A request for a UI improvement. When you inspect a weapon & it says "you are too weak to use this weapon", it'd be nice if it told me how much extra str I need. That way I know if it's worth picking up till I find a =str or !brawn.

Not sure if this has been already reported, but I found an Elfstone randart that's reported in my character history as a two-handed great flail. (I had previously found a different Elfstone randart that's correctly listed as an Elfstone; not sure if that has anything to do with the bug.)The Complainer worries about the lack of activity here these days.Comment

Town always the same, even when starting a new @. I remember reading here recently that this was an unintended consequence, but not necessarily considered bad, regardless of whether one hit's "N" to "start afresh", because it is the same starting savefile with its knowledge base. However, angband.live, with it's sign-in model, ends up having the same town setup forever because the starting file is connected to the username login used to sign-in (unless we create new sign-in identities or ask qwarl to physically change it for us). This seems flawed, to me. Possibly the town should remain the same if one chooses "Y" for previous, but if one chooses "N" to start afresh the town should change.“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

There's a workaround for this. Thanks to some of the improvements to V's code I can fairly easily tell if a character is dead, and if so delete the savefile and allow the game to create a new one in the same name. The competition mode works a little like this.
However:
Despite using the .prf system for many things, various options are set in the savefile itself (you can notice this with competition savefiles). There may be some wizardry about .prf files that could get round that. I'm not sure.Comment

This will change in 4.1.1 so the town is new every time.
Since the release of 4.1.0 I have been doing some preparatory structural work; soon I should get to bugfixing and updated development builds should start again. My understanding at this point is that there are no real game-breaking bugs (thanks to everyone for the extensive pre-release testing), so probably I will work through all the existing known bugs, then release 4.1.1.One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

Just ran into what looks like a serious bug. I discovered a Ring of Resist Poison {??} in a vault at 2600', and repeatedly tried to identify the apparent unknown rune with the Perception prayer; but nothing happened, apart from me losing the expected 20SP. Smelling a bug, I took the ring back to the town and tried to identify the unknown rune by selling, whereupon the game crashed. I have no idea what (if any) the unknown rune is, though my guess would be that it's Morgoth's evil dark rune of game-stopping.The Complainer worries about the lack of activity here these days.Comment

Items with +light both say "+x light" and "radius x light". Maybe remove the "+x light" line.PWMAngband variant maintainer - check https://github.com/draconisPW/PWMAngband (or http://www.mangband.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=9) to learn more about this new variant!Comment

Oops, failed to take in there was a link.
I'm afraid it wasn't the right one - and also my instructions were partly wrong. You need a file that has an artifact called Ningol in it - and it either will be one of the randart_*.txt files in lib\user\archive, or it will be randart.txt in lib\user.One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
