Rune-based ID

[MattB]

Apologies if this has already been brought up...

I'm playing the latest nightly (downloaded today).
I've been wearing a ring of teleportation for over 20,000 turns and it hasn't teleported me once. I mean, I'm not ungrateful for the free +2 speed over the first 20 levels of the dungeon, but it doesn't seem right??

That has already been brought up. How dare you?

Should have read through all 495 posts on this thread before opening my big mouth.

Okay I'm an idiot... been searching for half an hour, where do I find the rune-id version?

Thanks, I'm unfamiliar with github. I see where people say they're playing the latest nightly, is that somewhere on github? Or is rune-id now a part of Vanilla and if I try 4.0.5 it'll be there?

There's here: http://rephial.org/nightlies

The source is on github, but unless you're compiling the game for yourself you don't want that. The best places to get the game are:

• The front page for the latest official version;
• The download page, where you can get to older official versions;
• The nightlies page, which has the latest development version.

It is the latest development version from the nightlies page that has rune-based ID (and also new traps, curses, etc)

Note that this latest development version is not savefile-compatible with 4.0.x.

If you do play the nightly, make sure to save often or run in a debugger for emergency saves. There have been a number of memory errors associated with deleted objects on the floor. Also with the earthquake trap. The traps are MUCH more interesting in the nightlies.
