Animeband - The worst variant ever

[ehuangsan]

hrm. That particular scenario didn't happen to me in 060a2. The scenario I posted did happen, though: A-hit1/3, teleport next to B, B-hit2/3, B-hit3/3. But then again it was a large horde of vicious Hello Kittys (Kitties?),: if I teleported next to another HK, I got hit by the remaining number of hits from a HK, but if I ended up in the clear, no remote hits. So I assume it was the other HK getting in the last hits.

That's because my dumb solution was to only make the replacement technique work on first monster hit. If you tried to make it interrupt a string of hits coming from one monster, then the problem occurs.

Did you manage to replicate the previous solution? I think I should have an old beta version lying around somewhere that has it.

um... no?... o_O

[ehuangsan]

Ah, I think I remember how to replicate it.

Change the "break" statement in melee1.c where the replacement code is to "continue". Otherwise, replacement only works on the first hit of the monster melee. I don't understand why that happens though.

I think I'm going to need a log/messages dump of right and wrong (fabricated or not) to understand what you're trying to get at

At its current implementation, it'll only check for replacement on the monster's first attack. So you're never gonna get the situation of "Monster 1 hits you, monster 1 hits you, You use the replacement technique" for a monster with 4 attacks.

When I tried to implement that previously, it would spew something funny like "Monster 1 hits you, you use replacement, Monster 1 hits you, etc." despite the fact you are clearly phased away.

Changed break to continue with what's in svn and got this little game transaction:

Oh I forgot, ugly sticks are no loner multi hit. Try Black Chameleons instead then.

Debugging the disappearing Hunger indicator.

I've nailed down where the problem is. Basically on a dungeon level change, the hunger indicator does get drawn, but is immediately overwritten by the status bar, which fills the entire row with blanks then prints "Srch", "Lev N", etc. Now, the obvious things seems to be to reverse the order of the draw... but apparently the blindness indicator gets drawn twice... once explcitly on level change, then again in the statusbar. The two locations don't line up. There are apparently other indicators that have this "ghost-image" effect as well, based on patterns in the source text.

EDIT: and why it reappears on hunger change is because only the hunger indicator gets drawn, the statusbar isn't redrawn.

I want to see what the upstream angband does, before committing any changes.

Angband just prints each individual statusline item in a predetermined fixed location. It'll be changing soon, though, to one which lists all effects from left to right whenever a redraw is required.
