4.0.3 bugs

[jrodman]

Yeah but this is a pain. I do something similar, pick up all the ammo, which if I'm just about full kicks out the last entry of inventory, drop the required ammo to reduce the quiver size, then pick up the item again. Can be risky, though, and might forget to pick up the item again.

The game really needs a "pick up ammo that fits into existing quivers" command.

Personally I'd go with wobbly's implied suggestion. "Your (inventory via the quiver|ammo pile) limits how much you can pick up, you get 12 arrows from the pile of 25." Probably there's better ways to word this, but tell the player that they didn't get them all and what limited it.

Another minor 1. Casting door creating left me inside a closed door. Though maybe it's always been like that.

Don't know whether I'd call it a bug or an interface issue, but I'm standing on 18 iron shots, I can fit 6 in my inventory. Why can't I use the get command to pick up 6?

The behaviour I'm going to aim for here is

1. Picking up in this situation requires the 'g' command (no autopickup)
2. The 'g' command prompts you for the number to pick up, and tells you the maximum.

Does this sound reasonable?

As long as the default value is also the maximum, so you can just do "g[enter]" and fill your quiver.

Enchant armor isn't uncursing my Boots of Wormtongue. I've landed a few successful (at increasing AC) enchantments, including one from an *Enchant Armor* scroll, and they're still marked cursed. This has to be a bug, right?

Whether it breaks the curse or not is a matter of random chance unrelated to the success of the enchantment. I had something similar happen to me recently where it took about 10 tries before the curse was broken. However, it eventually did happen and I was able to swap them for boots of speed.

I have had the curse break on the 1st try, and I've also had to wait until the 10th try, and everywhere in between. Nowadays, I don't wear Wormtongue boots until the curse is broken just in case I come across boots of speed that I want to wear.

Uncursing something is a flat 25% chance, halved for artifacts.

Good news is I think every reported bug is fixed except this one:

I don't know what changed about monster groups, but if you enter a room full of cave spiders and you wait for a couple of them to wake up, they will simply gather around your character like bees and do nothing. I'm sure they would gangbang you in previous versions.

which is definitely a thing. Once I have it fixed, 4.0.4 will follow fairly soon.

[Ingwe Ingweron]

One request for 4.0.4, will you put in a "disturb" when the treasure level feeling kicks in? As it stands now, when @ is running and the level feeling kicks in, @ just keeps running.

Nice catch with this - there was a moderately significant bug which was preventing group monsters from meleeing the player in open areas.

I had a weird bug happen the other day where I went down to a new level and very briefly all the monsters on the level flashed on the monster see/detect window.
