Bugs and complaints on current master

b11b07a is crashing on load again for Yosemite

Is that with an existing savefile? Because it does break savefiles...

No, this is before I get a chance to open a savefile, just opening the application.

OK, thanks, I'll look into it.

OK, got it - it's the lore file. Here are my instructions from upthread:

The trick of copying monster.txt to lore.txt for full monster memory still works, or if you want to use your previous lore.txt you can go through and replace every line like this

name:22:large brown snake

with this

name:large brown snake

- so remove the numbers from the name: lines.

If anyone really wants to keep their old lore file and really doesn't want to do the number-removing trick, give me the file (email, or attach to forum or whatever) and I'll do it for you.

A weird one that probably won't affect most players, but turning on the amulet of Amandil creates a nonexistent artifact, and crashes randarts games on character creation. This is is no longer an issue if for Amandil
base-object:amulet:55
is changed to
base-object:amulet:Amulet
in the artifact edit file.

Commit 0471452 changed many item flavors in flavor.txt, but didn't update the corresponding flvr-xxx.prf files (should be fine though if the colors didn't change too drastically). Also "Serpent Ring" is already used for Barahir (I used "Amber" instead).

[PowerWyrm]

There are also two "Wrinkled" mushroom flavors now (I changed #180 to Smelly).

Thanks - takkaria and I discussed the implications for ties and decided they were fine, but I'll fix those couple of issues.

Here's one in 4.0.3-601-g661e3b3

Thanks, that was just me being stupid

EDIT: Fix pushed, builds should be up soon.

Just a little glitch introduced by a fix to stm in a41a202: using stm on a secret door now says "the door turns into mud" instead of "the wall turns into mud".

[kandrc]

In 4.0.3-602-gc20e69e:

Darkness surrounds you.
You are blind.
Something mumbles.
You are hit by !

[Nick]

New build up with that blind message fixed.

I'm going to assume that the stone to mud process shows the player that the wall is in fact a door, and then dissolves it

Complaint: Paladin is nearly unplayable after removing detect stairs. Magic mapping is a CL 23 spell, with high failure rate and mana cost. That's a long, long way to wait for such a basic necessity.

Complaint: Paladin is nearly unplayable after removing detect stairs. Magic mapping is a CL 23 spell, with high failure rate and mana cost. That's a long, long way to wait for such a basic necessity.

OK, some possible solutions:

1. Bring back Detect Stairs as a stand alone spell
2. Make mapping earlier for Paladins
3. Put in more down stairs - currently 3 or 4, make it like 10-15
4. Ensure more trapdoors
5. Add in chasms like (but not exactly like) in Sil
6. Something even weirder

Any thoughts?

Number 1, please. I think it works rather well and I don't see how options 2-6 make the game more interesting/better. Nothing rational though, just a feeling.
