Angband 3.3.2 - anything else to fix?

I'm running the 3.3.0 binary downloaded from here on Win7. Everything else regarding the graphics looks fine.

P.S. I just downloaded angband-win-3.3RC-197197f version and the problem's still there. I don't see any more recent version.

Is this the problem described in http://trac.rephial.org/ticket/1495? Or something else?

In either case, I'm not able to fix this - I know nothing about the tiles code. But I will see if another dev can fix it.

I don't remember it either - I remember fixing {good} myself, so I obviously didn't know someone else had done it. I do have a vague memory of someone mentioning it on IRC I think (or maybe here), but don't think I ever saw the actual patch. May was before we got serious about pull requests (if were even on github by then).

The Black Harpy looks confused.

That, I'm afraid, is entirely non-trivial to fix. We do have a ticket for it (#1502), but it's something for 3.4 or maybe even 3.5/4.0 - it's a lot of work.

Ok, Angband 3.3.2rc1 is now available from http://buildbot.rephial.org/builds/3...RC-f723066.dmg and d_m to insert Windows link later.

- monsters are slowed and hasted properly again
- the numpad issues on Windows *might* be fixed (feedback welcome)
- the origin of gold in special rooms is correct

If any of these aren't working for you, or you think there are other easily fixable papercuts that ought to go in, please say so in this thread.

It should be

Oh, I should point to a commit I guess

If you have questions, send email rather than notices here. I've mostly given up on the way V is heading, so I don't keep up with oook more than glancing once or twice a week.

OK, will do. Thanks for the link!

That makes perfect sense. What's the problem .

I assume this is the same code as the wand of slow monster bug, but in case it's a separate bug, note that staves of slow monster don't work either.

Yes, that should be fixed in the RC

No, I've seen the problem you're referring to (although not recently) and what I described is a different issue. But I do remember the annoying frequent redraw of the map screen and can see how the fix for it could produce both problems.

Let me download some more old versions and I'll see if I can narrow down the point when my problem first appeared.
