      Heh, and all this time the "alt" spells have been reminding me of anime and Japanese games for some odd reason...

      LIMIT BREAK! Activate ALT Gemini Pulson Spazer Beam Cannon! For great justice! :P

        Much of the credit goes to the new shopkeepers, especially a few of them, more than is usual interested in the quality of their wares...

        And updated as well...

            What do you mean, my shop? Is it some kind of ploy to make me start playing Unangband?

            Ok I cheated, just downloaded the sources and looking at shop_own.txt. I recognize some names (rawuest, anne, arendil, nick, will, pete, rizwan) but I don't think I recognize my incarnation...

            Also it's funny how source tarball contains nocompile.txt ..

              Why, of course.

              Your nick is not Middle-Earthish enough, as far as I can say, and considering to what desperate lengths the idea to refer to the name of your forum has led me and that I don't want to be the first person banned from the forum, I had enough reasons to avoid putting your apparently real life name in. But play long enough and it will sink in...

                Then I must inform you that it was 100% successfull. I have rolled a new incarnation of a character I abandoned two years ago in 0.6.1 when that game got into a dead end. Already reached Bree.

                One question - when I cast Mighty Blow and direct it to the thin air, is it supposed to inform you I hit it. I killed it. ? Seems odd.

                  Great work Bandobras. I see a lot of changes in the last couple days. Including the ego-stroking changes in shop_own

                      Bandobras, UnAndrew--please post this at the newsgroup. The one thing I don't like about this forum is that it has split the audience so completely. There are some long-time angband players that don't come here. (I also prefer the newsgroup, but I bit the bullet and came here because there's a lot more activity.)

                        Well, maybe I can take just a peek that way too, since I'm not likely to get past Rivendell anytime soon... oh there I am! I have to say, I like the name of Anne the Mysterious. Much nicer than some of the other obvious ones you could have chosen for me, like Anne the Clueless Newb... lol! I'll have to show my son. Look, mom's famous. lmao

                        I have to admit that I haven't been peeking in over there much lately. I should go more often. I don't know whether Bandobras or Andrew normally post release announcements over there too, but I think it would be a good idea - it would reach people who don't come here. More players is always a good thing.

                          It's on my list of places still to update. I'm supporting a big software release at work so time is limited.

                            Oh, thanks a lot. I can't log in to Berlios to file a bug report (they have some broken certificates for some time now), so I had to fix it on the spot.

                            I'm not telling. Does the shop and race agree? And just theoretically, do you thing Cook would be a better nick for a heroic fantasy setting shopkeeper? Does the name sound elvish enough (I had some trouble with that, despite both halves coming from real elvish names, assuming the Paur* gauntlets are elvish, that is...)?

                            Sorry, that's the only thing that keeps me sane --- I don't write to any newsgroups. My life would be 100% virtual and 90% sleepless, if allowed that last straw. In fact, being an old-timer, I prefer newsgroups and this is precisely why I only attend forums and wikis. Sorry.

                                So while you're at the bug fixing, another weirdness I noticed: when a unknown unseen monster is moving in a room I previously visited, it's trail is changed from dots (open floor) to grey 'x'es (undetected area). Not only it looks odd, it also spoils presence of a monster.
                                I'm not telling. Does the shop and race agree?
                                I think it's a certain match then. Whee, look ma, I'm in a videogame now!
                                And just theoretically, do you thing Cook would be a better nick for a heroic fantasy setting shopkeeper?
                                I don't believe it would

                                64-bit FreeBSD, yes. I was looking at some terrain features, the moment I hit right arrow to look at a 'locked gate' thing it went poof. Non-reproducible. Might be memory corruption.
