Bugs in 4.2.0

[dionysian]

Carrying the phial, so I should have light... but in the town, I've got light 0 unless I'm standing adjacent to a shop entrance. This has happened before, but I'm not sure what causes it.

edit: This was happening during the day. I rested in town until the sun fell, and then the behavior went back to normal.

This was changed a little while ago (3.0.? or thereabouts) so that lights are effective unequipped during daylight in the town

This was done because otherwise when you appeared in the town you had to remember to unequip your torch or lantern to stop it wasting fuel, and then remember to equip it again when you entered the dungeon. It just helped to streamline things

It obviously extends to permanent light sources as well. But that seems reasonable?

[dionysian]

That makes sense, except for the inability to read scrolls or browse/cast spells in broad daylight.

[wobbly]

Quick question, is persistent levels on or off? The last person to hit this bug was playing with persistent levels on. Your light is off because its daylight but for some reason the town level hasn't illuminated properly.

[wobbly]

Yeah I can reproduce this pretty easily. At least with persistent levels on. Go to the general store buy a bunch of food rations. Go down the stairs & rest on the up stairs until its night. Go up stairs. The level is still lit even though its night. Alternatively if you repeat this, except you wait till night to go down the stairs then when you come back up its still dark, even though its day.

[wobbly]

lava still burns you on the turn you tele-level

[dionysian]

I posted about this in a separate thread, but didn't get any response. I'm considering it a bug because it gives the player nearly game breaking unearned information...

Using persistent levels, upon leaving a level, artifact knowledge (using the ~ screen) is updated with any artifacts that were generated. The player didn't have to explore any of the dungeon or get an item feeling for the level. You can literally enter a level, go right back up the stairs and check if there is any artifact to go back for. It's a bit scummy to act on that knowledge, but it seems like the kind of thing that should be hidden from the player anyway.

[Nick]

OK, bug filed for persistent levels issues, I'll try and fix them faster than they crop up...

I don't know if this is the proper form for this specific type of post, but twice under 4.2 I've had my application just up and die. I didn't catch the crash report from the first one but I have for this, so here it is in all it's glory. If posts of this length belong elsewhere, I apologize:

Reporting like this here is great.

I'm pretty sure this is the problem with the block fall trap, which basically always crashes the game when it is triggered. When you opened the game again, my guess is that there was a wall where you had just hit a trap.

The bug is fixed in development, but thanks for reporting it anyway.

[DavidMedley]

Pretty minor, but while transformed I became confused and pressed "m" to revert. It said "You are too confused!" I panicked for a second until I tried another turn-back-to-original form command q and that worked fine. Still, if "m" is the standard un-shapeshift key it should work anytime you can return to your normal form.

Tap unlife can't seem to target off screen monsters even if they are in LOS. This occurred in a vault with a vampire lord 0 W 14 S, unobstructed los, seen by telepathy, marked as seen in the subwindow & happily casting spells at me. From memory the target nearest command has the same problem if the target is offscreen.

Yes, apostrophe also won't work if the target is off-screen. Quite vexing at times.

If a shovel of earthquakes is in inventory but not equipped, no earthquakes occur when digging even though you get the shovel's digging bonus. Uncertain whether this was intentional.

[Pete Mack]

Gg
Shovel of quakes can't actually cause earthquakes. It takes at least a pick, and it generally requires a *GREAT* hit in melee.
