    Angband 4.0 dev ac26dbd

    Are enemy Mana Bolts now super-powered?

    Just ran into Baphomet and the monster description shows he can cast a mana bolt for 1566 damage! Checking out some of the other monsters:

    Sauron and Morgoth: Mana Storm (1600) same as Mana Bolt (1600)

    That's messed up.

But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

      EDIT: I'll let you know if I find another one in the current version.
      No need - I have just confirmed that it does fix that crash (if you're wondering how the story ends, the vampire dies and drops stuff )

        I suspect this is a reporting problem rather than a damage problem, but am still looking into it.

        EDIT: Confirmed - it affects monster memory display but not actual damage done, and will be fixed in the next update

          Update be2a114 fixes
          • Ice attacks not being reduced by RCold (thanks PowerWyrm)
          • Stupid damage numbers in monster bolt and ball attacks
          • Numerous pricing problems


          In fact, the last two were related, as miscalculating spell damage affected monster power, which affected object power, which affected prices (and in fact randarts a little).

          Please report any pricing weirdness - I think it all should be as for 3.5.1 now.

            In 3.5, looking at a blade of chaos on the floor was mentioning the obvious "provides resistance to chaos" in the info. It's not the case anymore. Is that intended?

              Angband 4.0 dev be2a114 -Pathing difficulties

              Here's a savefile with an example of one of the pathing problems. The black wraith and Baphomet seem to be having problems finding @ after he phased and quaffed potions to heal up. Tester.zip

                If you get a "Your [object] has recharged" message in the same turn that you would have hit the edge of a trap detection boundary while running, you end up running on an extra square and stopping just outside the boundary instead of on it. At least, I think that's what's happening there - I've twice noticed @ running past the edge of a detection area when I got a recharge message. (Possibly other types of messages interrupting running are causing the same issue too? That could be what's behind the intermittent 'run past' bug.)

                    Just crashed reading several ?Satisfy Hunger in succession. Not easily replicable, so no savefile is attached.

                          After killing Sauron. If @ returns to town before descending to DL 100, @ cannot get past DL 99. ?Deep Descent returns @ to DL 99 not DL 100. Also, DL 99 has no downstairs even though Sauron is already dead.

                            Are you playing with forced descent on?

                              The hound movement might be related to pack AI behavior. It's hard to tell. I'll try to look into it later to figure out what it's trying to do.

                                No. Playing Standarts and regular options for my testing purposes. Just burned a !Enlightenment to demonstrate. Check out the full map - no downstairs. Check out the monster memory, Sauron is dead.

                                By the way, here is another example of the pathing problem. The @ can rest forever and the hydras do not move up to take him on.
