Hello all,

I play Angband 4.0.4 off a Jumpdrive on my Windows 7 machine; every time I go to reload a saved game or start a new character using a savefile from a dead PC, I keep getting broken save file errors. Bad header, or something similar to that.

I usually turn on sound and change around some of the Term outputs to something more to my liking then the defaults and it's getting frustrating, as I just lost a nice PC that was well on his way with good equipment and progress. These changes to sound and Term outputs are the only things I alter, everything else is pure Vanilla startup.

I don't recall playing from a jumpdrive being an issue in the past, but perhaps something has changed with newer OS and/or Angband itself.

Suggestions?

1) The highlight box will have to be included in the 4.1.0 bug fixes - still an issue in 4.0.5

2) Nick? Two years older than me, and living in the same city, no less!

Small world

I'll file the highlight bug - any more detail on when it occurs?

Apparently filename for savefiles are not allowed to contain spaces. This restriction should be removed.

I'm having trouble reproducing this. Windows, OS X or SDL?

Nick, Windows 7.
I also run from a thumbdrive (4.0.5 now, and 4.0.4 and 3.5.1 previously) without ill effects.

Nick W., yes?

OK, I'll do some testing.

Posting here, even though it's also possible in the April 26 nightly:

When selecting an item in a store using the mouse, the game will show the flavor of the item selected, which can give some unfair knowledge of what you might want to look into further.
