Allow use of objects from the floor when blind.
Fix obviously wrong code in main-gcu. (William McBrine)
Aways cast to (unsigned char) for the islower(), isdigit(), etc functions
Fixed Windows bug where you can't move one of the font files after having played
a game this reboot. (Thanks to Leon Marrick.)
Modernize Mac support; now works on OS X 10.3 onwards, but the old main-mac has
been removed, as has the MPW makefile. (Pete Mack)
Remove hardcoded values for p_ptr->noscore.
Use tables of commands instead of a big switch, to allow doing thing like the ne
w command menu easily without duplication. (See cmd0.c.)
Use C99 types where appropriate (for bools and ints).
Replace various magic numbers with constants or N_ELEMENTS(). (Hallvard Furuseth
)
Move lots of things out of defines.h to more appropriate places, like h-basic.h
and config.h.
Use the safer string handling functions much more; the only use of the "unsafe"
built-ins are in the various main-* files.
Clean up file locking, move file handling functions into z-file.c, remove usleep
() function, add a "portable" directory scanning interface (works on Windows and
Unixes at the moment), and my_fexists().
Combine the various h-*.h files into a single header file; remove a lot of cruft
, use C99 types when available,
Removed trivial-to-hack-around or non-functional compile-time options (VERIFY_SA
VEFILE, _TIMESTAMP, and _HONOR, CHECK_TIME).
Considerably simplify and speed up main-gcu.c. (Thanks to Christer Nyfalt.)
Use a new autoconf/automake system, called OMK.
Timed player modifiers (blind, confused, etc.) are now kept in an array, rather
than being seperate variables in p_ptr. This simplifies a lot of code, and makes
it trivial to add new effects. The majority of the work was done using sed scri
pts.
The status line, sidebar, and term window update code is much more streamlined.
Nuked a lot of old ports: cap, lsl, sla, xpj, ibm, dos, vcs, lfb, ami, emx, vme.

As a result of the above, makefiles considerably simplified. As many makefiles a

s possible use a common list of source files in "Makefile.src", which simplifies
maintainance. Makefile.std has also been rewritten and contains much less cruft
.
A powerful generic menu interface has been added and used throughout the code. I
t reduces code duplication and makes it much much easier to create menus in vari
ous styles; e.g. scrolling or multicolumn. See ui.c.
Event handler added. (Menus can listen to each other, etc.)
Lots and lots of code duplication removed:
Major code cleanup
Most of the cleanup has been related to removing ancient or non-functional cruft
.
"Enter" key brings up a little window in the middle of the screen, from which yo
u can select what command you would like to use. This is inspired by (but not de
rived from) Hengband. Don't like it? Macro "Enter" to " ".
Semi-rewrite of the store code; now uses a scrolling menu with a slightly more s
treamlined interface. Bigscreen support in stores. Ammo is treated in more aesth
etically pleasing quantities. General Store always stocks what it stocks now, an
d doesn't buy anything back off the player.
Resizing the game window automatically updates its contents, on platforms which
support this.
Mouse support a la FAangband added, but nowhere near as advanced or useful. Most
of the menus you encounter can be selected using the mouse now, as well as usin
g keypresses. Clicking somewhere on the map will now "walk" there, within certai
n constraints. It's a tad bizarre in the town, but seems to work OK otherwise.
Score code moved to score.c and extensively refactored.
Move to using randint0() and randint1() for random numbers.
Use header file guards in all header files, and use a consistent naming scheme f
or them ("Elly")
"make -f Makefile.inc depgen" will output "Makefile.new", which then contains up
-to-date dependencies for the project.
Remove a whole load of useless or unused configuration options from config.h.
Set up an event system for UI display updates, where the game communicates with
the UI by sending messages saying that something's changed that the UI might be
interested in, rather than deciding that specific things should be redraw. The m
ain screen updates all use this system now. Amongst other things, this system sh
ould help things like the borg and graphical frontends, because they can hook ri
ght into changes in state. (#348)
Additionally, a new file API has been introduced which combines the previous mis
hmash of fd_*() and my_f*() calls into a simpler, better documented interface. (
#137)
"Elly" rewrote the message and quark packages, previously in util.c, and in the
process split them out into their own z- files. The z-msg package is now much mo
re understandable but marginally less "efficient", and certainly less "optimised
".
Memory handling has been reviewed. Now, all code should assume that allocation w
ill succeed, just like it did already. There is also a realloc()-style function
along with its own hook. string_make() has been modified to no longer return a "
const char *", and so all the code now only uses "const" when it means "const".
Some macros have been removed.
A lot of code-level cleanup has been applied to this release, much of it still i
n flux. Many new files have been split out of existing files, which should now h
ave much more self-explanitory names.
OS X: the OS X version is now a universal binary, and runs faster, better, quick
er, and with more sound than before. (Rowan Beentje)
Code-level
Rewrite the rules for shopkeepers
Remove individual-shopkeeper and race-based price changes from the store code, t
o make it easier to balance pricing.
?Adjust adj_chr_gold[] values upwards to represent the average-110% inflation us

