The problem here is that accuracy has diminishing returns. You can have a 95% hit rate and a ton of accuracy would only get you to a 97% hit rate. Meanwhile damage is linear (you can have +150% damage or even +200% damage for example) so damage always turns out to be better than accuracy. The only w...

Monsters, spells, clouds, and so on shouldn't interact with floor items. Jellies are already interesting enough with their acid attacks and having monsters pick up items doesn't add anything to the game except for tedious stashing and pickup exclusions in vaults. Also Orc Jesus could just gift your ...

The rotting from hunger could be completely removed if it's found to be annoying... though I doubt it will be. You could play perfectly fine with using berserk or high level spells sparingly... you know, as if you were a spriggan or something. Just instead of chomping down on that pile if 20 rations...

The rot is based on the would be hunger you would take for things like spells or god abilities (including berserk). If your spells are hungerless they don't rot you. You can cure rot with potions and such. The rotting rate can be increased or decreased to be balanced... but I was thing along the lin...

I wanted a species that plays much differently than any other. 1. They have human like HP and MP. The minus-HP-plus-gimmick species were fun at first but now they're just getting ridiculous. 2. They're made of water. This means when they berserk their water boils instead of their blood. Yes they can...

I prefer Kobolds because they're cooler.

I will only ever be happy with buffs when I don't have to cast them before fights... and especially not before fights while standing on stairs. This goes for haste, repel missiles, forms, etc. Why not just have deflect missiles last forever, but cost MP every time a missile is deflected? Haste last ...

It is sort of lame that nagas spit poison sucks after a few floors. It would be nice if it grew stronger as you leveled or you could train it with a skill. Tengu should get perma flight from turn 0. It is one of the weakest species because summoning sucks now and the reaver thing never worked. Octop...

Now to just get these patches in the actual game...

Make fatal poison red and nonfatal poison yellow. You cant rest with fatal poison like starving but resting with yellow poison doesnt keep stopping you.

Also maybe add a sleep action that makes you rest with regen but things dont wake you up unless they hit you and then you take extra damage

To explain more, some people hate autoexplore because it's jarring, you have to look around: where am i? Same thing here, it's not fun.

Is the god unique? Yes. Is it fun? For the most part yes. Shadow step is annoying to use and jarring because your placement is hard to predict. If the piety cost was removed and the placement was more deterministic people might actually use it.

Are people really giving up all the other gods just for a stealth boost...? Other than to just try out the god, which combinations would this god be the best god for? Any stabber would want a backup plan when stabbing isn't reasonable, not a second stabbing enabler. If you are holding down tab then ...

I've tried the new god and I'm not really impressed. I tend to compare all gods to Trog. Why should I pick this god over Trog? First, I don't get why the invisibility ability isn't just plain old invisibility. It's kind of like if a god gave you a levitation ability when there's a flight spell and f...

It's possible to have it only butcher after exploring with ch_stop_running(). The issue is, though, if you're standing on a corpse when you press "o." To avoid using macros (since I've found 90% of people won't touch a script that involves setting a macro because it's too much effort) I'd ...

This shouldn't be an issue. If it's not working then Crawl can't find your init file and you could just create one in the same folder as crawl.exe.

It works fine with auto_sacrifice and eating doesn't stop exploration. Specifically, you sacrifice the corpses if you can't eat their chunks at the moment. If you step over a corpse, and don't do anything with it, and get hungry, you will backtrack and grab it. ready() is a lua hook. Crawl calls it ...

I've modified the script so it now works when you start exploring on a corpse. Previously, it only butchered once you stopped exploring on a corpse and not when you started exploring on a corpse.

Oh, it's working for you now? Yes, butchering is done while exploring (with the "o" key).

MrPlanck, there might be an issue with my script. I'm trying to figure out what it could be though. It works perfectly fine for me and Sandman25....

BlackSheep, can you post your RC file? I'm curious if there's some interaction that I didn't think of.

MrPlanck wrote:I tried it. All it seems to do is mark corpses for pickup.

What version of Crawl are you running?

You might have another init.txt somewhere and Crawl is finding that one instead.
Try having init.txt in the same folder as crawl.exe instead of in the settings folder.

This script will automatically butcher corpses and eat chunks for you! Just copy this into your RC file and it works! There's NO NEED to fumble around with macros or anything like that. It works with every species: spriggans, mummies, trolls, hill orcs, and more! Just copy it, paste it, and forget i...

