Angband 4.0beta status

[Nomad]

A few small things playing 0644321:

* Quaffing a potion of Resist Heat gives you RCold as well as RFire. (Resist Cold only gives you RCold, though.)

* I found a randart Elven cloak without the speed boost that Elven cloaks get as standard - is that supposed to be possible? (It did have the +1 Stealth boost.)

Update 709d171 fixes

• Failure to load an old savefile is more graceful
• .prf object wildcards now affect flavours

Quaffing a potion of Resist Heat gives you RCold as well as RFire. (Resist Cold only gives you RCold, though.)

I couldn't reproduce this, or see any reason for it.

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be possible, but I'm not surprised it is - presumably the randart generator has removed the speed bonus for power reasons. Let's say it's working as intended

After some quick poking around I haven't found any more saves that cause assertion failures so far.

However, I have two that are simply recognized as "Broken savefile", rather than "Broken savefile - probably from a development version"

Are you interested in this at all, Nick?

Excellent, this is almost exactly what I was looking for.

It's less than perfect for scrolls though, for reasons I describe in another post.

No, that's fine - it's just a slightly different type of failure.

Update ac4af8d will be up soon, and is a complete re-organisation of the lib sub-directories. Please check that everything isn't broken, especially in Windows and OSX.

Windows and OSX both broken

I'll get back when they work

Update b66dd1d is as far as I know functional for all operating systems. See what you think of the new lib/ directory structure.

A possible insight into the failure of AC to update. In the attached savefile, @ has a Robe and has Full Plate Armor. With the Robe, @ AC is 22. With the Plate Armor, @ AC is 84, but the weight of the armor encumbers @'s movement. Switch between the armors and you will see the information at the left of the screen fails to update the armor class. Even after moving and engaging in combat with a townie, the AC display does not update without a redraw. Eleanor.zip

Could be totally off base, but I'm wondering if the failure is related to the receipt of the encumbrance / move more freely messages, similar to the run-past bug when a message was received? Oh, and this is in OSX.

What is supposed to be in the Info subdirectory?

It's intent is as a place for the user to put other text files to be accessed by the help system.

Turns out the last thing was most relevant - I can reproduce this in OSX, but not Linux or Windows. So it looks like it's an OSX port problem. I'll investigate.

Update 5275124 does some more messing around with directories, this time chiefly takkaria sensibly putting all the tileset information (actual tiles and related .prf files) in sub-directories of lib/tiles.

Should be not much to notice, but checking to make sure it all works would be good.

• Flavor and special player picture loading does not work.
  • worked in 370
  • works again if you move the flavor and special player picture prf files back into lib/customize/
  • also works again if you edit eg graf-dvg.prf to load %:../tiles/gervais/xtra-dvg.prf instead of just %:xtra-dvg.prf et cetera.
• "list.txt" introduces itself as "graphics.txt" and then tries to help you understand "dungeons.txt" and the syntax described doesn't quite match the way the file actually works.
• For shits and giggles I decided to add spaces around the colons in list.txt just like in the description contained in the file. The game didn't like it.

Update 025fdad attempts to fix tile loading properly - please report if it's not working in OSX or Windows (or Linux for that matter, but I'm fairly confident that's OK).
