Pampl,
I tried compiling the latest 0.6 version on Mac, and I can't find reposband.h either. I tried checking both the .tar.gz file and the .zip file. Then I tried browsing the source files on github, and reposband.h doesn't appear to be there. Can you add it to source control and post a 0.6.1 version? Thanks!

0.6 is out.
I nerded out this weekend and spent the whole time programming. Now there are standard bearers for monster races (used to be called King monsters, but I don't like that title) whom you can supplant by killing. If you become the standard bearer you get permanent heroism and blessing. ATM hounds, basilisks and crystal/law drakes don't have a standard bearer they can beat. For red dragons it's Glaurung, for hydras it's the Lernaean Hydra, for trolls it's Rogrog the black troll, for Xs it's the King of Earth, for ghosts it's Tsekalus the dreadlord, for liches it's Vecna, for spiders it's Shelob, for angels it's Gabriel, and for Balrogs it's either Gothmog or the Balrog of Moria, I forget. For chaos drakes and GWoC it's a new unique who's native to dlvl 97 and looks pretty mean. Also, these race champions (as well as about 5-10 other uniques, a number I hope to increase*) have a 1/15 chance to drop an artifact that's fairly nice, or a 100% chance if they're your race's champion. Technically it's possible to kill your race champion twice, if you kill Glaurung before level 20 as a red dragon then turn into a chaos drake and kill your new standard bearer. You'll be guaranteed both artifacts, but the permanent heroism/blessing won't be doubled. They also don't stack with normal heroism and blessing. It'll probably be possible to 'double dip' with other combinations in the future, it's not something I really plan on preventing - it actually strikes me as kind of a neat challenge goal.
Minor changes: branding from non-weapon equipment effects innate melee, confusion attacks give more feedback, acid/disenchant can hit any of your slots instead of just the first of a given type, Umber Hulks now properly kill walls (though they do insist on stopping and opening doors before they eat them), some monsters from Pos and NPP ported over. (edit: also, super regeneration and poison immunity work now. Branding from EQ provides a better multiplier than innate branding so there's still a reason to wear that ring of flames even if you're a GHW)
This version isn't save compatible with previous versions. It's going to be the last update I release for a few weeks (besides any critical bug fixes) as I begin work in earnest on summoning.
Heehee, nice. How well did wielding two weapons work? I haven't done any work on that yet.
They do, but you've got a good point when you imply that PASS_WALL creatures should maybe not have the best stats. If I start getting complaints about the dread/xorn end-game being too boring and easy I'll bump them down some.
Nah, that was from when equipping was broken and any slot could be used for any item. ATM no one has multiple weapon slots, though Xorns and Xaren will have two once I implement multi-weapon combat. I'm not sure if they should also get multiple ranged weapon slots or how that would work.
I have no idea how the player manages to hold their light source, so I dunno what monster characters would ever be able to equip more or fewer light sources.
*I've got the Silmarillion on hold at the library, but I could always use the help of any Tolkien nerds for ideas and description writing.Last edited by pampl; January 9, 2011, 22:10.Leave a comment:

You have two weapon slots as a dreadbeing?
And i'm going to add : normal to wield slay foo as a foo?Leave a comment:

Race bonuses increase on level up, the lost soul starts with -5 to str dex and con I think, or something along those lines. Every time you evolve, your race changes, and so do your racial bonuses. It culminates to +6 str/dex/con at 45 or 50 when you hit dreadlord or dreadmaster.
I was able to compile it on Linux, but there were two problems for me:
1. reposband.h, for some reason I couldn't find it? It *was* in the zip but it didn't extract for some reason. I re-extracted it and all was well. I can say for sure it is in the .5.4.1 zip that he posted.
2. It kept looking for reposband.glade when it did the make install, if this happens to you, just create a blank file named reposband.glade in lib/xtra/ and it installs fine after that.
oh yeah, make sure you make clean, to delete the old windows .o files that trip up *nix toolchain.Leave a comment:

When building from github master on Linux, make keeps complaining about missing reposband.h header at the dependency generation stage. There is no such file in the repository, and I can't find anything that can generate it. Has anyone succeeded in compiling RePosBand on *nix?
Descriptions sound awesome, I'm eager to try it :-)
Ugh, isn't this too much for an immaterial undead creature? Or race bonuses increase with level-up?Code:Self RB STR! 18/100 +6 INT! 18/100 +3 WIS! 18/100 +1 DEX! 18/100 +6 CON! 18/100 +6 CHR! 18/100 -7

Neat, the wall change sadly makes lost souls *much* harder in the early game, thank goodness for !oilAwesome! I added that to a fix that makes CLW et al. work and display the same as they do in other places, and a hack fix for a bug that lets stuff be equipped in any slot, and uploaded it as version .5.4.1.
Oh, and an acquirement change is fixed now: it creates an item based on the max depth you've reached, and displays the item as being created on your current floor, instead of vice versa.

