Hmm, interesting points. Some graphs: orc priest hp distribution yak hp distribution ancient lich hp distribution (Monster random hp is just a normal distribution roughly replicated by "dice". An orc priest is equally likely to have 16 or 17 hp) The whole point of Crawl combat is that it's...

This came up in ##crawl-dev, it seemed like a good thing to post here since it part of it only needs one counter-example. Most monsters in Crawl have a variable amount of hp. For example, orc priest can have between 9-21 hp. This follows normal distribution, so orc priests are far more likely to hav...

Code:: { function hp_conduct() local hp, mhp = you.hp() return ((mhp - hp) > 100) end function ready() if hp_conduct() then crawl.sendkeys("*qyes") end end }

I'd be interested in learning what that item does - the twitter account mentions at least 10 effects, and describes what two of them do.

I don't have time the track down all the particulars, but practically this exact suggestion has been suggested before and shot down for a variety of reasons IIRC. (Two particular issues I see: often Dg is something you want to choose at the beginning of the game, and Dg having an easy time early on ...

According to the wiki The wiki is a terrible, terrible, place to get your information, most pages are wrong or outdated in some way. The spell success page I found doesn't even claim to be more recent than 0.10, which is before I even started playing. (As an example off the top of my head: I know t...

Forlorn seems sort of alright as a random mutation, but I'm not sure that it would work as a basis for a race since Dg exists. I think a soft cap on piety would be different from hard restriction. For example, an effect which reduces spell success (A "heavy" armour, the Sap Magic effect) ...

https://crawl.develz.org/mantis/view.php?id=7355 Wow almost a year old and nothing lol. I guess it was considered to be a non-issue? Generally if nobody handles something on mantis in a way with a clear resolution - such as fixing the bug or stating a change won't be done - the issue just stays ope...

I'd probably push a patch if somebody made it and posted it on mantis, this seems like a good idea.

How would you handle something like a Fo in treeform during a Sprint?

Kill stealer.

Edit: Just fixed Sirens too. (879dee4)

I'm playing 0.15-a0-813-g5152fba (latest version I could find to download for a Mac) and orb spiders keep their usual movement AI even when enslaved (just confirmed in Wizmode). I originally tested perma-ally orb spiders (by x'ing over them in wiz-mode and pressing F to cycle through the attitudes)...

and into wrote:+ Orb Spiders: ..... Their "keep away" AI should be overwritten when allied.

Have you tried this recently? This commit from around six months ago claims to fix it, and when I tired it in Wiz mode it appeared to actually fix it. (I haven't tried Sirens)

Um, since ego aux armor is very rare, let alone ego aux armor with decent plusses, doesn't this change mean that players will almost never have a reasonable opportunity to use an enchant armor scroll on body armor again, rendering dragon armor in particular nigh-unwearable? Right now you can easily...

Did the change actually do this? It looks like PF's commit just makes it so that all plain equipment is now +0 and nothing else is changed. Indeed, yes. Be careful what you wish for, guys! :P If "plain" means "neither glowing or runed" then yes that's what happened. It's a diffi...

What's rw? Scroll of teleportation? (I think ad is Corrupt)

I removed melee-only, liquid-only monsters from the liquid spawn tables. This won't affect vaults and such, but if this change work swell a review of vaults which use these monsters will probably happen.

Since your work on this seems to be rather serious, and I don't want you to do a lot of work based on false assumptions, allow me to say that this: the mantis patch is extremely unlikely to make it in the game. One reason for this is code quality, special casing every possible ability would make thi...

It's still being worked on, although progress is slow and happens in fits and starts..(and I hope it is finished eventually - I would hate for such a masterpiece to go uncompleted.)

This seems completely reasonable and nobody objected in ##crawl-dev, so I'll do this. Poke me if I haven't done this in the next week or so.

(And yes I'll give wyrmbane a special case which lets it keep the bonus damage to dragons.)

duvessa wrote:Someone asks to remove a monster, and in response, a monster gets added instead. Crawl development at its finest.

A) There is only a chance the new monster will make it in. B) If it does make it in, my understanding is it would replace bone dragons rather than be added in addition to bone dragons.

Lasty wrote:* Turned off amulet of faith for Iashol.

Everything else is great, but Gozag and Xom show special casing is superior to disabling with "faith. It seems reasonable for "faith to give more Iashol piety per sacrifice, but take away some of the carefully earned piety on removal.

0.15 is apparently dumping allies picking up equipment and reworking Beoghite Orcs appropriately, so this might be redundant, but it would still be nice if my flock actually got improvements to their personal qualities. This is already in Trunk, it would be best if you played some Trunk Beogh befor...

