Why not simply replace 'natural creature' with 'animal'? So Ungoliant becomes an 'evil animal' instead of 'natural evil creature'. Or perhaps 'intelligent evil animal.'

Isn't that because of insects?

[Derakon]

Insects are animals.

[Pete Mack]

@Derakon--
So are spiders and centipedes. But they aren't insects.

[Voovus]

Insects are animals.

Apologies. I meant to say mushrooms and molds.

[fph]

Are Huorns and Ents animals?

[Pete Mack]

Molds and jellies are unaffected by slay animal.

Yes that works. Makes the slay correlation more clear.

[wobbly]

Are Huorns and Ents animals?

They are not. Neither are manticores, even though griffin/hippogriff and hydra are. Naga aren't though, so I guess manticore are consistent with naga.

Crash after restart without quitting

With the latest nightly version on OS X, I get a segmentation fault when I start a new game without quitting after a previous character died. The previous character had a manually inscribed object in the inventory. The call stack up to play_game() at the point of the crash was:

_platform_strcmp
quark_add
rd_item
rd_gear_aux
rd_gear
savefile_load
play_game

The attached patch, to reset the number of quarks in use in quarks_init(), seems to be sufficient to prevent the crash.

On Win10 my app also crashes in this spot. Sometimes I scum for a town with good building placement. The first dozen times it lets me restart just fine. But after a while it crashes. Also, any character that I've played for a while causes this crash when restarting after death. Not too inconvenient, since I can open a new instance and load the dead character's file just fine.

I just noticed that daggers have been increased to 150 gold, yet main guaches are still 84. Shouldn't they cost at least 184 or 200 gold? Rapiers are still 104 gold.

I believe this is because daggers are now also throwing weapons.

Wooo! Technically a contributor now I hope to add more fixes that are less trouble than they are worth.

Changing the font size in main window causes an immediate crash on OSX. Resizing windows also causes crashes. Let me know if you need more details or I can file a bug.
