So remove curse and detect curse are redundant? That’s like saying that armor and healing are redundant. One prevents damage, the other removes it. They do NOT seem redundant to me, at all.

Thank you!

Scrolls of detect curse were not redundant, because they allowed you to conserve scrolls of remove curse. Which become important when fighting mummies.

IMHO the elven halls should be restored to thier full length. It is an important place to find a high quality piece of armour/weapon for the later branches.

Yeah but detect curse solves a very different problem, that being, checking stuff before it becomes a problem. If you’re going to remove detect curse why not merge the two and make remove curse also detect?

I’d frankly rather have both because I like preventing problems from happening in the first place. At least give us some other way to detect curses.

Scrolls of detect curse were redundant because scrolls of remove curse solves the curse problem. In general the developers don’t like redundancies, inefficiencies, and weak effects, and that’s why detect curse gets the axe. That is why the school of Divination is gone too. Scrolls of detect curse are simply unnecessary baggage, look at it that way. One would much rather get a scroll of remove curse than detect curse.

Scroll of detect curse removed ?? This is a “wtf” for me. Dev team does a lot of great stuff, but sometimes I really wonder what they are smoking. Just like the hate armor and armor skill got in 0.6 and 0.7. At least bog mummies are gone again. There is a difference between annoying and repetitive….

Davidos: I believe that ?detectcurse was removed to prevent people from grabbing every runed robe from orc and elf to find one with resistance or archmagi.

Uh. The changelog says scrolls of detect curse were removed. What.

Hehee nice. Thankee for this release. You’re all doing the best. Keep up the good works.

Two thumbs up.

Please, can we have a Mac build!

Complete awesomeness. The curb on Nemelex Xobeh’s Summoning decks was needed, although draw four is a pleasant surprise. I highly recommend NX for fighters or priests of any race with an Evo modifier of 0 or better. Nice for Ogres. Maybe even Trolls?! Trolls can’t do anything well anyway.

Hats off to the Dev team!

When is the Mac version coming?

For us spectators, it would be nifty to have god interactions broadcasted to the chat. Right?

galefury: Awesome, thanks for info. I really hope this feature will be in the next stable release ‘coz for me that’s one thing that crawl needs to achieve perfection.

SuperTaster: afaik permacasting is planned, but not at the top of anyone’s to-do list. But I may be wrong.

Having a hobgoblin in D:2 using a ring of invisibility (a wtf moment) is what this game missed

From anyone in the know, what’s the status on Permacasting enchantments? On its way? Not gonna happen? Floating about as an interesting idea without substance?

Downloading it right now! :)

cedor: Currently that’s not possible, but it’s easy to just copy the contents from https://gitorious.org/crawl/crawl/blobs/stone_soup-0.11/crawl-ref/settings/init.txt and paste them into your rc file.

Will you give us a way to regenerate a default version of the option file on webtiles? (To avoid old config conflict)

By: galefury

galefury — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 10:32:23 +0000

Annonith: there is an option to scale the tiles in trunk. It just didn’t make it into 0.11. :(

By: Andrew

Andrew — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 09:16:54 +0000

Yay!

By: Roderic

Roderic — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 08:40:56 +0000

Hooray ! At last!

By: Annonith

Annonith — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 05:53:36 +0000

Thanks for the new release. It’s all good and fine (maybe besides shortening the Elven Halls – I love murdering elves >:( ) but…
Still no option to re-size tiles? It’s a real eyestrain on higher resolutions.
*sigh* Someday, someday…

You guys are awesome… I hadn’t played for a few months and coming back and seeing the changes is amazing :)

Excellent, and I only saved 43743 bytes when I ran the tiles through PNGOUT. :) Seriously, though, the tiles get better and better every new release!

By: Styro

Sounds like some great changes. I especially like that some of the tedious branches have been shortened. Thanks for all your hard work!

Always great to see a new version out :) and less summoning from nemelex sounds pretty good!
