mystery uniques.

[Pete Mack]

Finally installed HEAD on my machine... Is there a plan to use some of the other new colors for uniques? I strongly recommend the NPP color scheme, where some of the shades are reserved for uniques, especially for genera like 'D' and 'd', where there are so many colors already used by other species.
Most obviously, I'd like to know which 'y' or 'o' (more or less) I'm looking at. Currently can't tell Lagduf from Ufthak without 'l'ooking.

I have r1626 and can't tell grishnak from golfimbul or lagduf and more importantly can't tell a black wraith from Ren the Unclean, i misadvertently attacked Scatha. Different shades would have to be different enough so that i can notice that Scatha is indeed a different colour but i agree that NPP style could be nice.

Yes, there is a plan to use some new colours for uniques (possibly including 'bold' versions of the base colours). I'd be happy to see three or four different shades reserved for uniques - say with the darker shades being the tougher ones. I'd quite like to avoid going back to the confusion Philip mentioned, where ringwraiths look the same as wraiths.

I agree about the Ringwraiths. I am not so sure about bold face. (I don't like BF in reverse video, and I don't think it will work on the current Windows port.)

Again, I think NPP is very good on unique colors already.

Bug: quiver matching autopickup works when quiver is full, causing forced drop from pack rather than rejection of quiver.
EDIT:
Bug (usability): magic device skill should show green at 54 (superb), where you have a > 0.5 chance of activating any device. (53-54 is the major breakpoint in this skill.)

I think this is a regression, but it's d_m's area.

Not any more. It's a smooth progression.

Fixed in r1894.

This was fixed in most situation already, but if you had an exact multiple of 99 then the auto pickup would still work.

Thanks for catching this.
