[Announce] Poschengband 3.3.0 Released

[chris]

Not sure what's up here but I'm wearing this:

a Torc of the Hero (+2,+2) [+5] {Fe;FaSiRg[F(StDx}

And in my resistances chart, it doesn't show any of rFear, FA, see invis, regen, etc.

The 'fire aura' row shows the aura's power, but it doesn't have the '+' flag under the amulet column.

Edit: I should note that I do actually get all these powers, they just don't show up on the charts.

I can't reproduce a problem. Savefile?

Edit: You probably managed to *ID* the amulet without becoming aware of the ego kind. Do you recall where you found the amulet and how you *identified* it?

Ah, I see what probably happened here. Some unique dropped it, I picked it up and the new auto-id code id'ed it before I saw the ego. My local branch identify does the exact same thing as *identify*, which I guess caused the problem. Sorry to bug you!

No problem. There probably are scenarios not handled. Add a call to ego_aware(o_ptr); to fix things:

    old_known = identify_item(o_ptr);
    o_ptr->ident |= (IDENT_MENTAL);
    ego_aware(o_ptr);

I'm working right now on setting up termcasting. I'll post again when I succeed or give up. In either case, I will be streaming within the hour. I'll post when I go live.


Should be a long stream for most/all of tonight, since I have a flight in the morning and my sleep schedule is already screwed up.

[krazyhades]

Okay, termcasting is being stubborn, but I'm going live for now anyways.

edit: Stream down for now at least, because it was pretty empty and I have a bit of prep to do before my flight tomorrow AM.

Caught the archive stream this morning---this Cyclops is definitely going places on top of some of those crazy gear finds.

Suggestion: leave chat windows visible if possible so players can leave tips. Not everyone has a mic.

[krazyhades]

I keep the chat open in a monitor right next to the one that's broadcasting. I can keep it on the broadcasting screen so as to allow non-live listeners to see what I'm responding to, but I do keep chat uncovered.

edit: and for live viewers to assess message delay time.

Should a berserker ever use a rune sword? It's perma cursed and I worry about not being able to un-equip it. What benefits do those swords gain on leveling up?

My char is here: http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=16344

Any other comments/tips would be welcome, too. I bet my item stats are an outlier compared to most players What was new in 3.3.4?

[HugoVirtuoso]

The Rune-Sword is permanently cursed and increases in weapon dice, and accuracy and damage the more you use it to kill monsters. You will have to spend a **VERY LONG** period of time killing monsters with this to see it effectively grow in power.

And permanently cursed means you will be stuck forever once you equip the Rune Sword. The only way to get this off is to use a Scroll of Mundanity. But, as a Berserker...you can't!!

[krazyhades]

Oh my that is troll isn't it?

[HugoVirtuoso]

I was referring directly to the Berserker class. Berserkers always have a 100% failure rate for all scrolls and all magical devices in PosChengband.

[krazyhades]

Yeah, I know. I've played them. They can remove regular cursed equipment with their brute strength. Though I vaguely remember having trouble with a cursed lamp that I couldn't take off...

What keys do you all use to hold macros, besides tab?
I use the roguelike keyset, and I find it's pretty densely in use. I'm not sure how to set up a macro that uses ALT. The Interact With Macros > Create a Macro command has trouble reading ALT-Q (for example) for me.

The help file on macros indicates that there should be something I can open and edit, but I'm not sure where it lives given that the /lib/user/ pref files say they are dumps that will get overwritten.

edit: going with the num keys for now

[Arjen]

If i use marcos I use those F1-12 keys.
