[Sideways]

I've been thinking about revising some of the old town uniques in Frog, the references to turn-of-the-millennium Japanese politics are getting a bit dated. Nick the Butcher would fit in well, I think. You could supply your own lines and description

You should write a bot that scrapes things I've written on the forum. Bonus points if you can pick the most sanctimonious and passive-aggressive stuff

Unless I hear something dramatically to the contrary, I'm planning to pull this branch into master over the weekend. That doesn't mean monster changes are finished or can't be reversed, it just means that on the whole this branch has been going sufficiently in the right direction that it can become mainstream. It also means I can get back to fixing bugs in master, pull in some pending pull requests, etc.

Did a few runs of the early levels. Not sure it's intended but I'm seeing a fair bit more out of depth monsters on dlvl 1. Notably a spotted mushroom patch (dlvl 3), a metallic red centipede (dlvl 3). A bunch of soldiers & acolytes, a crow, a pack of cave spiders, a kobold. Not saying that's a bad thing, but as far as I can tell the early levels got a little more dangerous?

[Derakon]

Huh, I'd always thought that dlvl1 was locked by the OOD rules to only be able to pull monsters that were native to level 1. Like, I don't think I've ever seen Grip or Fang on level 1.

[wobbly]

Not sure about 4.1.3 but it happens in master just not to this extent. I've seen the dogs on lvl 1 before & I've certainly seen kobolds.

Note that Ogre Mages do not reflect the new color scheme for mage types. The same was true for gnome mages before their removal.

Thanks - note that the replacement for gnome mages are drúadan mages, and they are coloured correctly.

As for DL1 - I done nothin, guv'nor. I think.

Not so fast cobbler, we got you bang for rights.

"A dwarf of the east, dressed all in black..." - Shouldn't this be dressed all in pink?

name:Dark elves

room:1

alloc:1:30

obj-rarity:0

mon-base:humanoid

flags-req:HURT_LIGHT

I'm going to guess that this generates an empty room.

Shagrat, the orc captain is frozen to the spot
Shagrat, misses you. hits you …
You see shagrat, the orc captain (wounded, held, disenchanted, stunned)

hmm doesn't seem held.

[Derakon]

I thought holding just prevented movement? It's not paralysis.

[wobbly]

He moves as well

[wobbly]

/* One in __ chance of missing turn if stunned, always miss if held

	 * or commanded */

	if (mon->m_timed[MON_TMD_STUN]) {

		return randint0(STUN_MISS_CHANCE) == 1;

	} else if (mon->m_timed[MON_TMD_HOLD] || mon->m_timed[MON_TMD_COMMAND]) {

		return true;

	} else {

		return false;

	}

Looks fishy to me. Stunned + held gives a chance to move right? or am I misreading

If it returns true the monster's turn is skipped, so this shouldn't be the problem. I'll have to look at your save.

This branch has been merged into master now, so new there will be no new builds on the build page; builds of master will as usual be on the nightlies page.
