FAangband 2.0beta

[Sphara]

Another little question about 1.4.4 FAngband played on angband.live:

What is the mechanic behind waking EVERYTHING up as soon as it comes to a druadan's view? My stealth sits as "excellent" and no item has aggravation.

From the help file I did read that only mage gets a little stealth penalty in late exp-levels. But a druadan warrior? Should be fine. Is it 4 light items I'm wearing or what? Having two rings of combat neither of which have aggro?

When I remembered that I had the Dart of Eol in my quiver I was 100% certain that the problem was solved. But no. It had no aggro-thingy.
I'm clueless.

Items can have hidden curses if they pseudo as "perilious" or whatever the mixed one is called. There are scrolls of reveal curse.

This file has some compiler warnings fixes for the last commit.

Thanks.

On the aggro, I think wobbly's explanation is the most likely. If an object's description says "You know all the enchantments on this object", it usually (I think always) means it has a curse you haven't discovered.

Thanks fellas.

It was one of those Rings of Combat I was wearing. The better one ofc

My current plan is to put a second beta out this weekend, which will break savefiles from the current development version (which is what's on angband.live). It should have pretty much all the features of original FA that I'm including (although probably not player ghosts, which I probably will include later), so hopefully it's mainly bugfixing from there.

awesome news.

2.0 beta 1 now available, it breaks savefiles from 2.0 beta. This has most of the features of FAangband 1.4.4 that I am intending to use, so please point out anything I am missing. Please play and enjoy.

How does it compare in lines of code? Has all the code rationalization actually paid off?

I could not locate vorpal bunnies in the monster list.

Good question - I haven't checked.

They're no longer necessary because blood falcons.

Latest beta only compiles for me under Linux (Devuan 3, based on latest Debian testing) if I comment out "bool confusing_blow" in "player-attack.h". The compiler complais it is defined multiple times.

OK, thanks.

Thank you for making this <3

This is my first time playing FAangband - and this seems to be the best version for it. Some questions / requests:

1) Does this variant always preserve artifacts? Is birth_lose_arts effectively the same option as old preserve, turned on its head?
2) Has the old autoroll (=specify minimal stats at birth) been removed entirely from this version? Can it be added back? Would you? Can I add it back myself just by editing some options file?
3) Is the old stat maximization option on or off in this variant?
4) Would it be possible to add some choices for hp gain at levelup? Such as, averaging HD for hp, maximum HD of hp, minimum HD of hp.

Just to clarify - which version are you playing? The answers to your questions will depend on that.