As a minor note, since Igni still has a vague chance of getting in it might be best if Iashol received a name which does not start with "I". Iashol is being actively developed so they definitely have priority over Igni, but if the god is being renamed anyway it seems best to sidestep this ...

Yes the passives of Dith are great but it's kind of hard to know when to use his abilities... I'm sure a better player than I could use them effectively but I never really used any of them.

I feel like I saw a similar proposal not too long ago. Not sure if anything came of it. PleasingFungus has been working on a more fleshed out version of this idea for a while now. So yes the core idea is good but there's absolutely zero elaboration in this thread on the mechanics of the god. (And t...

My guess for the best way would be a item prop, I don't know if item props are accessible to the description code or how easy it would be to connect them.

A brief ##crawl-dev discussion decided making closing doors take more time with items on square but also push out all items on that square (including corpses, like vault wardens) would probably be best. I would push a patch to that effect.

I have yet to see somebody articulate a good reason to do this, even though it's probably the most common suggestion recently. I don't deny one might exist, but nobody has made a good argument. This is still true. There have been a few hints at reasons - descriptions of the current situation such a...

This was agreed to be something which would be a good experiment in a ##crawl-dev conversation (not due to this thread, like a week back). However, nobody has made a patch. If somebody does (and the code is of high enough quality etc.) then I would push it. A couple people thought this would reduce ...

Can we add an option to automatically eat a ration if we're resting and no nutrition would be wasted? Would such a patch be welcome? (Not sure why I'm asking on tavern but I'm not going to go on irc at work.) It seems like there's no longer a reason not to do that, and by making it rations only, th...

crate: First of all, thank you for your excellent post. (heck, chunks even still exist so it doesn't even help the situation where carrying them is actually annoying: the spells that use them!). Changing spells (and also possibly Ghouls) to not use chunks is in the works. The goal with chunkless (or...

The idea of self-banishment as a good thing is covered by weapons of distortion (which are sometimes used for this purpose) and the Lugonu Invocation "Enter the Abyss" (which is this ability except reusable if you keep your piety up.) Those mine this design vein enough a third item is comp...

Has +2 SH per shield enchantment been reverted? I ask because my trunk character had roughly 18 SH with a +3 buckler, but now seems to have 12 SH. I realize that is a difference of 6 and not 3, but these numbers are from memory and may be off. Anyone know what recently changed with SH after the abo...

Yes, forlorn messes with invocation use. I spammed a lot of Trog's Hand during the ascent, and I noticed it sometimes took a couple of attempts to trigger it. I added Forlorn. It acts as a anti-faith, reducing piety gain. It does not affect Invocations fail rate at all.* (Go clustering illusion!) I...

Currently it looks like chunks will be removed once we figure out how all the minor uses (Necromancy, Gh, etc.) will work without them. I wouldn't call it an urgent change but it'll probably happen eventually.

The new chunkless branch is up on CSZO and CBRO. I am sure almost everybody here knows how awful pressing "c" is, and we're finally close to removing it. Only Gh can eat chunks in the branch, and that might change soon to just eating corpses or some other change. Major Changes: Only Gh ca...

Note, by the way, I messed up on the Igni rebase in a way that breaks the tiles build. I'm planning to look at it in the next few days, but Igni was Trunk features is unfortunately not quite available yet.

reaver wrote:I tried updating smith god once:

Twice now, this time I actually did it. So if you want to try Igni but love the item destruction change, now's your chance. Note this breaks save compatibility with old smithgod (but not Trunk!). Also there are no online experimental branches yet.

KoboldLord wrote:Maybe you just happened to draw one of the less garish Lair endings?

This is what happened. Lair endings still exist and spawn each game, it's just some Lair endings can be hard to notice. I've cleared Lair: 8 multiple times and only realized I cleared the branch when I couldn't find a staircase.

There's already a monster enchantment for acid, which just halves their AC and doesn't stack. I'm not sure what the power level of that is but using the monster enchantment will solve most of the design problems brought up.

I've disable layout_big_grid because as mentioned here it's not really interesting.

Should I add a request here ? Besides the Tavern, there is no formal place to put feature requests. If it looks like there is one, than we aren't actually using it and we'll just close it without implementing it or discussion. This idea sounds fine to me, but generally the people who handle server ...

I happened to have summon mana viper on my most recent char and managed to kill the thor Hunter nicely. Died later because I didn't realize Raven were speed 20 (and more general bad tactics).
