    This is traditional behavior. So... yes, I guess.

      Update b12bbfe fixes:
      • Armour encumbrance messages being spammed every turn
      • Incorrect messages for the effects of ranged attacks on monsters
      • Wrong colours for immunities in the 'C' screen resistance panel
      • Crash when lighting an area in town
      • The whole town lighting up like a room after light area
      • Ego ignoring settings not being reset at birth


      in addition, I have worked out what was causing the ignore-drop-crash bug, or more recently just generating a message - it is because the inventory is sometimes checked twice, and two drop commands queued up, before the actual dropping happens. The fix is to remove the message

      Thanks Nomad and MattB for the savefiles - they were very illuminating...

      Also, at some point soon I will post a list of listed bugs which I can't reproduce, so we can try and work out if they are still (or indeed were ever) a problem.

      EDIT: Oops, builds not up yet. Shouldn't be long.

        Not a bug, but a change request. When @ has a temporary resist of one of the four basic elements or poison, there is an indication at the bottom of the main window. Could we have the same indicators turn on when @ wears equipment giving immunity to those elements (once that property on the equipment is identified, of course)?

          Angband 4.0 dev b12bbfe Elvenkind Armor is ignored with the quality setting "Excellent but not splendid". In 3.5 it was not ignored at that setting. My understanding is that items with obvious effects upon wielding automatically qualify as "splendid" and the stealth benefit of elvenkind armor is an obvious effect. Has the change been intended?

            Angband 4.0 dev b12bbfe Battle crash firing arrows at an Elder Vampire. Not easily replicated, so no savefile is attached. I know it's just in my mind, but it feels like rapidly and repeatedly pressing keys in battle results in a crash. It used to only result in @ death from stupidity.

              Okay, I think I have a replicable battle crash. Load the savefile and take a swipe at the Vampire. When you hit the spacebar to clear the <More> prompt, it should crash. Tester.zip

                Didn't crash for me, I'm afraid (on Windows or Linux)

                  Hmmm. I'm on OSX on a MacBook Pro and it crashes everytime for me. Well, eventually it will get figured out.

                    Cloaks of the Magi now have random high resist instead of random ability. A typo introduced when adding the kind flags to ego_item.txt.

                      Ha, failed to test that - it does for me too.

                            Didn't we already win this race a whole bunch of times?

                              Oh, burn.

                              Seriously, while I wish the NetHack devs the best of luck, the problems they're having are nicely indicative of how thankful we should be to Ben Harrison, and more recently Nick, for their efforts in keeping the Angband codebase clean and easily modifiable.
