Competition 156

[Philip]

This seems like a very bizarre bug and not one I've ever seen. What OS are you guys playing on?

I'm using XP. The problem appears a lot if I press keys in short succession. Replicating the bug will be easiest if you try to hold down a direction key.

It's pretty awful...oh well. Newbs won't even know to kill him for it, so they won't be easily tricked into wielding the magical weapon that's inferior to a 0/0 dagger.

Wow, after reading the story of Fatima by MattB, how could anyone not try out this competition? I loved it, Great story!!

Most kind, thank you.
I can only apologise to all for the utterly appalling Maggot drop.

same thing here. it's a very annoying problem that seems to only occur when i load this specific character. normally i use rogue_like_commands, but it seems that even disabling it doesn't help.

When I try to move I sometimes get a <direction?> prompt, which seems sort of superfluous. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it.

Ugh, killed at full health by a trapper because I forgot to re-swap FA on after "temporarily" swapping in boots of stability.

full ~450 to 0 with no actions able to be taken. Yay.

edit: still, a classic way to die, so my viewers got to see that and I had fun

!Experience on dlvl 25!!! 6 levels gained.

Dang... found out that you cannot recharge staves in shops with this version. The bug was fixed on the 3.5 release branch and not ported to master. Oh well, time to buy recharging scrolls...

Oh, it's a bug! I thought it was intended behaviour (that I didn't like).

[debo]

debo, do you want me to post on reddit.com/r/roguelikes?

omg yes please, I was just lamenting that I was going to have to have to visit reddit, I've still avoided it somehow after all these years!

I posted this on the crawl forums if it makes your life easier: https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/view...p?f=17&t=12081

Edit: Thanks krazyhades!

Hey fizzix I'm in the middle of writing such a post now while linking to my stream.

edit: also you should hang out with me here or elsewhere to compete!

Does it matter if it's 3.5 core release or one of the nightlies? I have started my comp character on a month-old nightly I think. I'll restart if there's a peep of protest, but I don't think there have been any substantive changes.

Edit: I just killed myself so I'll go and get the 3.5 core release now and head off any issues.

In the first 10 levels of the dungeon the RNG gave to me: A potion of Augmentation, the cloak 'Colannon' and boots of speed +6.
EDIT: Later I also Narthanc, Totila, boots of speed +2 (lucky and useless), light x-bow of extra shots, and Cambeleg for good measure. Shame about my turnwasting tendencies.
