Are 7.0.2 savefiles compatible in 7.0.3? Please say yes.

Nice---congrats on this first big step.

Are 7.0.2 savefiles compatible in 7.0.3? Please say yes.

I cannot say authoritatively, but with the changes to potions, damage dice on weapons, types and weights of armor, I would be doubtful at best.

edit: actually, given the changes to quests, new city, new dungeons, new overland map, I would be surprised if there wouldn't be issues.

Gwarl confirmed that the Composband on Angband.Live is the same as 7.0.3, apart from the live version being labeled as 7.0.2a

Ah, cool! Thanks, Hugo.

Learning that the Warrens, for all the level says L1, with its cramped levels, is incredibly lethal with the potential for swarming of low stealth chars. Thank Gwarl, for cutting the Warg quest in half. As it is I commonly have multiples in LOS when I enter the level. And Mugash? Not a tough fight if you can reach corridors, but twice now I have entered the level standing in the middle of the escort pack and they are all awake...

Odd behavior

Went into the Orc Cave and recalled out after dropping a couple levels. Normally on first recall, you appear at the entrance '>', but this time I appeared in the nearby mountain, one space to the West of the entrance.
Was able to enter the Overmap and move out of the Mountain terrain as I had no source of Levitate.


edit: Went to reforge the Phial of Galadriel with a Feanorian Lamp, got the usual crappy result, heh. What was odd was that the message said it would cost 100K gold, I had 126K at the time. After the combine, I had 96K. So it cost only 30K?

[Gwarl]

Recalling to the top left corner is an old bug that in kangband days would lose your character. Thankfully doesn't seem to happen too often and you don't get stuck in permanent rock anymore. I've no idea why it happens.

[Fnord]

I consistently get this error on starting, opening the char sheet and completing a quest:

Error 1 in line 4732 of file
'E:\games\bands\cpb702\lib\pref\graf-xxx.prf'. Parsing
'K:75:24:0xBC/0x83'

It doesn't appear to do anything significiant that I noticed yet.

Deleting this and the next entry fixes this - it's a result from him removing two potions. Hopefully Gwarl will implement this in his next binary release.

There's no law saying you can't leave the level immediately and enter by another staircase to encounter another Mughash and co.

(Incidentally, with enough labor you can generate an arbitrary number of Mughash escorts in this fashion. Once you kill the Mughash on one of the levels so generated, the escorts will lose their escort behavior and thus become willing to follow you up stairs. But that's a side note - the key super duper (not actually one bit) important thing here is that if you really really like kobold drops then you can have as many of them as you want!)

I would like to express my gratitude for adding/expanding quests. It makes a gameplay more interesting since it allow to choose whether to level up doing quests or go on adventure straight away.

Looking for more quests to be added

Ah, for some reason I always assumed that the quests were failed by leaving the level. oops.
