But later on, you get much more XP to spend on skills. So the system tries to balance that so that training low level skills at high level isn't lightning fast. For precise numbers, you can have a look at this page.

I think you shouldn't split temporary and permanent effects. Either show only permanent, or show current. Showing current is probably better and more consistent with the rest of the interface. I've been thinking of changing the colours of numbers depending on status effect, but it's going to get com...

I think they are identical. When dividing numbers, if the result is an integer, it's always rounded down. So 149 / 10 = 14. Unifying them into a single function is indeed a good idea.

Well the very commit you posted scales paralysis enchantment power by 6/5 before the MR check http://crawl-ref.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=crawl-ref/crawl-ref;a=blobdiff;f=crawl-ref/source/beam.cc;h=8f0d30c192345c9230bcccba26515bebd29726ad;hp=c377e2fea8a1a0e0ba8867838c72c8a25a846ce3;hb=fbf...

I also noticed this change and quite liked it. I think the game needs further AI changes - like intelligent monsters shouldn't mindlessly walk in a cloud. I know it's not easy to improve AI, but the game would benefit from these changes a lot. I agree about the walking into clouds. And it shouldn't...

Is it just me, or have missile using monsters gotten cleverer at the "ambush behind a corner" game? As in, instead of running to the place where they saw you last, they try to go to a place where they can still shoot at the square behind the corner without being immediately engaged in mel...

Sounds like fun! I made a Troll Healer, and when I got to the temple so I can convert to TSO, I found a +1 pearl dragon armor! Now I'm paranoid I'll die in some horrible manner. I have a question though, and I don't want to start a new topic just about it - The wiki says you can sacrifice "evi...

Paralysis is harder to resist now. Yes, really. You sure? I don't remember such change. Most recently, an ancient lich took my 220hp character by casting paralyze, then summon demon hordes, then paralyze a few dozen times. Were you slowed? We try to prevent chain paralysis but it's not perfect.

All that's necessary then is to add a line like "Your (race skill/equipment/stats) provide a further +3 to the base damage of this weapon". The MDFi who chooses the spear and does no unequip their shield will see something like "Your equipment (etc whatever) results in a -2 penalty t...

You might want to use a logarithmic scale, like the one used for spell power. It might seem counter-intuitive, but it's a great way to always show relevant information, which is what the "not showing number" policy is about. Going to have to disagree here, as the spell power scale confuse...

Okay, I've completed my exercise of calculating weapon damage via spreadsheet so that I have a grasp of the factors before trying to work on this patch. It also gives me a sense of scale and of what kind of information is doable and would be useful. Good work. Thanks! - Speed is best shown as attac...

I bet he quaffed a potion of blindness :roll:

In your example with axes - if you have small skill with Axes - you'll be missing a lot of targets with War axe, so you have to use hand axe for awhile just to increase your proficiency. Nope. It's better to use the war axe. You'll hit less often but you'll do more damage overall. It's the same wit...

It has been buffed recently. No longer affects caster and gear.

Sorry, I'm going to have to disagree with your first point. A "genuine" hybrid would be one that truly casts spells and fights in combat, i.e. the Reaver is the only genuine hybrid in Crawl (as a starting background at least). I would say Transmuters and Crusaders are melee classes with m...

I think he has a point. It's better to make them easier to escape than easier to kill. Especially the monsters who guards branch end vaults.

Hexes are about negative effects, not positive ones. And regular Haste is already awesome for Beoghites even if they never cast it on themselves. But Beoghites benefits a lot from heavy armour. And casting L6 in heavy armour is no fun. Also, the difference in MP cost is quite significant if you pla...

In my case, I happen to like Sludge Elves and Cheibriados as well so I get to have all the cake, but Transmuters of all kinds are my favourite class for loads of reasons. Thought I'd start a thread for my fellow shifty characters to share the love... I love transmuters too, for all the reasons you ...

The battle cry is a nice idea. For resistances, I think Beogh should just bless followers with random resistances. 1 for warriors, 2 for knights and 3 for warlords. The orc should get the blessing, not his gear. Also, adding a L4 Hexes spell "Haste other" would be awesome for Beoghites.

I think it's ok, because drowning deaths while harsh are quite rare. The interface is already doing a good job at warning and preventing them as much as possible. It's doing such a good job, that it creates a feeling of security which leads players to think: "I don't have to pay too much attent...

