V 3.5 now in feature freeze

[jrodman]

Personally i think it should be called like training wheels mode or something, and should have a separate 'score' file. It's fun to read the score file even when you know it doesn't represent skill. It's just a record of games you've played.

Out of curiosity, why do you want a directional prompt if there's only one option (i.e. one adjacent trap/open door)?

Will it give you a prompt if there are more than one option, like after reading a scroll of trap creation?

[Derakon]

Yes, it will.

Overhead view bug. I thought this had been fixed, but it is still present in 439-gd2b2e2d. See picture. Term 1 is set to show overhead view. I think this is related to main window refresh bug.

This should be fixed in nightlies now.

I added some more special rooms to the template file, taking the total up to 60. There's a few more non-rectangular shapes in there now, and I added some ammo dumps (little stashes of three piles of shots/arrows/bolts, which I hope isn't enough to unbalance anything).

These layouts are quite fun to design, so there's always a chance I'll end up creating even more before 3.5 is ready to go...

Great, I just found these again and committed them Do you have any more?

Yep! Here's the final set of 100 room designs, which hopefully ought to be enough to keep things varied and make sure you don't see the whole set in one game. (I also reordered the file to make things a bit more organised and tweaked a few of the existing room designs so it should be easier for corridors to connect up to them.) So this will be the last update to room_template.txt unless I spot any problems during further playtesting.

Incorporated, thanks

Just made a new character on this most recently updated nightly, and had the game crash within the first minute from a scrawny cat hitting me in town.


Also character 2 just now crashed after bumping into a drunk.

In other news, it's not limited to combat in town. I made another character and went straight into the dungeon, and attacking the first enemy I saw caused the game to crash as well.

Well, maybe you shouldn't be so aggressive.

It's fixed in revision 3f943fd, thanks. Hopefully will be on the autobuilder soon.

[Raajaton]

So far so good. First round of attack didn't crash the client.

Thanks for fixing it so quickly. I was looking forward to checking out the new room layouts, so I didn't want to start a character until this version was playable.

Just for a heads up, I broke the feature freeze rule a bit today and yesterday because there some easy to code stuff that I thought should go in to 3.5.

• Nicking Sil's highlight targets feature
• Numbers instead of labels wil be used when using a command on an object, if that object has an inscribed tag - e.g. if you inscribe something @q0, it'll show up as '0' on the menu instead of its letter
• Inscriptions now use the roguelike keyset if that's the keyset you're using

Enjoy.

You might want to add a check for multiple items that have the same tag and then revert to the labels. That way, if someone doesn't play with a separate inventory term, they don't have to go back and forth to figure out which slot it's in.

And further to the above, if you've got a melee weapon and a digger inscribed with '@w1', but you wield an un-ID'd weapon to find out what it is, when you want to go back to your main weapon, or digger, you can't choose between them because they're both labelled '1'.
