The amount of XP required for level 27 is almost exactly the same as before, since that was used as the calibration point. Levels below 27 are a little easier to achieve, while levels above 27 are harder as a result. I like the idea of mana cost going up with number of summons. It's more complicated...

Yeah as I tried to explain in the README, with no_exp_cap now, it uses a simpler geometric formula for calculating levels past 13, to make it much more difficult to reach ridiculous levels. With the standard formula, it requires the same amount of exp per level past 13. This meant that with 6m exp y...

Ok I made the summoning changes and deployed them to my web server.

Maybe the no summon cap costs should be spellpower ^2 /2 (rounded up). So level 4 would cost 8. Level 9 would cost 41. Still pretty heavy, but more manageable. I have no problem bumping lightning spire to a higher level too if that's what you guys think would be better. In circus animals it was one ...

Currently the extra numbers options shows amount of damage done to you last round by the last monster, and amount total, in the right side. But it's only working for non-web version at the moment, until I get it showing up properly in the web. As far as mutations go, I had greatly expanded it in the...

I checked the code for hp change for nightmare, and it looked correct. I added a debug option: debug_monster_hp, which will allow you to see exact monster health numbers as they are damaged. This might give us more insight into what's going on.

Morgue folders are now browsable.

Yes I moved the mutations descriptions over even though they don't function yet. It's a bug of course for it to appear without options being set to enable additional mutations, but I have an issue for that and it will be fixed eventually

Yes when it comes to removing caps, the intention is not to necessarily be able to reach the higher power levels or experience levels, but to remove the feeling of wasted effort when you've already maxed something out. The exp level max is 99 for example, where even with multiple_experience_sources ...

It does make sense to have lower score for no_exp_cap. However I probably won't put much work into trying to balance scores between different option sets (since that would be insanely complex and a lot of work, and it would still end up wrong). The only fair way to compare games is using the same sp...

I'll look into making the directory publicly readable. Not sure how to do that with nginx but it's probably not too hard. As far as the score, it's supposed to be exactly the same as normal crawl unless the difficulty level is different, which isn't the case here. So if the score is significantly di...

I believe that this server is in a datacenter in San Francisco. It's a digitalocean droplet. I can increase it's capacity easily enough if I find that it's reaching it's capacity. So far things always seem pretty responsive when I play. Where are you accessing it from?

Concerning the spell system changes I mentioned in the "crazy future ideas" doc: This is the most extreme change I've considered yet. For the moment, it's likely to just be a crazy change that only I will care about and experiment with, and most others would not want to play with that opti...

As far as ranged combat being OP, I have other changed previously implemented in circus animals that attempted to address those, which will eventually find their way in some form into spicy edition. But I'm not just moving things straight over. I'm considering carefully how well it actually worked, ...

Ok high level crashes and morgue file bugs are now fixed.

Thanks for the suggestions and bug reports. That's helpful. Keep in mind that in general I will notice more quickly bugs reported as issues in the github and be able to keep track of them better there. I fixed the ammo auto changing issue, but haven't figured out where the net problem is happening y...

Announcing a new fork: dcss spicy edition! You can try it out here: http://crawl.ufetubus.com Check out the readme and create issues on github: https://github.com/jeremygurr/crawl_spicy The purpose of this fork is to introduce a variety of features in a way that are completely user configurable. In ...

Sweet, it's working now, thanks for the quick responses and fixes. It merged with my changes just fine, no conflicts.

Now I just have to figure out how to get github to not default my pull requests to be against the upstream master instead of defaulting to merging the pull request into my own repo.

Here's the link to the travis build:

https://travis-ci.org/jeremygurr/dcss_s ... /333428259

I made a new fork of crawl, and intend it to very closely follow the main crawl code, with only variations activated by init script options. But I'm having trouble getting the travis build working. I get this error message: Failed to run 'sudo apt-get install gdb liblua5.1-0-dev liblua5.1-0-dbg' Has...

I added the argument to allow bypassing some prompt-recognition code. Of course it didn't accomplish my purpose so it is pointless. Surely there's a simple way to do this?

It's not hard if you want to remove the "undead" quality of all species. Just look for: bool species_is_undead(species_type species) { return species_undead_type(species) != US_ALIVE; } inside of species.cc change it to something like this: bool species_is_undead(species_type species) { re...

I think you'll need to do a case-insensitive search through the code for the exact god name you want to change. You don't need to change any variables, only parts of strings. For example: { 1, "Sif Muna is helping you to conserve magic.", "Sif Muna is no longer helping you to conserve...

I'm trying to output a message when autotravel begins, because sometimes it is slow and the player doesn't always know something is happening. The message displays just fine, but it doesn't show up until the auto-travel is over, which defeats the purpose of course. I've tried about a dozen different...

