New patch 1.1.2.7 for PWMAngband 1.1.2 released!
(all files available at usual location for download)
Misc bugfixes and enhancements. New lag meter. New macro definition screen. Wands/staves destroyed again on backfiring recharge. Preventive inscriptions (with ^ instead of !). New colored artifact list. New client 1.1.2.7 is required to play on 1.1.2.7 servers.
IMPORTANT NOTE: player savefiles have been modified, savefile compatibility has been ensured since 1.1.2.3, but this will be the last version that will maintain savefile compatibility with older patches; next 1.1.2.8 release will only be compatible with 1.1.2.7, so a server update is strongly recommended to avoid total reset for 1.1.2.8 (and players are encouraged to connect their characters to the updated server to keep their savefiles)!
Files updated: client + server + lib + src
List of changes:
- bugfix: a minor glitch has been fixed when displaying the list of connected players
- bugfix & enhancement: new simplified lag meter, client-side net loop rewritten with callbacks for more simplicity (main net input loop, store management, keypresses)... I hope this fixes the frequent timeouts appearing on the client, even when playing on a local server
- bugfix: the map should not be redrawn when swapping player position (it's already done when updating the panel)... this seems to fix the socket buffer read error on the client when running
- bugfix: various invalid checks have been fixed when checking if a player is shopping or not
- bugfix & enhancement: a player will now be unable to enter a store if another player is already inside the store at another depth (no_recall mode)
- bugfix: sound initialization was broken since last patch for Win32 client
- enhancement: ported most of the macro/keymap code from V309; the macro screen now allows to load, save and edit macros and keymaps
- bugfix: server crash during login/character creation (SETUP state) due to an error when parsing MotD packet received from the client
- enhancement: following the implementation of the "preventive inscriptions" system, the auto-retaliator is now disabled by inscribing any equipped item with "^O" instead of "!O"

Files updated: client + server + lib + src
List of changes:
- enhancement: MotD (newt.txt) has been slightly modified
- bugfix: it was possible to select multiple options for display in sub windows
- bugfix: toggling "Display status" when "Display player (compact)" was on (subwindow options) was wiping the left part of the screen when ESC was pressed

- enhancement: the options screen is now implemented as a vanilla Angband-style menu
Alignments with MAngband 1.x:

- DM Menu Enhancements (MAngband 1.2)
- Faster processing of ESC key (MAngband 1.2)
- Cleaner player_death (MAngband 1.2)

- bugfix: artifact highlighting was incorrect
- bugfix: player structure was not totally wiped when starting a new character

Re: Patches/builds for PWMAngband 1.1.2
New patch 1.1.2.10 for PWMAngband 1.1.2 released!
(all files available at usual location for download)
Minor release with a few features from vanilla Angband added and a few bugs fixed. Restore mana potions/staves of the magi improved. Point-based roller added. New client 1.1.2.10 is required to play on 1.1.2.10 servers.
Files updated: client + server + src + lib
List of changes:
- bugfix: the client display was not properly refreshed when a player permanently died (hps, messages...)
- enhancement: the option screen is now a fully vanilla-style menu
- enhancement: the knowledge screen is now a fully vanilla-style menu
- enhancement: the macro screen is now a fully vanilla-style menu
- enhancement: the starting cash bonus for female characters has been removed
- enhancement: point-based roller has been implemented (based on Angband 3.0.9, but implemented slightly differently: base starting stats can be chosen from 8 to 17; 49 points available, enough to choose base starting stats of 17/16/15/10/10/10; each unused point is lost)
- enhancement: potions of restore mana now restore 500 mana points instead of 300
- enhancement: staves of the magi now restore mana completely again
- bugfix: the description of gloves of the Istari/Magi shouldn't have tohit/todam displayed (since they are now 0)
- enhancement: the random artifact generator will now ensure that random artifacts get at least one ability that is not already given by their base item flag set (for example, it will ensure that a random artifact chaos DSM gets more than only resist chaos and disenchantment...)
Alignments with Angband 3.x:
- Quickstart system (Angband 3.1.0): allow players to choose a new character with the same race, class, sex and starting stats as the character that just died (useful for people who die a lot); if no previous character can be found, a male half-troll warrior with STR CON DEX CHR WIS INT as stat order is rolled randomly
- Make the status bar at the bottom display all timed effects (Angband 3.1.0): transient indicators (state, cut, stun, hunger, study, timed effects, trap indicator) now appear on the bottom line, depth and speed now appear on the main sidebar
- Common approach to monster/object recall (Angband 3.1.0): recolour the monster recall, make it use more compact code (using functions adapted from obj-info.c), with monster depth in red if it's beyond maximum depth, light green otherwise; clear up obj-info.c a bit; combine more things into sentences, use a bit of colour for the pval/bpval

