We should still prompt the player if they may cleave-hit an ally. Some other devs want to revert the commit. :roll:

Hi there, I just landed a patch to support domino tiles (aka Wang Tiles). The idea follows from the game of dominoes: each tile edge has a label and labels must match between adjacent tiles. Why, as a tile artist, should you care? It frees you from the monotony of forcing every edge to match. Curren...

It was March 31st when I pushed it. It's real. Jesters aside, we don't do functional jokes on April 1st.

Let me be absolutely clear: It cures rot and that comes off your healing budget. If you're at 10 / 90 (100) and HW for 20, you'll end up at 20 / 100 instead of 30 / 90 (100). It might kill you.

Heal wounds and curing are now applied to rot damage first before restoring HP.

Done.

Thanks everyone for the deaths. We are a foolish bunch.

Some time ago dpeg and I put together a collection of stupid and amusing deaths. If we missed any truly awesome YASD's, please clue us in. Here's a sampling of what we have now: ⋅ Falling into lava, after self-confusion, after a prompt. ⋅ Self-zapping due to atrocious aiming. &sd...

Until it was patched, telling summons to move to the map border would cause a crash. Crashing crawl rewinds time to the last save/level change. The presence of one sentient ally was sufficient for god mode.

Someone over at Blizzard is a Dungeon Crawl fan. They're adding the Last Deck of Nemelex Xobeh to World of Warcraft.

Just wanted to sticky this for a few days as an example of a good GDD post.

The winds around you start to calm down.
You are engulfed in roaring flames. You resist. Cerebov falls into the lava!
Cerebov drowns.

I think it would be boring.

I'm not wild about the skill menu, but the implementation is functional.

##dev is generally in favor. I'm going to begin developing on a branch.

I used parentheses because (i used variable names like this). Instead I could have used variable_names_like_this or variableNamesLikeThis. Multiplication binds more tightly than addition.

How is this system different? Are you adjusting for aptitudes?

By using raw experience costs rather than level for determining the cross-training bonus.

duvessa wrote:and strongly recommend removing anti-training.

I don't care one way or another. Anti-training never seemed to have much of an impact. Who on earth would memorize shatter and tornado?

Cross-training is complex. The order in which you train impacts the total cost to raise your skills. It's cheaper for a Kobold to train Short Blades (+3) followed by Long Blades (-2) than the reverse. There are a few more examples of this. We could tweak attributes, but I prefer a consistent solutio...

I appreciate the suggestion, but there's been a push toward simplifying (haha) the game. While cool, adding another mundane hide/armour won't significantly improve the game. Instead it'll just encourage players who want Salamander armour to lure them out of their lava ponds before killing them.

Wasn't there a suggestion to give nets a small chance of complete destruction on use rather than a slow progression of tears? Yes, and bh said he supported it IIRC. I even implemented it. Kilobyte had a counter-proposal for implementation (completely removing floor items), so I never committed my p...

(This is mainly a question for grunt and dpeg)

For Chei wrath, I was thinking of also keeping the player slow. Too onerous?

Potion of Impetus for Removing Boring +Stat Mutations

I still think sticky flame should prevent scroll reading for its duration, instead of destroying them. I wrote a branch that did something like this. Fire effects gave the Scroll- status and ice gave Potion-. If you tried using the items, it carried a 50% chance of destruction. I don't recall anyon...

Klown wrote:Is removing hunger clocks & food in general and fixing anything effected in others ways(piety instead of fruit for Fedhas, etc.) too far out there?

Too much of crawl is balanced around food. Foodlessnesss can work in a Roguelike, but it would require a top-to-bottom redesign of crawl.

You can flee Hells and return later. You also get to pick which Hell you're attempting.

⋅ Cap satiation level, a la ghouls. ⋅ Decrease nutrition provided by food. ⋅ {Hunger-} simply doesn't work when under the effect of {Hunger}. Not a very elegant solution, I admit. These changes just encourage eating chunks. If there's a removal cost, I'd like to oblige...

Disclaimer: I am not an extended player. I have spectated a lot of extended play. Infinite areas are problematic and players seem to do Pan for two reasons: they're trying to collect runes, they're scumming for Zigs. For players engaged in either of these activities, the rest of Pan appears to be a...

If portal vaults are going to be timed in the first place, then players should miss them sometimes! If someone cares about this, they could scrape morgues for the time that a player entered a level and the time at which the player entered the portal. This would shed some light on how long portal ti...

The {Hunger} property is tedious. It encourages jewelry micromanagement. Some time ago we changed {Vamp} to impose a cost-on-wield to combat exactly this problem. Some ideas for Hunger include: ⋅ Inflate hunger costs rather than metabolic rate. ⋅ Impose a cost on removal (like {C...

This has been discussed at least a couple of times. For example . I think the swiftness treatment is a good approach: an upside, with a cooldown or downside. Another thing we could do is cause spells to pop rather than timeout. rmsl might absorb a certain number of hits before dissipating. There wou...

Tengu are claustrophobic. If you don't like that, we can give them an innate plumage mutation:

From around turn 21k onward, I was doing my best to splat.

Let's just make them heavier so you don't need to worry about stacking. :evil:

Scroll of curse/remove curse is targeted. You can target an ally or enemy to curse or bless his weapon/armour. I'm confident that this will never be implemented. The possible gameplay upside is far outweighed by the additional complexity. Lately I've noticed a push on the team toward simplifying th...

At the moment, implementing shields of running would require changing the game code -- the running ego is only checked in the boot slot. You can generate other armors with running but they won't actually make you faster when worn. Much as I despise encouraging this behaviour in any way, "fixin...

Done.

Restore abilities now does triple duty.

You start at level 27 with all skills highly trained, but your char lvl and skill lvls decay rapidly with turn count. Could still have species aptitudes, they just determine how quickly or slowly your skills decay relative to each other. We've discussed species that gain bad mutations as they level...

I initially thought that this idea has no merits whatsoever, but the thread came up with some interesting proposals. (For example psiweapon and nagdon.) Nothing of this is urgent, but starting with rarely placed unrandart potions can do no harm -- I am all for it. Who told them about the Ur-Snozzcu...

I have disabled it by default. If people really want to log messages, they have the option to do so.

Done. Sort of. It isn't merged. One of galehar's patches prevents clouds from placing outside of LOS. His other causes player clouds to dissipate faster when you can't see them.
