FAangband 1.4

**Arralen** · December 17, 2013, 21:08

Now things are getting ugly:

I found that the game showed 2-sqaures radius for r.o.l. when and only when I used it this situation:

Code:

  # #
  #*#
  #*####
  #@**
###/####
  **#
#####

So I tried to do a screenshot .. and looked for the dump option. Confusing variants, I thought I might have seen it on the "C"haracter screen ... only to find out that the "good" leather gloves I just picked up from the floor (Dlvl23) where in fact ... Cammithrim!

They showed up as found in the log without being properly identified!

Even worse, I remembered the cmdlist.txt and found ")" for doing a dump. Chose "t"ext dump and had a nice crash on -more- prompt ... and an empty dump file, and no more Cammithrim ...

I also had scrashes because of text dumps, right after dying.

**Nick** · December 17, 2013, 22:48

All right, I have now excised text screen dumps completely from the development version - I think it's now safe to assume that players have access to software that displays html files.

The artifact info leakage I will have to track down. Also thanks LT for that info - I have implemented a fix, but it sounds like yours is better.

Now the complaining starts again

:

I found an unidentified scroll and picked it up. Read it and it turned out to be WoR. I have outoinscribed WoR with !*. But the game wouldn't apply it to the scroll. Finally, when I dropped it and picked it up again, it was inscribed correctly.

**Arralen** · December 18, 2013, 18:09

... and more "complaining":

"a Ring of Mobility <+1>
Found lying on the ground in Amon RRdh level 18.
1 intelligence."

**Mondkalb** · December 18, 2013, 18:17

Ah, I've seen that in the dumps, I thought it was a problem with a font or such. Apparently, characters with an accent are not displayed correctly, at least in the dump.

OK - I have fixed some issues with autoinscription, apparently not that one.

Again, some instances of this fixed - will follow up. When this appears in dumps, btw, it can be because of how your browser is treating the page.

Thanks for the reports.

All known bugs now fixed (aside from the issue of left and right arrows being weird on the mode screen, which is proving complicated).

Rumour has it that there may be an FA competition soon, and I would like to have a version out with the artifact ID leakage fixed. So my plan is to release 1.4.3 some time in the next few days - please keep the bug reports coming so I can try and get fixes into it.

Also except for the Nowhere Town bug I just found

FAangband 1.4.3

Version 1.4.3 is now available at the downloads page, the variants tab and in all good bookstores.

Just bugfixes this time:

Fix some more mode menu issues
Fix explosion visual radius
Disable text screen dumps
Stop artifact ID leaking in 'C' screen
Fix some text encoding
Make autoinscriptions apply on item ID
Shut the (a?) gate to Nowhere Town

There will likely not be any new releases for some time; in particular, FA will be caught up in the Vanilla restructure. Do make bug reports, though, as I will continue with fixes and do another release if there are any showstoppers.

Thanks for playing, everyone

What was the *gate* to Nowhere Town, anyways?

This time, it was a fairly boring failure of the quickstart option - not nearly as much fun as using teleport level from the bottom of a dungeon, or going upstairs from a patch of grass...

Dunno if this is working as intended - loaded the 1.4.2 (once 1.4.1) savegame and prf file and got the following C report ... Cammithrim still shows up, but all kills are gone?!

Yep, broke that good. Easy fix, but there's going to have to be another release. Tomorrow.

FAangband 1.4.4

Version 1.4.4 (One Gross, if I may use the expression) is now available from the downloads page and the variants tab.

This version fixes a stupid bug which stopped character history showing properly - note that the history is still there, loading into 1.4.3 will not have lost it.
