Current master post-4.1.3

[Nick]

Nick, did you recently make a change to targeting commands? It used to be that once in (*) targeting mode, the command (p) would center the target on @ and allow me to move it from there, but that no longer works as of at least today. The command (o) center on object still works, though it's a pain to have to move the cursor a lot farther. I did like the option of either.

That will be fixed in the next build. Moral of the story - don't always believe compiler warnings

• Upgrade to digging: the tunnel command automatically uses the best digger the player has in their pack if its better than what's currently in the weapon slot (at no turn cost)

Not sure this is significant, but one thing that has occurred to me is that the new improved digging renders curses on diggers trivial. Since you don't wield the digger, the curse doesn't come into play (I'm guessing).

I also want to add that this change has had one of the biggest impacts on my personal play style in the last ten years. I now am always carrying a digger. Thanks, Nick, for making inventory management one slot harder!!!

No more torch refilling (issue or bug?)

Hi,

I always used F to refill torches. But it seems I can't do it anymore. Is it intentional or a bug? Playing the latest nighly build.

Torches haven't been refillable for a while - when one runs out you just throw it away.

I hadn't thought about that - I think I'm fine with it, though. Glad you're using them more, that was the intent

After dying, angband.live doesn't start a new game UNLESS I press that delete&download savefile first. This also sets birth options back to default so I need to remember to change them every time now.

EDIT: Uh, regular save files don't load either

Found a bug in the latest nightlies (460). The game throws a parse error after launching a randart character for the second time. Line 7 in randart.txt I think.

Was it an existing character before the update? If so, me adding a new artifact might have done that. I can have a look at the save (and randart file) if you like.

I have tested with a new character. Here are the error message and the offending line.

Message:
>src/angband: Parse error in randart line 7 column 1.
randart.txt
>info:5:5:10000

The problem is that the artifact text format and the parser is updated in the recent change but randart text output routine (write_randart_entry) is not updated accordingly.

Oh, of course, thanks; I'll do a fix and get it out.

[Nick]

OK, fix pushed and building; I'll post on the prep for 4.2 thread (which is meant to replace this one as the "current issues" thread) when it's done.
