Angband 4.0beta status

LOL. Sorry, no save file on the speed display failure to update. I've pretty much only posted savefiles for reproducable crashes. When I notice the speed display issue again, I will post one.

Okay, Nick, here is a savefile reflecting the speed display issue. @ is wearing a =Speed +8. @ just found Thalkettoth with speed +3, for a total of +11 speed. Upload the savefile and swap between the two armors, observing the speed display. It does not update properly. When you first wield Thalkettoth, display says +8, wield the regular magical armor and the speed updates for the previously worn armor saying +11 (from Thalkettoth even though it is now in the pack), switch back and forth several times and watch the speed display failure each time. This is on OSX. Hopefully you'll see what I mean. A redraw fixes the display. 174.zip

version-v4.0beta-250-g6a53a46. I'm losing charges off a stack of 3 staves of id by dropping 1 in the home then picking it back up. Started with 14 charges. drop 1. Now 10 in hand, 4 in home. Pick it up 10 in hand. Drop 7 in hand, 3 in home etc.

I'm playing the competition character on the latest nightly and noticed a couple things.

@ will run past a trap in a room without being disturbed

Equipping an item in a slot with something already there no longer tells you what you were wearing. I think that one was reported before.

Speed update may very well be related to the failing AC update problem. That one only occurs at certain column/row size of main window. I get it with main window at NumCols=130, NumRows=51. See my earlier post for details.

[*]Rubble can now contain items again (I continue to be amazed with how you guys are diagnosing issues so well without looking at the code)

Sign of a mis-spent youth.
Well, a mis-spent middle age anyway!

You should have a macro to post this whenever Ingwe produces a bug.

I can't reproduce this - do you have a savefile?

Update 27fb6d5 fixes:

• Berserker typo
• Activation description for multiple random effects ("or" instead of "and")
• Rubble can now contain items again (I continue to be amazed with how you guys are diagnosing issues so well without looking at the code)
• Make weapon description give details for non-weapon brands and slays

Angband 4.0 dev 78905dd Error in speed display. Swapping boots of speed and boots of Elvenkind, the speed display does not update correctly. However, a redraw does correct the problem.

I can't reproduce this - do you have a savefile?

report crashes here?

Yes, please. If ever you are in the position to give a savefile (frequently that isn't possible with a crash), that always helps.

[Nomad]

Has anyone found anything under rubble (monster or item) recently?

I don't remember ever finding anything under rubble in any 4.0 beta.

I'm increasingly beginning to think you're right about the lack of items under rubble. I've been keeping an eye out since you mentioned it and haven't spotted a single one yet.

My copy of Tenser's lists a "Bereserker" spell.

Yeah, the spelling is wrong. Should be "Berserker" in the Rogue and Ranger copies of Tenser's.

report crashes here? just firing up the competition character, made it an hour or so in, then crash when I try to step onto an arrow to pick it up, would have given me 40 total. also I'd gone back to no graphics, and pulled the window screen down to make it a little bigger.

problem details from windows, not sure if any of this would be helpful:

This armour brands melee

g) the Studded Leather Armour of Mabin (-1) [12,+28] <+2>
...  It causes your melee attacks to slay dragons. ...

There is a vague hint ("may benefit from one or more off-weapon...") but I can't identify the weapon fully. I see no way to get the full info (i.e. about dragon slaying).

(edit) quite nice weap btw, this is mage level 39 damage output with zero optimization for damage

A question to anyone who's been seeing errors in bonus display - AC, speed, etc - does the problem go away with a redraw (Control-R), or do you need to save and reload? I'm having trouble reproducing any of those issues.
