I've got next. Not sure if it's good or bad that I'm following JoKe...
SPOILER ALERT. Click here to see text.
SPOILER ALERT. Click here to see text.
Basically extremely lucky character, found some really nice loot and boosted our gear.
The room that JoKe stopped beside with the door closed contained a broken Saal'thul! Might make a nice secondary weapon when we get more arm strength
Found a lighter and stronger pick axe
Found scroll of charging!
Found leather cloak of electricity resistance
Encountered a blink dog but he died in an explosion and didn't seem to reproduce
Encountered a chameleon, fortunately only turned into a skeleton
Descend...
Found scroll of wishing! Wished for gauntlets of dexterity. Later I would find a pair
, oh well
Found scroll of change material
-- 7000 turns --
Belt was a good call as a skunk just set off a mine on a step I was on earlier
Found wand of polymorph
Found scroll of repair
Decided to make use of some of our scrolls and wands.
Used 4 charges of mirroring (3 from one wand).
- Only read mirrored scrolls, saved the originals
- Repaired Saal'thul, mithril boots, and boots of agility
- Hardened boots, gauntlets, and cloak of electricity resistance to ommel hair
- Enchanted boots, gauntlets, belt, and Vermis
- Int is up to 16 after all the scrolls (from 12)
Have neglected prayer a bit but prayed to Seges and she's still pleased - filled me up and sent an Angel which I also dismissed
Found wand of resurrection
Found and drank ommel tears
Of course I find gauntlets of dexterity now
Next player will have to make some tough decisions on what to discard as our chest is too heavy to carry. I left it by the up staircase

Oh, yeah, that's what I meant. Not immediately but probably before your limb dropped off

I think if you actually contracted leprosy in real life, you'd be able to tell. So I agree with the messages being spaced out, but not too obvious.
I don't think I've ever seen my charisma drop from it. Maybe that should be more likely to occur (but you should get it back when you're healed)
And also agree with angels being immune

Oh, oops. I had disabled those because i was worried about security. I'm not going to allow zip but I allowed tar, gz, and dat files

Light Intensity
in forum Other Coding
Split into a new thread and I also like the LightLevelModifier option. That way you could force an area to be dark / lit by the environment even if the character is carrying a brighter source

Planning for Release
in forum IVAN Development
It's shift+X and it has to be compiled with wizard mode enabled.
For Git not sure, I've never seen anything about validation? If it needs authorization then you probably need to add your ssh key to your github account

Thanks guys. Sometimes I'm too resistant to change and need others to push for changes like this but I definitely felt uncomfortable with this one.
It's been a long time but I recall discovering it by accident with blink dogs. It's definitely a memorable "aha!" moment for anyone who figures it out. But I agree that after you do figure it out it's easy to repeat.
I'm not really sure what the answer is though. The game is so well balanced that it's hard to expand upon.
Even when trying to get permanent ESP I've rarely been able to without a wand of cloning. And in that case, 3 corpses vs 5 is just an extra charge and not much more difficult. (On the other hand 3 probably IS doable without a wand and 5 is not)
fejoa, that's a good point. Telecontrol is particularly useful in GC because of the mystic dark frogs and mages

I still think it's too high. I think we sometimes lose perspective. Maybe it's easy for us but for someone who's new to IVAN, in the past permanent telecontrol is something they could have discovered on their own. Now it's pretty much impossible that they'd discover it without reading the forum/wiki