Here's a fix to this issue of being untouchable in walls adjacent to open floor:
in src/monster/melee2.c, function process_monster
This tells the monster to try to move into the wall if the player is there, which will cause the monster to attack the player. This could cause a problem maybe, if a non-attacking monster that CAN move tries, then it may occupy the same square as the player?Code:/* Floor is open? */ if (cave_floor_bold(ny, nx) || (ny == p_ptr->py && nx == p_ptr->px)) { /* Hack! if ny == py and nx == px then try to "move" */ /* This allows monsters to attack passwall players */ /* Go ahead and move */ do_move = TRUE; }
But its a quick hack and it works. So yay

Actually, I was wrong. using N for monster powers just makes you move... I'll investigate source for that.
So far awesome fun. Hounds are a blast, Angels too, but a bit hard at first. Can you change cure serious wounds to heal a % of hp like the spells / potions?
EDIT: Lost souls are fun, but a bit overpowered in the sense that you can melee anything while you are in a wall, and they cannot attack back. The other way around is the opposite, the player can melee attack any monster in a wall, if they are adjacent to the player.
The code about it is in melee2.c in the monster directory, still not 100% on how to fix it though.Last edited by Sirridan; January 8, 2011, 03:53.Leave a comment:

Thanks That's a weird bug with the repeat command key - I can't get it to repeat monster powers at all. Hopefully fixing my problem will also fix them not costing anything.
Github's at https://github.com/simongre/RePosBand.Leave a comment:

BUG: Hitting n to repeat a monster power does NOT drain mana. Playing hound, became a dark hound, and the darkness bolt/beam can be spammed forever hitting n.
Sides that, it's great, awesome job!
EDIT: What's the github again so I can keep current?Last edited by Sirridan; January 7, 2011, 23:58.Leave a comment:

Here's 0.5.4:
New feature: ?Acquirement and ?*Acquirement* won't drop equipment that your species can't use. They can still drop useless spellbooks, of course.
New races:
Crystal drakes: these guys breath shards and at level 25 can choose between becoming law drakes or great crystal drakes. The latter are initially stronger but law drakes eventually become great wyrms of law then great wyrms of balance and so have an easier end game.
Lost souls: all ghosts have the ability to pass through walls and eventually gain the ability to scare monsters, to blink and teleport, and to shoot nether bolts. They have normal slots and evolve every 5 levels, becoming more and more in-tune with the Negative Energy Plane until they turn into Dreads and eventually Dreadlords. They start out better at spell casting but become ferocious melee fighters.
Liches: you all know these guys. Their most annoying abilities -summoning, stat and charge draining - sadly don't work for player liches, but players do get a nice variety of utility spells with them. They basically play like spellcasters who start with decent melee ability and get no detection. When they evolve into their ultimate form (at level 45) they become completely incorporeal and gain the ability to travel through walls like a ghost.
Zephyr hounds: I ended up doing tiered progression with hounds. Every seven levels you select a new form from a list of 2-5, gaining all the resistances from the tier you were previously in. In the last tier you choose between access to all the breath weapons (the Aether hound) or being able to walk through walls (the Ethereal hound.. don't blame me for the names). All hounds can cheaply detect monsters and breath their own element as a bolt or a ball. A few hounds can breath associated elements - fire hounds can breath light, earth hounds can breath acid - at a higher cost. I'm not 100% attached to the way I've implemented these guys, so be free with feedback.
Angels: these work the same way the Ainur did in Pos but without the terrain modifying spells. Super munchkin-y priest warriors, in RePos their innate melee is a little less insane and their king monster will eventually be Gabriel, not Sauron.
Spiders: A WIP. They can't spit webs yet, but they do have 8 legs each of which can wear a shoe and a ring. They also have very, very few HP and some innate speed. At level 25 they choose between becoming phase spiders or araneas.
Umber Hulks: Also a WIP. They can wear normal equipment (except their claws are too big for gloves), pass through walls, and tunnel extremely quickly. Umber hulks lose their innate confusion gaze when they evolve, but they gain 2 extra arms which means two extra shields (eventually it will mean one extra shield and one extra weapon)
TODO:
*still have to fix the last few slots of a high-level hydra's EQ screen
*need to add code to allow "repeat command" to be used with racial powers
*need to change item wielding so it doesn't unnecessarily prompt you to select a slot when there's only one valid slot.. the code for this is already in there, it just doesn't work for some reason
*need to add more racial flags.. immunity to poison and super regeneration especiallyLeave a comment:

Ah, OK, then they don't need to be made weaker to compensate. I'm not sure whether gravity's phase door or nexus's pd/tele should be counted as positive or negative side effects - they make it take longer but generally safer to kill something. Here's my revised table:
Commonly resisted, damage loot, no side effects - 4 base elements - 6x plvl damage
Commonly resisted, don't damage loot, no side effects - poison, nether, dark(?) - 5x plvl
Uncommonly resisted, annoying side effects - chaos, nexus - 4x plvl
Uncommonly resisted, no side effects, damage loot - mana, shards, plasma(?) - 3.5x plvl
Uncommonly resisted, no side effects, no loot damage - dark(?), light, time, inertia - 3x plvl
Uncommonly resisted, powerful side effects, damage loot - sound, force, gravity, plasma (?) - 2.5x plvl
I'm assuming plasma, force and gravity stun monsters.
I can't quite claim that Pos is back online.. there are still big features in Pos that aren't in RePos, though that'll change over the course of January. ATM it's more of a companion to Pos, for when you can't live without all the niceties of the latest versions of Angband and are playing one of the races Repos supports.
Here's .5.3. 0.5.4 is set to come out tomorrow, and will include plenty of new races as well as some new minor features like ?Acq being changed so it won't drop EQ you can't wear.Leave a comment:
