PWMAngband 1.1.3 is out!

[PowerWyrm]

New PWMAngband 1.1.3 (aka build 1) released!

The 1.1.3 version is a milestone version... it includes all changesets from the vanilla Angband bug database up to #748, which corresponds to the 3.0.9a milestone. Unfortunately, it breaks savefile compatibility, so people running 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 beta servers will have to start a clean instance.

The list of changes below lists all the changes since the last beta update. For a complete list of all changes in the 1.1.3 build 1 release, please check readme.txt in the client /help subdirectory (or the in-game help menu).

Alignments with Angband 3.x:
- Rework healing potions (Angband 3.1.1): CCWs don't appear in the Temple anymore

- Implement and upgrade the 3.0.9 dungeon generator (Angband 3.1.0): note that the new dungeon generator doesn't generate any guaranteed excellent items in vaults anymore (the spots marked as "8" in vault patterns will only generate a "good" treasure up to 20 levels out of depth)
- Scrolls of phase door are now generated in the General Store (Angband 3.1.0)
- Try to make stores a bit more interesting/useful (Angband 3.1.0): start applying higher-level magic as the player dives through the dungeon (for PWMAngband, min and max levels of objects generated in a store will depend on the max depth of the last customer who entered that store)

- Make minimum starting gold 200AU (Angband 3.1.0)
- Make get_mon_num_prep() void (Angband 3.1.0)
- Add an assert to Rand_div() and rand_range() (Angband 3.1.0)
- Reduce the weight of torches a fair bit (Angband 3.1.0)
- Display "squelch" regardless of the status of the "hide squelchable" options (Angband 3.1.0)

- Make "Enter" no longer initialise selling in-store (Angband 3.0.9a): use "p" instead (reverting to old 3.0.6 behavior)

Other changes:
- bugfix: maximizing the Win client, moving the character to the right or bottom edge of the screen and then restoring the original client size didn't refresh the panel view (leading to a crash)
- enhancement: the General Store has now expensive (BM price) and very expensive (XBM price) items
- enhancement: expensive items in the General Store are now produced in small piles
- enhancement: *ID* scrolls don't appear in the General Store anymore
- enhancement: CCWs are now generated in the General Store as expensive items
- enhancement: potions of Healing, Restore Mana and Scrolls of Teleport are now generated in the General Store as very expensive items
- enhancement: only play a sound if it is different from the last one played; if a sound is currently playing, stop it before playing another sound (Win client)
- enhancement: unencumbered monks now also get extra ac when wearing very light armor
- bugfix: pressing a key constantly was freezing the client (response to keypresses was looping endlessly)
- bugfix: remove the check for failure when PKT_CHAR packets are queued (while screen is icky) to avoid clients disconnecting with "processing packet (47,47) failed" messages
- bugfix: the graphical map of the dungeon was not using "icky" screen mode
- bugfix: the party menu was not using "icky" top line mode
- bugfix: the DM menu was not using "icky" top line mode
- bugfix: all items in player shops were described as "not identified" when examined
- bugfix: scrolls of phase door/teleportation/teleport level/rune of protection and staves of teleportation were deleted/discharged twice when used (leading to a crash when teleport level scrolls were read from the ground)
- bugfix: wands of trap/door destruction were never discharged when used
- bugfix: the screen was not refreshed one last time before a client quits when a character permanently dies
- bugfix: the scene of death screenshot from player dumps was not displayed properly
- enhancement: when a character is attacked (or disturbed by a major cause), the server now sends an ESC key request to the client to force players to leave "icky" screen mode
- enhancement: always look for net input when responding to keypresses (done by replacing calls to Term_inkey with wait = TRUE by calls to Net_loop); this should minimize the number of "Timeout 08" client errors and force players to leave "icky" screen mode in all cases when disturbed
- enhancement: don't squelch equipped items (any item equipped should get the SQUELCH_PROTECT flag; this should for example prevent the stupid mistake of squelching worn rings of speed or power DSMs when increasing the autosquelch level...)
- bugfix: in some cases, true artifacts were not reset when deleted (when in a house about to be reset, when compacted in emergency, when dropped and no room on the floor anywhere...)
- enhancement: the ALLOW_ARTIFACT_HOARDING server configuration option has been replaced by a new option (ARTIFACT_DROP_SHALLOW); true artifacts can't be dropped in houses (except the Crown or Grond) or in the wilderness anymore, and if ARTIFACT_DROP_SHALLOW is set to FALSE, they cannot be dropped above their base depth (except the Crown or Grond); winners don't keep their true artifacts, they don't generate true artifacts, and if they find one, they cannot pick it up anymore (except the Crown or Grond)
- enhancement: glyphs cannot be created on artifacts anymore
- enhancement: the number of quest monsters to kill has been seriously decreased
- bugfix: a non-secret dungeon master could be seen, but not detected via detect monster spell/items
- enhancement: dungeon masters now get much less items at birth (some were useless and can be generated via DM menu anyway)
- bugfix: don't disturb players when they bump into a secret dungeon master
- enhancement: give ghost players the "invisible" status
- bugfix: fixed the visibility flags for players (players polymorphed into a multihued monster did not shimmer; party leaders did not change color; flags were not reset for players not on the same depth; players polymorphed into a monster with empty/weird mind were detected by telepathy; players polymorphed into a cold blooded monster were detected by infravision; players polymorphed into an invisible monster were detected by illumination)
- enhancement: the tohit/todam penalties on ego mage staves have been removed (it was annoying to waste time enchanting them in order to sell them); instead, mage staves are never generated enchanted and they cannot be enchanted by scrolls/spells; randart mage staves can gain free action, blind resistance and confusion resistance now instead of extra tohit/todam

