Bugs and issues in 4.1.0

That mouse movement caused crashes, so it's gone.

Aww, really? What a bummer. Always worked so well for me.

Really? When did that happen?

[Sky]

before 4.1.0, back when i had my first winner. maybe december?
almost constant CTD with mouse movement, so much so that i had to get used to quicksaving before any mouse movement.

honestly, i thought that is why it's not in the game anymore. it's a shame, because i don't have a tenkey and therefore i always need to switch to mouse when moving sideways.

Current master is now fairly bug-free; I think the current outstanding issues are:

• These filed but unfixed bugs;
• Possible changes to persistent levels (recall, monster regeneration);
• Maybe an examination of mouse movement.

So my plan is to release 4.1.1 once those are dealt with. Anything else I've missed?

This is obviously linked to the persistent levels option, but if i rest long enough i can run out of light from permanent light sources. Only happens when i go back to DL0, and it can revert back and then happen again.

Just to confirm, has the issue with rubble been addressed? I never did file a bug on it on that bug tracking site you linked (I didn't know it existed!). If so, how does rubble now behave?

Yes, it's fixed. The way it works is that spells can hit monsters in the first layer of rubble, but no further. It was already like this for the player.

So casting a fire ball at the troll will hit it but leave the centipede unharmed, as will casting at the grid in fornt of the troll.

Awesome! Thanks, Nick!

[Nick]

Actually I should clarify - it's fixed in development. The fix will be in the next nightly build.

No idea if this is a bug or feature. Tarrasque breathes fire, then cold then disenchantment. @ doesn't take any damage from disenchantment. Player tries to figure out why for ages until he decides to press "l" and get "You are standing in a rubble." message. Not the passable version, the normal one.

[Nick]

New builds up on the nightlies page with the following changes:

• Monsters can be hit by spells in passable rubble
• Known cursed items are labelled as such in stores (#2047)
• Store prices are more reasonable (#2049)
• Monsters no longer "look confused" (etc) when the player is blind
• Curse removal menu has more information about the player's chance of success

It wasn't quite obvious from dredging through the old topics:

Was the removal of the old detection border something that fell out during the traps reworking and never got re-implemented, or was it deliberately purged as an act of design?

What, lanterns were perfectly reasonable at a couple thousand gold.

Nick absolutely HATES the trap detection line, so he removed it during trap reworking. I always found the reasoning, though, a bit flimsy and wish it were back as a user option. Sigh...
