Hengband 3.0.0Alpha releases in Japanese & English - unofficial English build notes

[clouded]

Those are for devs to update by themselves. The hengband devs haven't seemed interested. Most of the changes going on seem to be code refactors, so it shouldn't affect the experience of players much.

I don't mean binaries obviously, I mean the same "always the latest" selection that other variants get on angband.live that doesn't require you to redo your prefs each new version. There are bug fixes like the slaying one.

[Gwarl]

I could maybe try and set up actual automatic nightly updates. I'll look into it.

Hengband 3.0.0Alpha57 has been released:

https://github.com/hengband/hengband/releases/tag/3.0.0Alpha57

Currently playing a Dunedan Monk of Life and getting 8 blows at CL50 for about 700 damage with slaying bonuses. Very fun! I just wish there wand/staff passive recharge and shop restocking.

Currently playing a Dunedan Monk of Life and getting 8 blows at CL50 for about 700 damage with slaying bonuses. Very fun! I just wish there wand/staff passive recharge and shop restocking.

Passive wand/staff recharge is for Magic-Eaters; IIRC, there should be a safe recharging facility available in a town, and a stack of fully charged wands/staves can get you through a dungeon dive session.

Is the inn available only at night in base Heng? That should restock the stores.

Hengband version 3.0.0Alpha59 has been released--just a few more fixes to breath weapons, which appear to have been a tricky problem as attempted fixes to them also featured in Alpha55 and Alpha57.

The release is here: https://github.com/hengband/hengband...g/3.0.0Alpha59

With a description saying (translations by Google) "For details on the updated contents, please compare below. This time too, there are a few refactoring embug at a slow speed."

Developer @deskull tweeted a similar message in his announcement https://twitter.com/deskull/status/1518232222356340738 , which translates as "3.0.0 Alpha 59 release with a stone statue of Mimic (Mimic (box) statue). The bug has been fixed at a low speed." He did indeed include an illustration of a Mimic statue:



The message accompanying the news on the Hengband site https://hengband.github.io/ translates as "It is a regular release. The main focus is on bug fixes and specification adjustments."

Translation of the brief build notes https://github.com/hengband/hengband.....3.0.0Alpha59 :

[Fix] Fixed a bug where breath penetrates a wall
[Fix] Fixed a bug that the attribute of gravity and disassembly breath becomes "unknown".

[smbhax]

Hengband 3.0.0Alpha60 has been released. The release page https://github.com/hengband/hengband...g/3.0.0Alpha60 says "This is an embug fix that has been postponed for a week."

Change list https://github.com/hengband/hengband.....3.0.0Alpha60 :

- Fixed a bug that the judgment of whether it was on the ground or not was reversed for the effect of * destruction * due to the invitation of emptiness near the wall.
- English: add comma and remove duplicated letter in birth screen reroll prompt.
- Fixed a bug that the restore number variable of the monster was not initialized.
- Fixed an issue where installation of libcurl4 failed and GitHub Actions did not work properly.
- Temporarily fixed the phenomenon that the killing correction was not given to the long handle / ax and blunt instrument (finally, the design needs to be reviewed: see # 2490).
- Debug mode o The command display was corrupted, so the line specification variable was corrected correctly.

[smbhax]

I'm going to be sticking to Vanilla for the time being, so I'll be out of the loop on Hengband and not trying to keep this thread up to date; if anyone else wants to update it, please feel free. : )

[Cryomaniac]

I should be able to provide updates for newer versions.

[Cryomaniac]

3.0.0.62 Changelog

I'll post the github changelog, easier to go there and use a translate browser extension if you can't read Japanese. Hopefully it's still helpful for people.

https://github.com/hengband/hengband/compare/3.0.0Alpha61...3.0.0Alpha62

I also made a subreddit for the game:

[Cryomaniac]

3.0.0alpha63 released: https://github.com/hengband/hengband...g/3.0.0Alpha63

Looks to be mostly code-related changes.

[smbhax]

Hengband is up to alpha 72. I haven't been keeping up but I'm tracking back to Alpha 63, as it happens, because it was in that version that they added added over 90 MB of optional dark fantasy music and sound effects. The music plays appropriate tracks at appropriate times (character creation, dungeons, death, etc), looping smoothly while you're exploring a dungeon floor or whatever.

The tracks are open source mp3s from opengameart.org, according to the readme. I initially started recording them just to upload to YouTube so I could check to make sure they don't trigger any copyright notices. They didn't! = D This recording of them was a bit thrown together so it's somewhat rough, but hopefully it may be useful to someone else too.

https://youtu.be/3HoSkNZRbNM

I'm thinking that I might use them as looping background music when playing Angband. : )

(I like the added sound effects too, they fit better and are less distracting than Angband's optional SFX. Could use a sound for digging though. : D)
