    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.)

        When my pack overflows and an artifact is dropped, the message is "You no longer have the the [artifact]", with an extra the.

          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.

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.

              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.

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.
                My competition character just found a Ring of Free Action marked as {??} despite having birth_know_runes on; which I would guess is related to this.

                  If new rubble is created between the player and a monster, it doesn't break line of sight properly, and the player can still see the monster until he moves.

                    Items with +light both say "+x light" and "radius x light". Maybe remove the "+x light" line.

                      which files do i need to upload to show you a bug? it's the save plus one of the artifact files, right?

                      i have found a blade of chaos {??} that refuses to identify, even casting the spell.

                      here is the link : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9...WR0ZnpBTWhnQWM

                      WOHA .. if i try to sell it, the game hangs.

                        Yes, save plus the correct artifact file - probably the most recent one in your lib\user\archive directory, or possibly (if the game crashed) artifact.txt in lib\user.

                            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.

                                randart.log is just a record of the randart generation process. We need the file that contains all the randart definitions, like this:
                                Code:
                                name:of Galadriel
                                base-object:light:Phial
                                graphics:~:y
                                info:5:10:10000
                                alloc:40:5 to 100
                                power:0:1d1:0:0:0
                                flags:NO_FUEL
                                values:LIGHT[3]
                                act:ILLUMINATION
                                time:10+d10
                                desc:A small crystal phial containing the light of EƤrendil's Star.  
                                desc:Its light is imperishable, and near it darkness cannot endure.
                                but with Ningol in it.

                                The first line will be something like
                                Code:
                                # Artifact file for random artifacts with seed 0083c53f
                                but with a different seed.
