4.0.4 bugs

[Egavactip]

Not a bug, necessarily, but the random name generation starting a new human mage character just popped up "Sauron". Seriously?! Hmmm, maybe the RNG knows something I don't.... Guess it could have been worse, it could have come up with "Morgoth"!

Oh, it gets worse. Today I got "Trump."

100% disarm not true

My Hobbit Ranger just triggerd a summing trap on "D"isarm. That should not happen since the character display says Disarm 100%. Either the display is wrong or the code. Or maybe I don't understand the display. Seems an unlikely bug, could be a that the result is rounded up and I have between 0 and 1% failure rate?
[EDIT: Sorry, I am on 4.0.3]

Also 4.0.3 - The level feelings don't display properly if the item quality kicks in immediately & it tries to dispay danger & item quality at the same time. I have to hit Ctrl-P to see what it just said.

The displayed value is about disarming dungeon traps. Traps on chests have different power and most of them are more difficult to disarm than dungeon traps.

At a guess, this is a platform specific bug; I don't recall any such problems playing 4.0.3 on OS-X, and I just received a level with immediate quality data in 4.0.4, and it displayed correctly. You'll have to provide more data on how you're running the game before anyone can troubleshoot.

Don't know if this is a bug or not—
on 4.0.4 and the latest build, when I create a character (or play one of their descendants) the randarts log that is created contains the regular artifacts.

Not a bug - it goes through and evaluates all their power, then later in the file you will see new artifacts being generated of similar power.

Windows 7 (Nividia). All default settings except I use Ascii instead of tiles. The messages flash quickly on the screen and I'm left with a blank line.

Cool...I looked further through the file. Thanks.

Two things I've noticed in 4.0.4.

With a full inventory if I go into a shop to buy a potion and I am carrying a full inventory I don't get the message I have a full inventory so can't buy it, but I get this instead. The buy (max 0) 1 is the only hint I get I can't buy the item. Took me a minute to work out it was because my inventory was maxed.



Second one is the looking and recalling a NPC doesn't give me the deails straight away, it over writes the line description of the NPC with -more- and then I have to hit enter to see the description. Doesn't happen all the time.

The interface now does strange things when your inventory is full. It doesn't tell you it is full and that you can't pick up/buy whatever it is you wanted. It just doesn't give it to you. So if you are not careful, you could try to pick something up and walk away, not noticing it is still on the ground--especially if there were multiple items in the square.

I think this error cropped up sometime in the 4.0.? series of fixes. If I recall, it worked correctly in 4.0

[geoff_tewierik]

Hadn't noticed a problem with the store/max inventory in 4.0.3, so if it's a recent thing I've just experienced it until 4.0.4.
