Moved to advice.

"Pieces of fruit" could be a single item type using the speech database for messages like pizza does. Presumably the flavour message for strawberries/grapes/sultanas would be "a handful of <whatever>" to justify them having whatever nutrition value the item ends up getting, sound...

Ignacio already does roughly this in Pan and I don't think it works very well. It just sort of means you have to kill him if he shows up (presumably much more so for this proposal, due to the spell set and knowledge of player location).

"ae += foo" is an autopickup exception, "ae += <foo" is an autopickup inclusion. Also, try the options guide.

Edit: re-opened.

"Don't allow TSO to holy-brand launchers." seems better than any of those to me, especially since none of the other gods can brand launchers. I also wouldn't mind making god-gifted brands (holy, pain, distortion, antimagic) significantly rarer on melee weapons, the main problem with this i...

This is intended (or if it wasn't originally intended, it's not a problem and doesn't need changing). Both the temple_entry_from_below vaults have a glass window to show you the way in.

There are 8 rings of the Octopus King, each with a different main property (Regen, rF+, rC+, SustAb, Hunger-, Wiz, MP+9, rN+), and yes, they can all generate in a single game. Other unrandarts can only generate once.

Code:: 17789 | D:12 | HP: 13/91 [it/bolt of lightning (14)] 17789 | D:12 | Killed from afar by a vapour

That looks like a 14 damage hit and a 23 damage hit while at 27/91 HP to me.

Well, for me at least, I stop casting infusion at some point, i think it's problem stems from the facts that: Always a benefit, it never stops being the same d4 damage it starts as (This could be solved by applying AC to it, early game it'd be great, as things started having AC, it'd do no damage, ...

That's not what the initial post is talking about. This seems like a pretty minor effect and having to go into the monster description to take advantage of it sounds awkward. Naming a specific "strongest" spell from the list might get around that a little bit I guess, still not sure if it'...

Merged the million other posts from other threads on this topic into here.

Here's a really old post detailing why divinations were removed (the reasoning for them not working as spells applies equally to rods).

Some kind of stats screen on the main menu could certainly be neat, it probably qualifies as something that would be nice to have but that nobody has been interested in working on up until now (especially since as was mentioned we have the bots and tournament scripts that do a good job of tracking o...

A surprising fact about meat rations is that you don't do any damage while you're wielding them either.

Edit: also, moved to Advice.

That is exactly how current Slow Healing works, and obviously a replacement that has the same effect at level 3 would continue to work the same way, yes.

I hate to spoil the fun here (okay that's a lie) but they never existed and were just a bad ##crawl joke that got turned into a bad wiki article that never got deleted because ???

Mhm. Looks like all the relevant questions here have been answered.

From the Tile Design Guide : Ideally, both monsters and items should be depicted at a slight angle from the front or side, so you can see both its face and profile. These are player dolls, not monsters; all current player character sprites are facing directly forward. The monster minotaur sprite I ...

ah, okay - both exp and skill exp are fixed and can't be changed yet. I do think the wishlist idea to let them bet set differently from each other would be nice, but if it's significant work to do then I'm sure there's plenty of other work to do also :) In fact it turns out I totally missed the fac...

Someone wrote a patch with a bad commit message and then someone else pushed it without changing it.

(The patch in question removes some leftover speech lines).

Overall experience gain and piety gain are both just multiplied by 9 in sprints. Personally I quite like the way that you tend to lag behind a bit in terms of experience level (I think this is probably just an accidental consequence of how multiplying overall experience worked out) - certainly it do...

Zin can prevent the stat loss (Vitalization), Jyvia and Ely can do nothing (Jyvia can cure mutations, and Ely can heal your HP) There's no god-given restore abilities potion though. (Well, I suppose you have a small chance of getting one from a potion card given by Nemlex) You should read Ely's abi...

The list (with weights) is already in this thread, even.

As was already explained, this won't happen. Feel free to try out the patch from earlier in the thread if you want to implement it locally though!

That'd be good.

You have about 8 power for pure necromancy spells there and there's a 6/power chance to break from the MP-increasing loop when self-sublimating, so this is definitely expected, yeah.

As requested by Grimm, starting a topic here: GDD threads are frequently derailed by off-topic posts that don't attempt to add anything to the discussion. Since there are actually occasionally useful ideas in there, it would be nice to not have to wade through so much trash, so off-topic posts shoul...

* one minor enough: asked for a Staff on scroll of acquirement. According to CrawlWIki, it should have given a staff of Cold since this was my highest magical school. I've got a staff of wizardry. I guess Crawlwiki is not correct. You guess right. * one minor too, but more definitely a bug: I have ...

Sounds good.

In fact every thread in every forum seems to now be readable only by registered members -- every single thread in every board that I've tried gives the same message; and registered status is, you know, behind a paywall. That randomly happens every so often yeah, it's probably not really worth keepi...

In trunk you don't need those includes, the default stuff is always included. Does your config change any colours after the includes? If so it probably clears and overwrites the defaults in the process.

what if GDD threads were less terrible

Or uh, just press c because you can always butcher with any weapon.

Complete list of all commits to trunk, complete list of all commits in the current trunk build on CDO, list of resolved Mantis reports. They're automatically generated by committing the commit/rebuilding trunk/resolving the report respectively.

Yes, if you wait for ridiculous amounts of time then (more) out-of-depth monsters start spawning.

Sandman25 wrote:Stab damage is random, it's still possible to cause 30 damage with stabbing 27 and +9 Sabre if you are unlucky to roll 1 as base damage

I can't really be bothered to go and check but I'm almost certain this is completely made-up.

There are rings of see invisible at the top and bottom, it's easy to pick one of them up before the spawns really ramp up (play Warper for an extra scroll of blinking to make it even easier). Pure melee is fine, learn which enemies it's safe to stand next to, keep hitting things to heal. Ghoul for t...

Yes... you just keep the same proportion of current HP/max HP.

If you want to see why this doesn't work, try producing the Ring of Vitality (an unrandart which is currently the only source of extra hp) and fiddling with it. It's pretty hard to tell what it'll do when you put it on or take it off. I don't know about you but I don't usually have too much difficu...

Sandman25 wrote:Both. It determines duration which is decreased by monster attributes. If the final duration is positive, the monster is put to sleep.

No, power just affects success rate.

Temporal Distortion is 3-5 turns, Step from Time duration depends on piety and invocations skill (10 * invocations * piety / 100). Temporal Distortion also just runs monsters and clouds (and some other minor things), Step from Time does extra stuff to simulate you being away from the level for so lo...

I would go out on a limb and say that when you're in a situation where you're about to die and you can't use your only source of healing because of a spell you have active, and all the advice on how to survive the situation involves "cancel that spell that you have active so that you can actual...

Well most of those things aren't very useful, whereas low HP is a thing that actually matters.

That sounds unlikely considering that there is only one staircase out of branches now.

See the read me post, threads with a million ideas with no real thought behind them are not really a good thing.

(Also there are various options you can set to automatically sacrifice corpses in various ways, with prompts or just when you start exploring and so on).
