Bugs and issues in 4.1.0

[Nomad]

Seemed sensible to split off a new thread for this...

Small curse ID bug: treacherous weapon curse is not learned when you get the "Your weapon turns on you" message - you still have to waste an ID scroll to confirm it afterwards.

Well, as already reported, I have no sound (Win 7 home premium 64 bit).
Apparently I am the only one?

Small flavour bug: Using slow monster while blind tells you the monster "looks" slowed. Also with the staff - 2 monsters look slowed. Maybe it shouldn't be telling me how many monsters are in line of sight.

I suspect most people just never turn the sound on and wouldn't even notice. Having just checked, turns out I don't have any sound either (also on Win 7 64-bit). Looks like it's been broken for a looong time, too. Checking some random old nightlies that I still have on my machine, I can confirm that the last one I have where the sound still actually works is from March 2016!

Apart from Angband-Live, which doesn't have sound, I always play with sound on, in every nightly. I'm on OSX, and sound definitely works for me in each nightly all the way through to the newly released 4.1.

If you inspect elvish waybread it says it heals 4d8 hps. It doesn't

[Saplaran]

I have here a Whip of Slay Demon (1d3) (+3, +5), average damage/round: 14.3 vs demons, 0 vs. others.

Maybe it should be Clothesline of Slay Demon with this damage.

Arrow keys on a laptop

Hi,
I'm on a mac book, and the arrow keys are auto-running, that is I can't move a single space using the arrow keys. It's very frusterating. I went to key maps, and the down arrow key is mapped to `.2`, but when I map it to just `2`, nothing happens.

This one is my fault. map it to ;2

Neither of these issues are new, but I never played 4.0.x or nightlies much, so I didn't notice them before.

The priest prayer Sense invisible has a lower-case i; it should have an upper-case I to be consistent with every other prayer and spell.

Also, in quiver-related prompts (like "fire which ammunition?") the text says "Quiver: a-c" but the slots involved are actually 0, 1 and 2; so either the text should say "Quiver: 0-2" or letters should be allowed as substitutes for digits.

(Yes, finding trivial things to complain about when everybody else is reporting serious bugs is my specialty )

This was an issue for me, as well. Here is how I have addressed movement of @ in Angband Live on my mac book.

Walking: Remap the arrow keys to the keyboard directions, preceded by a ";" (e.g., up ";8", down ";2", left ";4", and right ";6".

Running: Shift running will not work on Angband Live the way it does for regular Angband. So Remap the function key [fn] and arrow key to their respective numerical directions preceded by a ".".

Diagonal: In the user options "=", set the movement delay to 10 or more ms. This will allow you to roughly simultaneously press two arrow keys at once, resulting in a single move in the diagonal direction.

To the devs: I had the same problem with PWMAngband and I realized I was compiling the Win port and the GCU port at the same time, without making a "build clean" between the two builds, leading to sound-core.o not being regenerated in between and staying with the USE_GCU define... which doesn't intialize any sound module. Doing a full rebuild fixed the problem with sounds.

In activation.txt, all activation descriptions from DETECT_OBJECTS to ENCHANT_ARMOR2 have a stray full stop at the end of the description.

Not a bug as such, but I'd find my fights with rangers a lot harder if they all didn't seem to go: The ranger summons an ant. The ant tramples the ranger.

Just be thankful that doesn't happen when you play a ranger
