    bug with blows descr

    I've noticed something wrong with the description of stat increases needed for additional blows. I think it only relates to weapons with extra attacks, though I am not sure. To start, in the store it said with +0 str and +0 dex you get some number of blows. I inspected a wielded rapier+2att [not in a store] and got the same descr before and after I tried on dwarven armor, which should have changed the str requirements.

    I'll try to track it down and post a patch, but access to my dev machine will be random for the next day or two.

    Hmmm. Are you playing the latest version? It now definitely takes into account extra attacks on the weapon being examined, as well as all modifiers on worn equipment.

    There could well be a bug if your wielded weapon gives STR or DEX bonuses, and you inspect a weapon without them. But is that what you meant?

      I've been updating, but these were in the 1850 +/- 10 range I believe.

      It was a rapier of +2 attacks and I was wielding it, definitely, and the "you need 3 str" did not change when I unwielded my dwarven armor +2, and I was not in a store at the time.

      I knew something was wrong much earlier. I bought the thing at the market, and inspecting before I bought it said "with +0 str and +0 dex you would get 4 blows". Correct info, but sure looked buggy. I suppose it is possible I was wielding a str bonus weapon at that time.

      I'm wonder if the +blows gets included on only one side of the equation when comparing how many blows you get with different str/dex combos. In my case the +2 attacks means that for looking at the difference between 3 and 4 blows you need to inspect the tables to see the diff between 1 and 2 blows rather than 3 vs 4 blows. If that's not the problem, I don't have a guess what is.

      I'm such a dolt I played some more and didn't copy the savefile.

        Thanks to multiple upgrades using no-install, I found a savefile of some slight use.

        The rapier in the store says

        1 blow/round
        With an additional 0 strength and 0 dex you would get 3 blows

        I bet if you figure out how to fix that the rest will come out.

        I bought the thing and tried various combinations, but could not reproduce the bug. I think it came later after finding and using Thingol.

          Thank you - working on it. I just moved house (yesterday), so it might be a few days.
