Sil 1.0.2

[WaveMotion]

Hi, I also posted this on a ladder comment but I'll also post here in case you missed it.

I think there's a bug in line 1326 of melee1.c, which says:

if (p_ptr->paralyzed && (net_dam < 1)) net_dam = 1;

It seems that if an already paralyzed player is being hit with a paralysis attack, then the player will be re-paralyzed and dealt 1 point of damage, even if his armour completely negated the attack.

May have found a bug. When I try to make the inventory sub-window visible while on the title screen, the game crashes. Doing it in game-play works though. You've probably found this already, but I don't know.

Ha! Amusingly when I was fixing this I first decided to delete that legacy line of code as I didn't think Sil needed to make sure entrancing monsters killed their targets before starvation set in. I then noticed this bug and couldn't work out what caused it or replicate it, as I'd already accidentally fixed it by removing that line...

How exactly does picking locks work? Does it draw on a certain skill, or is it just random?

It is a perception check, opposed against the door's difficulty. There are 7 different strengths of lock, just like in Angband. Come to think of it, I'm not sure why I didn't remove most of those -- surely 3 is enough? Or 1?

Got a weird one here. Was playing quite happily when the contents of my inventory and equipment windows swapped over. I thought this was a bit weird so I toggled their visibility but nothing changed. I then closed and reopened the game and on reloading my equipment window was correct, but my inventory window flickered from inventory to equipment and stayed as that. Now every move I take is slow and has the inventory window flickering as just mentioned. This means I cannot see when weapons are glowing etc or the weights of stuff on the floor. Very irritating. Is there a button I can press or something to sort this out?

Lost that character and reusing the save still has the same problem. I'll start a new one. Let me know if you want the save.

Yeah, send it to me: you have my address. That is very odd behaviour and I wonder if it will occur in the Mac version that I use.

I just had a crash while going up some stairs on the Sil-run (on this char: http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=13146) and now when I reload the game I am trapped in the NW corner of the level inside an iron wall...

Found a couple of bugs regarding unseen creatures:

• Shift-dir walking in a corridor can terminate when the player nears a creature, even if the creature is out of the player's range of sight and hasn't been seen.
• The player can get the encounter XP for invisible creatures she hasn't detected yet.
