It can even scan the *_info.txt to search for new things that - are not in the current prf file and to add them ! - You just need a big screen resolution(1152x864x16bits works for me) - Thanks for the great work Andreas(akoch@rbg.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de) ! -- The Archer class as suggested by Mike Hommel <jamul@hamumu.com>. They gain - some extra shot and might with levels and can also create ammo with rubble - and junks. - -05/04/1999 -- Fixed a bug in the Weyr of Arda at Lothlorien -- Add the artifact's descriptions made by ... well I don't have his/her name. - Anyway, great work. -- The rings of teleportation can now be activated but they'll be destroyed in - the process. It's like a last chance option :) - -08/04/1999 -- The uniques used in the special levels are no longer shown as killed in the - list and can only be created in the special level. - Note : This will only affect the new characters. -- Fixed : When a Power Mage spell fails it is not cast anyway. -- Wall creation works for Power Mage -- Divia wrote some missing artifact descriptions - -12/04/1999 -- Reimplemented the engraving feature. There are some parchments in the - dungeon which contain Adunaic/Quenya/Sindarin/... words you can use to - engrave the floor with 'x'(']' in the roguelike keyset). You must read them - before engraving even if you know the words from your last game. Also the - inscription is magical and so needs some mana to work. So there is a new - and unique feature : each grid in the dungeon have some mana on it's own. - You can sense the mana of one grid by pressing 'X'('[' in the roguelike - keyset), but this is not very precise nor easy, it's based on the magical - ability. When an inscription is used it decrease the grid's mana and when - there is not enough mana the inscription don't work anymore. The maximum - mana of each grid is 255. i.e.: when you engrave the protection inscription - which use 8 mana on a grid with 80 mana, a monster won't be able to walk on - it for 80/8=10 turns, but well, this can save your life ! - Note : There are not a lot of inscriptions, if you have some ideas, don't - hesitate, email me ! - -14/04/1999 -- Changes in the r_info for the HAS_EGG flag as suggested by Akhronath -- Bloodletters of Khorne only have a 20% chance of dropping Blade of Chaos - -17/04/1999 -- Raal's Tomes of Destruction have a 20% chance of dropping a Raal's Tome of - Destruction -- Symbiants are more likely to receive the grow molds mutation - -20/04/1999 -- Quest monsters can not be pets or breeders -- Can now place Trees(T), Mountain(M), Shallow & Deep lava(l, L) and - Shallow & Deep water(w, W) in the special levels -- Add a new dungeon type: The lost city of Numenor which is mainly composed - of water and which can be found to the west of Bree -********************* IMPORTANT ************************* -- The savefile from the old versions of PernAngband are no longer compatible - with the new one. It's mainly due to the new magic system but also some other - changes. I'm sorry but this would be hard to write a converter since all - the realm change (they have more spells) and so the books too and also the - way to remember which spells are known, forgotten, tried... -********************************************************* - -22/04/1999 -- Some new graphics from Andreas Koch -- Fixed the wilderness generation bug which sometimes hung the computer when - trying to go on a wilderness border -- The features(in f_info.txt) have some flags now. This allows me to create 2 - new types of wall: The Glass walls which you can see through but that you - can't pass and the Illusion walls that you can pass but not see through -- The screen is now correctly redrawn when leaving/entering a body -- Add the Wands of Wall Creation -- Death Mold powers have moved to the activation command('U') - -24/04/1999 -- Your are no longer crushed when flying over trees/mountain without being a - DragonRider -- The Vanilla feelings are back - -26/04/1999 -- All the spellbooks are now placed on the top of the inventory. -- The Sorcerors can now use the Wizard and Prior books -- The new magic system is ready.

Someone has asked for them so... :) - -28/04/1999 -- Finished the Valarin Realm -- Between gates are now allowed in the vaults. To place them place 2 times a - number from 0 to 7. I.e.(from weisiger <jmartin@inreach.com>): - D:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX - D:#,,,,,X&...@X..**&X....9X - D:#...&1X.,,,2X..**&X3...9X - D:#...&.X1,,,.X2.**3X....9X - D:#,,,,,X&...@X..**&X....9X - D:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX - But BEWARE ! You MUST put the 2 occurrences of the number, no check are done - so it'll surely crash or bug if not ! You've been warmed. -- You can now walk over the water with a Valarin spell - -30/04/1999 -- A monster on a between gate when the player is using the other is teleported - to the player location -- Add some Between vaults from weisiger -- Added the Sigaldry realm -- The Rings and Amulets are now allowed to be random artifacts -- You can use the between gates in the special levels via the numbers 4,5,6,7, - 8,9,0 -- Alchemists MUST wear gloves (no cesti nor gauntlets) in order to do alchemy. - They also begin the game with some gloves -- Add a Potion of Learning which allow you to learn one more spell than you - normally can. No need to say that they are very rare -- The more you learn spells in a realm the more efficient with that realm - you are - -02/05/1999 -- Implemented the Nether Realm - -09/05/1999 -- Magical stair at the bottom of each dungeon -- Reworked the imprinted pet system, now it will work lot better -- Add the scrolls of spell which can cast a spell like a book.

