[Un] Unangband 0.6.2-gold2 released

In the attached image, the wyrms just sort of sit there and I can slowly mana storm them to death. Every once and a while one will figure it out and wander over to me, but mostly they just take the damage and roar.

I rushed in there after I realized what was going on, of course. No need for cheap tactics like that.

I came across an amusing nonsensical message in the depths of the plains of Gorgoroth: "The storm cloud over an open floor over a chasm is struck by lightning."

What's so nonsensical about it? Have you never seen a storm cloud over a chasm, being struck by lightning from another storm cloud? That open floor is a bit suspect, though.

edit: Are potions of dragonbreath worth 0 gold for any particular reason? It's not like gold is an issue when you start finding them, I was just curious.

They give you bad breath when you drink them? Seriously though, a good idea to increase the price. IIRC, originally price 0 was assigned to any potion that decreases your HP when you drink it, which is the case here, IIRC. But it's not realistic, because otherwise vodka would be free in real life.

I remember reading once that warriors could browse all books but not learn the spells? Well, there's a way to be able to learn the spells. As a warrior (style: lore, school wizardry) I seem to be able to learn every spell from every spellbook, priest book, and song book. Spells I obviously should not learn (like Bless) are level 0 and cost 0. The only thing stopping me from learning powerful spells is not having the spellbooks and prerequisites.

Here's the dump.

[Bandobras]

Oops. So, the illegal spells all have level 0? The original idea was to allow warriors to learn spells from only one book, chosen at birth. In return they sacrifice blows and other style bonuses.

Not sure if this is the appropriate place for this, but...

All the download links from the berlios download site time out for me, so I can't download Un. Anybody else having that problem?

The same for me. An alternative download site, with links on the oook Variants page, would be welcome.

Actually, there is one:

I've added it as "Mirror site at FuryTech" to the variant page.

No .6.2-gold2 for OS X on there, so I just bit the bullet and compiled it from SVN .

Ah... Berlios. I can't complain because it's free...

There's 'something' going on with monster movement that I haven't quite figured out yet. I'm still working on it. Unfortunately, it's very hard to debug code with lots of dependencies all over the code base.

Is it possible that "It increases your mana regeneration by X" does increase the food consumption as well, like "increase your hit point regeneration" does ?
