Thanks Siegurt

Not sure if this is the right place for this but the crawl.develz.org/trunk/ download hasn't been updated in a while. There used to be another place to get it but I lost that link, if anyone has it that would be good. I'm looking to download the windows tiles version.

While playing a DsAe I got nightstalker and was no longer able to stand 3 tiles away from a wall and double zap three tiles. The max range for bounces should not be affected by the visual range reduction.

It might but by that point you chose a god or want one of those two.

The random factor of the faded altar can be fun but I think it would be better if the altar only chose from the list of unspawned altars. You have already decided you don't want to play under those gods and in flavor there would be no reason for another altar to that god so soon (despite rng sometim...

Hmm, I downloaded the client I posted and it works for me. Not sure what to tell you. It's a windows executable... are you on windows?

Sorry, seems to be on my end. normal trunk is doing it too.

It's buggy, for me at least. Most tiles are just white, can't see what's going on.

Thanks, though you typod the setting and I didn't notice when I C-V'd it. I figured it out when I actually read it. Works now, thanks.

I just started a 1.8 game, my fist since 1.3, and the first thing I noticed is the removal of using tab for casting my lvl 1 spell. Was this intentional? I found it to be a pretty nice feature in my other games and would love to see it back.

I've been trying it out, one thing I found is that you can't tab your spell at 0 mp though you can still cast it though z . Make some spell macros! Your casting life becomes much easier.[/quote] I know about macros, this is just an observation about casting your first level spell through tab with t...

sounds fair

I'd rather have my skills at the levels I want them at if I change gods late game and have the boost be an a bonus that's helpful and useful in case of draining.

Currently playing a game with ash and training targets are being met and training stops based on the boosted skill levels instead of the base skill levels. I think it should still use the base skill levels.

OK, guess I play that differently. I rarely use the eat command on chunks just eat them when I rest or autoexplore. I set rations to e and vampires put blood potions on q and the times when I want to eat I can just tap a button twice, if I have a chunk it will be eaten if not then a ration will but ...

Now that rations are the only permafood make them start in inventory slot e for double-tap convenience. Most games will build up enough that players won't run out of them before they find more and have to = them back to e.

Had a thought on this, link Int to chance to spot shafts. Higher Int get a bonus to spot them. Strong but dumb might get shafted more, weak but smart would get less or none.

I almost always shift+move with chei for this reason.

What is the point of this?

While I disagree with the OP, there might be ways to make the brand more interesting/feel less unfair. What if, on each hit, you got a stack of translocational energy. 0-2: blink or damage. 3-4 stacks: blink, tele, -player tele, or medium damage. 5+ stacks: blink, -player tele, high damage, or bani...

This i8s what I do to the whole game, it's why I'm so bad at it. I call it "Old School Gamer" syndrome.

Why make it an exception at all, have it so you can swap an item of any type that has a negative effect on removal to another of the same type without having the negative effect occur.

If you are switching from faith to faith you should keep or regain the piety, as long as you take no action between removing one and replacing it with the other.

Make God active abilities pull from HP pool instead of the MP pool like with Makhleb. This makes them more useful for casters who are out of MP from using their spells and help differentiate God magic from the in game spell magic.

My take on the whole thing is that the riposte concept would work a lot better as an interaction with SH than EV. The long blade could give a nontrivial contribution to SH and riposte on rolls where the SH bonus makes the decisive contribution (however you decide to hack that idea into the hit roll...

The Riposte encourages characters to build EV more, As has been explained thoroughly in this thread, it doesn't really actually incentivize this since the returns are so small. Except it does for the majority of players who don't go in depth analysis on the odds, they just see that when they dodge ...

Shutting off friendly fire is more of a quality-of-life sort of thing. It makes having an ally less annoying, which is preferable regardless of what impact it has on character power. Perpetual irritation should not be the sort of penalty applied to compensate for a particular upgrade's strength. Th...

You should still be able to fire at an enemy when the ancestor is in the way like with demonic guardian.

