I might try my hand at coding this, but we need a new name first - we have at least one S god and possibly two depending on how you're counting (Sif Muna and TSO, though TSO is more of a 1 than an S IMO).

ORIENT: ought to work fine with them.

Actually, the other vaults probably shouldn't be minivaults anyway (xref Zot entry vaults).

Ever play a deep dwarf or a mummy? They both have a mechanic that involves this.

Your functions such as callback.sealing_stone need to be at the beginning of the file, before any map definitions; otherwise they're considered to be part of a map definition.

Now do it on Vaults:5.

If you want deities to be a factor, also consider Hu - they're flexible enough to adapt to basically anything.

As the creator of the unrand in question, I feel like chiming in and saying the Contam was there as a relic of the hat's original design, and getting right of it is fine by me.

...you constrict tentacled monstrosity!

It already ignores MR; why would it suddenly need to check MR?

Did your game conclude (i.e. died/escaped) before the tournament ended?

If not, it doesn't count as a tournament game.

It's a solid block of crystal, so you're not missing anything.

eeviac wrote:forest was created as a crypt swap

Forest only rotates with Crypt because at the time it landed we couldn't think of somewhere else to put it without affecting game length too much. If some runes freed up, I could see them co-existing.

Code:: b - the +6,+8 bow "Miher" {speed, rF+ rN+ Dex+2}

Shame it's not a longbow, but I've already cleared Snake and most of Vaults with it...

Code:: ssh -i <path-to-keyfile> username@server

Remove everything but humans - why bother? Remove every background - they all turn out the same way anyway. Remove all branches - they all play the same anyway. Remove D - 27 branches of exactly the same thing. Clearly Crawl needs to be one room with the Orb and a few monsters between it, you, and t...

This amuses me greatly.

That is evilmike_zot_entry_castle, and it's been around for a while.

I did write an implementation for monster Portal Projectile a long time ago; essentially, it's not around because we don't have a use for it at present.

DeathKnyte wrote:Please do tell; which weapon allowed such a magnificent achievement, with so many "!"'s in the text?

A +7,+8 giant spiked club.

Not even a giant spiked club of crushing or any other brand; just a heavily enchanted but otherwise normal giant spiked club.

The proposal you're looking at is from 2011. A lot has changed since then and many of the suggestions there no longer apply.

If you want to start up a discussion on zigs again, I would start from scratch; my current perception is that not a lot needs to change there right now.

Though, I don't get TeAE, I think I don't get AE at all, with any species. Learn to bolt bounce; use Shock primarily when you can get a bolt bounce with it. Learn Swiftness as soon as you hit XL2; use it to run away from things and to set up bolt bounces. Get Lightning Bolt reasonably castable by L...

That would be pretty depressing.

sprint and zotdef contain saves from Sprint and ZotDef respectively, so those can be copied.

db and des contain databases of text and vaults respectively, which should be generated on a per-version basis, and thus shouldn't be copied.

Wait, what? Clearly "Shedbiking threadmega" is a much better name.

A berserk Ds in dragon form with fighting 27 and robust 3 can get 735 HP; this isn't counting the possibility of rugged brown scales either.

Now you know!

Tarp wrote:I am the dodgiest octopode ever!

That's a pretty dodgy assertion.

I love it when, as a Kiku follower and short blade specialist, I find a +8,+7 quick blade as Lair loot.

Really, a +absurd quick blade of pain eviscerates most of the rest of the game.

As pointed out here , Donald could use dialogue for our newest branch (Forest), but I've come to realise he comes up short in a few other ways - Vaults (where he's currently disabled for lack of dialogue), Abyss, and possibly a few tidbits related to the new Crypt bestiary. He hates not having dialo...

I don't like the idea of anything involving hard breakpoints of the sort you're describing.

In my experience, the two major things that make or break a branch are the monster set and the level layouts.

Are you going to add the spriggans? (druid, defender,berserker, rider) They are present and accounted for - the current (i.e. in trunk with the disabled branch) code for them places them there, since that's what they were originally designed for. This is probably a Fedhas buff, and having it appear...

Hi everyone - I'd like to take a moment to draw everyone's attention to my post about reviving work on the Forest , and in particular the forest_redux branch itself . In particular, I could use help in fine-tuning the monster designs - because I don't have a strong sense of how (un)playable they are...

For those of you wondering what's been going on lately: I've restarted the Forest project essentially from scratch, leveraging various bits and pieces of things worked on recently by mumra and DracoOmega to form something that I think is a little bit more likely to ultimately end up in the game.

In my interactions with the community, nobody seems to like playing Skalds.
