You Have To Put The Feedback for the DLC In The Beta Thread

Ha! And here I figured that was a deliberate troll message to mess with us long-time Nethackers.

 

You added UI art for crafting in the button bar above the belt but it's not appearing in RC5. Doublechecking to make sure you know it's not implemented.

 

Deathly Skull of Death has aethereal misspelled in its resistbuff.

Code:

\expansion\game\itemDB.xml(245):  <resistbuff necromantic="5" righteous="-5" athereal="2" piercing="4" />

In the interest of standardizing the capitalization of attribute names in order to support XSD validation, can you fix the following attributes in the itemDB.xml in the core game? "cantargetfloor" should be cased as "canTargetFloor", which is the more common casing. In addition, the one instance of dmgMax should be deleted.

Code:

Error                                            File        Line  Column
The 'cantargetfloor' attribute is not declared.  itemDB.xml  995  53

Dragonsbreath Caltrop Eruptor has a trap level of 16. Is that valid? Shouldn't the maximum be 15?

Code:

\expansion2\game\itemDB.xml(390): <item name="Dragonsbreath Caltrop Eruptor" iconFile="dungeon/trap_gearplate.png" >

 

Why do diggles have a 75% chance of dropping native gold now?

 

Why else would they be digging around down there?

 

I thought they dug around to justify the rubbery nasal appendage...

 

Items can go as high as level 20. When items are spawned, they have a deviation (bell-curve, I believe) of up to (+ or -) 5 from the floor they are on. So a level 16 trap could appear on floors 11 to 15, but will never be as common as a lower-rated trap.


EDIT:

0177 Hmm. Apparently not Mac-compliant. 0177 Yep, definitely not working. ¡¶¶ Nope. I wonder.. ≠ almost ± got it!

Apparently, "±" is option-shift-equals on a Mac. In whatever this font is, though, ± isn't particularly legible on my screen. There's no visible gap between the top and bottom segments of the symbol, so it looks more like a grave marker than a plus overlapping an equals. I think I'll stick with the less ambiguous "+ or -" as it's easier on the eyes. Thanks for the help, though, even if it is a bit off-topic.

 

Hold Alt and press 0177 on the numpad with numlock enabled to make the ± symbol.

*Edit*
It may be "Shift =" on the Mac system. (I do not have a mac, so I have no idea how it works for that.

Here is the reference.

Game hangs if a gas cannister (rogue scientist) hits a monster. (RC5).

 

Confirmed.

 

Rc5 -> acid pool created by bloobs or traps are still not damagin the hero

 

More a mod issue, but if you have a consumable that heals both hp and mp, it calls it a "food" in your inventory, but uses the "drink" animation.

 

It's like a milkshake. It's food, but you drink it. Sounds like the perfect compromise.

 

Finishing a monster zoo with a steam rocket bolt crashes to desktop with no error message.

 

What is the optimal way to send them? Attachments here? I have three of them. They need to be zipped for now because the forum won't accept dmp files. That should be easy to change, though.

 

I'm not entirely sure. I was just testing some extremes of XML data, so it was probably from level 1 going down to level 2. I did get some crashes going down to level 14 because of the big_tree00 issue, but those crashes popped up the crash warning dialog, and it doesn't seem like dmp files get created for those. I crashed that way at least three times, and I also had three crashes straight to desktop. Two of the crashes to desktop were identical: same level, same stairs. The third one, I dunno.