- Fix average damage per blow displayed when inspecting a weapon (Angband 3.1.1): create a new struct, player_state, and put everything that gets calculated dynamically there; make calc_bonuses() take a pointer to a player_state struct and only update information there, not in p_ptr->state; simplify a fair chunk of code because of the above; optimise calc_bonuses() by gathering the collective flags of the inventory before checking them for how to update the player_state struct; make it so that the object information screen prints the correct average damage always, by feeding the object examined through the normal calculation routines
- Temporary infravision boost is now +5 instead of +1 (Angband 3.0.x)
- Extra might is now only added when not hindered by missile launcher being too heavy (Angband 3.0.x)
- Review and alter memory handling (Angband 3.1.1): don't worry about out of memory conditions; add a realloc hook, rename things a bit; ensure correct hooks set by using an API function to do it; string_make() no longer is const; memory macros that assign to one of their parameters are removed; FREE() always sets its argument to NULL; remove C_BSET() and C_SET()
- Always allow use of wrapping and space to advance in menus (Angband 3.1.0): allow use of the space bar to advance a screenful in all menus; make all menus wraparound at the top/bottom
- Make 'Glyph of Warding' 'shove' items out of the way when created on a spot (Angband 3.0.9)
- Banishment crashes game (Angband 3.0.9): fixed by summing the number of HPs lost instead of decreasing HPs for each monster banished
- Always cast to (unsigned char) for the islower(), isdigit(), etc functions (Angband 3.0.9)
- New command "-" (Angband 3.0.9): jump into a trap (walk with auto-pickup off, trigger any trap encountered)
- Alignments with milestone 3.0.9 completed!

***MAJOR RELEASE***

Files updated: client + server + lib + src
List of changes:

- bugfix: stealth mode was working the wrong way (when searching, stealth was added for all the classes except rogues...)
- enhancement: artifact light sources were rebalanced to take into account the new normal/ego light sources added recently (fear resistance and see invisible were removed from The Phial of Galadriel; fear/blind resistance were removed from The Star of Elendil and The Arkenstone of Thrain)
- bugfix: tunneling requests were not queued when not enough energy was available to perform the action

***MAJOR RELEASE***
Finally found the time to implement many features from MAngband 1.x that I left behind before summer. All help files have been updated... and that was a *titanic* work. Fixed two potential server crashes. And more...
New client 1.1.2.13 is required to play on 1.1.2.13 servers.