You can wish for objects, monsters, spells but - NOT FOR ARTIFACTS nor for staves of wishing -- Flying monsters can now pass over trees and mountains - -11/05/1999 -- The game will ask you to choose ammo from your inventory if your quiver is - empty - -26/05/1999 -- Add the Crusade Realm -- Add some new inscriptions -- It's now possible to add up to 32 realms - -03/06/1999 -- Wraith form is less powerful since it's not so rare. Now damage is only - divided by 5 and armor raised by 50 - -05/06/1999 -- Add the speaking patch from Matt Graham. Just edit the monspeak.txt file - to add new entries. And don't hesitate to send me what you've added ! - -11/06/1999 -- There are fewer gods and each god has one or two preferred races and if one of - this race pray to him they gain better benefits. Also the praying effects - are more differentiated (based on the different gods) -- Add the 'only once' quest type -- It's harder to please your deity -- The Nazguls are MUCH more powerful (ideas from Akhronath): - ******** Quote from Akhronath mail ******** - All weapons which are not ego-items cannot harm them, and will be destroyed if - the character hits a Nazgul with it. Ego-items which have slay evil or slay - undead can harm them, but each hit has a 25% chance of destroying the weapon. - Other ego-items can't damage them, and have the same 25% chance of - destruction. An artifact weapon will be able to hit them only if the weapon - has slay evil or undead, but the weapon will be hit with disenchantment every - time it connects (but this is negated with disenchantment resistance on the - character). And even these artifacts can be destroyed, although there's only a - 5% chance. Other artifacts, of course, can't damage the Nazgul, and still have - the 5% destruction chance. - - When a character does any damage to a Nazgul or is damaged by a Nazgul, he has - a 25% chance of being afflicted by the Black Breath. Thenceforth the character - will slowly be drained of experience and sanity. The character can stay alive - by using restoring and curing potions, but to cure the Black Breath he must - either drink a Potion of Life or eat (a new item) Athelas Leaf. (Athelas isn't - really eaten, of course, but I can't think of another simple way to implement - it.) - - This will really make the player think twice before going up to a Nazgul, and - makes it very useful to carry spare weapons. - ******************************************* - So if you encounter a Nazgul .... RUN AWAY ! -- Sensing the grid's mana is now done by pressing 'x' key to engrave the floor - The X key is free for some new function (maybe for the new riding system) - -17/06/1999 -- When browsing the spells while being a Power Mage there are no more bugs - when pressing escape -- Removed the forbidden race/class combination feature. But it's always - possible to recompile PernAngband with it with the FORBID_BAD_COMBINAISON - define(in config.h) -- New god : The RNG - -19/06/1999 -- The priest/prior/paladin's god is now chosen dependent on their race -- I have enough of hunting those damn ghost bug which makes them unable to - move. So it's now a feature ! They don't move because they are GREAT - adventurers who now just want to stand there to find peace :) - Hey, fixing bugs is easy this way :)) - -22/06/1999 -- When 'A'ctivating the first screen showed is the equipment and no more the - inventory -- Some new gfx drew by Andreas Koch - -06/07/1999 -- You can place object kind in the special levels instead of artifacts by - using 1000+k_idx as the number instead of just the artifact index - -17/07/1999 -- Add the Yeek race, but not as in Zangband. It's the one from Drangband. - I was thinking of a race who advance even quicker than the humans in levels - since a long time and I've found it ! - So they suffer lots of disadvantages but need less exp than the other -races, i.e.: When a DragonRider comes to level 2 a Yeek can already be at - level 7 !! -- Added the FLY attribute, it allows you to fly over trees and mountains - because it's no longer possible with the levitation one. It's also a lot - rarer since it's POWERFUL in Galgals and Mirkwood. DragonRiders have it - by default. There is also a change in the features flags, CAN_LEVITATE - means that you can just avoid them by floating over it (like a pit, - water, ...) and CAN_FLY means that you must have the FLY flag to cross it. - -19/07/1999 -- The monster's drop are now created at the same time as the monster is - created. First it disallows scumming of monster drops. And the most - important thing is that it will allow me to add the new ability of stealing - objects from monsters (everyone will be able to do it, but only Rogue will - be excellent at it). For the point of view of the player there is no change. - It may produce some strange object disappearance in the late game since - all the objects are generated with the dungeon. And thus it may need to - increment the maximum size of o_list in misc.txt. If such problems shows - up, email me. -- Press 'Z'('[' in roguelike mode) to STEAL an item from a monster. The - success rate is based on your dexterity, the fact that you are or aren't - a Rogue (being one makes it easier), the weight of the object to steal and - the base level of the monster. A Rogue will also gain some experience - if he/she succeeds. This made them more Rogue and less Warriors. - -22/07/199 -- Add more graphics from Andreas Koch along with a new version of the editor - -26/07/1999 -- The resurrection effect of the gods is now harder to get and decreases a lot - more your grace. It was ... well ... too powerful for the cost of some - crappy artifacts -- Finished the Magery realm created by Chris Weisiger (jmartin@inreach.com) - -03/08/1999 -- I've finally fixed it ! You know, this ugly bug that disallows the darkening - of the grass & mud tiles when they have been lit. - -18/08/1999 -- Yeah ! It's done! The new magic system is finished (I will add Spirit Realm - later). The final form is 4 Major Realms : Valarin, Nether, Magery, Shadow - and 4 Minor Realms : Crusade, Tribal, Sigaldry, Illusion. - The only problem is be that it could be unbalanced, especially the - Shadow realm since I've created it :) - Anyway it should be great. There are still a lot of old spells but some new - coloured funny spells for you to discover, as Control the Ring, Infuse Amulet, - Scribe Scroll, Doppleganger, Volcano Flow, Tidal Wave, and a lot of others! - The max number of spells a character can learn depends on his class. But - generally the player can learn fewer spells than the total number of spells he - has in all the books he can read. - I want to thank Akhronath (who has the first idea and who write some realms), - Shawn Cheng, Chris Weisiger and DSCreamer<DSCreamer@aol.com> for their great - help. -- Moldoux can not appear at any other level than level 1 - -21/08/1999 -- A new version of the Tile Editor plus a full set of graphs (expect the books)! -- Moved the dungeon types definitions from tables.c to a new info file in the - lib directory: d_info.txt - It allows you to add new dungeon types easily. - There is also a brand new feature: You can specify which monster flags that - are NEEDED for a monster to be generated in the dungeon. - There is also an addition of dungeon flags. Here is the structure: - N:<index>:<name> - D:<long name> - W:<min depth>:<min depth>:<min player level>:<next dungeon>:<flags mode>:<min alloc>:<max alloc chance> - L:<floor1>:<%1>:<floor2>:<%2>:<floor3>:<%3> - A:<wall1>:<%1>:<wall2>:<%2>:<wall3>:<%3>:<outer wall>:<inner wall> - F:<flags> - M:<monster flags> - S:<monster spells> -- The quest rewards are always good -- I've finally found and fixed the Mirkwood Spiders Quest - -24/08/1999 -- Add the MAZE flag to the dungeon type flag list, which instead of a normal - dungeon generate a full big maze ! And it's EVIL ! Note that there will be - no rooms and no vaults generated, just a plain evil maze - The algorithm is from <Pierre.Bru@spotimage.fr> on rec.games.roguelike.development -- Note about the dungeons : A dungeon can't have more than 40 levels -- You can use SMALLEST, SMALL and BIG as dungeon flags to specify the level's - size -- 6 new dungeon types: a Graveyard, an Illusory Castle, an Orc cave, a Maze - a Dragon's Lair and A Forest with specific gfxs and monsters restrictions -- Some new gfx form Andreas Koch mostly to add more flavor to the towns - -29/08/1999 -- You can add a guardian and a guardian artifact to each dungeons types with - the following flags: FINAL_ARTIFACT_artifact_number and - FINAL_GUARDIAN_guardian_number - -29/08/1999 - PernAngband 4.0.0 - -01/09/1999 -- Fixed the max_dlv non allocation error -- Fixed the Tribal realm spell descriptions - -01/09/1999 - PernAngband 4.0.0b -- New dungeon type, the Netherworld with Muar and the Wand of Fireball of - Mithrandir at the bottom -- You can't gain a fate before being level 10 -- Some cosmetic changes suggested by Akhronath -- A new Artifact by Akhronath, The Long Sword of Murazor 4d5, so ... the next - time you see a long sword 4d5, beware ... - -05/09/1999 -- Add a feature flag to allow running -- Fixed the Chaos Warriors bug (they were unable to use magic !) -- Fixed the Chaos Realm descriptions -- You can't rest on a between gate -- You can now steal from stores. But beware of the consequences if you fail... -- Fixed a bug in that when recalling to the town the player was sometimes - placed in the upper left corner - -08/09/1999 -- Fixed a bug that disallowed the creation of entrances to some vaults - -14/09/1999 -- Fixed the Dragon Tower bug -- Add minimum player level to the random dungeons -- Add shafts, you can use them do go up/down for up to 4 levels(but you can't - ignore quest levels). Original patch from Static Chaos. Idea from GSN -- Add a dungeon flags to forbid generation of doors - -27/09/1999 -- Some tweaks to the possessor code as written by Static Chaos i.e: - You must possess a monster that is able to open to door to do so. The - same applies to bashing. Your sex is modified by your body. Lots of tweaks - to the spells that can be used... -- The racial power of the Dwarves is now the same as The Pick of Erebor - activation: they can find hidden passage in the walls -- There is 1 chance in 10 that the level is an magical level, which means that - each grid will contain more mana than a normal level. -- Add some new sentences to the monsters sentence lists - -04/10/1999 -- Began to add the Druid class. But it's TOTALLY different from the other - variant's Druids. They make intense use of the mana flow from within the - earth and the elements, thus their spells can regenerate the mana they have - used by pumping it from the floor, like the Tunnel spell which will blink - the player and will try to absorb enough mana form the grid he/she lands on. - They can also (and they are the only to be able to do that) regenerate the - mana flow of the earth. They also can use enhanced attack types called - Druidic Bolt/Beam/Ball that can follow a mana flow laid by the player. -- The Druids can sense precisely the amount of mana of a grid - -08/10/1999 -- Added some revised graphics by Andreas Koch -- Added the code provided by Alexey Guzeev(aga@russia.crosswinds.net) to - compile PernAngband under OS/2 with EMX -- It's finally fixed ! the damn bug that was crashing the game when leaving - a town on certain system (Mac and Windows) ! this will never happen again ! - -27/10/1999 -- Finished the Druid class.

Thou hast not pleased me! I'll doom your game with the new - horrible DG curse !" - Yes I've done it, the DG curse is even worse than the TY one. One of it's - most perverse feature is that it can replicate itself to contaminate sane - objects that can't be cured. Also if you remove the curse of a DG cursed - object, it will recurse itself automatically ! - Beware of the horrible Long Sword of Murazor because it carries the ancient - morgothian curse ! - Oh, there are also some monsters that give the DG Curse when dying ... but - I'll let you find whose they are by yourself :-<|> (Dark God makes an evil - smile). I can just say one thing : you should *REALLY* *NOT* kill Mathilde... - But do not worry she's got much more HP, so you can't kill her anymore :) - -01/11/1999 -- Add the Rod of Home Summoning, which acts like the old dragon spells - "Call Home" - -08/11/1999 -- Drastically reduced the recharging time of the Dragon Scale mails in order - to render them useful. -- Added a new weapon ego-item: of Spinning, which will make you spin around - in order to hit every monster around you.

