Armor Type Ideas in forum Suggestions and Ideas
As you noted, we haven't even balanced the three we've got. Would anyone even use these two types?

another one IVAN fork in forum Other Coding
Instead of just dimming the lanterns, how about switching the light values with the oil lamp? I always did like them better than lanterns for the atmosphere but they're too rare.

Fountains in forum Tips, Tricks, and Secrets
The biggest dangers of fountains are the level warping and the slimes destroying equipment. I tend to hit up any fountains in UT after I beat Jenny.

Oldest bones file in forum General IVAN Discussion
Chiko wrote
I have some question about bones... I've died so many times I'm starting to find the ghosts and corpses of more than one hero wannabe in the same dungeon floor. So here are the questions:

1-Do all heroes leave a bones file when they die or is it just random?

2-If a bone file is loaded, does it get deleted later when the hero that got it dies?

3-If question 2 is yes and the current hero dies outside of a dungeon then all the stuff is gone, amirite?

Also, it seems not everything is saved in a bones files. I found Miller, which died in a magic mushroom infestation but the floor was missing the tons of hostile magic mushroom and corpses. Maybe the monsters were too high lvl for the underwater tunnel so they got deleted to avoid unfairness?

1. Bones files are not guaranteed.

2. Is answered just two posts above yours.

3. Bones files are not generated outside dungeons, so yes, it's all gone.

4. That sounds like there was some data corruption, that shouldn't happen.

I just linked that in the post above yours Izzy. Which is itself a link, but it's there.

Vomit Attack? in forum Other Coding
One way to find out. Is the basic script course by the original devs in C++?

So far as I know oxygen and breathing isn't even part of the code, but swimming is. There's no need to go around in a circle like that when you can simply give the PC some way of swimming.

My point is not that levitation is better in fights, just that negligible stat boosts are not going to let these new items compete. Which is why I keep going over "utility". Rather than minimal strength boost, how about a damage multiplier? Instead of minor DEX/AGI, how about a crit multiplier? If the belt of carrying increases your weight limit without increasing leg strength surely such things are possible?
