FAangband 0.3.0

[Nick]

OS X port available now.

Don't be so stingy: Version numbers are for free. A bugfix to 0.3.0 should be labeled 0.3.1, even when the first released 0.3.0 should have been rc1 or so.

Thanks for your work!

True, and I thought of doing that. Things that stopped me included (a) the changes of version number would have required more editing than the actual bugfixes and (b) it would have made it harder to pretend that nothing had gone wrong.

Racial ability "shadow" still list "vulnerability to bright light" on the specialities screen for Dark Elves.

Dunno if it has been reported for that screen already or if it was some other:
Standard arrow keys do not, numpad arrows keys do work there.

It was the specialty choosing screen it was reported (and I fixed) for; this one still actually needs numbers to scroll.

That was why 3.0.9 was going to be 3.0.8fix. Luckily I was steered away from that madness by ajps.

Right. I'll let my brother know he dropped the ball on this one...

Anyone found a ring of XY that actually does give a resistance bonus, not some vulnerability? Even the black market only offers me rings with negative modifiers ?! Or do I have to wait until past Clvl 25 or so to get a basic "ring of fire protection"?

I have found rings of both Resist Fire and Protection with positive resistance - I think all resistances on a ring of protection should be positive if the armour class is, and negative otherwise.

Has anyone had a problem killing Mim the Betrayer with the latest version on XP? I crash every time. I know that there were memory issues earlier, but I thought that Nick had fixed those.

I have played a paladin and a necro both to that point. Both have specialized (which I suspect may be part of the problem). Until this is fixed I'll probably start another, not specialize and try to get to Mim and see if that is indeed the problem.

Does the crash happen on killing Mim, or on trying to take a specialty?

[Eke]

It happens on killing him.

[Nick]

It happens on killing him.

Right. What happens if you try to load that savefile again? If you have a relevant savefile, you could email it to me - the address is on the credits screen.

Off topic: Nick, I'm just rewriting your memap.txt map of Middle Earth from FA 0.3.0 to use in UnAngband (wip7c, I hope). I assume you do not mind?

Cheers,

Hell, no. Go for your life.
