Any way to increase storage capacity of Home?

[pipMcDohl]

My heart broke every time i need to part with a unique item because i have no more place to store them.

collecting all the artifacts of the game is a good part of the fun. I would like a change, maybe a museum in Town where i can donate my artifacts instead of selling or dropping them. Of course the museum would keep the artifacts forever exposed to visitors (namely my character) no matter how long i dive into the dungeon.

In lib/gamedata/constants.txt, go to the store part, and chuck in a zero to max store inven max.

I always play like that as well, I hate wasting time managing inventory in town.

It will bork the UI a little bit so you have to scroll instead of use hotkey shortcuts after enough items are there, but atleast you can store all the artifacts.

Thanks a lot

I've seen people suggest the idea of a museum before, but they have usually been ignored.

You could bolster the suggestion with code for that museum. It already exists, in ToME 2 where it is called the "Mathom-House" (great name btw). So even if someone has only a little knowledge of coding, maybe some advanced copy-pasting would work ?

I suspect the ToME code wouldn’t be that easy to port to a modern Angband. The store code in general has changed quite a bit since then.

But you wouldn't need to. Anyone wanting to implement a museum should start by implementing a second home. Then you just need to remove the ability to take things out again. (And a few other things.)

In a sense, an "artifacts" tab in the knowledge menu could fit the bill? I don't have a version of the game around right now to check if there already exists one.

Not really; its more of a "look what I found" place for things that are interesting for a variety of possible reasons, but not useful to @ (anymore).

For example, the warrior finds the highest mage book on level 20 ? Chuck it in there, and in any future dumps it will be displayed with entry of the dlvl it was found on.

It is worth noting that the original fail rate when skill was less than device difficulty* was punitive beyond belief:

    let dd = MIN(device level, 50)
    if skill <= dd Pact = 1/(3+ dd - skill)
    else ???

I do not recall the behavior when skill was greater than difficulty, but it became asymptotic with unity pretty quickly. But activation probability below that level could easily be as low as 1:30 for a HT warrior, and was regularly less than 1:10.


* which (obviously from the code) maxed out at DL 50

Wrong thread @Pete ?
