      I killed my summons to get them to cough up the goods. There might be other ways but that's the only one I know that works.

        Another question, related to familiars, but unrelated to bug-report, Mushroom... how would one place a familiar after assembling it?

          I'm unsure exactly what you mean by placing a familiar after assembling it. If you mean getting your allies or summons to go or do what you want, I can offer this...

          I used the mouse and clicked on the screen where I wanted my allies/summons to go, but you can give them some complex behaviors...

          If you get to the battle of the five armies, and perhaps other places?, you get a helpful message that explains how to control allies. You can find that entire dialogue as the file dungeon26.txt, which is located in the lib\info folder. Or, you can just read it here since I copied it. Once you get any help message you can always read them again using ~8.

          === Commanding your troops ===

          Most honoured general,

          I have hand-picked a select group of your finest warriors from
          your homeland with which to fight alongside you in this, your
          hour of need. If you find you are in a bad position or the
          troops inadequately provided for when you first arrive at the
          battle, you can depart, and I will endeavour to supply you with
          better forces.

          In general, the troops you command will follow you and fight
          intelligently when you are nearby. Archers and spell casters
          will stand off of targets and bombard them with spells and
          arrows. However, archers and spell casters will take a guide
          from your current position, and move towards that position if
          they are too close to the target. This may mean they foolishly
          follow you into battle. Target a grid to hold, as I outline
          below, in order to avoid this.

          Your troops will take also take lead from targets that you
          specify, as follows:

          If you specify a monster target, your troops will move towards
          that monster if they are not engaged in direct combat. Archers
          and spell-casters will keep a distance from the target.

          If you specify a race of monsters, using the 's' key while
          targetting, your troops will preferentially target that race
          against all others, ignoring other targets and direct combat
          if they can see one of the race you specify.

          If you specify a grid target, your troops will move towards
          that position and hold it if they are not engaged in direct
          combat. Archers and spell-casters will also move up to the
          position: you can use this to specify your archers and spell
          casters stay back while you engage in melee with the enemy.

          You can also specify a grid position with the 'a' key, whilst
          targetting. This will cause your troops to assault the target
          grid. Troops in an assault will disregard nearby combat in
          favour of attacking monsters near the grid that you are
          assaulting. Archers and spell casters will also seek out
          targets near the grid that you are assaulting, but will
          prefer to move back towards your position if they are too
          close to the target in question.

          Once you have specified a grid target, either to hold or
          assault it, your troops will continue to prefer that
          location. To cancel the orders, you must either specify
          another target, or hit the Escape key whilst targetting. At
          that point they will begin to follow you again.

          As always,

          E.
          You are on something strange

            You 't'ake the item off the monster (just like you take an item off from your equipment to your inventory).

              Just to clarify: there's a spell which summons a familiar which works slightly difference from these constructed monsters which you are assembling, which is why people are getting slightly confused about what you're talking about when you're saying familiar.

              I think 'assembled monsters' is the right term to use.

                  Coupla quick ones.

                  1. I'm playing a Maia Artisan. Her height is -5'-2. (This is kind of fun to think about.)

                  2. When I set a trap using a flask of oil, I can disarm it and get back a flask of acid.

                  Carry on ...

                    Also, the shrieker mushroom patches appear to have a case of laryngitis ... haven't heard a peep out of any of them lately.

                        Windows can't run git natively? Huh, I knew that git was used mostly by (and thus geared towards) open-sourcey folks, but I also know that there are Windows versions of git available, such as TortoiseGit...
                        You read the scroll labeled NOBIMUS UPSCOTI...

                          Admittedly I've not looked at Git on Windows in detail... but I suspect it'd need to be command line git + ruby to support svn2git. It looks like it is possible to do it using Cygwin, but it turns out it is just easier to ask nicely

                              Not sure where to post this since Berlios is apparently shutting down, but I'm getting a divide by zero error which is crashing the game whenever I kill a monster in Endoras. It doesn't happen all the time, but happens often enough to be somewhat reproducible. Here's my savefile: 117crash (Happens most of the time if I go to the right and kill one of the shamans.)

                              (On Mac OS 10.7) Crash report:

                              EDIT: This is in version 064b, though the title screen still says 063.

                              EDIT: Other random stuff as I find it:
                              - When I drop a bag of holding in my house, it says "You have nothing I want inside the bag."
                              - The prereq for Radiant Blow is Light Area, but seems like Call Light should work as well.
                              - If I have an item that can go in a bag in my inventory, and then walk over that bag, I can pick it up to exceed my inventory space. Example, if I have a full inventory including a mushroom of cure cuts, and walk over a bag of helpful mushrooms, I pick up the bag automatically, despite not having room for the extra bag slot. The inventory display is bugged after this, and it stops displaying the quiver etc.
                              - Ungoliant has both MALE and FEMALE flags
                              - The 15-head hydra's description says "A strange reptilian hybrid with four heads", oddly enough.
                              - Reading a scroll of Escape, gives a "undefined spell 60" error.

                                I came across crashes at Edoras too, but on characters from like a year ago, and I play on an XP. I only noticed crashes at Edoras if I went straight there, like, as fast as possible skipping everything on the way. I don't know if that info would help or not but I thought I'd throw it out there.
