Minor information leak. I've got an un-ided weapon I can't give to the weaponsmith. Presumably this means it's cursed & has a value less then 0.

You'd think so but thats not necessarily the case. For some reason the smith just won't take some perfectly good unID items.

It turned out to be a Lucerne hammer(+5, +4) with the poison curse

I think this is a known bug, and have added this case to it.

I'm having some targeting issues with lightning strike due to the way it strikes from above. Firstly it'll let me target a wall even though you can't wall splash. It just takes my mana & does nothing. Secondly I'm used to just pressing the direction if the target is in a straight line, this however targets the square next to me rather then the 1st monster in that direction.

For the latter it sounds like the default targeting mode is position rather than monster, which is a little odd. I don't think I can think of any other targeted effect that works that way.

Hmm, I might of been mistaken about the 2nd, it's confusing to work out what's happening from the animations unless you turn the delay right down.

Edit: Yeah I'm confused about what's happening other then it not behaving as I'd expect. I've just had it behave differently on 2 tests. Maybe it targets the square if the monster is out of range & the monster if it is in range? Don't know, I just seem to be getting 2 different behaviours.

Edit 2: The targeting on dragons seem out too. Either that or I got hit for 0 damage without immunities.

Lightning strike is a new type of targeting (meant to be coming from above rather than the player) and it still has a few bugs in it.

May want to do something about the fact I can actually target the other side of the level. Currently Druids = Gods

[fph]

Uh, so druid + telepathy = kill any monster from offscreen? I need to try this new class...

Targeting for breathe cones is definitely out. I some how didn't hit Sauron with Rivers of lightning despite him being marked as in Sight in the monster window. Get a lot of "it breathes" messages where I'm not being hit too.

OK, have added this.

New builds are up on the nightlies page. There are (probably) no bugs fixed, and likely some introduced; over the last week or two I have done a big structural rewrite with no gameplay change (for the interested, replacing co-ordinates with a single grid struct thoughout most of the code).

So not particularly exciting, but there it is. The exciting bit will be in the feature/monster thread soon.

Not sure if it's a bug or not, but bought a Lantern of True Sight from the Black Market with 7500 turns.. Read the description and it says:"refills other lanterns up to 15000" Bought a plain lantern to test, and sure enough filled the plain one with 15000 turns, then used the plain one to fill the Lantern of True Sight with 15000 turns of light and I'll be heading back down with that. Felt like Nien the Half Troll was really much smarter than an intelligence of 7 suggests.

[Derakon]

I'm pretty sure all that means is "lanterns can hold up to 15000 turns of oil, and lanterns can be used to refill other lanterns."

You could have also just bought a flask of oil and used that to fill your new lantern.

[swaggert]

I see! I was confused by the wording and the properties of the magic lantern.
