I'm going to stream some C A S U A L MuSu for the tournament on twitch in a couple hours. Will try recording it while streaming so I can maybe turn the stream into a tutorial with voice-over commentary.

You deprive the world of another exciting episode of dynast vs. the royal jelly? How dare you!

I would get 12-15 invo with Sif on a magic-heavy character, more only if I'm getting more than 3 runes or otherwise have a lot of XP to burn. Only 5 invo with Sif if you're using a lot of magic isn't very good. Using a CBoE for a 3-rune game is already really bad if we're trying to talk about reason...

You can copy your cdo rc from a url like: http://crawl.develz.org/configs/trunk/<name>.rc where <name> is replaced with your account name. After that, the easiest way would be to copy your trunk rc contents, log into cdo, open your 0.17 rc in the editor from the menu there, and past your trunk rc co...

Follow-up: After some discussion I realized the syntax error I was getting from that line is due to the use of { and } as code block delimiters in the RC; the parser is seeing that } by itself in delta_to_vi() as a termination of the code block. Using < and > instead to open and close the RC code bl...

Ok, this took a while to track down all the problems, but there are a couple issues I ran into before making this work. Two things you need to do: (1) Use the RC file here , which is your 0.17 RC on CSZO modified to have the contents of autofight.lua at the end with the necessary changes to delta_to...

Just pointing at that we put a feature freeze in effect before all releases and during the tournament. No significant gameplay changes should occur between 0.17 and trunk from the date of the freeze (Oct 29th) until after the 0.17 tournament ends. I'm not aware of any Fedhas changes that happened in...

Yes, we'll try to be closer to a two weeks heads-up to players next time. I should have just put up a simple announcement on CDO after that date was decided near the end of October to give players an extra few days notice, although a full two weeks wasn't possible this time. Sorry if this doesn't wo...

After some discussion, we agreed to remove the 25 point bonus for the Spiteful tier 3 banner. The rules page and scoring scripts have been updated to reflect this. Thanks for pointing out that omission from the banner text.

See this post on CDO for more details. The tournament home page is online and shows the rule changes from the 0.16 tournament. We'll make the 0.17 release itself shortly before the tournament begins. Best of luck to everyone playing!

IMO sif is pretty much always better than veh for winning, simply because channeling is better than vehumet's passives for at least the first few stars of piety (it's impossible for early veh gifts to be useful to any character that would remotely want either god). What early gifts are we talking a...

Race me in Ghosts n' Goblins. Consider this a public challenge.

hp aren't even good. Only bad players say things like moving in a direction tapers off in mid-game. Things way better than hp that are actually broken: saving, quitting, leaving notes like ":ok", char dump. Basically I'm saying hp are like reddit with a really questionable Berlin interpret...

Imagine I'd like to know the fastest (turncount) wins and the players, e.g. !lg * win urune=15 Mi-- turn<35000 s=turn, name will search for all mino wins with 15 runes in < 35 k turns: 6 games for * (win urune=15 Mi-- turn<35000): 30129 (PurpleRed), 27655 (keymashgrqeeg), 27486 (PurpleRed), 28057 (...

It's used extensively in level layouts and in des files that define vaults. The dlua interpreter used in crawl has functions to call into most aspects of level generation and player, monster, and item manipulation. There's also a clua interpreter that the player can call into through their rc file w...

Banned users can't log in at all, nor update their avatar or signature. They just see the ban reason message and get a mailto link for forum@crawl.develz.org (not even sure if anyone checks that).

Amusingly, even as a board admin, I can't find a way to tell if an account is currently banned. <grumble subject="phpbb" /> Yes, onget was banned. I don't actually know if it was a temp or permanent ban. You can go to Moderator Control panel and then either User Notes or to Banning and th...

Oh that's interesting, I hadn't thought of how they might have a specific scoring system for that. I thought it was more or less a traditional realtime speedrun. I'm not sure, but this might end up being similar to a crawl tournament or the the CSDC that WalkerBoh ran a few times, but with an emphas...

what is your fighting style and signature move?

But he made it to the last boss, ignored my advice to sp...

1) You've played that game way more than me before we raced. We raced an easier game we both hadn't played and I destroyed you with my novel boss strategies and jukes. 2) Adventure Island more like Poop Island, can't believe it was one of Hudsonsoft's premier titles. 3) You won't play real games lik...

All you need to watch is this amazing improvised technique as I defeat the last boss the first time I fight it. Sorry I forgot to enable sound, apparently.

Ah but in the true test of skill, a one-time play-through of a game we've both never played, we learn who has the real skill:

my emulator crashed and I have to play with a keyboard and I dont know how to play cv1 and Frank was a major pain in the ass with that little jumping flea dude wtf.

Yes, it and related fixes were back-ported into 0.16. See the 0.16 commit log . We regularly do this for any important fixes from trunk that also affect the stable release and then make stable point releases for download as necessary (0.16.3 will be released along with 0.17). Basically if it's an im...

