Bugs and issues in 4.1.1

[kandrc]

OK, new builds up with the following fixes:

• Band of & Band~ description finally fixed

Was this a general fix, or was it specific to "Bands"? I ask because I have also observed the same issue with necklaces or pendants or some such neck jewelry.

It was general - and also introduced new problems, by the looks.

Not sure whether you intended to also reduce the Infravision bonus down to 50 from 125. Unlike Stats, I can see an argument for leaving the infravision bonus at the higher number, given Morgoth's uncanny ability to "see" across the entire dungeon level.

Isn't infra limited to vision range anyway? In this case, anything past +20 is meaningless...

as soon as i try to look at my starting dagger, i get a crash.

Inspecting any weapon or digger crashes the game. I don't see anything wrong in the code, except maybe using an uninitialized state in obj_known_digging() when calling calc_bonuses().

I am wielding a weapon with a weak lightning brand and am wearing a cloak with an acid brand that does more damage than my weapon's lightning brand, yet when I strike The Baphomet Lord with my weapon, the message I get is that I zap him, not dissolve him.... He does not resist acid, so not sure why I wasn't dissolving him?

I just had the same thing against Castamir the Usurper: zapping him instead of dissolving him. He does not resist acid or lightning. I'm playing the dec 1. Nightly version.

awesome. Will my savegame work with the latest nightly? Can I update my angband and continue playing with my save?

[Sky]

..it should ...
Move over the randart file and your save.

All versions of angband look in the same place for my saves and randarts. Nevertheless, I loaded up the newest version of V and loaded my save but I'm still zapping instead of corroding Charcharoth.

as i remember, Nick said he had it fixed. that's all i can tell you.

I just edited artifact.txt to give Dethanc a weak lightning brand and Tuor an acid brand and tried that combo on Farmer Maggot: you "zap". So yes I can confirm this bug.

Keeping Tuor with acid brand, I now equip Sting (slay animal + slay evil + slay undead + slay orc) and try the combo vs a squint-eyed rogue: you "smite" (slay evil is triggered). So it seems slay/brand on weapon takes priority over off-weapon slays/brands, even if they are stronger.

[Grotug]

Thanks PowerWyrm. But I guess it will corrode Sauron since he resists everything else my weapon does? I have a high dice weapon at home waiting for maximum attack with my 'cloak of corrosion'.

Yep, that's it.

angband-4.1.0-86-g5766a6b9, the level at which i recall seems to be completely arbitrary. from DL32 back to DL13.

yes, i do pay attention to the "set recall" message.
