I'm curious: why would it be better to outright axe two full Hell branches rather than shorten all of them? That seems like the babies getting tossed with the bathwater (why do we still use this idiom, when is the last time you threw out bathwater), if anything. The individual Dis, Geh, Coc, and Ta...

There aren't any upstairs in Hell (though there are in 4.1 and their significance is unknown). well yes okay thank you for the pedantry. please mark all "A gateway to Hell.", that appears in the branches of hell known as "the ashen valley of Gehenna", "the Iron City of Dis&...

I agree that the ring's ability to land you in the drink is kind of a problem, and honestly I'd like to see it just give permaflight (not sure whether I'd make the artefact property give permaflight as well, stay the same, or be removed). I don't think making it simply renewable would be a good idea...

If you don't like use you could just say so!

Well, NetHack has also been inherently relevant to how Crawl could play. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a font of good design decisions.

Do you seriously think this should be in GDD? Game design, even of the sort that GDD has, is not something that should be done by vote.

edit: oh, and now i see that it's you. never mind then.

duvessa: Very well spoken. I don't think that overall difficulty has anything to do with the LOS change. As everyone knows who's been around for a while: difficulty fluctuates noticeably from version to version. For example, Lair subbranch cuts and zombie expiration were two straight-up nerfs (with...

crawl:master and TomConrad:felid_reform are identical.

Looks like something got messed up in git.

Does pressing 'ctrl' once make it go away? If so, it's a known bug (that we really need to find someone who knows how to debug :().

It looks good to me (admittedly I'm not an expert about the C++-Lua code interface). You probably don't need to check item &&, since you already returned from the function if item is null, but that's just a small quibble. We generally try to wrap lines to 80 characters -- check out https://g...

The stealth factor actually does scale with your piety.

Yes, monsters are always mesmerised.

It wasn't possible because the demon-summoning hadn't been implemented for them; that's just been fixed, so you can in trunk.

I think ?recharging should act as a ?EW for electrocution weapons. This will introduce many interesting decisions.

You can use https://github.com/crawl/crawl/commits/ ... ce/rltiles instead, which also has a much better interface.

Enhancer staffs don't act as anti-enhancers on opposing schools yes they do Hm, so they do, I don't know why I thought that, oh well, not like switching weapons is a big deal in any case. Possibly worth noting that an enhancer to fire automatically counts as a dehancer to ice, and vice versa, and s...

post your dump in code tags, please. i was going to respond to this by searching for a full toilet on google images and posting a link in code tags. now i'm going to throw up, thanks a lot dont worry i have a pic of a full toilet already. here it is http://i.imgur.com/NBmvRfi.png Disgusting.

Code:: <Sequell> crawl players[19/19]: <dpeg> IronDongz. I remember bits about obnoxious players, but that name leaves me blank.

I thought the old one was Charlie Brown.

Well, duh? I assumed that was the point, since I don't know what other basis for a list could you use.

As n1000 implied, don't skip Call Imp - just stop casting it after joining TSO (bind to a capital letter and/or forget it if you read-ID amnesia or are done with the starting book). FWIW, in trunk it should now prompt you before casting it as a TSO worshipper (I added the functionality for this ver...

This, but marsupials instead of placentals.

Why? I'm pretty sure any extended heavy-armour melee type could make great use of para needles if they had throwing skill, even with 0 stealth. Well, do you have any other suggestions for weighting javelins versus needles in acquirement? That's not a rhetorical question; there's probably a better w...

I'm at XL 15 and I've gotten tons of throwables and not a needle yet. Perhaps Stealth or trwowing actions vs. Blowgun actions are taken into account? That's correct, training Stealth improves your chance of getting needles (since if you're going to be stabbing with them, you'd want to train stealth...

You need clear_messages = false (and force_more_message = as Sandman25 says).

Ponderousness is pretty reasonable on a centaur of not-chei too.

Yes, but only if you're playing a version newer than Friday. So if you're on 0.16, there's no damage difference, except that you don't get poisoned and have damage over time.

You should upload your savefile to https://crawl.develz.org/mantis/view.php?id=9358, instead of making a new bug report.

I like the idea of having a little Xom mixed in to every game even if it wasn't implemented this way. A portal to a mini-level ("Xom's Whimsical Realm") where Xom acts on you as if you were a Xom worshipper. Enemies are chaotic and such. Loot is a mix of chaotic stuff (i.e. mostly useless...

I think V:5 can't get shops normally, since they place as vaults and can't overwrite other vaults. (Long ago, they were placed by the code itself, and there were stories of shops in Yiuf's house or under the serpentine rune). That makes the number of shops all the more impressive!

Yes, the duration is based on Invocations skill, and nothing else. It's something like 20 + 4d(Evocations skill) (note that this is not the actual formula, just approximately pretty close).

Happy April Fool's everybody!

I was really thinking about keeping the amount of food the same. It seems that the implicit first assumption ("you usually have rPois by poison branch") is more correct than the implicit second ("the original design intention of poison chunks is to lower the amount of food you have in...

I originally made poisonous chunks clean, as per that first commit, then made them totally inedible in the second commit, which I definitely admit could be better-named/described. I'm willing to revert back to the state of 7e18a9b639e8, but I think it might be fair to test out this new change in the...

It's a good thing it does and has for years, then!

I couldn't get DCSS 0.16 (tiles) to run on my Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Is there any chance for getting a 10.6.8 compatible version? Probably not; I'm not sure whether the release can even run on 10.7. I believe we'd need to find someone with a 10.6 system to compile the binary for us (Apple ...

Elms were already removed for being OP, afraid this race doesn't stand much of a chance.

Cool to see species-data.h in use!

Multiple seraphs appearing is a bug. Multiple seraphim are fine though.

sorry :(

The issue is not that Sequell can not look for it, but rather that the information is not in what Sequell looks at, which are the logfiles. You could modify Sequell to scrape logs, perhaps, but at that point you might just as well write your own bot.

Double-posting to separate personal opinion from the facts... I don't remember that past issue too well, but "devteam[6] ?" on its own came across rather more bitter than it appears you had meant it. I suppose you had not necessarily meant to reopen the ticket -- I don't know if that happe...

i suspect i'll regret this, but this was the entire conversation: Xom thinks this is hilarious! Ahem. Try to reproduce this. You probably won't find Xom doing this for his first action in the next 1000 attempts. As an highly experienced (and even more highly traumatized) Chaos Knight veteran I assur...