Thus there are weapons - that can be handled with two or one hand (but with one hand it halves the - damage). A 2 handed weapon can't be wielded with a shield. -- Added the random character name generation from Cthangband -- Added rivers (water & lava) from the Steven Fuerst fractal patch. Note that - you have to add WATER_RIVER, LAVA_RIVER, WATER_RIVERS or LVA_RIVERS to a - dungeon to have some rivers generated (actually in Mordor(lava), Dragon lair - (Lava) and Forest(Multiple Water)) -- Updated generate.c to the Steven Fuerst fractal patch room generator (using - room_alloc), in order to implement the remaining part of the patch easier. - But I'm still having problems adapting it to my extended dungeon generator. -- Ahah ! I've resolved the problem !! there are now fractal rooms (15%, can be - always enabled by specifying the CAVE flag), now the orc caves looks great - -10/11/1999 -- Added the Caverns(enabled via the CAVERN flag) -- Hell has been moved down, it now begins at level 666! :) - -12/11/1999 -- Add the Static Chaos persistent dungeon patch that save every level of a - dungeon (which has the PERSISTENT flag) on disk and reload it instead of - regenerating a new level. -- Add the Outer World dungeon type (this is an entrance to a place of an - incredible stability). It use the PERSISTENT flag and thus will be saved. - Only level 50 characters can go there to prevent abuse(like have an old - ultra powerful character and a new one and going into the Outer World to - exchange some stuff). And yes the saved dungeons are the same for EVERY - characters. But to add ... err ... variety, I've put it from level 300 to - 305, I've put it to have at least 30 monsters from the beginning AND to have - an higher monster generation rate(1/60 instead of 1/160 !), thus you'll - NEVER get bored there :) -- Implemented the much more complex trap system from Angband/64 thanks to the - patch made by Static Chaos. There is 169 traps (see tr_info.txt). - Beware that on average the traps are deadlier... -- It comes along with a new feature for stat system: temporary stat drain, - it's cool - -14/11/1999 -- Renamed Power Batteries to Essences -- The DG_CURSE can put the NEVER_BLOW flag on a weapon ... sadistic !!! - -16/11/1999 -- DSMs now have been granted the FLY flag - -19/11/1999 -- The monster memory now colors some important things about the monster (like - resists, speed, ...) -- Fixed a wand of wishing bug, that made them sometimes NOT use a charge -- Moved the special level DeathWatch to the Orc Cave -- Moved the special level Treasure Room to the Maze so people are forced - to play those dungeons if they want the artifacts -- Random quests will only occurs on PRINCIPAL dungeons (the one created by - splitting the vanilla dungeon into 4 smaller ones, Galgals, Mirkwood, - Mordor and Angband itself) -- To prevent too many YASD from the DG curse of Mathilde she has now been - granted 22500 hp, but as usual she can't attack :)) -- Fixed a bug that disabled the guardian at the bottom of some dungeons - -25/11/1999 -- Added main-gcu from Angband/64 to allow larger screens -- Added the new note command that dumps to a file from "Tom Morton" - <tmorton@yikesstation.freeserve.co.uk> - -27/11/1999 -- Added funny time message from Z -- Added object experience as suggested by Ceilti <Ceilti@aol.com> -- Fixed a bug when the magestaves were cursed - -29/11/1999 -- Added the small trees (along with a new feature flag: SUPPORT_LIGHT) to - replace the walls in the Forest and Mirkwood -- Some new gfx from Andreas, and the town of Bree with the new tiles - -02/12/1999 -- Add 4 dungeons by variaz@hotmail.com: Vanilla Dungeon(only from Vanilla Town, - The Small Water Cave, The Sacred Land Of Mountains(if you don't fly ... - do not even plan on going there), - The Wild Land Of Kurukar(It sure looks great) - -04/12/1999 -- New dungeon flags: HOT and COLD that affect object decay -- Add YA*IF (Yet Another *_info File): wt_info.txt - It defines wilderness features *, allowing a better wilderness map. Since - it now defines nearly everything a wilderness need to have, the map itself - only have to be an array of feature and seed, thus allowing a much bigger - wilderness. I also plan to have a Omega wilderness mode where you can have - an overview of the wilderness to travel quicker (but time will pass much - quicker too:) - The structure of w_info is also changed, it's uglier but well .... :) - The wilderness size must be EXACTLY the same as the size defined in misc.txt. - -06/12/1999 -- Scrolls of Reset Recall are now WORKING !!!!! -- The new wilderness mode is done ! When you reach the border of a wilderness - screen you go to the small scale wilderness map, where you can see all - the wilderness map with the towns/dungeons/... A lot of commands are - disabled there and moving takes MUCH more time, so beware of the food ! - You can enter the big scale mode by pressing > (this allow you to enter towns) - NOTE: The Death Molds CAN'T reach the small scale mode because their - erratic movements are impossible to handle in such a scale. - BEWARE: Your imprinted pets WON'T follow you in the wilderness !!! - -11/12/1999 -- Add wilderness encounters -- Add Oangband rod/wand stacking -- Amulets of the Serpent from Sadi Khan <sadik@christa.unh.edu>: - Resist Poison, Dexterity, some AC and Poison breathing - -12/12/1999 - PernAngband 4.0.5 - -18/12/1999 -- Updated the makefiles and renamed object3.c to traps.c -- Add 5 new essences from Sadi Khan: Force, Darkness, Lightning, Mana and - Knowledge -- Fixed the bug that was placing the player at the town entrance when - leaving a building - -20/12/1999 -- Add the tool slot.

But again not quite the same as you've seen - before. They can't be killed as easily as the other class. In fact when - their HP comes to 0 they don't die but become undead for a while. While - being undead their HP is replaced by DP(Death Points) that have a max - inferior to the max HP and that are slowly decreasing(1 DP less each turn). - They can use all the healing spells/potions/... but this won't stop them - from being reduced again. The only way for them to come back in the world - of the living is to kill 2 * player_level monsters. - -01/01/2000 -- Happy New Year ! - -02/01/2000 -- Add a new curse(as suggested by LucFrench@aol.com).

And the wilderness system has been greatly - improved. - Now to switch the wilderness mode, just press < or >. - Everything should now works properly - -16/02/2000 -- Each Nazgul will now drop his Ring of Power. They are randomly generated - and thus they don't appear in a_info.txt. They always give invisibility, - life draining and are heavy cursed. - -21/02/2000 -- Changed the format of w_info.txt again, it's much more readable now. - I also added a additional parameter to the W lines of wf_info to define - which letter will be used in w_info.txt -- 60x20, this is the scale of the new wilderness, it tries to looks like - the 3rd age middle earth map. Thus some dungeons leaved the towns they - were used to be to join their "real" place on the map. Only the Upper - Reaches of Galgals are still reachable from Bree. - -24/03/2000 -- Added a small hack from Static chaos to allow running faster with the - overhead map enabled. - -24/03/2000 - PernAngband 4.0.6 -- Possessors now have a MUCH better pseudo id, equal to warrior's one - -06/04/2000 -- Changed the wilderness map with the one provided by Gwidon S.