He was more thinking what MainiacJoe attempted, but there are a few reasons why don't want to do it. The first is that it won't work in console; users will simply see shallow water and there's no way this approach can show the right glyph. Secondly actual arches are susceptible to LRD, and this one ...

Indeed, fixed in 0.17-a0-1805-g6093636, thanks! Also, it's nice if you can report bugs on Mantis so we can see them more easily.

You can use grep just fine since our codebase is pretty flat, with most relevant files directly in the source directory, but it can be better to use a tool like git grep, which will search any file in the tree automatically and knows how to do things like search for a context function. Here's what g...

It was fixed by wheals in 0.17-a0-1754-gcb87171, and servers have been updated.

Mod Note: Moved to S&C since that is the relevant place for this discussion.

A personal insult can be one like "all current crawl developers are childish fools." That's simply being personally insulting to each person in that group. It's somehow different if someone makes a bullet list with every name in that group next to text of "childish fool"? It's ce...

Seems like a new monster called 'juggernaut' got added to the recent trunk version. I want to know its stats-hp, movement speed, AC/EV/ whatever numeric values the game is not showing . Is there any way I can get access to the information? Emphasis added by me to highlight what was in the original ...

There's also the following interesting phenomenon: <Gretell> juggernaut skeleton (Z) | Spd: 13 | HD: 20 | HP: 128-156 | AC/EV: 14/3 | Dam: 116 | undead, evil, unbreathing | Res: magic(26), cold++, poison+++, drown, rot+++, neg+++, torm | Vul: holy++ | XP: 1426 | Sz: Giant | Int: brainless. <Gretell>...

Yes, you can query the Gretell bot in the ##crawl channel on IRC with a query prefix of '@??', like this: <+gammafunk> @??juggernaut < Gretell> juggernaut (C) | Spd: 15 (atk: 450%) | HD: 20 | HP: 158-185 | AC/EV: 20/10 | Dam: 120 | doors, fighter, see invisible | Res: magic(120), drown | XP: 7224 | ...

Out of curiosity: How does the fighting skill scale in on that damage progression, exactly? I was always under the assumption that an increase in accuracy is more important than a slightly better delay? It has a large impact on damage even if you don't consider accuracy. It's an N/60 increase in da...

Is this what it feels like to be in a love triangle?

OP, the guide has been updated with instructions for how to use Git for Windows SDK that you mentioned. I recommend this approach if have any trouble getting Cygwin to work. The SDK takes a little while to install, but is otherwise easy to get running and you have a working compilation environment w...

OP, Berder's list above is the basic idea for how you make a melee character that also casts damaging magic spells. You can disregard any useless meme posts in this thread of "you can't use conjurations or damaging magic depending on spell power." You also don't at all need Cheibriados to ...

they need haste spell because they want to say "chei is shit! because chei forbides haste!".

No, they're not talking about the haste spell, they're talking about haste potions and the wand of hasting, because that's how most people use haste.

Mod Note: This thread has reached the end of its life in terms of productive conversation, I think. Thanks to archaeo for getting an important topic started and putting together a spreadsheet that can be referenced later. There's certainly interest among several dev team members in addressing the fo...

It's back. The new 0.16.2-1 release depends on an unavailable version of libstdc++6 (>= 4.9). This is on Linux Mint 17.2 which is otherwise current and up-to-date. Sorry about that! I built the packages relative to utopic instead of trusty (apparently forgot the lesson learned when releasing 0.16.0...

Mod Note: Split off the discussion regarding the hunger interface and starvation into a GDD topic.

Moderator's Note: Split hunger interface and starvation off into this topic in GDD, since we're making some commits based on various feedback. This topic is about the hunger interface and how starvation works. Please see the AF_HUNGER topic if you want to talk about the hungry ghost / death cob cha...

With this commit from neil adding a hunger state of for "fainting from hunger", you'll now know when your nutrition is low enough that you can faint. There's a hunger status light of "Fainting", and a message of "You are fainting from starvation!" (which can be put in f...

You can find 0.14-a the latest windows build made on CDO for the version before the removal (which was in 0.14-a0-2810-g474977d) here: Windows Tiles+Console Installer Windows Tiles zip I tested the installer in Wine and Tiles works fine.

OP, if you're curious about what's been done speedrun-wise as summoners for 15-rune speedruns since the summons nerf in 0.10-a/0.11, here's are some: A summoner from 0.12 that started IE since that was a stronger start overall compared to Su. Quit on D:1 with the Orb because it just missed having th...

Monster summoners still have a chance of casting Mass Abjure each time they would summon. Fighting most summoners is pretty easy if you have mass abjure and sif because you can easily outsummon them, although you want to keep in mind that any summoning monster can abjure your summons.
