I don't get this idea that you're supposed to be able to sit alone in a dark dorm room staring at a terminal emulator and learn a moderately complex game well enough to win it purely through trial and error. Where else is this a realistic model for learning anything worthwhile? Eh, that's how I lea...

You probably want char_set = ascii I still advice getting a SSH client which can handle unicode characters. That's not the problem (or they wouldn't show up as arches/clubs at all). The problem is that, in his font, those are double-width glyphs. Crawl has no way of knowing that, though: libc claim...

The scoring script got stuck again. It's running through the past three days' updates now.

One implementation detail would be figuring out what to do about the m screen hotkeys when toggling * mode. Should the default * mode skip some letters so that the hotkeys will stay the same when switching to show-all; or should the hotkeys change when toggling *. There is also the case where you ha...

This thread inspired me to make a branch " city-connection ", where you paint the floor tiles you step on. Travel/explore doesn't prefer painted tiles but should---that probably wouldn't be terrible to implement. No builds or online experimental branch because it's silly, but you can compi...

Also, that should be backtick (`). Tilde (~) is for editing macros but maybe we'll make that a clua console at some point since macros are also on ctrl-d (or vice versa)

I am in favour of an implementable. We have a wizmode-only way to disable confirmations, but there is no granularity and it misses some things. If you search for DIS_CONFIRMATIONS that will at least give you a place to start. I think this information (which things are disabled) should be stored in O...

You can play something on a different channel without cancelling the current TV: !lm perunasaurus rune=slimy 42 -tv:<T46800:>T47899:x4:channel=RuTV It will be assigned a different letter (starting with c) at the termcast.develz.org front screen. The channel will go away after something like 90 secon...

Thanks Neil. For future reference, if I suspect a bug should I just post it to Mantis even if it turns out to be working as designed? The worst that happens is that we close it as "not a bug" and move on. I mean, use common sense of course: "mummy start is too hard" wouldn't be ...

Ignoring rElec is fixed in trunk, thanks! For future reference, bug reports (and that part was definitely a bug) should in general go on Mantis.

Not sure about the second part, bringing it up in ##crawl-dev.

Should be

Code:: tile_display_mode = glyphs

with singular "tile". You might also try "hybrid" instead of "glyphs"; hybrid includes the glyphs but also icons for things like monster friendliness, stair visitation, etc.

Hi! My name is Alex and I'm a developer ;) I'm want to join the team of roguelike project as a web developer to write custom server and integrate game with it. Greetings, Alex!

Thank you, neil. There is just the small problem that I am getting this: Level file is invalid. Minor version mismatch: 125 (want <= 124). The save is from a newer version. Which prevents me from playing anyway. Is it possible to fix this new problem? Do you still get that now that CDO has updated?...

Thanks everyone!

I made a small tweak to your save and CDO admin Napkin replaced your save with the fixed version, so you should be able to continue your game now on CDO.

Is this online or local? If the online, which server (and can you connect with ssh to take a save backup, (A)dvanced -> (B)ackup -> (N)ormal then copy the URL and post here)? If local, can you upload your save somewhere?

I fixed the vault so it won't happen again. In general if you fly or controlled blink into a closet it is your own responsibility to find a way out; however, this could also have trapped people who randomly teleported, and we try to avoid that.

Okay (also in the pickup menu).

It doesn't currently show how many you will be left with: you'll have to do that arithmetic yourself.

Insead of is_cursed() you want cursed(). is_cursed() is dlua-only because it tells you about unidentified curses. I'm not sure why base_type() is dlua-only, but clua has a similar .class(). It takes an optional boolean to indicate terse mode. In terse mode, the strings are *almost* what base_type re...

Curse Armour and Curse Jewellery already prevent casting when there are no cursables, so only Curse Weapon needs to be fixed. It wouldn't be quite the same implementation, though, since those two have item-selection menus where Curse Weapon does not. IMO the inconsistency with the other two curse sc...

Am I mistaken, or are potions of blood no longer automatically picked up after bottling? I seem to recall the ability only leaving them on the floor if there were monsters in sight, but now whenever I bottle a corpse, I have to manually (or through greedy auto-explore) pickup the resulting potions....

Any chance of getting some help with this? I sent a message to TZer0, administrator of crawl.lantea.net (which seems to be the server you're playing on). Account passwords aren't synced between the servers, so until he gets back to you, you can register with the same name and play on one of the oth...

Lugonites already can't gain piety in the Abyss, so that wouldn't even be a special case.

Removing them from early game is good when monsters use them, because I think they're too strong in monster hands. Oh Ijyb had a wand of fire, my fault for not immediately excluding him until I have 80+ hp. Oh this random orc has the ability to repeatedly hit me for 25+ damage from range. Being abl...

Would you mind filling out a bug report on Mantis? I don't know enough about Android to know what questions to ask or where crash logs might be, but someone else might.

checking the glyph sheet it looks like necromancers are light grey already, and that no human glyph uses dark grey. Light grey and white are very similar in console. Most terminals, in their preferences, let you independently set all 16 of the ANSI colours. In Putty it's under "Window" gr...

Would it make the entire game more fun if every monster had a small chance to do quadruple damage with no warning? Think of how cool it would be when a stone giant one hits your 150 HP character! That's hard and fun! Since now we're using hyperbole to argue for changes to the game: Would it make th...

In particular, look for the "Windows Zips" line at the downloads page on crawl.develz.org.

I'd also like to get rid of the "fat and ugly", as well as the similar text for Wiglaf (and ogres and orcs etc etc).

What kind of monster was it? I don't see anything that would produce a "charred corpse". There is no cooking in Crawl, even if you firestorm a rat.

Thanks much, that did the trick! For my own education, what does installing bison and flex do for this problem? Bison is a parser generator and flex a lexical analyzer generator (the GNU versions of yacc and lex, respectively). They take the parser specification in util/levcomp.ypp and the lexer sp...

Where "balance" means "don't train Armour at all"?

I think one problem here is that you can predict which square the snake will use to reach you.

(Not to say that SR working better at cardinal and 45-degree angles is great)

Should be back to normal now.

Permanently lost or 'lost until there's more disk space in the future'?

As far as I know, permanently; you'd have to ask Napkin.

Actually, it does, if you didn't know it was remove curse to begin with.
