Sil 1.0.1

Another roguelike / angband-like keyset bug: I can't dig. I use CTRL-h to dig to the left and it says "type ? for help". It says the same thing when I use +.
You use CTRL-direction as alter grid, but you also use CTRL-direction for underlying key commands in the roguelike set, so which is it? I'm guessing this messing some things up.

I can't find anything in the pref file for 'alter grid' to fix this.

EDIT: Okay, I figured something out. I added this near the end of pref.prf:

#alter grid
A:/4
C:3:^h
A:/4
C:1:^h
A:/2
C:3:^j
A:/2
C:1:^j
A:/6
C:3:^l
A:/6
C:1:^l
#^k is destroy item
A:/8
C:3:^y
A:/8
C:1:^y

You probably won't want to use ^y to dig north when you fix this for a release version.
I think the best thing would be to reassign the underlying commands for the roguelike keyset instead of using CTRL to get the underlying command. Then you can use CTRL-direction to alter grids.

This is not really important, but I almost always take Charge as my first ability. It still occasionally surprises me that I can charge monsters when I'm sneaking or otherwise Slowed. Isn't that a bit weird?

Making Charge only work at normal or faster speeds could also make Assassination a teeny smidge more useful/situational

I've just equipped a latern of shadows, but it still gives me 2 radius of light - though it seems to flicker a bit. Is it that bad? Not sure whether I should take curse breaking or just plough on - there is a staff that breaks curses isn't there (how deep do you find that?).

Ha! Went down the stairs and found my first staff of the game - sanctity!

The command for 'alter' in the Sil keyset is (/). In the angband-like keyset it should be (+). You are right that at the moment users of hjkl keys need to hit (/) then direction instead of Control with direction, but I didn't think this was a big issue. A bigger issue is moving the keyset around since Sil supports *4* keysets (twice as many as Angband) this means I'd have to move things to keys that aren't used in either Sil or Angband. I could probably do so, but it didn't seem obvious that this was superior.

I just one hit-killed Gorgol.
33 damage. A 1d9, 1.7lb spear with +1 damage from strength and +2 from optional dual-wield, plus -1 critical threshold from finesse.

And then I found recharging and identification staves on dlvls 50-200'!

congratulations!

On the ladder, the current depth column is labeled as max depth. That should probably be changed if possible.

Sure, done.

[Psi]

Sure, done.

Thanks pav!

bug: Thrown objects break way too easily (except when thrown at monsters...). I accidently threw a robe and it broke when it hit the wall. Later, I threw another item (a trumpet) and it broke when it didn't even hit anything.

Maybe a robe becomes a filthy rag, and the trumpet should break (it did hit the floor).

Why are you throwing things at stuff that isn't monsters?

I often throw things to move them, especially when my inventory is full.

[Narvius]

I never HAD a full inventory in Sil before xD (or any no-sell *band, for that matter.)