The last line is key - every level in UC gives you +1 base damage. Other things worth noting: Spider or Lich - base damage = 5 Ice beast - base damage = 12 Blade hands - base damage = 12 + str/4 + dex/4 Statue form - base damage = 12 + str Dragon form - base damage = 20 + str I'm thinking I've gott...

So the penalty is a die roll based on each of your EV penalties. The shield EV penalty to hit is doubled if using a 1.5 handed weapon with a shield. The shield and armour penalties themselves are calculated in player.cc starting around line 2049, but I can't figure it out, mostly because a "sc...

Yes. But it's only 1d(AEVP) (I think), so quite insignificant.

If you want to go heavy armour, you should put on the plate mail as soon as you find it. I wish that weren't the case. I'd rather have players use medium armours to train their armour skill and switch to plate only when sufficiently skilled. But I digress, this is off-topic. Why? The malus in weari...

Armour doesn't affect your attack speed except for unarmed now, yeah. So if I want to train armor there's no point in waiting to equip that plate mail I found on 1st dungeon level? If you want to go heavy armour, you should put on the plate mail as soon as you find it. I wish that weren't the case....

The feature is in 0.8. In the \ screen, you can toggle between known and unknown items with "-".

water walking allows to use an in-game mechanic to build flavour easily. I love the water walking flavour :D . I'm sad that it feels so fragile. You never know when your piety is going to decay and drowning this way is a very stupid death. We should definitely fix it so the player has 10-20 turns t...

He only says in 1 time in 10, that's why I thought it wasn't working. You should get a message on putting them on, but you don't. Same problem with an amulet of rage. I know why and I'm fixing it.

joellercoaster wrote:He does when you try to move, though ("Cheibriados says you should slow down", I think).

No, he doesn't. I looked at the code, and it really looks like a bug.

My current character, having filled his other slots OK, is still having trouble finding boots. Of course, except for the pair of Boots of Runnning I found about two minutes after choosing a God. So my question is, if I make the boots Ponderous, will the brand's slowdown remove the speed of the boot...

The icon does look a bit too clean. But wasn't the old one small and pixelated? Let's hope your computer recovers, so that you can fix it for us

Also, glad to hear you're planning on using Denzi's title text on your title screens.
Obviously, I like the new titles. I added them

How do you macro autofight?

Thanks for your message and interesting suggestions. I agree with the basic problem that many spells are too good and too easy to cast and that every spellcasters end up with it. Now, about the different solutions: * Nerfing. I think some spells could be nerfed by simply making them much more depend...

English isn't my first language either, but I've seen "she" used as a sort of neutral gender sometimes ("he" never). For boats and pets for example.

HAHAHA I knew that they removed instant Stat death but its never happened to me before. I almost wonder what happens when one dies of Strength or Dex. Just tried out Strength in Wiz mode and it just says that you die... But the morgue file says "Collapsed under their own weight". And for ...

They still burn. They don't corrode armour, though.

The change wasn't made because of flavour, but because of gameplay. Single school L9 was too easy to cast and tornado is very powerful.

when installed with the windows installer, save and morgue directory are in %APPDATA%\crawl.

oops, that thanks was for minmay, not MisterMonkey. I totally agree. Enchant a broad axe to +4 in mid-game is much more important for survivability than a slight chance of pushing an hypothetical demon whip to +9 for the endgame. And you might end up with an artefact weapon anyway. Don't hoard on re...

div_rand_round divides a number by another, and randomly round the result up or down depending on remainder. So div_rand_round(10, 3) returns 3 or 4, but on average it returns 10/3. random2avg(a, b) does the same as random2(a), but makes b rolls and average the result. So the formula here takes the ...

a fountain-draining macro of / being qy so i can stand on a fountain and hold / until Some random monster comes and kill you before you have the time to release the key. Never hold down a key.

But when I play on trunk the darkest shades of green on the floor becomes black, am I the only one with this problem? (the files in rltiles looks exactly like the ones I submitted)

I have it too. No idea what's causing it though.

The abyss randomly teleports you sometimes.

Indeed. Trog's wrath is brutal.

More Irony: I could have done Alistair's Intoxication, and survived.

Alistair's doesn't work on Nagas. They are poison resistant.

The crawl wiki has a very detailed article on attack speed which I think is accurate at least for 0.7. There is a hard-coded minimum player weapon speed of 3, and if the minimum delay is less than three it is increased to three. The speed brand comes into effect after the check against the minimum a...

What version? Haste has been nerfed to 1.5 speed in trunk.

with good conjuration and air, Kenku make great AE in trunk.

It just defaults to the last spell you cast.

Thanks, nice article. With good writing
