    Angband 4.0 dev b33831c

    Unknown crash when recalling from Town. Not easily replicable so no savefile attached.

      I'm afraid the new starting screen doesn't move/redraw if you resize the window, so you end up with only one corner of it visible if you reduce the main window to minimum size. (If you exit then restart, though, it does then appear correctly in the smaller window.) Also, this is probably just me and my terrible eyes, but I must admit I find the bright red text on black a bit painful to try and read.

      And thanks for installing the tiles! I quite like the new-look town: my tileset's still using the old brown permarock colour for walls, so between that and the lava and brown rubble the town now looks quite 'warm' and cave-like compared to the dungeon corridors. Much more atmospheric than 3.5 town.

          And mysteriously, [,] stand still is working properly again. Nick, you must have been right, a redraw problem.

            It's a roguelike. It's supposed to be really hard.

                Just noticed that Feature Knowledge on the knowledge menu doesn't seem to list traps any more. In 3.5 they have their own subsection and are all known from the beginning, but in 4.0 they're not listed anywhere even after you've encountered a few.

                  Yeah, that's on my to do list (#1935) - because they're not terrain features any more they need different treatment, and I didn't realise until a few days ago (while reading the glyph of warding thread) that we'd lost information.

                  And I'll change the ominous red to boring light grey

                      Good to report, though, because it's presumably a crash on level generation, which suggests it may be my recent fix to traps appearing on stairs.

                        Just had a crash and, while I don't really know why, I was hammering the 'h' button to get rid of a jelly that was in my way...

                          Did you run out of arrows? Were any falling at your feet? Any other clues?

                            Here's a zip.

                            It happened again, in a completely different sector of the dungeon, so I reloaded, resized and moved around all my windows again, and this time headed for the original jelly. I saved, which is this savefile, and had at 'im again. It crashed again. Then I reloaded (the savefile, not the bow), shot him carefully and no crash, but YMMD.

                              A possible pathing problem has raised its ugly head. @ is in a vault and has successfully killed the cat lord. Can anyone explain why the tiger will not move up to attack? Aris.zip

                                Update fcb2a07 fixes:
                                • Readability of the splashscreen quote
                                • MattB's jelly crash - thanks for the savefile, the pack combining logic was just wrong, and I'm surprised there weren't more crashes from this
                                • Taking more care with ensuring trapless stairs, hopefully fixing Ingwe's latest crash
                                • Repeat wielding of the same item


                                Some other things:

                                Possibly related to Bug #1922. Speed display not updating properly.

                                On the attached savefile. Swap between the boots of speed and the boots of stealth, observing the speed display. On OSX this is not updating correctly, even after a move. The problem resolves with a redraw, until you swap the boots again. [ATTACH]1262[/ATTACH]
                                The speed display updates flawlessly for me, on both Linux and OSX. This whole business is quite odd - there are multiple independent reports of this, but it doesn't seem to be reliably reproducible.

                                No problem - tiger is frightened If you walk down and into the corner, it will go past and leg it up to the top of the vault.
