Z+Angband 0.3.2 prerelease!

I had a crash this morning: I hit "Q" to request a quest from a town keep. As the game was describing the quest to me, an error window popped up:

Assertion failed:in_bounds2((x), (y))
in file maid-grf.c
on line 2052

I had the overhead map open in Term-1 and the monster list open in Term-2.

You should have the savefile still. Could you send it to me please?

I do have the savefile, but I was unable to reproduce the error when I tried to request the same quest again. Let me know if you'd still like the savefile. I just don't think it's going to be much help in this instance.

Hm. It won't be much help to get a savefile if it won't reproduce the error. If you are ever able to recreate it, though, I'll take a look.

I encountered a random unique in the wilderness who was obviously based on the Novice Mage monster type. However, the gender of the unique (female) did not agree with the description of the novice mage ("He is leaving behind a trail of dropped spell components..."). You might want to ensure that all random uniques are generated which the same gender type as their base monsters, since you never know when the description will contain a pronoun.

Eh. I'll live with it. I have a vision of eventually making random uniques have special monster descriptions, and then the problem will go away on its own.

Here's a few minor omissions I found while browsing _info.txt.

R:901:Adunaphel the Quiet is male, and yet described as "A sorceress in life..."

K:113 no description (armor).
K:520,522,523 (reflection, anti-teleportation, resistance) no description. Are these amulets?
K:564 (The Incandescent Globe of Sawall) no description.
K:578,579 (skeleton, corpse) no description.

Any luck on the Vista term issue?

I received a quest to find the relic 'Gurthang' (danger level 55) in a mine. I found the mine and started diving. Unfortunately I hit bottom at dungeon level 47. I've cleared level 47 three times now without finding Gurthang, and there are no more down staircases.

Is this artifact completely unobtainable because the dungeon doesn't go deep enough?

Set the "dungeon_abyss" option to Yes and you'll find more stairs.

Sorry, I thought the game was checking for that.

There won't be for at least a couple of months. Until then you'll have to make due with 6 extra windows.

Whenever I read a scroll of Weapon Branding, the scroll does not disappear. Is that intended?

No problem, I'll just have to remember to close them before quitting Z+.

For clarification: It happens with ANY terms open, not specifically 7. That was just what I initially thought.

I verified that if I never opened terminal #7 at all things seem to work okay; you can leave 6 open and run the game again, and it works fine. But if you want to use #7, perhaps you're right.

Definitely not. Will be fixed in the 0.3.2 stable version.
