Did we pinpoint the source of the imp bug in the end?

It's likely because their CreateCorpse() method is missing a SendToHell() call, so the mob keeps hanging somewhere in memory.

Sorry about thar, browni. Imps seem to be doing that quite a lot, now. :/

1) From the chat, what if some monsters COULD pray?

IDK about praying per se, but I wanted to add some form of "spellcasting" to priests that would be based on their god's prayer effects.

2) Mass applies to the weapon damage calculation. Does the mass of your gauntlets apply to your unarmed melee damage? 'cause it should.

Damage of all items is based on their material strength and mass. AFAIK the damage of your gauntlets is added to your unarmed damage, so the mass of your gauntlets already matters.

4) This one is out on a limb, it's a bit wild and game-altering. The suggestion is giving weapon skills unique effects, which become more effective with higher skill. They would be present at any level including 0, but unlikely to proc until you gain a couple levels in the associated skill. My initial idea was for kicks: granting a chance to kick any time you make another attack. The chance would be doubled for unarmed attacks and halved for bite attacks, and would increase with skill level. Other ideas I had were giving blunt weapons a knockback effect (like kicks), giving small blades a critical strike effect, and giving unarmed strikes a chance to attack again.

That would be pretty cool, like weapon abilities in POWDER or CoQ.

This past week the internet wouldn't give me a straight story for generating seamless periodic 4D fractal simplex noise in C++, but from what I can piece together from the few credible sources out there, I can say we are well on the way to being able to switch between continents and Pangea, and different world sizes.
I have a noise generator working in IVAN now (FastNoise library), which instigates the shape of the landmasses on the world map, in a way that can be controlled by a couple of parameters.
I'll put up some screenshots when I next get a chance.

That sounds great!

Here are binaries for Windows and Mac:

We don't have a binary for Linux, but you could use the Windows binary through Wine.

This... ...is actually pretty workable. All it needs is a separate second world map, let's call it "cloud map", and we'll be away laughing.

Or if we wanted just one dungeon to be found in the clouds, we could add something like a random chance that instead of this message, game::TryTravel() to that cloud dungeon will be called. Though exiting that dungeon would then need to be special cased, if you were able to enter it from any location on worldmap, otherwise the game might get confused where to put you on the worldmap once you get out.

I've found a segfault crash when a NPC spellcaster targets a mirror imp, because I bumbled a check if the incoming spell is from a wand.

I haven't yet, however, experienced a crash related to an imp dying.

Also could poison be non-corrosive? My sweet steel dagger of venom turned out to be kinda useless.

Yeah, I found that out recently, too. Poison should probably be non-corrosive.

Eating a bat should have a 1% chance of killing you.

On that note, in Omega, there's a tiny chance each turn that a cosmic ray strikes you and deals some damage. Early in the game, this can easily kill you. There's no defense against that expect getting more hp.

Omega is fun.
