Current master post 4.2.0

[Nick]

Using my already existing Blackguard character with the new version. Is there still a chance of hitting multiple nearby enemies through normal melee or does that require the Whirlwind Attack spell?

Requires the spell now.

[Nick]

There are new builds up with a few bugs fixed.

[PowerWyrm]

Massive changes to blackguards, mainly by David Medley. They have a completely reworked spell list, and now *lose* mana over time but *regain it* from hitting monsters. Please check for balance and fun-ness

"Need more rage"
"Not enough rage"
"Need more rage"

I have noticed on several occasions that amulet of trickery got displayed diffently in the inventory list.
Example (from file dump):

s) a Ruby Amulet of Trickery <+4, +3, +7>
     Found lying on the floor in a vault at 4850 feet (level 97)
     
     +4 dexterity.
     +3 stealth.
     +7 searching skill.
     +7 infravision.
     +3 speed.
     Provides resistance to poison, nexus.
     Sustains dexterity.
     
t) a Ruby Amulet of Trickery <+4, +2, +7, +6, +3>
     Found lying on the floor in a vault at 4800 feet (level 96)
     
     +4 dexterity.
     +2 stealth.
     +7 searching skill.
     +6 infravision.
     +3 speed.
     Provides resistance to poison, nexus.
     Sustains dexterity.

I don't get it - why are there sometimes only three numbers and sometimes all five in the brackets?
It seems, when the values occur twice the game will only dispaly one of them.

Can we change the colour of white wands? Spotting a white dash in a sea of white dots isn't easy. Also a minor display issue, the speed indicator doesn't automatically update when hunger changes.

You got it

New builds are now up on the nightlies page and angband.live (source is here).

Mostly bugfixes, some tidying up after the blackguard changes, and some from backwardsEric to longer-standing bugs.

that's intended behaviour.
If you have a "ring of +2 to everything", then it will display as a ring +2.

In that case it makes some sense, but in case of the amulet you don't know which number referrs to which stat. That makes it difficult to compare them whithout looking at the details.
It doesn't make sense and is somewhat annoying.

Builds updated again to fix a couple of bugs.

How about making Scrolls of Satisfy Hunger also do what they used to do, i.e., correct a gorged status too? So, @ hunger meter would be set at 50% upon reading the scroll, whether that @ was below OR above that number before.

We might want to rename them - scroll of Digestive Equilibrium?

I like the name but I my brain tripped over the imagery of a Hobbit (or Elf/Dwarf/whatever) stringing the words "Digestive Equilibrium" together.

I suppose it's not as bad as "my axe embedded in his nervous system" but...

You can inscribe. I do this frequently, especially to remind myself of resistance swaps. Some variants have very verbose auto-inscription options, and I turn those on, but since vanilla is intentionally streamlined I don't think this option should make the cut.