ually applied by the individual-shopkeeper greed values. This should really be a

pplied to the object.txt file instead, though.
Make point-based points worth less gold.
Minimum starting gold is 200AU.
Add an option to start the character with 500AU but no equipment.
Point-based character generation is now equivalent to best available from the au
toroller. (Eddie Grove)
Windows versions now use hashes and percent signs for walls until there's time t
o sort out all existing fonts to be Vista-compatible. (#232)
Tell the payer when timed effects increase or decrease as the result of effects.
(idea by Eddie Grove)
Death menu now uses a scrolly menu.
Ensure that store-bought and birth-given torches have the same number of turns f
or stacking purposes.
Remove the "depth_in_feet" option, instead displaying both the dungeon level and
the depth everywhere.
Add how many items the player already has when buying something at the store. (c
loses #151)
Add a trap detection indicator. Also, colour the edges of trap- detected areas g
reen. (#19)
Add EyAngband-style quickstart option.
Significant work on making the game more command-based than keypress-based
Add Word of Recall status to the status line.
Remove the autoroller
Stop displaying two highscore entries for dead characters.
Reset social status to original value with quickstart
Fix inventory/equipment and message update in store.
Throughout the source code, changed the spelling of "lite" to "light".

Imported the UNangband terrain system.
Effects (spells that can last for a set duration)
Added most changes from Angband 3.0.6, namely:
- Renamed the artifact short sword 'Gilettar' to 'Dagmor' since that
name is mentioned for the sword of Beren in Tolkien's notes.
(suggested by Tyler Witter)
- Added a new type of subwindow for displaying the dungeon area around
the player.
- Added a new subwindow type "Display player (compact)" that displays
the left-hand-side of the main term (player stats, hitpoints, gold,
...) in a separate window.
- Added a new window type that displays the info from the status line.
- Turned the "scroll map while targetting" option permanently on.
- Identified scrolls can now look different from unidentified ones.
This allows the use of the individual scroll tiles created by David
Gervais.
- Use actual monster and object symbols instead of a list of hardcoded
symbols when hallucinating.
- Added Craig Oliver's Sound FX Patch version 1.1 that adds about 120
new sound events to the game. COding Support for this feature only.
The actual sound files are not included as the origin and conditions
of use for these sound files were not certain.
(see also http://www.chambrook.org/angband/soundfx.php)
- Scroll the map when the player is 1/4th of the visible grids away from
the edge of the map display.
- Allow the OS X version to be started from a read-only medium, for
example from a disk image or a central installation under
'Applications'. All user-specific files like savefiles, scores,
char-dumps, and saved preferences are stored in

'Library/Preferences/Angband/' and its subfolders inside the user's

home directory.
The Mac OS X application bundle now includes all the necessary files
from the lib folder. The separate lib folder in the distribution is
no longer necessary. This means that the OS X version can now be
installed by simply dragging the application icon to the target
directory.
The OS X version would crash when changing the sound or graphics
options before a character was created or loaded. (reported by Patrick
Hughes)
Don't save the Mac OS X preferences on exit if the game hasn't been
initialized properly to prevent corruption of the preference file in
case of an error at startup. Skip loading the preference file if it
is broken. (problem reported by Matt Stone)
Include the basic Angband sound files per default in the OS X version.
Made the tile size independent of the font size in the X11 version.
Store various window settings like the window size between sessions.
Don't add a hardcoded 'games' subdirectory to the installation path on
multi-user machines.
Allow all user created files to be saved in subdirectories under
~/.angband/Angband/ when PRIVATE_USER_PATH is defined.
Allow the use of the 'vcs' display module on systems with devfs-style
'/dev/vc/*' terminals.
The virtual console (vcs) front-end does now implement cursor
visibility and bigscreen support. (Alexander Ulyanov)
Enable cursor visibility in the "gcu" front-end on Linux systems.
(Alexander Ulyanov)
Fixed a bug in the Xaw frontend, which made Angband crash if the main
window geometry was specified as an X resource. (Alexander Ulyanov)
Make X11 frontends show floors as centered dots, walls as blocks, and
treasures as diamonds. (Alexander Ulyanov)
Removed the restriction of bigtile mode to the main window in the X11
version.
Added Alexander Ulyanov's Linux framebuffer display module from:
http://posband.earthsea.org/misc/angband-lfb-20050220.tar.gz
Added compile instructions for MinGW/MSYS on Windows. (Tuomas
Hrknen)
Added compile instructions for gcc on Mac OS X.
Fixed a stupid bug that could cause the game to hang or crash when
killing quest monsters near the edge of the dungeon. (Ivan Tuckwell
and Dr. Andrew White)
Added missing tiles and tile assignments for the 32x32 tiles. (Ivan
Jekic and David Gervais)
Refresh the list of visible monsters after (Mass) Banishment,
Earthquake, and Destruction spells, when using the 'delete nearby
monsters' function in debug mode, as well as when pressing Ctrl-R.
("Twilight")
Don't try to write zero-length blocks when saving the lib/data/*.raw
files. (suggested by Juha Niemimaki)
Fixed a Angband 3.0.6 alpha 1 specific crash with the Mac OS X 10.4
(Tiger) caused by releasing a reference that should not be released.
(reported by Harry Erwin)
The experience loss as a result of one of the One Ring's activations
is now 1/4 of both max and current experience instead of the
unintended reduction of max exp by 3/16 of the current experience.
(Hugo Kornelis)
Cleaned up the handling of experience draining when the player has
Hold Life. The fixed part of the exp drain by nether breaths is now
also reduced by Hold Life. (Hugo Kornelis)
The object description for the 'cure wounds' activation reads

