Just found a new monster type - water wapor. Should be vapor

Maybe pseudo occurring in the quiver was the problem.

It could be as simple as putting a) barehanded attack in the equipment list (when no weapon is wielded). Then I)nspecting it could provide info.

Thanks for the bug finding/fixing/solution ideas, you guys :) Welcome to oook, GF_ARROW!

I've run into a couple issues so far... the quiver issue has already been reported, but not for the throw command. You can throw items by pessing the correct letter but they do not show up when pressing 'v.'

Also, it would be great if the list of powers was automatically shown each time. Lastly, the 8x13 font does not display correctly using windows XP.

Yeah, I don't think the quiver shows up for any command..
Showing the list of powers each time should be an easy change.
Passing the buck here, but IIRC there are some problems with 8x13 font and Windows XP in Vanilla.. what kind of display problem is it, and have you seen it happen in V?

Replace the ! with a ~ to allow half-damage of elemental attacks.

Actually, I'm kind of curious about this one.. did this

Code:

                                if (type != GF_ARROW)

                                {

                                        project(-1, 0, y, x, (k + 1)/2, type, flg);

                                        /* Make the physical portion TOP SECRET -Simon */

                                        flg &= !(PROJECT_AWARE);

                                        project(-1, 0, y, x, k/2, GF_ARROW, flg);

                                }

                                else

                                        project(-1, 0, y, x, k, type, flg);

turn off all the flags before projecting?

It looks to me like the code should be fine.

!(PROJECT_AWARE) should look something like 111111011111 so &=ing should only remove that one flag like the code seems to indicate it should. Presumably he only wants one bolt to appear even though it actually projects two separate bolts.

An alternate approach would be to split out the damage with a new type flag instead.

IIRC the original Pos had these, spelt the same. Doesn't mean it was intentional ;)

I get this problem too. Floor tiles show up as white rectangles, as do walls. This makes it very difficult to distinguish between the two, and makes adventures in the dungeon very tedious until the font is changed to something else (I do this every time I start a new install of RePos).

RePos 6.3 playing with the comp lich.

The nether bolt is fairly useless because of it's high mana cost and everything seems to resist it.

A young red dragon resists it, should it? It doesn't show as resisting nether in the monster memory. As a matter of fact, I think that everything may resist both nether bolt and the death orb. I'm afraid to try it any more.

All evil monsters resist nether to some degree.

I don't use it much either, so I've reduced the mana cost. It does (player level - 9)d8 so presumably at high levels it's a decent little attack, but at high levels it also doesn't matter much if it costs 7 mana or 3 mana. It looks like it's supposed to be the lich's main attack spell as well so it should be pretty good.

Yes. As already noted, problem is using logical-not ! rather than bitwise complement ~; it should read

Code:

flg &= ~(PROJECT_AWARE);
