Re: New items

Yeah the old amulets are good if you can find them in the dungeon with a low level character. That makes them great for Ironman but no so much on the normal server where people buy a lot of gear from the shops or players. The problem is that they are really expensive (making them out of reach of low...

Re: New items

I know this latest batch is mainly for weapons and armour, but there are some amulets that have become somewhat useless with the recent items from Vanilla. The Amulet of Terken with ESP doesn't seem to be any different from an amulet of ESP... maybe we could add something to the terkens to make them...

Re: New items

I would prefer to have random artifacts in the game, since out of all the variants out there MAngband is the one where they make the MOST sense. Although... "random egos" might be more appropriate considering the legendary status that artifacts have achieved in MAngband. We'd have similarly cool res...

Re: Item Inscription Guide

Wow, I just tried macroing \et1*t with arrows inscribed @f1 and it works! This must be a recent change because roguelike command macros never worked for me in older instances of the game. I guess I've been using @0 out of habit long enough that I never noticed when it changed. This should make shari...

Re: Item Inscription Guide

Good idea. Here are a few of the odd things I do with inscriptions. The @ inscription can work without being bound to a specific command, like this: @1, @2, etc. This causes it to be bound to EVERY command. So if you inscribed a book @1, then you can cast, browse, and gain spells from the book with ...

Re: Improved Partying - opinions needed

The monster attacks don't need to be flashy or anything. I'd just like a message whenever a visible monster breathes or casts a spell, just as we get one when a visible player casts a spell. I'm not worried about visibility for the party owner so much as for the group leader. I imagine a party start...

Re: Improved Partying - opinions needed

I would like to have all mapping and feature detection effects be shared across all party members on a level, or at least among those who are close to the one who used the spell. I would like to see some kind of message when monsters cast a spell on a party member. Right now, if you look closely, yo...

Re: rogue-like commands

I play with roguelike commands and whenever I need to use something found in the standard keyset, I prefix it with a \.

\ ctrl-d works for me.

Found a cool vault design based on that idea: http://zorohi.hp.infoseek.co.jp/photo/albums006.html

Re: Removing Vaults

That gives me an interesting idea, Flambard... What if we removed all but only a few awesome vaults, and then made them incredibly rare? Right now you can stair down in the deeper levels and expect at least 2-3 small vaults per floor. What if they were so rare that you could scum for days before fin...

Re: Strategy against bad moves

That is pretty unfortunate, being double casted by morgoth usually means instant death. He could have won that fight easily, since was using the same vault as me but with better gear and more HP. I used 5 heroism and berserk potions, which is also pretty paranoid as you only really need 1. I also us...

Wow, nice! This has to be one of the best side projects started by the dev team so far! I LOVE beef jerky.

Oh yeah, and the quest looks cool, too. :P

Re: MAngband Art exhibition

That is cool! 迷宮案内 = Dungeon guide? I found this excerpt from an awesome MAngband fiction by Kom: Kavlax heaved out a huge ball of acid, melting away nubnub's body instantly. I immediately ducked around the corner, lucky to have not been seen by the horrendous beast. I could hear nubnub's voice in m...
