possible bug in char history - r2025

[bebo]

reading my latets char's history (here: http://angband.oook.cz/forum/showthread.php?t=3550) I saw that apparently I reached clvl 43 FOUR times.

This probably comes from temporarily losong a level because of exp drain and getting it back via normal exp gain through combat instead of with potions of restore life levels, but still it feels kind of silly to have player history behave this way.

What's wrong with that? You DID attain level 43 four times

Precisely. This is actually a fix for a long-standing bug which stopped a level appearing in your history if you gained it while you were drained (xp < max_xp).

I suppose it might be even more useful if it told you when a level was drained away, so it didn't look really bizarre...

Well at the moment it's the only possible explanation for gaining the same level more than once, so it can be inferred. But yes, anyone interested in tinkering with history.c could add HISTORY_LOSE_LEVEL ...
