CSBuild Version 0.785j

Post by Zyx »

Good news! I decloned the dungeon with 785j and not only it solved all the clones, after several hours of playtesting I didn't find any clone-related bug!
A question, though: when I copy all but one, the "uncopied clone" remains marked with "!!!!" before its name when I edit it. Is it OK?

More questions:
1) Could it be possible to search for potions? I mean, for the Find object menu, could you add the potions?
2) I noticed that lord order (the monster like the "evil outside" graphic) only cast dispells. Basing me on the alternate ending of DM (if you take the firestaff- back to the entrance), it should cast fireballs (and probably other spells).
3) In CSBwin, when you cast a wrong spell, it says "... mumbles a meaninglss spell" instead of "meaninglEss spell". If nobody reported this bug so far, this proves that we have a community of veterans playing! (or that nobody plays anymore...)
4) All the lower cases in scrolls I edit are blanked.
5) The kath potion is not available in the potion list.

That is indeed Good News. The words "Several Hours
of playtesting" gave me the courage to release 0.786.
It is announced in a new thread.

The !!!!! is because I don't rescan the dungeon immediately.
I'll try to change this.

1) Carded.

2) Postponed. Ask again in a couple months. These kinds
of things require too intimate an understanding of the
code and require a lot of time to even understand well
enough to write down.

3) Carded

4) yES. i NOTICED MYSELf. rATHER ANNOYING. cARDED.

5) Kath Potion. I get confused. I was told not to list the
Kath Bomb, Pew Bomb, or Ra Bomb in the lists of special
objects. What is the final word on these things? So I don't
keep changing them back and forth.

5) I checked the problem. The Kath potion is available in the "special objects" list (objects triggering a pushbutton for example) but not in the "potions" list.
Only Sar potion and Zo potion have graphics and should appear in both lists. Other special potions should be removed from both lists.
