    Amusing. Recharge time and lantern fuel turns use the same attribute to track turns left. I note that -TreasureLocation has sval of 1, same as the Lantern; perhaps when the code checks for eligible refuelling targets, it's not checking the tval?

    EDIT: whups, myshkin beat me to it.

      Two problems I've found on the RC1 (Win32 client):
      - trying to use the borg crashes with an assertion failure (it should probably just say that it's impossible without a proper borg file and do nothing)
      - fonts are not released when closing the client (I thought that was fixed ages ago)

        Just a small one, not even sure it's a bug. "The aimless looking merchant misses you". Are they actually meant to attack you?

        & a larger one, the program crashed (on Windows 7) after: you hit the purple mushroom patch. the purple mushroom patch dies. You feel less sickly.

          Do you have a savefile where we can reproduce this?

            Sorry no. Am unsure how I'd save it if the game crashes anyway. The only think I can think of is it drained me 1 turn before I leveled up & un-drained.

              After long months of playing only Sil, I finally cracked tonight and gave 3.4 a try. I'm on the Cocoa port, which is dead sexy. Great work here!!! Running a Kobold Ranger atm.

              Something that is befuddling me -- I could have sworn that in 3.3.x on the standard controls (i.e. non-roguelike), I was able to hit shift+arrow key to run. I can't seem to do that anymore -- I have to use '.' instead.

              Am I just remembering this wrong? And, sorry for the newb question, but is there a way to alter just this one keymapping so that I can hold shift+hit dir instead of typing '.' and then dir?

                Shift+arrow key *should* let you run. I have done very little testing in the standard keyset, though. Thanks for the report.

                For the time being, you can create the keymappings for yourself manually by pressing = and then m to enter the keymap editor. For each direction, press d to create a new keymap; press shift-arrow for the key; and then type in ".N$", where N is 2, 4, 6, or 8 depending on the direction. (Compare with the keypad arrows to figure out which number.) You can also edit the preferences file .../Angband.app/Contents/Resources/lib/pref/pref.prf if you choose.

                  Sorry for my noobish question, but will there be a way to continue playing in ASCII mode on V3.4.?
                  I have became quite accustomed to this set of "graphics" which lets my imagination do the visual job, + an ugly window in my computer edge with ugly ASCII weirds things attracts MUUCCH less attention at my work place.

                    debo, how are you running diagonally? Also, are these the arrows on the numeric keypad or the arrows near the main part of the keyboard?

                      Isn't ASCII mode still the default? You just select the "none" option in the graphics menu, and it should default to ASCII.

                          I'm on a laptop... the way I play is pretty hacky. I use standard arrow keys to move up/down/left/right, and I use the standard number keys 2 4 6 8 to move diagonally. Which means I just never run diagonally lol

                          It's suboptimal, but it's how I played nethack for like 3 years and so I've never really broken the habit...

                            No, the default is now Shockbolt tiles, at least with the Win32 client. To play ASCII, you need to start a character and then change the option to "none".

                                If you need to you can simulate the numpad with the function key on most laptops. You can use this to run or swing diagonally.
