Preparation for FAangband 2 - Page 3

Oh yes, i forgot that FAangband 2 uses 4.2 as basis. So now bug fixing would be almost cross game too.

Yes, I'm keeping new FA up to date with changes from V.

Latest update includes percentage resistances. It doesn't exactly break savefiles, but it does make objects with resistances in old savefiles look a bit silly (immunities become 97% resistance, resistances become 99% resistance, vulnerabilities become 1% vulnerable).

At this stage all resists are 40%, and all vulnerabilities are 30%. The next major thing I'm planning to implement is randarts/jewellery, which will open up the resistance landscape a bit.

EDIT: Actually no, vulnerabilities either become immunities or make the game crash

A hell. I find cumulative resistances to be too much of a treasure hunt. I don't recall this change being much discussed?

Have you read the thread title, Pete?

D'oh!
Sorry Nick

Latest update has traditional FA-style randarts and jewellery.

Note that I would not recommend anyone actually trying to play this at the moment - it's unstable and unbalanced, and liable to be upgraded in a savefile-breaking way at any time. At some point before too long I will be encouraging play-testing, but that point has not been reached.

I am looking forward to it.

I managed to build and test the game last week. I compiled it on linux and had to do a minimal change on the source code in order to get it compiled. It mostly played fine but some things didn't work like the wizard mode, the world map etc..
I didn't bother to make an issue on github since i figured it is on developement and it's logical to have those issues.

Anyway, the game looks good and i can't wait to try a stable release.
