Maybe he read this thread?

I didn't check the source, but I suppose that for each god there is a chance that he will give you a limb rather than do his usual effect. Better materials are harder to get, but you have a small chance of getting Valpurium or GEF when praying to Valpurus, rather than having the usual effect, which is something bad (unless you are a Champion).

Turn off "alternative direction keys" option in IVAN...

I think that a sink is an example of thing which should not be added. There is no sense to copy NetHack's joke. IVAN has its own jokes.

Unless you mean some kind of a parody of NetHack's kitchen sink. But I have no ideas how this could be done.

Corruption, mutation, etc. is probably OK. (I am not sure who invented corruptions, maybe ADOM, but it's an interesting feature - its "power" as you say - and also Crawl and some Angband variants have it.)

IVAN sometimes aims to be a parody of ADOM, NetHack etc. For example, NetHack has something like "cheap copy of the Amulet of Yendor", which IVAN parodizes as "cheap copy of left nut of Petrus", which is parodized even more as "expensive copy of left nut of Petrus".

But if something is done well in these games, and there is a logical reason to have it in IVAN too, then it should be in IVAN. (For example, you should be able to find gold in dungeons.) And AFAIK the reason why IVAN has no PC spellcasters, bows, identification, trolls (which are supposed to bleed with troll blood) etc. is that the devs have not implemented them yet.

If you don't remember the Version Requirements:

Every new official IVAN version must include a new disease.

I checked the source, and apparently you cannot achieve Chaos Ending if you are carrying GE Shirt with you.

Why would you want to anyway, if you can easily become the High Priest? (If you do, then just drop the GE Shirt, should work.)

BDR got it wrong about multipliers, it's 5x versus 3x, not 4x versus 2x. (Chaos is considered the third easiest ending, with death being the first one.)

In line 35 of your pastebin, you still have only -lSDL. I think you did something wrong with adding -lSDL_mixer -lpcre. Maybe there is some other place with -lSDL?

You have to install the C library "pcre", which my patch uses to assign sounds to events.

That's because I only changed the MinGW makefile (ivanmgw.mak), not the Linux one. IVAN 3D uses some libraries that IVAN does not use, and you have to tell the compliler about it.

Find your Makefile, there you should have "-lSDL"; replace it with "-lSDL -lSDL_mixer -lpcre". (This should be fixed in automake, not in Makefile, but I don't know enough about automake.)