I've had one unfair drowning death (my flight expired at the same time as deep water rushed under me in Shoals) but I think that's been fixed now. Other than that it's been pretty easy to avoid. I think it might be good for drowning to go the same way as instant stat-death though, simply because in...

Also I'd like to suggest that flight is removed from tornado.

Flight is meant to be a tool used to get over water. Tornado's flight just randomly kills you when you fail to notice that you just got trampled.

You wash up on the last tile of shallow water or dry land that you visited. Alternatively, you could wash up on the closest tile of shallow water or dry land. Isn't that much obvious?

Drowning deaths, 99.99% of the time, are ridiculously unfair instant kills. Can drowning just be removed? The game could just remember where you first went over deep water and move you there. The same goes for lava (though I suppose you could take some minor damage if you don't have rf+). Dungeon Cr...

Necromutation is my favorite spell.

So a similar effect can be added to might. Pass out 100% of the time or something.

In movies swords tend to be a defensive weapon: deflecting bullets, blocking attacks, and such. Like spears and axes swords really should have a specialness to them. I say either allow them to passively deflect attacks, like sheilds, and even give some the reflect brand, or simply give them all the ...

How can you laugh at evocable might and not berserk? Anyway, there's weakness following it. It could be nerfed even more if needd too: it's only a proposal.

I honestly feel branded ammo should be removed. Branded launchers are good enough. Actually all ammo should be removed... meleeing rats to save ammo isn't fun or interesting at all. Honest question: why does ammo exist? Is weapon swapping for popcorn intentional? Why? What does mindlessly swapping y...

Fedhas should give invocable Treeform. I feel this would make him a bit more useful and popular. At the moment I don't see any reason to choose Fedhas over the other gods.

So... we should remove invisibility from enchanters?

In Crawl assassins don't do assassinating and enchanters don't do enchanting. The background names are vastly misleading... and to play as an assassin as the rest of the world knows it you have to start as an enchanter or find a form of invisibility. Why does another background, who's supposed to be...

It makes little sense that many backgrounds start with books but only one starts with evocables. I propose that assassins start with cloak of invisibility instead of needles. The cloak is no more powerful than any of the starting books and honestly right now playing an assassin like an assassin is l...

I hate to say this but you're just working around a problem instead of fixing it.
This is just like auto sacrifice: instead of removing blood sacrifices they automated it.

So here's what I'm thinking: 1. I'd like to see fire weapons be interesting and viable throughout the game. 2. I'd also like to see some tabbers choose lighter armour instead of heavier armour. Why not hit two birds with one stone? 1. Fire weapons have a passive chance to cast a fire spell when they...

I get the argument for item destruction. Give the player a choice: you choose between having more consumables over the course of the game or more consumables on you at any given time. However this argument only applies to a small subset of consumables: the others just aren't useful to carry in large...

At this point it's just ridiculous that item destruction isn't gone yet. How long will this waiting game last?

Trog allows spells too though. Actually, they're the best spells in the game! For example, the "spear to the face" spell does damage and has range comparable to crystal spear, costs way less, and you can even cast it in gold dragon armor. If you're talking about things like regeneration an...

Right now Oka is just a weaker Trog. His gifts are worse and his abilities are worse.

I like the idea of Oka improving your existing gear. It would be cool if heroism and finesse were removed entirely his abilities were replaced with abilities involving equipment.

Does the -rpois + stasis race HAVE to be a challenge race? At the very least their aptitudes could be buffed a little. Wins: 3xFoBe 2xFoFi 2xFoGl 1xFoAK 1xFoAM 1xFoAr 1xFoCK 1xFoFE 1xFoHe 1xFoIE 1xFoNe 1xFoTm 1xFoVM 1xFoWr Looking at that, I don't think it would hurt to buff their magical aptitudes ...

No. It's a feature request and I think it would fit demigods nicely. At the moment they don't feel godly at all.

I think it would be cool if demigods had no level cap so they can really start feeling godly.

You honestly think, that humans fail horribly at being jack of all trades compared to high elves (which may be on the chopping block BTW)?? Not compared to high elves specifically. High elves make better casters and Hill Orcs make better noncasters. Whatever you want to do can be done better with a...

Nice misquote. You left out the part where they fail horribly at being a jack of all trades compared to some other species though.

They feel like either really crappy high elves or really crappy hill orcs depending on if you learn spells or not. Humans have no niche at all... I mean I get that they're going for the jack of all trades thing but plenty of other species fill that niche and do it better: when it comes down to it hu...
