Idea for extended home / no selling option - Page 3

ewert · August 17, 2010, 22:04

Okay, I have found _two_ Ethereal Openings before PB3 now.

With chars such as rogue, paladin and ranger it probably would not be that bad of an issue. With mages, probably not as bad as priests. I even found an Acid weapon of high dmg dice (40dmg per blow), but hit chance, need to be in melee, no Prot from Evil either so...

Yep it seems something needs to be done. Actually that idea of having them in home is great. Could just put it in birth creation shop maintenance for home!

An even better solution for the books is probably just say the hell with them *being* destroyed. Fine, increase the weight; make them 6 pounds each (including the dungeon-only books) or somesuch, to balance out the weight factor, more or less. At startup, give the player, or stash in the home, one of each.

Very clever solution. Now I need to track down the original deltas to play it

The file I post is always full diff from the base trunk, not from previous mods ... or what did you mean by tracking the deltas? =P

Cool. I'll give it a try.

Just a lil info bit:

Storing costs 100gp. +200 if un'id for id service. +500 for wands/staves to "trying to recharge" em. Home is free of course. It gives the msg about cost but not same line as accept message and does not have -more- prompt, so it is bit hidden unless you have msgs in different subwindow like I do. Easy to make different later on.

Please report anything unusual etc., I tested it a bit and didn't spot any problems after a few fixes before I posted that version4, but there might be some of course as this is much bigger than the bruteforce earlier hack.

Was on a holiday (Cyprus, +45 deg Celsius on many mornings, yeow

), and seems no feedback so far. So I decided to upload the executable so people without the compiler set up can try it. Just replace old .exe with this one.

So, anyone interested in bigger "home"(s) and no-buying, please give it a whirl and report problems/ideas.

Updated the abovementioned linked angband.exe to a one compiled from the recent nightly.
