[Announce] PosChengband 4.0.0 Released

[HugoVirtuoso]

Perhaps. Was it like this: You sold 24 bolts of wounding (1d5) (+9,+9) for 9984 gp? Heck, maybe it was but I don't remember it being that much.

Chr 14 - Drac Rogue

Woah... it wasn't like that in pre-4.0.0 days. It was more like if you sold a set of Seeker Arrows of Prism (for example), that would have sold for maybe 2000 Au or so.

Enchanted ammo always sold for big money in the pre-4.0.0 days too.

Not sure what changed with the value of ammo, but selling it suddenly became a massive gold spinner.

Funny, I only now noticed that it's missing. You could highlight the player character, that would help with the race at least.

AFAIK, that only(?) works with Monster races and not with regular races.

I'd like to request that you add the option to display Race/Class on the information section of the game screen.

There is a small roguelike community I belong to that often shares screenshots of the game, but due to the lack of race/class on the screen following 4.0, people are often confused about what exactly the person is playing as (especially if it's a monster race and the player is in a pack of monsters).

It would be most appreciated.

There are some compile errors here saying that there are conflicting declarations of usleep and putenv. Removing the declarations makes it compile.

lib/help/Makefile also looks outdated.

[murphy]

Haha!

OK but it think it would be nice if when you do 'quick start' you get the option to rename the character

[Regalia]

For some weird reason you have to pay now. Legal name change in the building that gives Wargs quest.

A bold step towards realism in roguelikes.

Prepare for tollways and renewable monster hunting licenses.

[wobbly]

Hmm I cant figure how to change the characters name.

Thanks, that clears things up.

So Rods and other Magic Devices can be cursed in 4.0.0?

I hope they can only be generated cursed.

[debo]

It definitely happens. Not sure why though. I have had a rod and 2 staves blow up.

If a device is cursed, it has 1 in 6 chance of exploding. Uncursed devices can't explode from use.

They can, however, be popped by elemental damage, and I'm not sure recall wands are protected from this in poscheng.
