Comp 198

[Philip]

So, just out of curiosity, if I wear an amulet of teleportation am I supposed to just commit suicide? Also, when you step into a non-existent shop the game crashes. Also, the game has squelched two scroll of Remove Curse while I am wearing a cursed item. This is not how squelch should work.
EDIT: Just figured how curses work. Also, I hate everything.

[t4nk]

Nah, just keep trying to remove it (and it will be teleporting you in the process, which can actually be pretty useful before you get some staffs of teleportation).
I didn't notice any nonexistent shops... what are they?

One thing that is not obvious and important is that you can restore drained stats/exp in home (press 'R'). It costs 10000 gold.

[Philip]

Ooh, restores are convenient. I suppose there's a manual with this stuff. I'm pretty lazy though.

Normal remove curse only removes the light curse, not the heavy curse. You need *REMOVE CURSE* to fully uncurse the seriously cursed items. So if the item says "singly cursed" a simple remove curse won't help. The other possible explanation is that you disabled the unsquelch_useful_flavors option.

The amulet of teleportation is the most unbalancing change I made in the player's favor. I was trying to make sticky curse interesting, didn't quite get that right.

Sorry about the crash, but what is a non-existent shop? I have no idea what change I might have made that would be relevant to this.

[Philip]

I don't actually think it's your fault. I distinctly remember old V also not liking attempting to enter a shop when you're nowhere near it. It was me trying to enter '5' while bouncing around, and it teleported me before processing my move. Also can happen with word of recall.

[Philip]

Died, and now I can't find my dump. I've checked every file in /lib.

Dumps go into ~/.angband/Angband. Don't ask me why. Just another thing I left alone.

[Philip]

Thanks.

Anyway, probably going to be giving the competition another shot tomorrow or the day after. Not really fond of Paladins personally, much prefer Priests. Gonna try one of those and a Mage after the comp, to see what you've done with spells.

I suppose that refers to pressing "_" when you're not standing on a shop tile.

[Philip]

Well, not only pressing that, but also walking towards a shop and being teleported before you enter it. It parses that similarly, and is far more likely to happen.

That explains why I never saw the bug. I test all jewelry in the dungeon, and doubt I have ever wielded a teleport item in town.

No luck in compiling this. The error was

As you may have guessed, this is on OS X. More precisely,

Not sure if this is a Mac thing, a clang thing, or an interaction between the two.

I would disable the x11 build and just do GCU.

Did you unzip the savefile?

Can you start a new game with no savefile, save, and then load the initial save?