Swastika is pretty different from that. It turns the opposite way, has equal width after the arms turn instead of thinning. Also the Nazi version, which is the reason you post I assume, is also resting on a point not flat. Beyond all that the symbol itself is found in a large number of religions in ...

Wouldn't allowing shields to be the only armor that can be swapped quickly make the whole skill better? Then you can swap tactically between shield and 1-hand, and 2 hand weapon or launcher, or casting without the shield defense.

See title. While berserk you can use 'G'o commands normally but not 'o'. When you have Ragitis or at will berserk and enough food you can often berserk every fight so every fight you have to either wander until berserk wears off then hit o, or hit 5 then o. Tedious. I know it would be optimal to wai...

Currently if you have detect items and have detected an item and hit o, you can walk away from it to explore new black in the opposite direction. I'd like it to always try to see what the item is before exploring in a random direction.

Mahout is the term for an elephant handler/rider. Orc Mahout would work fine I think.

Isn't luck supposed to be a halfling trait? Can that be worked in to them somehow, maybe better acquire rolls?

In the shop interface have a number owned show at the end of an item's line to let you know how many are in your inventory.

? a - 22 gold a scroll of identify (3 owned)
? b - 38 gold a scroll of magic mapping (unknown)
? c - 38 gold a scroll of amnesia (0 owned)

I do seem to remember the earliest version I played (Linley's) had a necklace that would choke you to death when equipped. Unless you don't count that since this is just a branch of that.

The game logs where you pickup items already but once you ID a randart the original description it had is gone. I'd like the line that says where it was to include the original description of the randart so one can still get a picture of what it looks like. Something like This ancient atefact cannot...

The new scarf neck slot slot should be accessible for them, since it's a lot like an amulet but cloaks would still be blocked since they would drag along the ground.

Felids could wear them too I suppose.

Good point on the fat fingers, point ceded. +1 for menu jump idea too.

My proposal: 1. Merge 'P' and 'E'quip. 2. Merge 'R' and 'T'ake off as well. 3. Remove 'q'uaff, 'r'ead, 'e'at, e'V'oke, 'M'emorise completely and merge all of them to 'u'se. All of these mechanics are some dumb heritages from Nethack, so eradicate them completely plz Actually they aren't dumb, they ...

The lightning rod is now an elemental evoker like the fan of gales, so having 2 doesn't help more than one.

I'm trying out the new version and it's nice, less fiddling with the weapons. I do feel that you should be able to project your weapon and call for a heavenly blade at the same time though. I understand you don't want people to project multiple weapons so you can't project a weapon then wield one fr...

Ogre Mage

I'm playing a game with a DrMo right now and twice so far I've had monsters act after I use Recall Weapon. It is supposed to be instant now so I figure there's a bug in there somewhere.

Thanks for the suggestion. I submitted one, hopefully I did it right as it's the first time I've done it.

A similar thread from earlier brought this up and had a patch written to check dodge before shields, though I don't know if it was ever implemented.

One thing that needs to happen for this god is that items from your inventory have to always go back to your inventory and retain their inventory slots when they do. I somehow lost a pain weapon on one run, ctrl-f couldn't even find it, and whenever you move around in combat there's a chance your (a...

I was playing a few games as an AE last night online and found a big difference between the around corner double bounce between the online and offline. Hopefully I can describe it clearly enough. When you exit a one space wide corridor diagonally you can shoot a zap into the opposite wall of the cor...

Yes it's very fun. :D I'd say it's pretty strong too. You can have strong battlefield control with pole vault combined with lunge. So far (in Lair 2) I have max piety but haven't had much use for the steel dragonfly yet, though the one time I tried to use it I only had 5 mp. I can see it becoming us...

When DS is generated as monstrous make the claws show before any other aux attack mutation. This is to prevent people from training a weapon too much instead of UC. If they see an aux attack they assume they won't get claws most of the time and put a lot of XP into a weapon they won't use.
