Re: auto cast deflect missile when resting

I think there's a LUA script to do this but I'd love it as an rc setting. Something like cast_at_max_mp=spell1,spell2,spell3 and whenever you hit full MP it tries to cast each spell until one of them succeeds. That sounds like an EXCELLENT way to immediately miscast yourself to death after learning...

Re: Erolcha casting two spells in 8 auts, bug?

I probably had a buckler, not sure. However the 0.8 delay is not the mindelay of the weapon (it was a war axe of speed) but the delay that was printed next to the turncount after I attacked.

There already is an rcfile option that changes the default % of HP/MP the player must have before autoexploring : explore_auto_rest. If you want to keep both behaviour you can fiddle around with this setting in macros.
