My only Quazlal game was a while ago and the problem I'm going to talk about didn't actually manifest because I died somewhat early. But making a distinction (any distinction) between friendly and hostile clouds seems bad to me. Just treating all clouds the same seems like a big boost to usability ...

Hello, I have just installed Crawl-tiles on Ubuntu 14.04, however I can't actually open it. There's a second of a black screen and it crashes. Does anybody have any idea what might be the problem and, more importantly, how to solve it? Try opening a terminal and running crawl-tiles from there. When...

Autofight is in dat/clua/autofight.lua, and our C++-lua interface is in l_*.cc

Why doesn't tab move the player towards submerged spaces? I can only guess that there are some cases where where a submerged space isn't a target of opportunity; for example if the submerged space is an ally. What should it do when the monster doesn't unsubmerge when you are adjacent? Step onto the...

This sounds like something that could be implemented as LUA code and turned into a macro. That's like saying 'you can implement autoexplore in LUA, why should we make it a feature of the game'. The whole point of useful, time saving, mental energy saving shortcuts is that they should be built into ...

Has anyone figured out an easy way to build DCSS in a directory other than source directory? I would like to keep around simultaneously different builds (regular console, debug, tiles) of the same sources without having to recompile the whole thing over and over again. This would be only for runnin...

The problem with that is that firing an arrow then, say, being crystal speared twice before you can react sounds awful.

I believe the only thing that can start forest fires that you can start with right now is lightning bolt. Also fireball, but that one's a little unintuitive too: the splash won't start fires, so you have to center the targetter on the tree (or use shift-direction if you happen to be lined up proper...

Why, in trunk, can I no longer burn trees? One, little, tiny advantage that my starting DEWz had was the ability to set blazes in trees using Conjure Flame. Once, he was the fear of only Oklobs and Wandering Mushrooms. Now, he's a pinata for absolutely everything. It was also quite useful for clear...

Could change wand of random effects to have infinite charges... Introduce that, and you'd have to introduce "wand breaking"; the act of being able to snap a wand in half before discarding it so a monster doesn't pick it up. Otherwise, half of the lava in the lava pits would be from discar...

yeah i do that a lot, on Dvorak keyboard layout . is less of a stretch than f so i have a hard time retraining myself maybe this is an argument for using macros You might try using Z rather than z; it doesn't auto-cancel when there are no targets.

Somewhat related fr: please prevent certain spells and things like blowguns from targeting the player when no targets are in range. At least add a prompt. There used to be a prompt so why is it gone now? For example I'm firing needles at a sky beast, it goes invisible, and the next needle hits my c...

It drives me nuts that when you reflexively cast a spell with no valid targets, it uses a turn. The biggest case of this is while attacking an enemy that just turned invisible- if you are reflexively using the main attack spell, it just gives them free hits. Tabbing with no targets in view doesn't ...

Done.

I think I have fixed this one. I did some testing with an encompass version of the vault (so I could limit the number of available hatch destinations), and this change seemed to stop the player from landing inside. Uniques can still generate inside; we've been discussing how to fix that. Probably by...

IIRC, there are some extra libraries you need only if you're compiling tiles. There should be a text file in the base directory listing what. where i get some extra lib? In the top-level directory of the crawl repository, do: git submodule update --init That checks out our versions of those librari...

I agree with crate - just drop the accuracy enchantment altogether. Making +dam and slaying the same as base damage would be great too - then you could just look and say "yes that +12 dagger is the same as a +0 great sword". If players, including those who frequent GDD, think that a dagge...

Question: can enemies with Simulacrum (which is mainly necromancers, IIRC) still levitate corpses over to themselves to make a simulacrum, or do they have to walk over it first? Monster Simulacrum now works like Animate Dead, affecting all corpses in LOS. It only gives half as many simulacra per co...

Inner Flame is now safe to use on allies. It still doesn't work on summons.

Fair enough. I also should probably pay more attention, and not just blindly press buttons like that, but it's hard not to autopilot little stuff like that. Also, this might be a total non-issue, since the removal of chunk eating means I won't be trying to eat chunks I may or may not have. Until th...

As far as I can tell, it re-prompts if you select an empty inventory slot ("You don't have any such object"), but stops if you select an inventory slot that doesn't contain food ("You can't eat that!"); and this has been the case since 0.8. So it wasn't a change, but is an incons...

This is done to punish anyone stupid enough to not pick FeBe instead, I presume.

It's to make them not strictly better than FeFi. Possibly FeFi could be buffed instead.

That was supposed to have been fixed a few weeks ago, but there was a bug in the fix. It should be working correctly once the servers update.

Isn't that the current mechanic?

Webtiles does not run on top of apache; it is its own web server (implemented on top of the Tornado framework for python). Akrasiac in particular has some times of extremely heavy load, mostly in the mornings (maybe 9:00 or 10:00 Eastern time UTC-0500). You might try some of the other servers: crawl...

That was my fault: I never added CDO 0.14 to the scoring scripts. It is updating now and should be updated within an hour or so.

I guess I see what you mean. It's a wand of some spell, rather than a wand of some effect. I'd prefer it was a "wand of healing", but I guess I'm moving in the wrong direction in regards to clarity... It used to be, and potions of curing used to be potions of healing. They were changed to...

Merfolk are not male-only: Ilsuiw for example is a female merfolk, not a mermaid.

What server, and is is still happening? We had several accidental save compatibility breaks today.

Surely we can crib some blood potion code here and have a vector of enchantments( a vector of timers seems much more complex)? but then the question of which net do you want to throw arise. Blood potions had several bugs related to the timers getting out of sync that lasted for five or more years. ...

Did it create any "crash-" files in the morgues or saves directory? If so (or if there's a more complete message somewhere else), pasting them here would be helpful. The message you quoted unfortunately doesn't give us much to go on.

It's in (also the corresponding fix for floor-generated hides). Also, following XuaXua's suggestion, hides no longer display their enchantment, since it's always +0 and always known.

For the benefit of the commenters (and it took me a little while to work out what duvessa meant), this is about identifying the plus on dragon hides (which is always generated at +0). The issue is that troves can demand dragon armour, but troves don't accept unidentified items, so you have to spend ...
