What do you think about giving felids an ability to craft jewelry? Each player could tune them to their play-style and to the needs. That is the best idea in the entire thread. (perhaps tweaks like aptitude adjustments, mutations) I like where you're going with that... and also a third ring or seco...

Wow, I've never seen their eyes and teeth before.

without the onerous registration system that the chaosforge wiki uses I don't get why people take issue with the registration system there. It takes all of like, a day or two for someone to activate your account. At least, that was my experience. Mine, too. And it is certainly easy to edit. But if ...

Didn't Aule update the card page on the wiki? e: maybe that was just the decks? The decks and some of the cards. In fact, I created a page for every card (I'd hoped), revamped the decks topic, created a cards topic, tied them all together through linked tables, and revised the existing individual d...

PF: All of this is true. Couldn't we just (ask players to) slowly migrate good content from chaos wiki to dev wiki, and rename the latter? It's a pity that wiki editing is so hard... completely defeats the purpose :( You're talking about this wiki ? I did not know migrating to this was a feasible o...

You are gonna hate me but I can't help myself: You are too injured to fight recklessly! You shouldn't tab against the first enemy on a FeWz, even if it is a bat. You could have probably eliminated about 30% of that bat's hits against you if you backed away, and only attacked when it was next to you...

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.15.2 (webtiles) character file. 5 Aule the Magician (level 1, 0/7 HPs) Began as a Felid Wizard on Dec 9, 2014.

CrawlWiki really crawling these past couple days. The host site's other areas are not. The paranoiac in me says this is possibly a DoS attack by wiki-haters. The rationalist in me says it's likely not. Who is right? Either way, should someone read this who can do something about it, please fix, than...

Thank you, and I understand, but there is a significant difference in the rendering of that scaling between versions where there is no external change in platform, resolution or environment. It's clearly a source issue, and Tedronai indicated a clue as to where it likely lies.

You could build a version... I could try to build one, after installing, making and testing the development build process for this software on my own without prior experience with the whole of it, or its retinue of contribs, or even the very compiler used. Accessing the git repo, which is all I hav...

Scaling? I dunno. Tried tweaking the settings in rc to do something about this, but to no avail. I get these two differences between versions, also. (I really want to play trunk, but these aesthetic concerns are deterring me.) Look at the hp/mp bars: ____0.15____ ____0.16____ http://i60.tinypic.com/...

That does the trick! The two versions of graphics are now equivalent. One needs the setting turned on; the other doesn't, but they look the same, now. Thanks a bunch.

I'm at 1280x1024 using Firefox 25. But why would it scale one wrong and not the other with both having identical resolutions and broswers? Full screen looks the same, only more of it. :lol: Edit: Just checked, and the images in Chrome on the same computer look the same as above, for each respective ...

Is this local or webtiles? It's webtiles, both at identical resolutions in the same browser, just different tabs. There's no antialiasing in the game, although what you're seeing is a lack of filtered (typically bilinear) downscaling because for some reason the game isn't rendering the tiles in the...

In 0.15, the graphics look more smooth:

In 0.16, the edge pixels are visible.

Was something involved with antialiasing removed?

Is that right? Learndb says: Prompts you to wield a weapon, and summons an illusion of you (like Mara's) that wields your weapon and has a limited spell list based on yours. In 0.15, I seem to remember that it prompted to wield a weapon. The only code difference between the 0.15 and 0.16 routines f...

That has to be a crazy build to play. Keep posting...

Here. Very impressive! Thanks for the nice review! (and the link - D'oh!) e: it looks like there's only 0.16 information for the newly added cards? No excuses. I probably left gaping holes all over the place in the blue haze of gettin-r-done. Please, if you see anything you could add, then do, if y...

Completed.

I thought so at first, too, but there's no way around it given the continuing shuffling of these decks. Though the cards themselves are not items, they are virtually so, being selectively manipulated for particular effects, with some being changed, others being removed, and still more being added. I...

Thanks to all for the input and corrections.] I'm in the process of completely overhauling the wiki with respect to decks and car...

Thanks.

Do not trust the learndb with card effects, many of the card entries have not been updated since the Nemelex changes. I do not know if the wiki is any better. The in-game description of the cards should be good though. Yes, you might want more information than what the in-game description gives you...

Isn't that like totally cheating? How could anything have a chance of hitting you with +89 EV?, and what could stand long before +41 slaying? Claiming victory when you admit to exploiting a bug is just silly. And you waited to update, knowing it was a bug! That makes it super-silly. Keep trying to g...

Aw, I'm sure you have't tried over fifty times, yet.

Felid looks like it's going to be even harder. This may take another hundred games. :lol:

One win about every hundred game is a far cry from doing good, but at least now I'm convinced it's possible. :lol:

Here I also add for clarity, not counterargument or anything provocative. A postmortem of this tension that seems to surround my interactions here. Care to comment on the substance and purpose of the proposal(s) so that maybe better details can come forth? This appears to be soliciting and encouragi...

I think there are, to some extend, two different debates here: are mutations in extended a problem, and is this spell a solution to them? i think there is room for some debate on the first topic - at the very least, they can probably be improved - although they're definitely much less of a problem ...

@and into: Thanks for your point of view, here. It is difficult if not impossible to divine the intentions of a poster through text, so this can easily lead to misunderstanding or misplaced judgment.

Never said it was a democracy. Is a dev also all devs? Mainly looking at the impetus for change, now, not the details of it.

All right. The reaction tally is four negative, four neutral, and one positive. If this trend is indicative of the final tally, one must conclude the proposal in either form as dead. Nevertheless, it has been less than 24 hours since the OP was made, so whether or not the instant results provide an ...

Aule, this idea is bad and you are ignoring various people stating it is bad and explaining why it is bad. How can I be ignoring anyone when I am replying to everyone, openly without dismissal? That's a strange attitude to take. I haven't argued that the idea is not bad, but only that there is an i...

there is no fun at all available in the mutation game for most characters in extended. Some people might consider playing with a handicap (a bad mutation) and/or avoiding being mutated fun and challenging. While it isn't a fundamental problem with the idea, the current design rewards spoiler use to...

Since this is expressly designed as an out-of-combat spell I would suggest instead designing it as something that is not a spell. That fixes the problems inherent with out-of-combat spells.

#1: Grinding up to be able to cast a level 9, dual-skill spell is something that should radically alter your game.

Not a dislike, just not had the opportunity to test drive it. By the time it became available to this character, he was already well-established and nearly invincible, close to the end of the game. (I also had a real issue with amnesia scrolls until the first zig, which was quite annoying.) You can ...

Just to clarify a a few points you raised: Using gold to limit the use of a strategic spell is an interesting idea. Borrowed the idea from certain cards in decks, notably the Alchemist card. -There's no reason to cast this spell in a fight so there's no reason for it to have negative effects like pa...

Don’t get me wrong; I don't mind being wrong, because that is the natural state of my existence.

Oh, yes, that and its obligatory reflexive thanks from a fellow attacker is also not attacking. It's all very reasonable and unbiased. And I r dum to.

To be completely fair, posts attacking my posts are also not on topic. At all. So this won't be, either. If you don't like something I say, or even if you just don't like anything I say, then why don't you just ignore it/me? Why do you insist upon make the topic about the inconsequentiality of my th...