That allows you to get a .txt file - recording great events in your life, your notes, ... - Very useful I think - -11/05/2000 -- Fixed the artifact wands stacking bug -- Removed the Netherworld dungeon -- Added the Moria dungeon, it's not random and can be found in ... the moria - mountain chain :) There is Muar waiting you at the bottom, guarding the - Quarterstaff of Olorin -- Waldern, the king of water is back, and he is the final monster of the - small water cave, guarding a the Trident of Ulmo.

Doing so for the "weak" method would be too dangerous -- pelpel -[m]- The running code now uses DONT_NOTICE_RUNNING and CAN_RUN terrain - feature flags for non-conditional checks, i.e. everything but doors, - stairs and alike, and those requiring levitation or immunity -- pelpel - -23/01/2002 -[m]- Included the lua tutorials by Fearof4s - -24/01/2002 -[m]- Replaced the field of view code with that from Angband 2.8.3-- - -- pelpel -[I]- view_special_lite and view_granite_lite that work with non-white - terrains (for ASCII mode only, already done for 16x16 tiles) -- pelpel - -25/01/2002 -[B]- '-s' crashed the game. Thanks kobayashi for the fix -- pelpel -[B]- Doors are remembered, so that they work better with easy_open. - The easy_open code now performs checks for the perennially hard-to-handle - feature mimic field -- pelpel - -27/01/2002 -[D]- A fair number of dungeon guardians lost their defined artifact drop - and got a randart drop instead. The removed arts are back top normal - behavior(can be found) -[I]- Inven/equip/item choice in subwindows now clears to the bottom of screen, - to avoid glitches and in accordance with the way it worked -- pelpel -[I]- Identify and *Identify* don't list known/fully known items in - object selection -- pelpel - -29/01/2002 -[B]- monster_carry() could cause permanant artefact loss. A similar code - in quests and guardian artefact generation are also fixed -- pelpel -[D]- There should be less not-at-all secret "secret" doors. - This does *not* mean that ancient prob, but those mountains enbedded in - plain wall in Barrow-Downs, for example -- pelpel - -20/01/2002 -[D]- Some spells can now stay in effect for a while, like a cloud of poison - will stay in place and poison everything passing in it -[P]- Changed the magic system, it now uses schools of magic instead of - realms. A school contains much less spells than a realm. Each spell - is unique and dont make others redundant. Also all spells tries to stay - usefull for the whole game, by increasing in power and effects with levels. - A spell can be assigned to more than more school, in which case all the - schools need to be raised to obtain more power. All spells are implemented - in lua, to make it easy to tweak them. - All spells arent coded yet but my plans are for those schools: - Mana, Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Mind, Conveyance, Meta, Temporal, - Divination, Nature and Nether - It may change somewhat but thats the general idea :) - Books are not specific to a school, they can contain any spell from any - schools, it is even imaginable to have randomly created books - -01/2/2002 -[D]- Streamers use small tress instead of trees, a la KAngband and - variants that borrowed it's code. And they should look more like - streamers in most dungeons -- pelpel -[D]- Neither player or monsters can see through, breath, or cast spells - over small trees, that are outer wall in Mirkwood -- arena levels - were too nasty otherwise... -- pelpel - -02/2/2002 -[m]- los, player's field of view, and spell/breath projection now all use - FF1_NO_VISION for the sake of consistency (in addition to the wall - check in case of spell/breath projection) -- pelpel -[M]- Added a command to dismiss companions in the pet menu - -03/2/2002 -[D]- Moved wiz_dark() implementing the maze level from move_player() to - process_player(), so that a spellcaster can no longer do magic mapping-- - detect monsters--detect traps then casting teleport as often as s/he - wishes to make things incredibly easy. Because of my laziness detected - traps aren't displayed if they are out of sight. This would require - tremendous hack. Anyway, don't worry, they are still remembered -- pelpel -[I]- Auto-squelch menu now accepts ^R as an alternative to ^S, to be nice - for those who USE_GCU. Thanks Skylar Thompson for the problem report - -- pelpel -[m]- CAVE_TRDT wasn't cleared when a trap is disarmed, which had some - subtle effects and forced coders to double check c_ptr->info and - c_ptr->t_idx in various places -- pelpel - -06/02/2002 -[B]- Do not drop from wild if player were not in wild mode in previous turn; - it put player in wrong place and could crash the game. -- Kusunose -[B]- Summoning monsters from totems could crash the game. -- Kusunose -[B]- The Heavy Crossbow of the Elves was 'the ultimate armor' in the - fully identified description. -- Kusunose - -07/02/2002 -[m]- Added FF1_DOOR flag to open doors for lightning effects in map_info() - and have the trap creation code explicitly avoid them, because traps - have and should never been performance bottlenecks -- pelpel - -08/02/2002 -[m]- Some process_world() sections (most notably monster generation and - lingering spell effects) are conditionalised so that they don't run - in the overhead map -- pelpel -[D]- Added a dungeon flag that prevents generation of streamers, and - gave it to those with water/lava rivers and places like Numenor - and the Sacred Land of Mountains. Maze and evolving levels don't - require this. Also made lava deeper (dlev 34 or below). Trees can - appear on any flat levels. And eliminated undesirable calls to - the RNG in the streamer code -- pelpel -[m]- Changed all the signed (!) flags I was able to find to unsigned, because - they don't make any sense. Savefile code should be modified as well - if we ever care for savefile portability -- pelpel -[m]- The tunnel code (ordinary one) now performs double check for - feat_wall_outer and CAVE_ROOM (which was added a couple of weeks ago), - so it is safe to use any terrain features for outer wall, including - those identical to fill_type -- pelpel - -09/02/2002 -[D]- Rewrote place_new_way() so that it doesn't create unconnected dungeon - sections, destroy outer walls of rooms, or dig room corners -- pelpel -[I]- Hopefully finished special lighting effects. Now it