Ideas in forum Suggestions and Ideas
While I agree with most of what you said, I disagree about locking it. The whole point of this thread was to have a single place where all ideas and suggestions could be dumped in without having a new thread for every one that'll only be a couple of posts long.

Shield of Fire Resistance in forum Tips, Tricks, and Secrets
I think rings, amulets and cloaks are quite enough. IVAN doesn't have nearly enough content to have anything and everything come with extra features like Elona. Shield use needs a complete overhaul to make it useful in its own right, not just latched onto another mechanic.

There was this. I never tried it out though, and cannot make any comment.

Differentiation of physical damage types in forum Suggestions and Ideas
fejoa wrote
I always wondered if it could be paper scissors rock between the three damage types and three types of armour. I haven't got any ideas though.

I believe that was the original intent and this has somewhat been discussed in relation to balancing armour.

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 (build: 2025, Apr 18) 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.
