Very minor display bug (apologies if it's already noted) - on items with a lot of properties (a stack of 3 HA spears, for example - ta, Boldor), the item properties won't fit on a 'normal' size main window when IDed, and pressing any other key takes you out of the ID screen, instead of, say, scrolling down...

Sorry if these have been reported:
Autoroller - S doesn't simply restart any more (is that a feature rather than a bug?). Seems to be Esc now.
Can't use cursor keys on spec screen.
Fire object using right cursor key fires it down!
Buying objects 'all' should equate to as many as you can afford if you can't afford all.
I couldn't look at a mimic potion without resorting to targetting via the 'o' key which is possibly related to...
Targetting does 'strange stuff' when trying to use cursor keys to move between selections.
I just found some excellent armour. Wore it and then tried to access char screen ('C') and the game crashed with a memory exception. Hadn't saved to that point so was very annoying.Comment

This version was in some ways not as ready as I would have liked, but I thought it was worth getting the gameplay changes out to get some idea of how much rebalancing was needed. Keep the damn bug reports coming.One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

Firing up and down is fine with cursor keys.
Firing right fires down but...
Firing left fires vaguely SE but below the diagonal! Very strange.
I've just fired up 023 to compare and that works fine (this is all on XP btw)Comment

OK, that's really annoying. I had some memory issues with the 'C' screen, but thought they were pretty much sorted; I suspect it's something to do with the way I've imported big chunks but not all of the V file/memory handling stuff. I guess the workaround is to save before hitting 'C'Comment

OK, the morning brings fresh perspective.- For the firing thing, try activating the lib/pref/font-win.prf file - I disabled it by renaming it font-win.prfx so as to avoid the invisible walls problem in Vista, but forgot to tell anyone...
- The crash bug still has me beaten. It appears to be a memory handling issue with the windows port; I have a couple of ideas that I'll check out later today.
- While you're in testing mode, does (a) picking up a bunch of extra items or (b) setting a subscreen to display the extra player info cause a crash?

OK, I've tested in XP and am getting exactly the same problems - firing weirdness, craching at the same places. Tried recompiling it in XP - still the same. None of these happen in Vista (although it does crash on exiting). I'll try and work out what's gone wrong and do a new compile...

Run native Linux app on Linux, and fix Windows-specific bugs. That's the beauty of it. Also make sure you have debug symbols in - the backtrace you describe looks like it was made on a binary that's stripped.See the elves and everything! http://angband.oook.czComment

[Goes away and checks this is the case, finds that it isn't and locates bug]
OK, thank you everyone. I will fix this (and some of the other bugs I've found while I'm at it) and get the fixed version out in the next couple of days. The bug was not windows related - I was simply trying to look at entry -1 of the notes array. This also explains the latest occurrence of Nowhere Town...

Bugfixed versions of FAangband 0.3.0 (source and windows port) are now available here. OS X port hopefully available soon, WinCE port available when I can work out what's wrong with it as it is.
Bugs fixed include the notes bug which was causing crashes and other weird behaviour, arrow scrolling in the specialty menu, initialisation bug which was making vaults generate incorrectly (if you're just copying the new executable over the old one, removing lib/data/vault.raw will make sure this is fixed), monsters speaking in tongues.
Bugs not fixed include dodgy bonus updates (ctrl-R to refresh the screen if you think your speed may be displayed wrong), occasional placing of the player in a wall when entering a river level, arrow keys giving unexpected results for firing and throwing in Win XP (this has me baffled; currently I'm blaming a pref file issue, as usual).
Probably worth mentioning too that the file lib/pref/font-win.prf has been renamed to font-win.prfx because loading it in Vista makes walls display as blanks; if you're using an earlier version of windows (a) congratulations and (b) remove the x from the end of the name and you'll get block walls back again instead of #s.
Current plan is that the next thing I release will be 0.3.1, which will have all the menus converted properly, low level code base (I hope) more uniform and stable, better terrain handling, and maybe some overhauling of the monster list (notably dragons). But if there are any more showstopper bugs, let me know and I'll do another bugfix.One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
