PWMAngband 1.1.12 released

[PowerWyrm]

Found something annoying...

If you have a missile launcher equipped, you cannot fire rocks, shurikens or boomerangs, which seems logical. The alternative here is to use the "throw" command to avoid having to unequip the shooter. However, the "throw" command prevents @ from throwing artifacts and "drops" boomerangs, which are supposed to "return when thrown".

I'll change the "throw" command to:
- allow throwing artifact missiles
- make AMMO_MAGIC actually return when "thrown" and not only when "fired"

To "throw away" AMMO_MAGIC, just use the "drop" command.

Note: the "throw" command is still limited to 1 shot per round, even if the class can throw multiple items (like monks or archers); to do that, you'll still have to use the "fire" command.

Very funny: I found a scroll of Wilderness Mapping with my current character on a supposedly "no wilderness" server; I read it and unveiled an area at (-6,31); I inscribed my WoR with {@R-6,31} and read it... and ended up on that area.

Two fixes for the new build then...

1) Wilderness Mapping effect defaulted to Magic Mapping if there's no wilderness
2) Discard (x,y) inscriptions on WoR when reading one if there's no wilderness (you stil can use @Rxxx to recall to depth xxx)

There's currently no server unfortunately. If you want to play, just run your own server locally.

I've added the Thunderlords from ToME in a previous version, but looking at the monster file again, I think they are clearly appearing too soon...

When I compare Thunderlords and ancient dragons, I think they should be similar in power: green Thunderlord vs ancient red dragon, blue Thunderlord vs AMHD, brown vs dracolich, bronze vs great hell wyrm, gold vs GWoC. So instead of 30/40/50/60/70, it should probably be 40/45/50/60/70. I'll change that for the next build.

Great... selling unidentified weapons with slays and brands actually give more money than the actual price instead of less because the power factor of slays/brands is miscalculated (unid weapons are treated the same as slay evil weapons). Ding ding ding... time for another bugfix version.

New PWMAngband 1.1.12 build 6 released!

Small update. Here's the list of changes:

- Add SEDUCE attack to incubi and succubi
- Fix ego Witan Boots losing their penalty to stealth
- Force update when entering a store to avoid bogus "you have nothing that I want" or "you cannot carry that many items" messages when trying to buy/sell items

The SEDUCE attack simply makes male characters remove their armor when touched by a succubus and same goes for female characters with an incubus.
