    "The door appears to be broken". This costs me a turn because I'm too lazy to look before trying to close it, I don't think it should.

      Another minor bug: Zapping an un-ided light rod while blind gives the "shimmering light" message but doesn't id.

      Interrupt seems to still interrupt for unseen corridors while blind (on the old version still on angband.live). Not sure that's a bug or not, it's perhaps logical? Just mentioning it because there may be a whole heap of funny interrupts if you run around blind.

        That doesn't sound like a bug to me. While running blind, I'd be skimming the wall with my hands and if I suddenly came to an open space, would want to know why.

          Just wanted to say how much I enjoy seeing the collaboration and development. Games come and go but this (and previously Moria) has been the only one to survive and get continually better going back to the days of my XT.

          I'm a "faint of heart grind it out" player so while I've not tried the nightly builds I have to say I'm extremely excited for the next milestone release.

          Thank you to you all.

            Resisting blindness when hit by the darkness spell does not identify the rdark rune

              !true sight currently doesn't cure hallucination. Might be a nice addition

                Another minor issue: if you squelch an empty staff while standing on a staff of the same type then pick up the new staff you end up with 2 staves. Better would be for the squelched staff to go to an adjacent square rather then stacking.

                  Is there an option to disable stacking of consumable magic items? Some way to break the -"only one charge left on my staff of magic mapping... blast... I just tripped over and picked up another staff with 8 charges, now I'm overweight but don't want to lose half of them"- scenario?

                    You could turn off the option for 'always pick up something if I've already got one', or whatever it's called.

                      Inscribing { the item with !g seems to work (at least for food rations), I haven't tested with a device. Note this isn't stopping it from stacking, it's stopping you from auto-picking it up. To prevent stacking inscribe the device in your inventory !g blah 1 & the device on the ground !g blah 2 etc.

                      Edit: Just to clarify the blah bit is unnecessary, the inscriptions just have to be different in some way

                        If you use auto-inscriptions, it's easier. Example:
                        I auto-inscribe my staffs of Identify with @Z1!k .
                        If it's near empty, i can change the inscription to (say) @Z1!k- .
                        When i pick up a new staff, it gets the default inscription, and doesn't stack with the modified one.

                          Thank you kindly. I'll take a shot at the inscription options for those. Can't believe it never occurred to me.

                            It's under User Interface Options. f) Always pick up items matching inventory.

                                I just spotted something while working on my variant. If you go to constant.txt and set starting gold to zero, each character will start only with their starting equipment. However, if you set birth_start_kit to false, you start... with nothing. Like a plain "pitiful-looking beggar". This feels wrong... For my variant, I calculate the value of the items you don't get when birth_start_kit is not set and ensure every character starts at least with that amount of gold, so they could buy the same starting kit or different stuff of equivalent value. Consider adding that to V as well.
