this? If so Dith worshippers are probably fine.

Wow ! A bread ration and a plain short sword !! What a great incentive to go into that transporter with an ugly thing and an elf knight on D:7 !

I'll probably stop at 3 runes for this game, so I'll buy the randart spellbook for Dragon Form and hope to find Ozocubu's Armour and Lesser Beckoning. Right now I'll clear the Dungeon and get started on S branches (Swamp then Snake). I'll be training UC, Fighting, defenses and then more Invocations....
