[Announce] FrogComposband 7.1.toffee released

[HugoVirtuoso]

Confusion status can worsen various magical device success rates as well

[wobbly]

You would have had a device penalty from hasty which makes it a little worse. I can't remember how Klackons ar device skillwise but for big bruisers with +device look at ent & half-titan. There's also classes like paladin/weaponsmith/rogue which are also good at melee and have a better device skill. Otherwise equipment or working round bad device skill are all you can do.

Not quiet sure where to report bugs, but I was playing as a Half-Giant Beserker and when I was fighting the Star Vampire in the vampire quest, I got:

"You feel stupid for a moment, but the feeling passes, You feel stupid for a moment, but the feeling passes, You feel stupid for a moment, but the feeling passes, You feel stupid for a moment, but the feeling passes, You feel stupid for a moment, but the feeling passes, You feel stupid for a moment, but the feeling passes, You feel stupid for a moment, but the feeling passes, more-"

and then my game crashed. My savefile is now 512 MB and crashes every time you load it. I don't know what other information to give, if you need any just ask.

Thanks, the basic description and the fact it was a Star Vampire was enough for me to figure out what happened (it's the brother of a bug floatRand reported earlier; the context and the code are different, which is why I didn't catch it then, but the bug itself is the same). Very sorry to say that your savefile sounds irreparably lost.

Hmm. I know the old model of angband is to save on crash. But I think the new model to save on new level is better. Save on interrupt is OK, but not crash

I find weapon with ego "Wild Weapon". What does it mean?

[Sideways]

Wild weapons have only one die, but lots of sides (so a weapon that's normally 3d8 will be 1d24 if it's wild). Wild weapons also give you random temporary buffs when you hit monsters; some of these can be very good and hard to acquire otherwise, like vengeance or invulnerability.

It means you are about to have a lot of fun.

Closed the game as I have hundreds of times before by closing the Main, Term 0, window. This last time I did that, when I relaunched the game it opened Term 1, 2, and 3 like normal, but Term 0 is gone.
Tried force quitting, rebooting. Next I will try reinstalling over the old folder.

Any clue how I get the game working normally?
Running Win 10

Does your frogcomposband.ini look normal, especially with regard to Term-0?

[CyclopsSlayer]

Does your frogcomposband.ini look normal, especially with regard to Term-0?

Here is the Term 0 settings. That X,Y location, is the window WAY offscreen?

[Term-0]

Edit: Reset Position to 0, 0 and the main is back. No clue how it got moved there.

So I finally managed to get a win in coffeebreak mode after my failed warrior with this paladin

http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=22522

(the dump from after retiring wouldn't upload, said invalid variant or something)

Was very fun.

I want to try with a magical character, but I'm not sure if any are viable.
In between melee builds I tried mindcrafters, which I got to CL50 but found with only 300/turn damage from powers that won't work on later dungeon levels let alone the final boss.

I was thinking maybe armageddon/life or armageddon/nature mage, or armageddon high mage? I haven't found the fourth spellbook for armageddon yet but I'm assuming it contains some high damage spells? Like if I can't dish out at least 700 damage/turn then I think the serpent is unkillable.

Or maybe device master? If there are multipliers for device damage then the damage output there could be okay too.

Append the winning character dump on here and maybe rodent/Sideways can determine why uploading it doesn't work

All those mages sound good. However for armagedon/not-sorcery consider chaos/other realm as that will give you teleport other, destruct & recharge.
