Unofficial Oangband release

[Psi]

Differences:

Vanilla O:
- Light radius -1, max radius 2
- Stealth +4

FA, 1.1.0u:
- Light radius -1
- Stealth +3 in perma-lit areas, +6 otherwise
- Vision radius 2 in darkness

Am I getting the differences between the two versions right or did I miss something?

There is still a max radius of 2 in 1.1.0u (unless Nick has implemented it differently to FA)

This max is (in both 1.1.0u and FA) only while not wielding a light. If an unlight playeer chooses to wield a light, they get the standard radius - 1.

Well you learn something new every day!

There is now a bugfixed version up. Thanks to Christer Nyfalt for giving me some patches (the easy bits of which I implemented) and Psi for finding bugs, fixing some of them and saying the correct magical incantations over the WinCE port.

Bug: O-110u seems to have inherited FA's tunneling problem on winXP. It doesn't do it every time, but after 3-4 tunnelings, the game crashes. Then a system restart is needed or else the map area shows up blank.

Yes, that's not surprising, given they have the same UI. Does NumLock on help?

If anyone has any idea what is happening here, I'd like to hear - I haven't had any luck tracking it down yet.

It happens with numlock both on and off :/... strange given FA's behavior. It seems to happen less frequently with numlock on, though - every 10 or so tries as opposed to 3.

It seems that my "fix" to magic mapping has broken it completely - anyone else seeing this?

I've found a workaround for the tunneling crash. Ctrl+DIR works unerringly (numpad on or off). Maybe this will help w/ diagnostics too?

Excellent, if bizarre. And that should definitely help work out what's happening.

Well, the scroll now functions as if it were of Detect Doors

Should be fixed now; in fact, there will be a fix up within a day for use with the next competition.

When using the easy_more option going down those stairs who go down 2 level give strange prompts

Another one: the last substring in the Inspection window is repeated after the full stop

This one is fixed now - new windows version and source code on the site now, other ports to come shortly.

This one isn't fixed - I'll have to look at that at some point (presumably it's a problem in FA as well), but I don't think it's urgent.