works this way - (with all lighting effects options on): - Perma-lit grids and lit walls/doors within sight, and remembered important - features = f_info colours, Perma-lit floors and walls/doors out of - sight = darker colours, torch-lit "boring" floor = yellow, torch-lit - grids out-of-sight = dark grey, blindness = B&W -- pelpel -[D]- Angband dungeon now adjusts monster levels to the dungeon level. - The monsters here will have a minimun level in the range of: - level / 2 to level. So at level 67 the lowest monster you can encounter - will be level 33. This means that if a white icky thing is generated - it will be a level 33 white icky thing. If the base monster level is higher - then nothing is adjusted. - -11/02/2002 -[m]- (Temporary note) Separated staying effect handling code from - process_world() and made it a function, so that it can be called in - any place with in dungeon() [can be activated by #define pelpel :)] - I temporarily placed it after process_player(), but we have to spend - some time testing this, seeking for the best turn structure -- pelpel -[m]- Auto-squelch is performed *before* a player turn, just before the - pack overflow code to prevent some interface problems. This means - that squelching occurs as the very last action of a player turn, - after monster drops or even after pseudo-ID, so that you don't have to - press extra space to squelch items. Another possible arrangement - would be within process_world(), right after sensing -- pelpel - -12/02/2002 -[B]- Fixed a bug in the hook code that may or may not be the cause of - various quest-related bugs -- pelpel -[D]- Altars now have CAN_RUN flag, so that you no longer see the - message "You cannot run in that direction" when trying to run - across them -- pelpel -[m]- Added flush() before all the quest questions to prevent accidental - loss/declination/acceptance of quest rewards/quests, also added - very important flush_failure and flush() to the lua interface and - put that in the spell failure code, so that spells can be macroed - safely -- pelpel -[B]- Fixed a bug in the 6 monster randquest thanks to Louis-Frederic Michaud - -13/02/2002 -[O]- Elvish waybread renamed to lembas, thanks to nimloth -[I]- Because I find detection no longer works on panels, added DTrap status - line as well as a new disturbance option disturb_detect. Also removed - hardcoded row/column positions in the status line code, in preparation - for big-screen support -- pelpel - -16/02/2002 -[I]- Added scrolling target/look code, which is bastardised :) form of - Z and V ones -- pelpel -[m]- Depth/field name area is now 13 character long, so that names like - "shallow water" will fit, and "Lothlorien" is not truncated in GCU. - Also added short dungeon name prefix to the depth-in-feet mode -- pelpel -[m]- Because map_info() is the #1 bottleneck routine and because I felt - hack_map_info_default is incredibly ugly :(, I removed - hack_map_info_default and added specialised version of map_info() - for use by cmovie and the HTML screen shot saver -- pelpel -[B]- Fixed the "automatic ego filter" bug in the squeltch filter -- pelpel -[I]- Big screen is sort of working now, but main-xxx.c (have - to remove restrinction on size of the PernAngband window) and - cmovie are still needing upgrade -- pelpel - -17/02/2002 -[B]- Made panel_bound() more paranoid about the current dungeon size, - to prevent many big screen-related crashes -- pelpel - -18/02/2002 -[m]- Added 8x8 graphics support to trap display code -- pelpel -[m]- Added another graphics mode variable called graphics_mode :), - somewhat like use_graphics in ZAngband, but it doesn't - require any changes to main-xxx.c. It's set within reset_visuals() - and used by map_info(), so that it doesn't have to do streq() - each time it is called -- pelpel - -19/02/2002 -[m]- Added term resize hooks so that one doesn't have to hit the redraw - key and alike when s/he resizes windows. Hooked functions are placed - in xtra2.c, because they are only related to big screen support - and other panel related codes are there. Don't like the way stuffs - are initialised -- assumption about max number of terms, setting terms - package hooks from within the upper layer codes -- but the existing - implementations do it this way, and the "right" way requires changes - to main-xxx.c, which I'm too lazy to do... -- pelpel -[I]- Big screen support for X11 and XAW ports (already done for Gtk, Mac - and Windows ports). Also added an option -o to force the use of 8x8 - tiles in graphics mode. Say "-g -- -o" to activate it. And please note - that because of the way transparency effect is implemented in - X11/XAW/Gtk ports, it is available even with 8x8 tiles -- pelpel - -20/02/2002 -[B]- Beastmaster Shanty overpayed a bounty if monster's corpses are stacked. - -- Kusunose -[O]- Combining rod and rod tip now considers rod's cheapness flag. - -- Kusunose - -22/02/2002 -[M]- Restored monster light code, modeled after Steven Fuerst's implementation - insteand of APW one this time, but without his support for multiple radii. - -- pelpel -[M]- Made monster light a run-time option. CAVEAT: It'll cause display - weirdness when you turn this option from ON to OFF while playing. - Save/Restart or entering new level will fix the problem. - Should call forget_mon_lite() when the game detects it... -- pelpel -[M]- monster lite option is on by default - -23/02/2002 -[B]- A failure in disarming traps using easy-disarm caused another attempt - at disarming traps (because it calls move_player_aux which calls - do_cmd_disarm_aux which calls move_player_aux...), growing call - stack infinitely. It's dangerous, and, in fact, players were totally - safe from traps (messages said "You set off...", but traps were never - activated) -- pelpel -[B]- Black breath could crash the game (it's really evil, isn't it :) - Thanks Kevin W. Thomas for the patch -- pelpel -[m]- Ego graphics code now only tries to use graphics overlays for - monsters and players if and only if 16x16 tiles are used -- pelpel -[B]- map_info() had problem with walls mimicking floors -- pelpel -[m]- Shimmering terrain features no longer shimmer while running or resting - to make themselves somewhat more bearable on slower machines -- pelpel - -24/02/2002 -[m]- Updated lighting effect code so that it works the same as rr9's Angband - versions. Also