Alignments with MAngband 1.x:

- Tunneling into doors (MAngband 1.2): done
- Socials (MAngband 1.2): implemented differently in PWMAngband (more available actions, more complex messages, all directions allowed when choosing a target), and using the regular Angband scheme for parsing socials.txt like all other txt files in /lib/edit
- Spell messages (MAngband 1.2): done
- Party whispering shortcut (MAngband 1.2): done
- &say virtual channel (MAngband 1.2): done
- Revamp options (MAngband 1.2): implemented differently in PWMAngband (using the vanilla Angband 3.x scheme); "quick_messages" option replaced by "auto_accept"; new option "view_orange_lite" added
- "Repeat level feeling" command (MAngband 1.2): done
- Killing an unique monster in a party (MAngband 1.2): implemented differently in PWMAngband (parties share exp and win, but not unique kills)

- "use_old_target" not working for aiming/firing/throwing commands (MAngband 1.2): implemented differently in PWMAngband (in a much more simpler manner)
- Improved partying (MAngband 1.3): implemented differently in PWMAngband (party leaders flicker between base color and yellow except Telepaths who will flicker between yellow and light dark)
- Simultaneous shopping (MAngband 1.2): purchases are now protected by price (should fix buying the wrong item from General Store when the shopkeeper restocks the staple items), and visitors are correctly ejected from playershops when the owner enters
- Expand the '#' command (MAngband 1.2): add framework for custom interactive terminals; reintroduce the '#' command as "Check knowledge (interactive)" with knowledge lists identical to those given by the '~' command; add list of owned houses, flavor knowledge and kill count; add self knowledge and character history
- Memory leaks on server (MAngband 1.2): ports cleanup_angband from Angband 3.x, addresses lots of memory-related problems on server
- Double free / corruption during inet_ntoa (MAngband 1.2): fixed
- A player should be able to request their house location from the game (MAngband 1.3): done
- Interactive help (MAngband 1.2): done, using Angband 3.0.9 updated help files
- Allow *any* spell to be projected (MAngband 1.2): done, using PWMAngband spell system and extending the feature to ghost/mimic spells; fail rates for projected spells remain the same (they're already high enough...)
- Extended look at other player, "player recall" (MAngband 1.2): done, but without displaying player equipment (it's done with the party gear knowledge menu)
- Gold disappearing from player shops (MAngband 1.2): fixed
- Separate user/system pref-files (MAngband 1.2): done
- Make path initialisation more strict (MAngband 1.2): done

Re: Patches/builds for PWMAngband 1.1.2
New patch 1.1.2.14 for PWMAngband 1.1.2 released!
(all files available at usual location for download)
Minor release with a few code rearrangements from V, some tweaks to restore/resurrection spells/items, and the addition of horns and fountains.
New client 1.1.2.14 is required to play on 1.1.2.14 servers.
Files updated: client + server + lib + src
List of changes:
- enhancement: new items -- horns (base items, ego items, artifacts; activate for aggravation)
- enhancement: the priest spell Restoration now only restores stats, but it has been made projectable
- enhancement: the priest spell Remembrance now only restores experience, but it has been made projectable
- enhancement: new priest spell -- Resurrection (brings player ghosts back to life)
- enhancement: scrolls of Life now only resurrect dead characters; they cost less (100 instead of 500) and have their base level set to zero (instead of 20)
- enhancement: empty bottles can be generated again
- enhancement: "Use polymorphing ability" is now mapped to the 'V' command (both normal/roguelike keysets); CTRL-V is now unused again (as well as 'n' in the original keyset)
- enhancement: new dungeon feature -- fountains (drink for a random potion effect, fill an empty bottle to get a random potion)
- enhancement: new command -- '_' (drink/fill an empty bottle from a fountain)
- bugfix: drawbridges should be considered as non-basic floor tiles (same as water/mud tiles)
Alignments with MAngband 1.x:
- Filling empty bottles (MAngband 1.2): will be implemented differently in PWMAngband (see new feature: fountains)
Alignments with Angband 3.x:
- Unify useable/eatable/spell code (Angband 3.1.3): create some new infrastructure for unified effects code; move all items to the new system; nuke use-obj.c
- Regularise alloc/free use everywhere in the code (Angband 3.0.9a): use mem_alloc/mem_free instead of malloc/free
- Import all of Ey's object examination niceties (Angband 3.1.0): move player attack stuff out to attack.c; show breakage chance for ammo; mention when using a heavy weapon
