FAangband 2.0.1

[Sideways]

This is the special level where the Edain camped. The square immediately east of @ seems glitched, it acts like a wall but appears black on the map and is marked as an unknown grid.

[Sideways]

Currently on another special level (battleground of the elements); and room areas are not treated as rooms for the purposes of illumination.

Yes, that's because the whole level is treated as a big vault. You could regard this as a bug, I guess, but it would take some fixing.

I will get to some of the other cascade of bugs arising from the competition before too long, too

Thanks, it was a space instead of a dot in the template. The room code really should handle that situation more gracefully.

EDIT: On looking at the code, it seems like it ought to be handling it gracefully. Will check.

EDIT2: OK, I get it now.

Another destruction-related save-corrupting crash, this time caused by Quaker hitting @. (This is not a direct continuation of the save from before, just another character with the same name.)

I also had the game give me "gruesome software bug" messages on ^X earlier (not on this level), although there was no visible problem in those cases besides the error message appearing.

OK, should be fine. This bug is possibly fixed in development now - by backwardsEric, of course.

Great, thanks.

Randart discovery listings in the character history seem a bit buggy. I'm listed as discovering the Leather Sandals Golad twice, once when I actually discovered them and again when I took them off (or dropped them at home?); and for the Gloves Luinast the actual discovery isn't listed at all, the only listing's for when I took them from my home and threw them away.

The description for the Staff of the Winds' activation is also buggy (either that, or the activation itself is), it lists a radius-2 ball of force and a radius-6 ball of... unlisted?

Yes, the description code wasn't ready for "ball of teleport"

I'll start with 2 cosmetic issues:

There's no easy way to see specialties on character dumps without looking through the history.

It's not clear looking through the command list that +(alter grid) is the trap setting command.

[Sideways]

RFE: pressing Enter at the recall prompt should ask for confirmation before overwriting any existing recall point in the a) slot. (Overwriting existing recall points in other slots is probably fine, since it implies the player's picked a specific slot.)

The monster description for Roy VI, the Mummy has bad formatting; it says "It may fire small bolts (14)It may cast spells which terrify or blind".

Town depths are now marked with the ' feet sign in the character history.

[Nick]

Character history shows places in the latest nightly version.
The formatting issue looks like an edge case for player ghosts.
Good idea about the recall slots.
Specialties are now in the dump.
Good point about trap setting.
Staff of Winds is now (kind of hackily) fixed.
I'm hopeful that the change to character history may fix the randart finding issue.
The two-handed etc properties are fixed now.
Not sure about the thing with Ibun, I'll have to look into it.
Shop entrances are fixed now, I believe.
Haven't checked monsters speaking on detection yet.
I think the curses/resists/vulnerabilities thing is accounted for?

This was as much for my benefit as anyone else's

[Sideways]

Ran into a vampire who looks and acts like a player ghost, but doesn't have a name (it's listed as ", the Vampire"). I also did not get any challenge message upon entering the level.

[Nick]

I am now hopeful that all the issues in this thread are resolved, although I'm a bit dubious about the curses/vulnerabilities issue, and I'm very reluctant to believe player ghosts are actually fixed.
