corrupt oangband save file

[skein]

The new oangband build for windows. Think what happened is that I picked up silver while blinded and instead of adding to my money it became part of my inventory instead. Zero weight and I cannot get rid of it by throwing dropping or destroying it. Losing an inventory slot to a bug is annoying as all hell. Any way to fix it?

Two other things that really bug me. When i want to choose a whole stack of something * is a miserable thing to have to type instead of a for all. You need to change all to a instead of *. Also I keep finding items that I have squelched, whats up with that.

A fellow has made up a fix as described in this thread, but Nick hasn't made a version update yet. If you can compile your own source, it looks like a pretty easy change.

That one's an industry standard, for better or worse. It doesn't seem to matter to me which precise key gets pressed to select "all."

If you email me a savefile (email on the opening screen) I can fix it for you. And yes, there will be an update of 110u at some point - probably a month or two. Or three. Or ...