The circus animals fork has unlimited unbranded ammo and limited branded ammo, making a pure ranged character viable. Ranged attacks have been nerfed in other ways to balance things of course. For example, distance adds an accuracy penalty, which is fairly significant at max distance (basically cutt...

I know this probably wasn't even a serious suggestion, but it's quite playable and can be a lot of fun. There is more to learn, just like any new gameplay mechanic, but once you learn the basics it's not as tedious as it sounds, as long as you have a good implementation that does most of the work fo...

We have a full featured stamina system in the circus animals fork. I have a lot of fun with it myself, but it's definitely still a work in progress requiring a lot of tweaking. It adds considerable depth to the game though, with a feeble spellcaster no longer able to just pick up an executioner's ax...

What controls how likely a shop is to appear on a floor? I have a situation where far too many shops seem to be appearing, even though I don't think I changed anything to do with shops. Is it controlled by numbers in the des files, or by the c++ code?

This is a question for those very familiar with the crawl code base: I want to make a change that allows players to destroy altars, giving the player a boost of experience, but invoking wrath on the player at the same time. It could be done with a new command, but probably would be easier to just us...

Is the XP penalty for sure there in trunk? I've looked a few times and can't seem to find it. If I'm following the logic right, xp is awarded the same whether it's done by a "pet" or by the player. Am I missing something?

In the circus animals fork this is a major motivator for changes. There are already many changes in place that make early game easier, and late game harder.

This is implemented in the circus animals fork. You can summon any number of creatures, but there is a steady drain to your magic until your magic can no longer sustain them, then *poof*. More powerful summons of course consume more magic. I've played many games with this mechanic. It's way more fun...

On the circus animals fork, the halfling has the same wild magic 1,2,3 mutations. It's quite an interesting way to play.

I like this idea. With a bit of work I think it could add some interesting variety to the game.

I also prefer to play a game that has a lot of depth in how much I can learn, but I'd rather the game be designed well enough to not require a wiki to learn it. Although this may sound completely stupid (and I do feel a little sheepish saying this), I only recently learned that trees *could* be set ...

Fixed. D now works as before. If you want to drop a consumable, you can use control-D or use the 'I' inventory.

I've spent hundreds of hours playing crawl, and dozens of hours playing this fork with the inventory change. It is **so** much more fun and less tedious with the new inventory system that I don't want to ever use the old again. Yes, I lose some of the choice of which items to carry around, but gain ...

Thank you. Just what I needed.

In the config.py file we have these lines: morgue_path = "./rcs/%n", morgue_url = None, What do I need to put in morgue_url so that players can see their morgue files? I tried a few different things and haven't gotten it to work. On disk the morgue files are in ./rcs/{username}/morgue-... ...

Yeah that's what I've done in the past, but it's still fun to have a tile if someone else makes it

Someone with some actual artistic skill, unlike mysef.

I like the idea of cutting back the altar options, forcing you to choose from the altars you find. I'm not even sure it is necessary to guarantee that all dieties exist in a given game. Maybe random altar vaults can be generated through dungeon, and anything that wasn't generated in the dungeon will...

I'm open to building a nightstalker species on the dcss:ca fork. One of the major purposes of this fork is to experiment with new / alternative species. If someone is willing to put together the graphics part (I think we just need a tile?), I can do the rest easily enough.

Oops, when it was first up registering new users wasn't working properly. It is fixed now.

For those who want to try the DCSS: Circus Animals fork: In addition to the CPO server in Australia, there is now a server in the US you can try it on:

[url]crawl.homedns.org[/url]

I set up an experimental web tiles version that DCSS:CA can be tried on, for those too far from CPO for it to perform well. Of course, if it gets too popular, this one won't perform well either. But it's worth a try.

http://crawl.homedns.org

There the DCSS:CA edition: https://github.com/jeremygurr/dcssca It's totally caught up with the latest DCSS trunk changes, in addition to having and maintaining a number of significant variations of its own. It has a number of fun features such as summons that last as long as you have magic points l...

What's wrong with carrying around permafood vs. leaving it on the floor and coming back later to get it? Does it make some branches too easy?

I tweaked the inventory expansion a little further, removing the only extra keystroke. I split the drop command into 'd' for drop inventory, and 'D' for drop consumable, corresponding with the 'i' command for view inventory, and 'I' for view consumable. Now I can carry a maximum of 104 items, with n...

Clearly a feature, not a bug. XD That, or please give us that species that a couple of us have talked about that has mediocre stats and Evolve 2.... I love the mutation potions also, and the vast majority of the cases I play with them I end with some significant positives with only a few usually mi...

I have a pretty sweet summoning change done in my DCSS-CA fork. There is no cap on how many you can summon. Summoned creatures slowly drain mana, and when there isn't enough, they disappear. Initial cost of any summon is 1 MP, but their MP drain over time is based on the creature's HD and how many ...
