Dammit, just found out I goofed big time with the summoning effect. When you play a summoner, all summons are friendly, not only player summons as it should be. Makes the game amusing (monsters summoning stuff that turns against them), but really unbalanced. I'll release a beta 3 tonight with the fix (it's just a matter of replacing monster_spell.txt in /lib/gamedata).

If I'm offline I'm probably in the middle of maintaining Gentoo or something-Linux or other.

Well I've ninja-fixed beta 2 instead of releasing a beta 3. Binaries now contain the fixed version of monster spells text file and monsters will summon hostile monsters again.PWMAngband variant maintainer - check https://github.com/draconisPW/PWMAngband (or http://www.mangband.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=9) to learn more about this new variant!Comment

I rather like the idea of summons being possibly hostile to the summoner, especially the more powerful they are. You'd have to make it so the summoner would turn hostile to its summons once they attacked...Comment

Good thing no PWMAngband comp has started yet... Just found another game breaking bug while playtesting: artifacts left behind on a level were not reset, so you couldn't find them again; basically, it was like playing with preserve off. This has now be fixed, and I'll update the binaries tonight with another quick fix. Since it's just a matter of replacing the exe file, I won't release a new beta for this one.PWMAngband variant maintainer - check https://github.com/draconisPW/PWMAngband (or http://www.mangband.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=9) to learn more about this new variant!Comment

Well it's fixed now. I decided to release a beta 3, since I had already updated the version locally. So now everything should be fine for some heavy summoning...PWMAngband variant maintainer - check https://github.com/draconisPW/PWMAngband (or http://www.mangband.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=9) to learn more about this new variant!Comment

Hi,
I've posted comp 182. PowerWyrm: If you have any objections to the win criteria, please let me know soon so that I can tell pav to customize the ladder accordingly.Glaurung, Father of the Dragons says, 'You cannot avoid the ballyhack.'Comment

Win criteria is ok, but looking at my 1.1.10 char dumps, it seems that the turncount used is the "Player" turncount, which in PWMAngband is the number of real turns awarded to a player, that is the number of times his energy bar is filled (think ATB). The player turncount is strongly affected by player speed and is equal to twice the game turncount for a player at 0 speed that is never running. A higher player speed increases the player turncount, since you can act more times per game turns. Each time you run, a factor 5 is applied to speed, which enormously increases the player turncount. It would maybe be better to use the "Game" turncount, which is basically the time elapsed and is not dependent on character speed. Otherwise, the winner would be the player that has the lowest speed and never used the run command.PWMAngband variant maintainer - check https://github.com/draconisPW/PWMAngband (or http://www.mangband.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=9) to learn more about this new variant!Comment

Has there been a Buddy the Christmas Elf competition? Just throwing an idea out there. Each competitor is free to pick any class, race must be half-elf (or wood elf) and minimum starting charisma (with race/class/personality bonuses) of 18. Could even leave it open to each competitor to choose a variant, maybe from a list or something.Comment

Ok another idea, how about a competition where the goal is to post the tombstone with the most negative hitpoints :-) fewest turns is the tiebreakerComment

We should make that an animeband competition: http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=18137Glaurung, Father of the Dragons says, 'You cannot avoid the ballyhack.'Comment