[PowerWyrm]

Playtesting the new version on Newt's server... I have already found some bugs :(
One is particularly nasty: generating a Monk will crash the server because of the change made on AC bonus (division by zero). Expect some quick Build 2 release to fix all those bugs.

[PowerWyrm]

Server file has been updated with the fix for the Monk bug. Please update your server if you have the Build 1 running.

New PWMAngband 1.1.3 build 2 released!

The 1.1.3 build 1 version had major bugs... I needed to fix them quickly. So here's a new version...

Alignments with Angband 3.x:
- The monster list is now reversed, so tougher monsters (generally) show up first (Angband 3.1.0)
- Made the "current quantity" indicator that appears when buying an item more robust (Angband 3.1.0)
- Add a MN_NULL constant so we can stop using 0 in enums (Angband 3.1.0)

Other changes:
- bugfix: didn't update the version in the code (was still tagged as "beta")
- bugfix: fixed a stupid crash (unreferenced pointer) when updating the visibility for polymorphed players
- bugfix: fixed money descriptions (no more "copper worth 26 pieces of gold worth 26 gold pieces")
- bugfix: fixed a crash (division by zero) when calculating the Monk's AC bonus
- bugfix: player ghosts were supposed to get the "invisible" flag, but they were not
- bugfix: the visuals were not updated when setting a timed event permanently (invisibility, wraith, invulnerability)
- bugfix: some items were not dropped on the floor when a character died
- bugfix: the "value" of gold piles was incorrect (it was set to the base cost of a gold coin, 12, instead of the amount of gold carried), leading to gold almost never dropped when a character died
- bugfix: fixed a font problem when launching multiple Win32 clients on the same machine
- enhancement: the low hitpoint warning indicator is now also used for minimum time bubble scale factor (use 0 to completely disable slowing down time when injured)

[Hades]

Sorry for late update, I was out of town for 3 days. Server pwmangband.ath.cx is updated.

[PowerWyrm]

You should probably change your sig. Considering that I was able to connect to xdir only once in the past 6 months and that the stuff in powerwyrm.fr.tc/PWMangband hasn't been updated since (and won't probably be updated again), it's better for people to know about this forum to download binaries and source code.
