Announce NPPAngband 0.5.2 (final) released
This is mostly a release to fix about 10 bugs, the most prominent of which were that the disturb_near option and probing were broken.
Here are the links: source: http://download.nppangband.org/npp-0.5.2-src.zip Windows executable: http://download.nppangband.org/npp-0.5.2-win.zip Here is a complete changelist: Added a flag to monster_type "project" to indicate when the monster is in projectable los to the player. Fixed a typo in the message when the player gets their constitution drained by a GF_TIME attack. Fixed a bug causing memory leak when a savefile is loaded. Fixed a bug that caused probing not to work. Fixed a bug that prevented the disturb_near option from working. Changed monster AI so monsters will have the option to breathe when the player is in line of sight. Previously they only breathed with clear LOS and with no other monsters in the way. Reduced the amount monster breaths dissipate with distance. 100% damage now goes out about 8 squares (instead of 5), and it dissipates at a lower rate. 20 squares away, the damage is around 40% and was previously around 25%. Added checks to reduce or eliminate splash damage from monster breaths and ball spells for uniques, quest monsters, monsters of the same race, or of the similar race, or for monsters who breathe the same types of breaths. Slightly changed how monsters handle being attacked when damaged by the player when the player is out of LOS. Made changes to the makefiles to make it easier to compile for MAC. Added a routine that ensures there are always enough monsters on a themed level quest. Added project files for MS Visual C++ Express (Created by Brian Bull) |

What does the handling of being attacked out of LOS mean? I'm thinking maybe tries to cast spell, if the player is impossible to damage, wait up? That means you would see quylthulgs very nasty, and since NPP has 4GAI or whatever the AI is, would it mean it could also ball spell you?

In NPP, when the player is out of LOS, monsters who cast ball spells will try to cast one at a square next to a player if they can (for example, if the player is pillar-dancing the monster), to hit the player with splash damage. The change in 0.5.2 is, previously they would only go for splash damage if the target square next to the player was empty. Now they don't care if another monster gets hurt, they just want to damage the player. Monsters of a similar race, uniques, quest monsters don't take any damage, and similar monsters (such as a 7 headed hydra hydra getting caught in a ball spell breath from a 12 headed hydra hydra) take greatly reduced damage. |

NPP 5.2.
Hey honey, I found the stairs, all of them. Might need to tweak the 4GAI stair placement. Also, unrelated, I can't be certain, but I'm sure that some snagas, though asleep (or possible awake but out of LOS), were taking note of my cunning ways.

Yep, that seems to happen a lot in NPP. It likes certain kinds of wall arrangements for its stairs, and that particular room type is chock-full of 'em, so lots of stairs end up there.

I don't look that often, but so far when I look at coins, real money descriptions include a numeric value and mimic descriptions do not.

I've got 2 (minor) 'problems' with NPP.
1. Picking stuff up off the ground (get) seems to take a full turn, which breaks tradition with every other variant I've ever played. Also, get doesn't pick up GP that your standing on. Must use rest (5) for that. 2. Rooms full of stairs. If it's not a feature, then it's a bug. I can't tell you the number of times I encountered 6 or more staircase in a room, and I've only played about 30 dungeon levels of NPP, ever. It was quirky the first time or two, now it just annoys me for some unknown reason. Other 4GAI variants IIRC don't have this problem. Would it be possible to simply put a hard limit on the number of staircases that can appear in one room, like 2, 1 up and 1 down.

GP stands for AU.
