Thraalbee's right; but also, that character you cite switched his secondary realm, studied spells in the new realm, and then switched back to his original second realm having forgotten (and needing to re-study) every spell in it.

Sideways, are you accepting pull requests or patches? It looks like development has been largely you for the past few years, and there's an almost year-old PR that you didn't reply to. https://github.com/sulkasormi/frogcomposband/pull/277Comment

He also pulled in one tweak I made to allow people to see all the possible Rage Mage spells in each book. Only being able to see the spells you can learn right now is silly on a class that consumes its books to learn spells.
So I don't feel like I've been ignored (and honestly I made the changes mostly for my own enjoyment, and figured I'd throw them up there for people to see).Comment

I wrote in part of archolewa's pull request; and the rest of it got left in limbo because I did not want to either reject or accept it in its entirety, and was not sure which other bits to accept or adapt (even after discussing potential ideas with archolewa) without further personal play-testing of rage-mages, which I lacked the time for at that point. While development of FrogComposband is still continuing, I've been too busy with other stuff for much progress to happen lately.
In general I write all my own code and like it that way; but I will pay attention to any pull requests submitted, archolewa's one just couldn't be completely resolved without a much deeper look. If you want to submit a pull request (or propose code changes in some other way!) you are welcome to do so; but be aware I'll probably be even more busy in the next couple months than I've been so far.The Complainer worries about the lack of activity here these days.Comment

Okay, thanks for explaining. If I submit a PR soon, it will probably just be code cleanup, so it shouldn't require any laborious playtesting to review. Autoexplore, even a very simple version of it, sure would be nice, but it would be challenging for me to implement. I'm decent at C, but I've never edited a 'band before.Comment

Can you elaborate more about what do you mean autoexplore? How do you want it to work? Any non-*band examples?My best try at PosChengband 7.0.0's nightmare-mode on Angband.live:

If I'm offline I'm probably in the middle of maintaining Gentoo or something-Linux or other.

(To be clear, that doesn't mean it couldn't be implemented; indeed, it could fairly easily build on the existing travel code used by commands like H, *j and ]J. You should be aware of the minor drawback involved, though...)The Complainer worries about the lack of activity here these days.Comment

The problem with autoexplore in *bands is that it causes players to die.

In a 'band, I think the obvious way to start on autoexplore would be to expand the run code. Move the player in a path to the nearest unexplored accessible square, using the same stop criteria as for running, but ignoring forks.
As Sideways says, though, autoexplore could be dangerous. In a 'band, generally detection magic is important, and waiting until you see monsters face-to-face is asking for trouble. So it would only really be useful for the early game for non-squishy characters, or if you were on a dungeon level on which you knew there were no serious threats.Comment

Writing a functional autoexplorer based on existing travel code would not be very difficult at all. More difficult would be deciding when it should stop, exactly which areas it should count as unexplored, how it should treat secret doors and areas hidden behind them, adding in a variety of options allowing the player to customize its behavior, etc.The Complainer worries about the lack of activity here these days.Comment

I just got killed by the mana bolt of a dark elven warlock. With easy_damage, I saw a message saying I took upwards of 120 damage, which is weird because the monster lore says "Mana Bolt (90, 1x)", which if I understand correctly means that the maximum damage is 90. But, I had a speed disadvantage (+2 for me vs. +10 for the typical dark elven warlock), so maybe the message summed the effect of several mana bolts.Comment

Ooh, so it's mean damage. The interpretation of it doesn't seem to be described in the help section about recall, so yeah, I assumed it was like vanilla. I agree with Pete that the maximum is more informative, even though it's less representative, since what you need to know for tactical decision-making is what you can survive. But it would also be quite reasonable to include both the mean and the maximum, if there's room.Comment
