    This is fixed in the latest build, fix by backwardsEric.

    There is also a change, suggested by Julian, so the keymap termination key is '=' instead of '$'. This is to allow the $ key to be used for future commands or keymaps, where the = kay is already a command and unlikely to be used in keymaps. Apologies to all the people who had a keymap for changing their hitpoint warning or whatever

      Is there any reason that rods of Magic Mapping had their success rates nerfed?

      I mean, it's a utility spell. I don't use it much in battle. I just have to keep hitting n 10 times in a row (33% - sure it is...)

      It's really just an annoyance.

        No. It should be depth 30 with initial frequency 0 to make it easier.

          There was a long discussion about the change that led to this in this development thread and this issue.

          This is not the first complaint there's been, we may need to tweak parameters.

            Well, it is an opinion thing yeah. Personally, I feel that level should play a bigger role than race/class. I am lacking in my lore to give good examples I guess, but in the line of thinking for example that an epic level warrior is so experienced that yes, he can activate magic items. Whereas a newb mage's only skills are in activating stuff and casting a single spell.

            Total skill (class*level+race) would be more the bonus effects, while level modified with class would be the activate chance (level+class+race). In order of importance.

              Bug?

              Hello,

              I don't really use github not sure if bug anyway. A few things I've never seen before and not listed as new features/changes.

              Recently had a new level which was peculiar in how long it took to create.

              Then it was a cave level that had a simple vault in it, but the vault would not be revealed by a magic map.

              I've attached screenshot. I was coming from the left side of screen, as I hit the vault I did a magic map and everything to the right showed up, but not the vault. Also attached screen after clearing vault.

              edit - fyi, compiled (which I've done many times) for raspberry pi

                This is a new, rare type of level ("gauntlet") first introduced in 4.2.1. It features two caverns joined by a labyrinth section, with the special conditions that
                • The player always arrives on the left cavern, and the only downstairs are on the right;
                • The centre labyrinth portion (the gauntlet) is not mappable;
                • You cannot teleport from either the left cavern or the gauntlet (although you seem to have teleported from the left cavern - so maybe a bug there).
                So far this is the only use of unmappable areas and no teleport areas; there is no use of no ESP areas yet.
                (at least 10 characters of text needed)

                  change to keymaping?

                  Thanks for info on map design not being a bug.

                  Noticed another change that has caused me a bit of a problem. I use roguekeys. When I hit 'x' to examine, all the navigation keys work to move around map at objects, except 'k' which seems to be working non-rogue like as 'ignore'. Pretty sure that's not how it worked before.

                      Thanks for reporting that. It should be fixed in the post 4.2.3 builds (another report is here, https://github.com/angband/angband/issues/4973 , and the intended fix is here, https://github.com/angband/angband/pull/4977 ).

                      That, I believe, has also been implemented in the post 4.2.3 builds, thanks to MarbleDice. The change is here, https://github.com/angband/angband/pull/4991 .

                        Cool, thanks it's funny that this idea was implemented just recently.. so the same idea came to different heads at the same moment (often situation in real life)

                          This was the case before and was changed around v3-v4 for a reason that eludes me...

                            Just for flavor, I'd love to see some of the dialogue from FAAngband incorporated into Vanilla. Just finished knocking off Morgoth there, and it was a real pleasure to read all the diatribes he was spouting, him along with many of the other uniques.

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

                              Is it just me, or is "Notify recharge" not working?

                              EDIT: Ok, it is working, but no audible sound is played on the notification. Shouldn't there be?

                                Every time I leave a level I can see a purple unique flash up very briefly in the monster display window. Is this a thing?
