    Burden/Overweight Change?

    Was the amount of stuff someone can carry before being burdened/overweight reduced in the latest version of Angband? I have a dunadan paladin with 18/190-something strength, but am going around with a -1 slow because I am 25lb overweight, even though I really don't seem to have much stuff compared to some other characters in the past.

    I don't think it has changed, but without a character dump it's hard to tell what your @'s issue may be. Try dumping it to the ladder and posting a link here. I'm sure you'll get plenty of responses and advice. Is @ carrying a Mace of Disruption? They're quite heavy.

    Edit: spelling correction

      How much weight are you carrying? In your character's inventory screen it will say how much you're carrying and how much your overweight by. I believe you can carry 180lbs. before going overweight when your strength is at max or near max. Of course if your strength stat is yellow due to stat drain you won't be able to carry as much.

        Went to read 4.0.2 source to find out STR effect on carrying capacity, but I have no idea which file contains that info. Seems that easy access to that info is either gone, or hidden somewhere I just can't find.

        [EDIT] found it. Player-calcs.c. Seems that I need to complain here that I can't find something in order to find it. I can't find winning lottery ticket anywhere in the source.

        Weight limit seems to be 30 at 18/50 and higher. That's 300lbs.

          I'd like to complain that I can't find that £100k pa job for working half a day a week anywhere in the source code.
