[3.4RC] There may not be much interesting here...

Level was generated with a D pit and a GCV, I was expecting "superb treasures"...

In fact, this is easily explained. Excerpt from the code:

Code:

if (rating > 250000) rating = 250000;

        c->obj_rating += (rating / 10) * (rating / 10);

obj_rating is coded on an unsigned integer, which maxes at roughly 4e+9. Any WoG, Kelek or high DSM will easily get a max rating of 250k when generated out of depth in a GCV, which boosts the object rating by 625mil. And a GCV easily has more than 7-8 of those, boosting object rating over the MAXINT limit.

Using a percent of the rating would probably fix the problem:

Code:

c->obj_rating += (rating / 100) * (rating / 100);

This means losing a bit of accuracy with low ratings, but I don't think it matters much what type of "cobwebs" you get on a junk level

There are cobwebs of shining mithril here!

Seriously though, good catch. It's amazing how many rollover bugs we've had to deal with lately; are we just trying for too much resolution or something?

Just watch out for that mithril spider....

I'm currently searching any level with more then scraps of junks. 2 egos, an artifact, a ring of free action & gloves of slaying was merely "worthwhile" on dlevel 13.