removed hardcoded IBM pseudo graphics code points, so that - if anyone is ever interested in updating its font & prf files, s/he - can do so freely without editing the source code. - And map_info / map_info_default is now fully aware of c_ptr->mimic, - so that map edges will not have strange lighting effects etc., - hopefully -- pelpel - -26/02/2002 -[B]- Polymorphing random effect of Chaos Warriors could crash the game. - Special thanks for Kevin W. Thomas for the detailed analysis - of the problem -- pelpel -[I]- Moving onto quest entrance/exit no longer causes annoying automatic - stair movements. You have to tell the game '>' or '<' to enter/leave - -- pelpel -[m]- Renamed see_wall() in cmd1.c to see_obstacle() also added a grid-based - version of the function to be used by run_test(), so that those who have - immunity and/or levitation can run over lava fields, deep water etc. - -- pelpel -[O]- There are 2 kinds of spellbooks for the magic schools, the ones that - are named "a Spellbook of foo" where foo is a randomly choosen spell - (selection is based on the dungeon level) - and other names that are fixed books - -27/02/2002 -[O]- School spellbooks can be fireproof ego items -[B]- Dungeon town generation could crash the game. Thanks Mogami - for the analysis of the problem -- pelpel - -01/03/2002 -[B]- Supplied missing suid code in 1) savefile removal action in the startup - screen, 2) dungeon savefile removal, and 3) bone file removal. - Thanks kobayasi for the patch -- pelpel -[m]- Less platform-dependent savefile processing code for the game start - menu, thanks again for kobayasi. It now uses files.c utility routines - for building appropriate savefile names -- pelpel - -03/03/2002 -[B]- Special level names wherent corrently displayed if the N: line was the - first of the file in lib/dngn - -03/03/2002 -[m]- Added initialization code to add SPECIAL_GENE flag to final guardians - and their artifacts (and DROP_RANDART if there are no final artifacts). - -- Kusunose -[D]- Put yet another fractal code (unlike the others it's quite simple) - in the level filler generator, and added a F: parameter in d_info.txt - to control its behaviour. Its syntax is FILL_METHOD_#, where # is - 0: use the first filler w/o calling RNG (for Angband, Mirkwood etc.), - 1: the same as the previous versions (default), 2: slightly smoothed, - 3: more smoothed, or 4: max smoothing (initial step of 8 grids) -- pelpel - -04/03/2002 -[B]- '/' in item selection didn't update screen correctly -- pelpel -[m]- Moved squelch-on-sense code from process_player() to process_world() - -- pelpel - -04/03/2002 -[P]- High intelligence increase mana regeneration rate - -06/03/2002 -[B]- Level generation could cause infinite loop in the Sacred Land of - Mountains -- pelpel -[m]- Changed repeated message code to V-CVS one -- pelpel -[B]- Player ghosts were disabled in a way causing special feeling on - every level -- pelpel - -07/03/2002 -[m]- Trap display now uses x_attr/x_char of FEAT_TRAP (f_info N:17) - 1) if a trap is set on a "boring" terrain in the ASCII mode, where - only x_char is used and attr is taken from tr_info.txt XXX XXX XXX - or 2) if attr/char for a trap is not defined in prf files in the - graphics modes -- pelpel -[m]- Removed FAKE_VER_*, because it has been quite long since we lost savefile - compatibility with Angband 2.8.1 and info.txt files can be updated - by sed/perl/whatever script in a snap -- pelpel -[B]- Took 64-bit safe RNG from Vanilla -- pelpel - -08/03/2002 -[m]- To accommodate the practice of not upgrading version stamp of info.txt - files at each release (never done in V-based variants, but common among - Z-based ones for historical reasons), version stamp checks against game - data files in lib/edit is made a compile time option - (VERIFY_VERSION_STAMP), off by default. With this option off, version - stamp checks for the binary files are still performed and they always - have version signature of the game, not those specified by the V: lines - -- pelpel -[B]- Wide light radius worked in the small scale wilderness map, - where it should have been WILDERNESS_SEE_RADIUS -- pelpel - -10/03/2002 -[m]- Upgraded the lua bitlib so it can handle stuff like bor(1, 2, 4, 8) - -11/03/2002 -[M]- Confusion, stunning, charming now works on uniques(those that dont have the - corresponding resistance) - -24/03/2002 -[I]- Stats can now be displayed in a linear mode(from 3 to 37) instead of - 3 to 18/***, the option is off by default - -25/03/2002 -[D]- No more shafts in the halls of mandos -[m]- Block comments( --[[...]] ) in Lua enabled - -27/03/2002 -[D]- Tweaked the door code a bit so that some doors are much harder - to find -- pelpel -[I]- Added recall depth subcommand to the knowledge menu -- pelpel - -03/04/2002 -[I]- Removed the flavoured_attack option and made most 'silly' messages - off by default. They are now controlled by 'insanity roll', which is - d100 roll against (max_sanity - current_sanity) * 100 / max_sanity. - The same roll is also used to determine if the game should use - silly monster descriptions (in addition to the hallucination - effects) -- pelpel - -04/04/2002 -[I]- The skill interface no longer asks question whenever you increase skills. - Changes to skill values are made permanent if the player confirms them - when s/he leave the skill menu, otherwise, they are simply ignored - -- pelpel -[P]- The skill system is ready ! Some small tweakings are needed, but it is - mostly ready. Each level you gain a few skill points that you can spend - on various skills(like combat, weaponmastery, magic, ...). Most actions - are now tied to skills. -[P]- Classes revamped as more or less skill templates. Classes now can have - specializations which allow starting with somewhat different skill set. -[B]- Since streamers can create unconnected dungeon sections, the code for - it is moved after stair and player allocation -- pelpel -[m]- Reorganised the linkage order of makefile.org a bit, so that similar - files are grouped together, also frequently called files are not coupled - together with rarely used ones. This *might* help on-demand-paging memory - manager a bit -- pelpel -[m]- Changed all occurances of " ?" in strings to "? ". --takkaria - -08/04/2002 -[B]- Some player_type fields and corresponding lua interface definitions - were of different types.

