[Announce] Angband 3.0.9a released

[takkaria]

Angband 3.0.9a fixes a few bugs and updates the game in two other ways.

The effect now that the bugs are fixed:
- Monsters are far less stupid.
- Autoconf support now works properly properly.

The other updates are:
- 'p' now purchases in stores. Enter doesn't.
- the Gervais tiles are included by default for Windows.

I was tempted to make it impossible to sell to the stores, but I didn't.

You can download this version of the game for Windows, OS X (Intel and PPC), Windows console mode, and in source form.

An OS X port would be lovely.

Have a nice day.

I am glad to hear you changed the purchasing method, that was annoying as I was sometimes buying things I didn't want to. I am new to Angband, coming over from Sangband and that was the only thing that made the game seem unpolished to me. Excellent game, btw!

OS X port: http://www.ualberta.ca/~aphillip/sto...3.0.9a-osx.dmg

i've only tried it on my Intel-based laptop (since I'm not living at home any more) - I'm haven't tested if it works on PPC macs.

The other updates are:
- 'p' now purchases in stores. Enter doesn't.

I am not sure whether it was already reported or not, but when using rogue-like keymap, 'p' appears as an regular item in the list, so since Enter does not work anymore, I am afraid there is just no way to purchase anything at all.

Confirmed. The problem lies at about line 2615 in store.c -- only the original keyset filter was updated for g and p.

The original keyset filter is:

menu.cmd_keys = "\n\x010\r?=CbdegEiIklpstw\x8B\x8C"; /* \x10 = ^p */
menu.selections = "acfhmnoqruvxyz13456790ABDFGH";

Matching this, key for key, the roguelike filter should be (differences are b-P, k-^D, l-x, t-T, ARROW_LEFT-h, ARROW_RIGHT-l):

menu.cmd_keys = "\n\x010\r?=CPdegEiI\x04xpsTwhl"; /* \x10 = ^p */
menu.selections = "abcfmnoqrtuvyz13456790ABDFGH";

(Aside: I would add '{' and '}', because I like to inscribe some things when purchased.)

I'll add a bug to trac with this info. #497

On the topic of letters for store items, any chance of reimplementing the 'n' key in stores again? I was in the habit of selling a bunch of good weapons and such at once by just selling the first one and then 'n'ing through the rest of them?

I haven't played this version yet, but I noticed two bugs in version 3.0.9 last weekend. I am just mentioning them here in case that they are still in 3.0.9a:

Priest books inscribed with {!d!s..} can nevertheless be sold at the temple store.
And I also managed to destroy (!) accidently a book of Godly Insights which was not possible in previous versions.

Version 3.0.9e?

The download page says Version 3.0.9e and also does not seem to want to download. It says NOT FOUND to all three versions. Maybe its because of the 'e'.

Sorry, where's this?

Sorry about the ambiguity.

Omg sorry, I read the version 3.0.9e all the time, it's actually 3.0.9a. D'oh moment, *blushing*.

My only tedious question, since it not mentioned in the changes file, did the supposed level feelings bug get fixed? Remember this idiot doesn't like using the preserve mode

[Kadoles]

what about colors? my monitor is burning out so i have to modify the colors every time i restart the game. are you able to save your color prefs now?

Nope. It will be in 3.1.0, but this release was essentially just to stop people starting a massive flamethread on the newsgroup.

And how! (Although to be fair, the search-range 3 bug didn't actually cause any flamewars, just a lot of confusion.)
