    Yes, I've finally found those hard biscuits to be useful.

    Admittedly, I do tend to restart to get a favorable town layout (i.e., home relatively close to the stairs) except in comps, if I were really worried about keystrokes, I'd just play ironman!

      Bug in the code -all uniques resurrected

      Hi all,
      Just playing the latest build, I had killed a whole bunch of uniques and exited the game for a while. Restarted the game, opened my character, and found myaself fighting someone I already killed (one of the stone trolls), Did ` so I could see a list of all the uniques my character knew of and all uniques are alive.

        Interestingly my player history shows all the unique kills.

          I can duplicate the problem at will. I created a new character, killed Maggot's 2 dogs on level 2. Exited and restarted the game. The list of uniques (via `) shows the dogs as alive. Player history shows both dogs dead.

            The last build (4b2e883bf) but one had this problem, but a fixed one (be48a3a47) was put up - I'm guessing you didn't get the fix. Let me know if I'm wrong; the new one is leaving uniques dead for me.

              You're right. I downloaded it on the 14th but somehow didn't get the latest and greatest

                New builds up on the nightlies page and angband.live with the following changes:
                • Fix to game-breaking bug when standarts were chosen following a randart game
                • Satisfy Hunger renamed to Remove Hunger, now brings player up to 50% fed but never reduces food level
                • Several new and interesting foods introduced
                • New option on death - "New Game" - which restarts the game without closing
                This last one is something which has been talked about forever and put off because of all the potential difficulties - all of which were cut through when sanedragon submitted a patch which just did it. There were still a few issues to sort out with exactly what was stopped and started again, but now it is I believe functional, although I have only tested it in Linux. I believe it still leaks a little memory, too, but only a little.

                Please let me know how all these things go.

                  Just got an odd error on Angband.live while trying to load my current game for Angband nightly build:

                  At the top of the splash screen:

                  "Error reading known item
                  Savefile corrupted -- Couldn't load block stores"

                  and at the bottom of the splash screen:

                  A list of 4 lines of items dropped (stuff @ dropped in his home last time I played), followed by this line:

                  "No object: 25:255 (scroll)"

                    Oops, sorry. I renamed "Satisfy Hunger" to "Remove Hunger" and this will break a savefile where Satisfy Hunger scrolls appear (and it looks like the Alchemist has some in your game).

                      Angband 4.1.3

                      Birth options:
                      Lose Artifacts when leaving level = yes
                      Show level feelings = yes

                      Program behavior:
                      Seeing in the character history that i missed out more than a dozens of artifacts just being CL20, DL around 20.
                      Watched the shown level feelings and noticed that i miss artifacts because they are not shown right away.

                      I consider that a bug.

                      I define the expected program behavior as:
                      If birth option lose artifacts = yes, then the level feeling has to be shown at once entering the level, IF there is an artifact generated on level creation
                      Blondes are more fun!

                        I wouldn't mind a change, but then also I don't have a problem with the normal delay before displaying the "$" indication of one or more artifacts.

                          Since delayed level feelings were introduced mainly for people playing with lose_artifacts=no, I'm inclined to agree. What do others think?

                            Seems reasonable. Though you can't guarantee the level feelings will always include artifacts on a level right? I just found a Phial on a 3-2 level in a locked chest. But I guess that wouldn't affect the level feeling if the Phial is only generated when you open the chest?

                              I think that special feelings are only for items generated on the ground. If they included monster inventories then you'd always be at risk for losing artifacts if a monster got generated with an artifact in-inventory the round you left the level. As for chests, I guess that's an implementation detail -- as you say, I don't think chests generate their contents before they're opened. Plus there's weirdness with chests being able to be destroyed without dropping their contents.

                                Isn't this going to encourage stair scumming? Might be ok with forced descent or with no connected stairs.