There are less gods. -[m]- Renamed inappropriately called global array 'town' to 'town_info', also - moved some boolean town_type members into 'flags', in order to support - dungeon town information subcommand of do_cmd_knowledge -- pelpel -[m]- Commented out or moved many local variables causing 'unused' warnings, - because of badly placed if 0's -- pelpel -[B]- Player is now guaranteed to have initialive after entering a level. - Thanks Joseph William Dixon for the patch -- pelpel -[I]- The commands for skills and spells are swapped. Please use 'G' to learn/ - check skills and '$' ('\$' in roguelike) to learn spells. - -22/04/2002 -[m]- Renamed 422colors.prf to 422color.prf, to make it fit with the 8.3 naming - convention -- pelpel - -23/04/2002 -[O]- Bound the wands & staves damage/power to the Magic skill, attack wands - should actually be usefull now - -25/04/2002 -[P]- Magic skill now allows you to copy spells from books into various - objects. Not all objects can contain spells naturally, but most object - of the Magi can, and all mage staves -[P]- Spectres loses HP while in walls, it was too abusable(and in fact, I never - planned to remove it) - -28/04/2002 -[D]- The inn in Bree is now The Prancing Pony. -- Kusunose - -01/05/2002 -[D]- Small levels cannot generate full levels anymore -[I]- The prompt to cast a spell now understand to press @, which will ask for - a spell name, it'll look all books and cast it if you can. - It EASES macros, a macro will now look like: - 02m@Manathrust\r*t -[I]- Message recall now understands bigscreen thanks to pav -[I]- Help now understands bigscreen thanks to pav -[I]- Skill screen now understands bigscreen thanks to pav -[I]- No more pickup prompt with autopickup when inventory is full, thanks to pav - -03/05/2002 -[B]- The skill increase/decrease code was unable to detect underflow -- pelpel - -06/05/2002 -[P]- Made running commands exempt from do_nothing processing, because this - can be abusable and makes no sense -- you could, for example, hold down - movment keys when following Eru and use running when following other - deities -- pelpel -[I]- Took big screen code for horizontal scrolling of message recalls - from Vanilla -- pelpel -[I]- You can navigate through option menus with roguelike_keys -- in fact, - I didn't know users of the original keyset can go up before I play - the latest V and see its code... Taken from Vanilla CVS -- pelpel -[m]- Entirely removed function definining macros from script.c, because - it can confuse some compilers (a lcc case was reported), and some - preprocessor reports syntax error for missing macro arguments -- pelpel -[I]- Added big screen support for GCU -- pelpel - -12/05/2002 -[m]- Some, if not all, command line options are documented -- pelpel -[B]- Full map command displayed only half of current dungeon level when - bigtile mode is used. Thanks for Takeshi Mogami for tha patch - -- Kusunose - -19/05/2002 -[m]- 1) Slightly reorganised menus in the Mac ports, because there were so - many of them on the menu bar. 2) added a switch (-b) to the GCU port - to select multiple terms or one big screen. 3) the GTK port issued - huge number of fatal warnings if the graphics mode was turned on and off. - 4) Compiled latest V CVS with main-gtk.c in T.o.M.E. and fixed some - portability problems. -- pelpel -[P]- Pseudo-id is now bound to the Combat skill(for weapons/armors) and the - Magic skill(potions, ...) -[P]- It is now possible to press @ at the 'm' key prompt to select a skill action - by it's full name. Thus allowing unbreakable macro: - m@Cast a spell\r@Manathrust\r*t -[I]- The skill screen cannot be abused to get more skills anymore - -27/05/2002 -[P]- New god Melkor Bauglir -[P]- Weaponmastery, Archery and Barehand skills increase Combat skill much more - -02/06/2002 -[B]- Various spell effects that polymorph monsters could crash the game. - -- Kusunose -[B]- Compare weapons command miscalculated muliplying bonus. -- Kusunose - -12/06/2002 -[P]- Deathmold fetch ability pickups gold and objects(if autopickup is set) thanks - to "kenderband" <kenderband@hotmail.com> -[m]- Exported cur_hgt and cur_wid to lua by request of Fearof4s.

Bug report and fix (for Angband 3.0.1, but - applicable for all variants) by Hallvard B. Furuseth, Takeshi Mogami and - Robert Ruehlmann -- pelpel - -22/07/2002 -[m]- More lua documentation fixes, particularly adding square brackets to field - names on lines that would allow this without mucking up colour formatting. - -- fearoffours - -23/07/2002 - T.o.M.E 2.0.0 aka "Point of No Return" - -24/07/2002 -[m]- The splash screen now shows "Tales of Middle Earth" or "Troubles of Middle - Earth" randomly. Thanks to Scott Holder for the idea and some code. - (takkaria) -[m]- makefile.org now defaultds to ./lib for the lib directory -[m]- makefile.org is now makefile.std -[B]- Fixed a silly bug preventing Polearm masstery from wroking - -26/07/2002 -[B]- In multiuser installations, notes and cmovie were written under the lib - directory using the game's permission, making them inaccessible by - the player. I moved them to ~/.tome. Note: This means that a coder - shouldn't grab permission before opening files in these directories - -- pelpel -[B]- There are still inappropriate (and even unbalanced!!!) calls to - safe_setuid_grab() and safe_setuid_drop() in the game. Thanks Neil - for pointing out those in the macro save commands. There are so many - places that I have to look at, but I'm trying... -- pelpel -[I]- Better (hopefully) object identification screen - -28/07/2002 -[m]- Added safe_setuid_grab/safe_setuid_drop to all the functions that - access files in the lib directory. I did so even for the game - initialisation, knowing that it's very unorthodox. This is because - I found some of them in the init[12].c. There's no other sure ways - to keep them from messing multiuser installations. -- pelpel -[m]- Added makefile.dos, which is a copy of makefile (now), in order to - prevent overwriting accidents. Ideally, 'makefile' should be in the - .cvsignore, so that every developper can feel at ease with his/her - own preferred environment -- pelpel - -01/08/2002 -[P]- New corruption system, savefiles are compatibles but you will loose - all your corruptions. - Most corruptions now have a good and a bad effect. Some corruptions - depends of others, it means that you can only get them when you have - the ones they depend of(i.e: Balrog Form need Balrog Wings, Balrog - Aura and balrog Strength to work).
