Issues on current master

[Gwarl]

Using a flavored staff in an attempt to id-by-use. Get the message, "you have no curses to remove", but, the staff remains unidentified. Obviously, a staff of remove curse.

Happens with scrolls of remove curse too, and doesn't consume the scroll.

Ah no, the scroll is identified after the attempt while the staff isnt untill you actually use it on a cursed item.

[wobbly]

If you destroy an item on the ground with remove curse it doesn't update properly till you move

[PowerWyrm]

Deathwreaker does "980.4 vs. undead, 668 vs. undead".

Deathwreaker does "980.4 vs. undead, 668 vs. undead".

Yeah, I noticed that too. Isn't the second one supposed to be demons?

[PowerWyrm]

Nope, it's a bug due to mace of disruption having "slay" undead and Deathwreaker itself having "*slay*" undead. The description says: "Slays undead (powerfully), undead...", so the same problem happens there too.

[Sky]

same if you get a brand or slay off-weapon.

Open door on move doesn't work if you have unbarring ways cast

New build up on the nightlies page.

Changes:

• Fix to off-by-one bug in object power calculations (thanks PowerWyrm)
• Remove the lower power limit for item to base randarts off. This should fix the problem of having so many randart rings based on =Escaping, and also should allow better high-end randart weapons. Randart DSMs are still a bit OP.
• Have the game create a diagnosis file when it crashes due to problems with object piles (which IME pretty much all crashes are due to). So if you get a crash which tells you a pile_error.txt file has been created, please report it and include the contents of the file in your report.

I prioritised these ones because randarts need time to assess, and because I regard any crashes as completely unacceptable. I'll try to get to some of the merely annoying bugs (like the passable rubble thing, ID issues, etc) next.

[Nick]

And another one. Changes this time:

• Monsters can now find their way through passable rubble
• Magic devices should ID appropriately on use, even things like Remove Curse where no charge is used
• Attempting to remove a curse no longer gives knowledge of unknown curses
• Breaths have been buffed considerably; most monster breaths will still be full power 5 grids away, or 9 grids for powerful monsters

Let me know how all this is working (or not).

[Gwarl]

I think un-ID'd remove curse should be consumed on use, not just identified. Isn't that how identify scrolls work?

[Nick]

From the previous thread:

I'm currently checking new object power calculations and it seems that most of the individual properties are way underpriced. No idea why... because power values in object_property.txt are identical as before.

Is this still a problem? Do you think this might have been down to the off-by-one error that is now fixed?

[Estie]

I think un-ID'd remove curse should be consumed on use, not just identified. Isn't that how identify scrolls work?

No. With items the use of which requires an argument, like identify or bansishment, you get the chance to abort without consumption, and in case of unidentified use, aborting will also identify the item - except for the staff of remove curse.

Edit: actually thinking of it, I believe the staff of banishment also doesnt identify.

[wobbly]

Is unbarring ways meant to work on chest traps? Currently it doesn't.

[Sky]

since i'm playing only nightlies now, how do i "know all monster spoilers" ? because this resets to blank every time i re-download a build.

also, would it be ok in the next build to make rogues have light area on p/a/d instead of p/a/c ? just so it's the same as mages.
