Doesn't the Demonspawn powered by death mutation give numbers next to the regen Status indicator (Maybe it's another mutation, I can't remember), like this? Regen 1 Regen 2 etc? Or maybe it was Regen (1) and so forth. It's counting deaths, so you know how regenerative you are at the moment, but some...

Oops, sorry, Twilight13 was me. I thought I typed in my normal login, but something got messed up?

I think the issue here is similar to the issue with contamination, that is, that the status light indicator basically conveys the information so vaguely it's difficult to differentiate when it's actually going to be an issue or not, outside of having a player pull up their skill screen every time a...

OK, did a little testing in Wizard mode, setting up a Deep Dwarf Fighter of level 12, with the same skill levels I listed above, then spawning in Sonja with a dagger of draining and letting her hit me until all my skills hit 0. Didn't take very long; I counted the number of times drained (45, I thin...

I think part of the problem here is that in order to be as drained as you were it requires an extraordinary effort of will and a near fatalistic determination. To take that much draining damage without dieing means you were tough enough to survive, poorly trained/ equipped enough not to prevail in ...

For a while, being drained past a certain point did bonus damage instead of draining you further, making it likely to actually kill you directly. I'm not sure it was a good idea to remove that feature, tho I'd prefer if it drained you and also started dealing extra damage based on how drained you a...

The question isn't what the OP should or could have done to avoid heavy draining, or how rare this level of draining is. The issue is this: if extremely heavy draining (i.e. all skills to zero, like the OP) is basically just a protracted death sentence, that's unfun and should be changed. This is m...

Just lost a moderately promising Deep Dwarf Fighter of Elyvilon due to heavy draining. Short version is I was level 12, ran into Sonja who had a dagger of draining on Lair:3, and since she moves so fast, was getting hit and drained lots of times. I killed her off without taking a lot of damage (Thou...

I wanted to open up a discussion on skills being worth raising all the way through level 27. Some skills arguably are almost always worth continuing to increase, whether they're at level 5, or 25, such as Fighting. There are others, which are worthwhile, but see diminishing returns as they get near ...

Possibly a silly question, but have you removed the # character at the beginning of the tiles setting line you're changing, such as the fullscreen setting?

The # character makes the whole line a comment, and thus ignored, so no changes will take effect until you remove that #.

Ah, yes, I forgot I it had been remapped in the latest trunk version. I have tab mapped to auto-explore, personally.

Can i make a macro for killing bats. Yes. You need to macro a key to autofight, which will take a step towards the nearest hostile creature every time you press it, or attack the creature if it's already adjacent. Turns fighting bats into a 3 second "tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-GOT 'IM!&qu...

Does anyone else just map spellcasting to macros? I have my first four spells (a-d) set to F1-F4. Those also have a period at the end for selecting the target, so casting magic missile, or throw flame, etc, is simply a matter of pressing F1 to automatically target and cast the spell at the nearest t...

It's not even about Ogres potentially being contrary to expectations based on other mythologies, etc. The problem is that Ogres are contrary to the internal expectations of Crawl. When you play Crawl, Ogres are one of the very first monsters you can encounter that is extremely dangerous, often able ...

Why do so many people think centaurs suck? They're perfectly good casters and fighters, excellent archers, and get very good speed and HP. I haven't really played many centaurs, but are you sure about them being good fighters and casters? Just from looking at the aptitudes: Arm: -3 Ddg: -3 Shd: -3 ...

I'm annoyed that it's often a good idea to berserk and then flee to the nearest staircase. It'd be fun if all monsters turned into sirens when you berserked. Flavour-wise, this is truly a brilliant idea! Would probably need some balancing, though. This could definitely really change how berserking ...

You know, what drives me nutters are potions of decay (that's the one that causes rotting, right?) I had a early character with unID'd potions, got in trouble, gambled on finding a potion of healing, and got rot instead. I survived the fight because I then got might or something, but I rotted down ...

Sorry, can someone post a link or explanation of troves? I'm not sure what's being talked about. A treasure trove. It's a portal that doesn't time out, but when you try to enter, it asks for items (At least in trunk. 0.7 might ask for money) before you can enter. The items are, at least in theory, ...

Is that actually true? If so, that seems like an oversight that should be corrected.

I just checked the source. It's true.

But is it an oversight? Or is that intentional?

I've almost always played rogue-likes with ASCII (Since most didn't have anything else), but definitely prefer the DCSS tiles. Other than looking nice, they also convey information at a glance that you wouldn't be able to see without cumbersome manual checking in ASCII (Like monster health, etc). Ho...

A relatively simple story. My intrepid Mountain Dwarf Fighter of Yredelemnul had been able to handle just about everything the dungeon had thrown at him, when he encountered a Labyrinth entrance. Plenty of food on hand, he entered. Multiple thousands of turns later, he still couldn't find the exit, ...
