[Announce] Oposband 0.1.0

[EpicMan]

Quickstarting a chaos character will give you a random patron, same as the latest version of Composband, which isn't a good thing with how varied they are.

Though, changing that will break savefiles according to Gwarl, so it might be something you want to do soon-ish...?

I will add keeping the chaos patron to the changelist for the next version. It is going to break savefiles anyway so this is a good time for it.

Currently Hengband and its derivatives have a giant s_info.txt file with start/max proficiencies for up to 64 types of diggers, launchers, swords, polearms, and hafted weapons, for each class. Along with tons of special casing for races, subclasses, mutations and personalities where that matters.

I am replacing that whole system with proficiencies for a whole class of weapons, more or less corresponding to the weaponmaster specializations. So you build proficiencies for all swords, or all axes, instead of individual types. Then those starting and max proficiency values will be stored in the class_t structures and set at birth, removing the need for all the special casing.

The Dragon quest in angweil is MUCH harder than it was because dragons can now summon.

Dragons should only summon 1 other dragon at most imo or maybe only summon ones <= their level. Summoning dragons is a cool idea, but this is too much since they already have high HP and damage.

I had an Ancient dragon Summon Scatha, a later one summoned Glaurung, and another one summoned a great Crystal Drake, making the quest unwinnable.

The latest version on Github has removed the summons that were added.

It works now. Up on angband.live.

Drop by and say hello and I can sort you out with an update button for the version running on the site.

Skillmaster can't use kendo whatsoever because the books were deleted but you can still put points in the realm.

Crash bug

posband: inv.c:149: inv_filter_floor: Assertion 'obj->k_idx' failed.

Sickness and work have limited my time on this more recently.
Gwarl, I will drop by some time I have more time. Thanks for getting it up an running.

Ster, would restoring the books, but needing them to cast the spells, be an acceptable solution for you?

Wobbly,
I'll look into it.

Skill masters always needed the kendo books to cast to begin with, didn't they?

So they did. I plan to release an update in the next week or two and will add Kendo books back in.
