Official IVAN Continuation thread in forum Other Coding
Btw somebody submitted a bug report on Github with a segfault when trying to save games
https://github.com/Attnam/ivan/issues

Warheck are you able to compile the latest version and save games alright? Otherwise we should fix this bug / revert the code before making any big changes

They made other ommel materials not changeable (change-into-able) right? Ommel cerumen was just an oversight I think.

If that's the case I think it's still an exploit even though it's not as easy as just changing a chest material.

Scroll of detect material in forum Trouble Shooting and Bugs

I don't think there are any materials you aren't allowed to detect, but if you have less than 20 intelligence or so then detecting the wall material will scramble your brain since there's so much of the material:

That's awesome. The devs really thought of everything. I just played around in Wizard mode. I usually use detect material to find the enner but then getting near him is the problem. If I also detect the walls/tunnels, that would let me easily place myself in a good zapping position...

fastest / lowest scoring victory in forum Community Gaming
JoKe wrote
Cap gave me an idea for a challenge run...
1 hour Elpuri kill
Didn't quite manage to do it, first try 1h 7m 22s, score 34754.
Head delivery included
No artificial limbs, no pets
Wielded two +9 meteoric steel lightning war hammers for weapons.
Very low score since I didn't pay attention to properly clearing levels and leveling stats.
aaand that's enough IVAN for a while now

Quoted for posterity. I think I'm gonna try this when I get home. I'm sure others... slob, Z? already have some pretty low score and quick victories.

- The great thing about spears is that they are part of the "pole arm" type which includes halberds. That means if you switch to a halberd (which is much more powerful, and will train your Arm Str very well), you won't lose that skill level. However, they are much more inaccurate. I would recommend switching to a halberd after you can enchant it a few times to increase the accuracy. Some people also like the runed spear Vermis which is a special item... personally the random effects just annoy me

- you won't find many things in UT that are valuable enough to sell, but GC will get you wealthy soon enough

- When you're on the world map press 'l' (lowercase L) and you can scroll around and find Attnam and Gloomy Caves and anything else on the map. They might be off the edge of the screen but you don't need to wander around and starve.

What's the difference between necromancy and resurrection? Wands of necromancy never seem to do anything for me, so I assumed they were only used on zombies or something
