What does 'commenting out lines' mean?

[nikheizen]

Getting an error attempting to compile on linux.

Comment out those lines in main-gcu.c and try again.

Not everyone thinks the world revolves around them

This was pretty good.

Anyone know if !good works properly with weak pseudo-id? It's auto-destroying un-ided (enchanted) for my priest & both good & egos show as (enchanted) until ided with weak pseudo-id.

I don't know how anyone can play any *band without using the 'center @ on the screen' option!

I also play without the '@' at the center of the screen too!

Got a screenshot of the message text covering the @s position:

New(?) bug in 4.0.0:
The message history search function ('P' then '/') does not work. It only works on the first page and that's it.

Future suggestion:
Add holiday surprises around-the-year, similar to how it's done in Sil!

There's a bug with summons & life-drain. I'm losing XP when my pets are drained.

Edit: I might have to double check that, next time I see a life-drainer. I probably just misread the numbers. It was possibly just me gaining xp from a pet attacking something.

Rings of the Dwarves and cursed equipment can cause XP drain. Check to see if you have any of these.

Edit 2: Retested & I'm an idiot.

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.

Which nicely offsets the need to *id* most egos you'd want to sell.
