Oposband 0.3 Release

[EpicMan]

Of course I don't notice a big problem until after the release. The Imitator's class power wasn't implemented, it was just a stub.

Fixed now and a new release has been made. I am updating the links in OP.

Fixed binary is here:

Thanks Gwarl, I hadn't noticed the newer version up yet.

Cool I put 0.3.2 on .live recently but I'll add this and I think we'll run a competition. Good shout on incorporating the ghoul.

New Release 0.3.3
-Incorporated the many, many QOL/bugfix/English improvements from Frogcomposband-7.1.Liquorice
-Two new races:Icky Things, which can enter symbiosis with immobile monsters (works like the Ring monster, but in reverse - player is the bearer), and Ghouls (from Zangband) who have a paralyzing touch attack and can sense the living.
-Tables in some rooms (from Halls of Mist) - make a DEX check to climb onto, monsters have a % chance to climb onto it.
-Pets/friendlies can kill uniques for you, and player always is alerted when a unique dies, even offscreen.
-Blue mages and Imitators reimplemented based on Frogcomposband's Blue Mage.
-Unarmed players with hands can make a 1d2 punch attack instead of being completely helpless.
-Nagas can now wield weapons, Hobbits cannot wear shoes anymore.

Renaming monsters breaks many quests it turns out. All the quests should be fixed now. Damage messages improved as well.

Weremonsters now often appear as humanoid creatures, then transform when you kill their first form.
Items that were specifically dangerous to werewolves are now equallt dangerous to wererats, werebears and wereworms too.

[15:02] StNightmaer: @Gwarl didn't you see. he wants to add tik's and fastitocalons to a poslike
[15:02] StNightmaer: breaking new ground
[15:04] StNightmaer: looks like there was some effort to fix the really bad new monsters but the wyrms all still have acid auras and hasty ents still have friends
[15:07] StNightmaer: easy thalos nerfing score (lol) super-gwarlvision (lmfao)
[15:12] StNightmaer: uhhh did he remove poison needles with no replacement or do i need my coffee before posting
[15:12] StNightmaer: hopefully this means babbles go with no replacement but i doubt it

-Tik will be guarding angband 127.
-Wyrms have auras in Frogcomposband.
-Hasty ents will lose friends and regen in next version.
-Needles and babbles are both still there. Babble was supposed to be slower but that change didn't get added.

Oposband 0.3.0 "Break the world"

(Latest version 0.3.6)
Windows binary: https://github.com/EpicMan/Oposband/...band-0.3.6.zip
Source on Github: https://github.com/EpicMan/Oposband/releases/tag/0.3.6

Major changes:
-Probing & ID spells and abilities replaced with other abilities.
-Can use 'x' at birth screen to fully randomize character, and 'S' to randomize sex
-Modified weapon and body armor lists. Many redundant items were removed, names were shuffled around. A few more axe and dagger weapons added.

New options (default):
-Show damage numbers in combat (on), improved message flow and no longer affects score.
-Use XP modifiers as score penalties (or bonuses for < 100%) instead of XP requirements (on). If on all players have a 150% XP modifier (which is lower than the average 190% of normal scores). Replaced smart_learn option.
-No ID (OFF): all items begin the game IDed, all flavors known, etc. All of the normal ID mechanics are still there but now useless.

Minor changes:
-Heaven dungeon is now City of Amber
-Hell dungeon is now Nether Realm (maybe should be Courts of Chaos instead? Then stairway to hell monster could be the Black Road).
-Launchers of Accuracy replaced with Infravision-granting Launchers of Keen Sight
-Priests' water potions are holy water potions and are better for them when quaffed or thrown.
-Water hounds renamed/recolored Acid hounds and new Water hounds added that resist and shoot water.
