Angband 3.2.2 released!

[takkaria]

Hello all,

Here's Angband 3.3.2. Unfortunately a mistake in the fix for #1515 caused a nasty bug (#1545) where both hasting and slowing of monsters stopped working. This is fixed, along with some or all of the Windows numpad errors (#1494, thanks to Blubaron). We also fixed a minor bug with origin setting of gold in special rooms, and fixed some randart issues (broken supercharges, no RES_STUN - #1553 - thanks PowerWyrm). Also, finally those pesky randart error messages are gone!

This is hopefully the last release in the 3.3 series. Get it, as usual, at rephial.org.

I'm getting confused by the release numbers, The title says 3.2.2 but your saying it is 3.3.2? I thought 3.3.2 was already out?
Rephial.org still says latest version is 3.3.1?

Okay, I just saw rephial.org updated to 3.3.2, thanks!

Typo, my apologies.

Game opens to black screen.

I downloaded the new 3.3.2 release from rephial and extracted it.
When executed the game screen opens to a black screen with no text.
Is this a known bug and how can i fix it?

Are you using windows? Sometimes I have a refresh bug on start that goes away if I minimize the window and bring it back up.

It might be font issue too. If your old setting had font that isn't included in 3.2.2 screen would be blank black.

I tried the refresh issue and minimized and resized the screen. No luck.

As for a font issue. I dont understand what you mean.
I didn't extract the file over the old one. I deleted it then extracted it so there shouldn't be any old settings to deal with.

Either way... I still get a blank screen.

Did you restart the computer? That can fix it sometimes, too.

Thanks Tak... I restarted the computer and it seems to work now.

I just lost a game wielding a beaked axe (2d6) +12+10 defender, With 18/110 strength i was only getting about 1.3 blows a round at 33points damage. What is funny it seems I can wield a shovel and do more damage per round than my ego weapon. Picks and shovels of digging were doing a lot more damage per round, this seems wrong somehow. i feel like the heavier weapons are not doing enough damage per round to offset their lack of blows per round

On the one hand, this is a very old debate that goes by the summary title of "O combat" (named after the variant which first solved the problem). We plan on testing out some O-like combat changes (but not actual O-combat) in v4.

On the other hand, you are talking about a Defender, the ego weapon that isn't about damage.
