    This is a tiny detail in 4.0.2 but may exist in 4.0.3 also. Messages are almost always in present tense, except for rare examples, e.g.

    Your Rounded Pebble (1d2) (+0, +0) hit the Green naga.

    This is the first time I've noticed a tense-agreement issue, but I'll keep an eye out for other instances.
    This is very odd. I can't see any way for this to happen - "hit" is only ever used in melee, all ranged attacks apparently use "hits".

    Please report this again in the 4.0.3 bugs thread if keeps coming up - with context/savefile if possible.

Could we separate these into the missile weapon types - Bows, Crossbows, Slings? It would be helpful for Rangers who might be interested in the bow variety, but wish to ignore some or all of types in the other two categories.

      2. Currently some of the Ego ignore items are "Dragon Scale Mail of..." Could we also have an ignore for the Dragon Scale Mail types? Like being able to ignore all but Power Dragon Scale Mail, for example.
      I have this done in development. I have chosen five types of DSM:
      • Basic - Black, Blue, White, Red, Green
      • Multi-Hued
      • High - Pseudo, Gold, Law, Chaos
      • Balance
      • Power


      This seems like a reasonable compromise between too little choice (the current situation), and flooding the list with DSMs. Note that this fix has also done the launcher and DSM split for quality ignore.

      This will be in the next nightly build, which should be up shortly; note that loading an existing character will work, but wipe all the ego and quality ignore settings.

        ~ Monster Knowledge omits many known uniques that I've met and killed. They do appear as killed on the character dump.
        There was a problem (fixed in 4.0.2) where a bunch of monster lore info wasn't saved properly when the game quit - I suspect this is the same issue. Please report if you run across it again in a later version.

          Thank you so much, Nick. You are the man!

            That's probably what happened. I did see the door from afar, but that was probably because I had been keeping trap/door/stair detection up.

            (Cool "secret", then.)

              I like to imagine that one of the dungeon architects thinks they're in a Loony Tunes show. "Oh, what's behind this door? A...blank stone wall. Huh."

Same save file works fine if loaded with the Open command.
                This is fixed in the latest build.

                  spoiler generation bug in 4.0.2 OS X

                  I ^C'd a character, and tried to generate object spoilers from the tombstone screen.
                  The game proceeded to show messages of "auto-inscribed a scroll of recall," auto-inscribed a scroll of phase doc," "auto-inscribed a scroll of identify" ad infinitum, without ever returning me to the tombstone screen, and I eventually had to force-kill the application.

                  Other observations:
                  • these three are the only scroll auto-inscribes I have defined, although I also have definitions for a number of other staves, rods, wands and spell books.
                  • this appears reproducible with a brand-new character, and the bug is triggered regardless of whether I actually have the scrolls in inventory.
                  • it is only the object spoiler generation that is affected; other spoilers seem to complete with no problem.
                  • the object.spo file does get generated prior to the app entering the infinite message loop.

                    Just a note of warning on this (post 4.0.3) change - it breaks savefile backwards compatibility with 4.0.x versions. So if a 4.0.4 is released (which it probably will at some point), it will not include this change; the master branch, however, will continue to include it.

                      I don't see why you'd release a 4.0.4; nobody would ever be able to find it.

                        Damn. I love the change on the dragon mail ignoring. It's been very helpful!
