    It's the gloves I'm wearing in this dump



    So yeah it'll be just a set with zero move bonus. That's a little odd to my mind, as it doesn't have the name, but it also doesn't have a ? for an un-ided rune.

      Yes. Corrected my post for that.

      Since the object has zero for that modifier it doesn't have that rune (per the implementation in Vanilla and FirstAgeAngband) so no '?' for it. If the character doesn't know the movement speed rune (along with the rest that are involved) then the character won't know the Thievery ego. This object won't show description for the Thievery ego until that ego is fully known.

        Completely logical but also baffling for the player. We are used to unknown ego times always having {??} if they do not have a name yet... being nameless and yet without {??} is a strange state!

          Is it intentional that Create Darkness has no effect when used in towns during the daytime?

              I'm not sure, but I think it's correct behaviour.

              This is a known bug, but fixing it breaks savefiles, so I'm saving up savefile-breaking stuff to do at once.

                Hi,

                Any chance of a later Windows build?
                Or alternatively, any tricks for getting this to build using MinGW or Cygwin?

                Thanks,

                  Report Batch #21

                  Mushrooms of Turbulence: Currently look like they can't generate, as their alloc and effect lines are commented out . . . but the game acknowledges their existence in the object memory; I have two mushrooms left to ID in my current game, which are Purging (which I see in the shops, but somehow I've not seen outside of them) and Turbulence (which neither rodent nor I have seen at all, and look to have a flavor associated with them in my object memory even though they can't actually generate).


                  Disarming: I just failed to disarm a chest, despite having 100% in both physical and magical disarm.

                    With Hybrid Dungeon, it seems impossible to get below level 54. Taking stairs or reading Deep Descent causes a hang every time.
                    This was due to the bad definition for Glaurung.

                    Actually fixing the entry allowed access to 55. Defeated Glaurung and recalled to town. Now attempting to recall hangs, while a deep descent aborts quickly without an error.
                    Experimentation shows that any level with a defeated guardian (30 in this case as well) is inaccessible. Making the guardians non-unique allowed access to those levels.

                    Attempting to go to L56 still fails though - now with
                    Assertion failed!
                    Program: C:\Gms\FAangband20beta-win\faangband.exe
                    File: gen-room.c
                    Line: 1175

                    Expression: square_isempty(c,grid)

                    Issue was in world.txt - doesn't like type VALLEY, or not having up and down stairs.

                        A couple of things I'm finding are too common:

                        Potions of englitenment - if I drink 1 every level chances are I'll find 2 to replace them.
                        Potions of aug - I suspect you could collect these & use them like mushrooms of vigor.

                          Thanks,
                          You can build it with MinGW by running "make -f makefile.win MINGW=yes" in the src directory; but the compiled game won't actually run without faangband.ini, which is currently missing from github. If you have an angband.ini for V you should be able to copy that and rename it to faangband.ini.

                            Also have their alloc lines commented out in the object edit file, so like Mushrooms of Turbulence they don't seem to be able to generate, though the game still looks to acknowledge their existence by virtue of having assigned a flavor to them that you can never learn because they don't generate.
