One example was already brought up: movement. - Movement keys are close to each other because you use them all together and with one hand. Something you don't do (and don't need) with stat picking. - I (and I believe everybody else) always keep a hand on movement keys, so I don't need to search for...

I personally do not need any time to think about it. I know what I will choose long before level up. So I just close this "pop-up" and continue playing. This kind of actions rarely requires much attention. And if you always pick int, you probably wouldn't want the keys 'u' and 'o' doing so...

Here is even smoother variant of water: https://crawl.develz.org/mantis/view.php?id=6074

Raising a stat is fairly rare event. And it has pretty big impact. Why don't add the confirmation? We have confirmations on many events although it unnecessary if player keeps attention. But it has been made to exclude unwanted mistakes. This is exactly the same thing.

Are you really do not see the difference here?

I don't know if I am alone with this problem, but for me it is a bit troublesome that (S)trength and (D)exterity are using two keys next to each other. I am often hit the wrong one when it's dark, but now I missed it during a day. It's not critical, but annoying. Maybe S(t)rength can be used this wa...

I would prefer some "cooking" feature than plainly cutting off things like nausea or sickness, but I think I've read about cooking in ideas that will never be implemented. Anyway, if you want less distractions and annoyance it may be a good idea to get rid of hunger at all. You do not lose...

So this is the one who made all these mobs and uniques... I must say that some (if not most) of them are masterpieces. About the torches. I don't think that we need such big halos around them. But it (I mean halos) can be used successfully in 32x32 format and I used it already for every torch in mai...

Sometimes you get two bubbles connected to each other by a staircase, but not connected to anything else on the level. So not all staircases might be accessible. Orcs must be starving there. And in my case elves are starving as well. It looks quite buggy to me. Should I report it as such? Or devels...

Does the haste by spell stack with finesse? Some guys in chat said to me that it don't, so I didn't count it as usable.

I did now.
O:2 lacks both < and >. But I can't get to them from O:1 or O:3 either.

Tiber wrote:trying the hatches might also work.

Did they transport you randonly? Because I did tried every hatch marked with *.

And of course Oka lets you cast, which is incredibly useful. I don't see how. I am getting to a point where I will have some XP to spare. And I have little library in L:1. But I don't see any usefull low-level spells. And I can't possibly hope to raise magic skills high enough for the better ones. ...

Okawaru grants pretty sweet abilities and this is the main reason I follow him. But I surely was hoping for some usable gifts as well.
If this is standard situation with him, I think I'll prefer Trog next time.

I wonder why Okawaru is so cheap when it comes to gift giving? I am 15 lvl and I still use a spear of venom that I've found on D:3 or so. He gave me -3 cloak of something useless, +0 cap of nothing, two shields that I don't use at all, and so on. Basically I became a dumpster for some godly trash. B...

Hmm. I guess it's ok to hide some minor areas or even teasure rooms like this, but I'm not so sure about major branch entrance. I probably will get wand of digging eventually, but still.

I've explored every stair and hatch in orcish mines. And every cavern they lead in up to "done exploring". Still there is no elven halls entrance. Is it possible that it didn't spawn at all? Or is it possible that mines have no direct (without tele or dig) way to it? It is first time I see...

Strangely enough I like submerging enemies. It's nice change of pace. Especially outside of water branches.

If this brand would always knock back when it deals damage it would be absurdly overpowered against things that only attack in melee range (and is always bad against things with reaching and usually bad against things that have ranged attacks). Some save checks can be applied to mobs. And skill/sta...

Knockback don't need to work like trample. I.e. player's char can stay on the same place while knocking back mobs. He obviously shouldn't knockback "big" mobs. And I pretty sure that knockback attack shouldn't deal full dmg. But overall it must be fun having something like this.

One do not exclude another, but I'd like to see minimap as viable and mouse-friendly alternative to map-mode. Because for me personally it would be more handy.

Instead of a separate button, how about cycling first through the stairs, then through the hatches, with the same button? How do you see this? It will require some additional button-pushing instead of simple cursor-hovering. I think separate icon(s) for hatches may be too much (because we will need...

I complain about map being too bright, so it's ok for me to use grey )
And I really think that it's much more comfortable to read grey text over black background, than white.

Galefury wrote:I think a bit more contrast would be good, the floor looks very dark in your mockup.

It's actually more contrast than it was before. 40 to 20 instead of 75 to 50.
It looks too dark because of bright forum interface. Try to look at this picture on black background and you'll see the difference.

Is there a way to tell from that map how many up-stairs and down-stairs have been discovered, and how many of them have been explored? This is very easy on console, and I can't figure out a way to do it in webtiles without scrolling all over and writing things down. If the map is being reworked, a ...

BlackSheep wrote:The new Legend would be a nice to have, but I don't know if I'd want to use it to travel.

