[Un] Unangband 0.6.2-wip7e has been released

[thorgot]

I'm having the same problem with ignoring corpses. This started happening when I updated to (the windows version of) .627e, and continued when I just switched to the linux version. The character file is quite old. I'll see if it is fixed with a new character file.

I didn't realize "or you can treat the symptoms" meant the disease would be cured if I treated all the symptoms.

Any suggestions to make this clearer?

It's one of those things which is very obvious to some people but not to others, and seems like it should have been obvious to me now that I've experienced it. If you want to make it clearer, changing it to something like "or you can cure it by treating the symptoms" would work.

Unlockable races are in - you can unlock them.

Well, then I report a bug: for me the races are always unlocked --- they are greyed out, but I can always choose them.

Hmm, even on Linux? You mean, you have to answer y/n every time you walk over them? If so, could you attach a savefile?

Here you go.

I'm not sure what races are supposed to be locked. I see a full list of white named races to pick from no greyed out ones and they are all selectable.

Windows port latest binary release. Running under Vista.

Do you have birth_advanced to yes? If so, they're all unlocked...

Heh, I had no idea the races were supposed to be locked - I just thought they were "recommended only for advanced players" because of their quirky stat/skill/resistance penalties! I'm playing on Vista and some races are white and others are grayed out, but all are selectable... I don't *think* I get a prompt when selecting a grayed-out one, but I could be mistaken...

How the heck do you unlock a race anyway? :P

Arendil, thanks for the report and persistence. thorgot, thanks for the savefile.

The problems with corpses pickup is probably fixed in SVN now. But options are the root of all evil, so quite probably I've introduced another error in the process .As a temporary work-around, try disabling easy_floor (the culprit) --- at least in mine and thorgot's savefiles the problem then disappears.

You kill it.

Unlockable races came about because I couldn't be bothered writing the help file for each race... some people like it, so it's staying in

Unfortunately, this is a perfectly permissable set up now...
If you have a copy of the save file, could you back it up, open up the backup and run the Ecology debug command (^A, E)?

Savegame attached ...

Just a little note:
The styles help page (when choosing a style you hit the '?' key), there is an error:

"Note to Angband players: [...] that the Vanilla [...]"

I think it should read:
"Note to Angband players: [...] than the Vanilla [...]"

[Bandobras]

Thank you, fixes in SVN.

This is quite a popular mistake. I've tried to find programs that detect it, but failed. Actually it shouldn't be so hard --- and adjective followed by "that" is most of the time a signal of error, I think.

Is the spell Bridge of Stone supposed to do something? I've tried it on chasm, most types of water, and bridges, and It has had no effect. Am I using it wrong?

[Bandobras]

Well spotted. That was broken, due to jealous care not to id the wand if used on a normal floor. Fixed in SVN now.