Not every PoI need autotravel, obviously. But with stairs you may want to use it. At least I would use it a lot.

All info is in attachment.
I felt like it's easier to present this way.

wolloloo wrote:(Hm, how do you get images without scrollbars?)

Instead of attaching it, use link with img tags. Image should be hosted somewhere for it.

Very good hints by cerebovssquire here. I've just quadrupled my best score. Still I've died stupidly, thinking I am a god, while trying to grab swamp rune. But it's a big improvement nonetheless.

I've created new topic for this. Any changes in init.txt just won't work. I mean ANY.

I've tried tile_font_stat_size=10 in 0.10.3 version of Crawl, and it work. But it also decreases horizontal space taken by menus, so there is even less of them staying on screen.

It won't work. I play 0.11-a0-3198 now, and although it says that it uses my settings/init.txt, the changes in it do not apply. For example lines like: tile_font_stat_size = 10 fire_order = handaxe, javelin, dart tile_layout_priority = minimap, gold_turn, command, monster, spell, inventory which wor...

Tried:

Code:: fire_order = handaxe, javelin, dart

Still darts go after the handaxe.

Basically the problem is that I don't get ANY changes. I guess I am doing something wrong with the file (or use wrong file at all). This line in init.txt: fire_order = inscribed, return / handaxe / spear / dagger / club, net / launcher, rock, javelin, dart as some one in chat said, have to force the...

galehar wrote:Try tile_font_stat_size. It's also planned to make the area more configurable, or at least have a setting for a minimalistic stat area.

What file I need to edit?
Changes won't kick in when I edit init.txt.
And there is no tiles_options.txt anymore.

pratamawirya wrote:2. You wouldn't need to re-equip it many times, unless you're also using ranged weapons.

Good think is that you don't need to unequip main weapon to throw something. And throwing some heavy stuff 'of returning' can work wonders.
But I'm not sure if you can cut off chunks with a glaive... Can you?

Don't you, guys, troubled by it? Let's say you have pile of regular darts and couple of enchanted hand axes. I bet you would want to throw this axes first to maximize the damage. But somehow they are always messed up. I mean one axe, that I quivered, will be on top, but another one will be replaced ...

For me decreasing the gap between the menu bars would solve the problem. I got everything I need on 1280x800 except for monsters menu. And I really miss it. Although fully customizable menus would be awesome. Hmm. I got a question now: is it possible to make a font of stats in upper right corner lit...

I get it that you need to be full to wear it. But I also assume that it will drop any time you become less than full. So how do you fix this? Even with amulet of gourmand you will sometimes lose the 'full' status. And you can't possibly count on permafood, because no way you'll find enough of it. So...

...god gives me anti-magic bardiche right before elven halls.

Thanks. Now I'll skip it for sure because I've found an artifact pearl dragon armor in another shop. Although it unidentified and cost 3k, I think a will save some gold for it.

I am playing MiFi with polearm specialty, and I've found this artifact for sale: +2, +10 spear of the Botono {reap, Noisy, rPois, rN+, -3hp} Although I already have a sweet glaive, I am wondering about this 'reap' ability. I think it can be useful in some situations, but how does it work really? - D...

Deimos wrote:Is that a viable tactic?

Maybe with strong chars like MiFi. But even then you take unnecessary risks with very little profit. I doubt I will use it ever again. Unless I will play a fast and/or stealthy build like CeHu or SpAs, in which case sprint to a temple can be profitable with little risk.

Good opportunity to be the first one. Even if it's weird, so what, still he will be famous for carrying the most ammo physically possible

Funny thing. I've taken a hint of finding a temple as soon, as possible. It's reasonable really. Why do I let all this corpses to rot if I can sacrifice them to Okawaru. Anyway, I've run straight to D:4. But have found a temple entrance on the last (literally) unexplored piece of on D:7. Entered it ...

I am trying to specify the order in which my throwables are being quivered/fired.

I'm a simple man, so I just love it when I identify potion of cure mutation AFTER I identifyed potion of mutation. By quaffing.

I don't think that this idea sould be taken as whole, but some parts of it seems very appealing. Major piety losses after tele or blink from battle and little bonuses while fighting multiple opponents can be nice addition to this religion. Another thing I'd like to say about gods is that they drop t...

Dammit to hell! 71dmg by titanic slime. How can I anticipate this?..
Lost my best char to this thing. And he was so young...

Although my axe was really good

Congrats with first win.

Back to this topic. I got +6,+4 executioner's axe of freezing and +4,+4 dwarven battleaxe of flaming. First has bigger dmg rating, but second has 'dwarven' prefix. Which is better? Another very promising DDBe is still alive and I wondering what brand should I really look for to be my end-game weapon...