"activates for cure wounds (4d7)", but it actually cures 4d8 points of
damage. The description has been fixed. (Hugo Kornelis)
- The "recharge item" artifact activation can now be canceled at the
"Recharge which item" prompt without draining the artifact's charge.
(Hugo Kornelis)
- The symbol for the Shield of Deflection was a light blue [ instead of
a ) like all other shields. (Hugo Kornelis)
- Reduced the price for "Raal's Tome of Destruction". (Hugo Kornelis and
Timo Pietila)

Bugs:
Fixed an error in calculating fractional experience
Some hydras did not have the animal flag.
Evil Iggy did not have the evil flag
Azathoth could be summoned by the summon demon spells.
Fixed bug where disconnected rooms can be generated.
Dragon ARmor and Shields could not be chosen to be made into an artifact.

birth_no_quests for people who want a more 4gai Vanilla Angband-ish game.
Added Eytan Zwiegs increase hp when player gains levels patch.
Experience gain from monster death is re-calculated and reduces when the increas
e causes the player to gain
a level (to limit a low-level player jumping many levels when killing a quest or
OOD monster).
Made monster missile attacks (arrows, shots, bolts, boulders)
occasionally miss or bounce off the shield, and AC helps reduce damage from thes

Fixed the description for probing to indicate it requires a target.
Made the damage for staves and rods of light 6d8, consistent with the descriptio
ns.
Fixed some inconsistent words in the quest help file.
Rings of poison and nether resistance had the same TVAL/SVAL combination.
Some of the tilesets in the Windows version were obsolete files.
Corrected the written note for when player ghosts were killed.

some items harder to find than they should have been.
NPPAngband 0.4.0

Added most changes from Angband 3.0.5, including:

Changes in Angband 3.0.5:
- Summoned creatures appear near the caster now instead of near the
player.
- Made rods of detection invulnerable to electric attacks.
- Restored the old behavior of the Glyph of Warding to protect against
direct melee attacks when standing on it.
- The minor vault "Interlock" had switched height and width definitions,
causing it to be created in a chaotic state. (Werner Baer)
- Spells that prompt the user for an item (identify, enchantment,
recharging) or an monster letter (banishment) no longer use mana if
canceled.
- Removed the book system of storing the spell order.
- Give energy to monsters and the player at the end of the game turn

instead of at the start. This prevents various odd effects when

loading a saved game. (reported by Phil)
Removed the autoroller delay.
Cleaned up the paragraph handling in the object descriptions.
(Hallvard B Furuseth)
"It cannot be harmed by acid and fire" should be "... acid *or* fire".
(Hallvard B Furuseth)
Piles of wands, staves, and rods can be used from the ground without
picking them up first.
Fixed a problem in the Unix/Linux makefiles. The POSIX standard
doesn t allow a dot instead of a colon as separator for the chown
parameters.
Removed an accidental use of floating point code that prevented
Angband from running on old machines without an FPU.
The "pseudo graphics" used by the (n)curses version didn t support
terrain lightning correctly.
The window resize control was sometimes overwritten with a black tile
in the OS X version.
Removed the warning message about missing preferences from the OS X
version. The first thing a new player sees after starting Angband
shouldn t be a "scary" message.
Added project files for building Angband with MS Visual C++ 7.1.
(Tasha Jessup)

Bugfixes (already fixed)

Not failing a guild quest if a monster teleports the player off the level no
longer shows the player as not undertaking a quest until the game is re-started.

Writing a note with a % in it could cause a nonsense note to be written.
Monsters, when teleporting-to-player, can no longer appear on glyphs of warding.
When throwing certain potions and killing a creature, it wasnt noted if the
monster died, leading to strange and extraneous messages.
Corrected numerous typos in NPP monster, object descriptions, and option

e).
Added an updated font file by Kurt Tannert.

Incorporated almost all changes from Angband 3.0.4, specifically:

Changes in Angband 3.0.4:
- Chaos resistance protects against confusion by chaos based attacks.
- Smoothed out the tables for extra mana-points per level, hitpoint
bonus from constitution, "spells per level" vs. "spell stat", and
INT/WIS dependent failure rate adjustment. The old steps have been
replaced by a steady increase, so small stat improvements are more
useful. Please note that this will also affect characters imported
from older versions, so these might gain or lose some spells, mana,
and hitpoints when imported into Angband 3.0.4 (or NPP 0.4.0).
- Gave the thanc daggers a 2d4 damage dice instead of 1d4 and made them
more common. (Jonathan Ellis)
- Gave each of the Paur* gauntlets a single minor power (slow-digestion,
regeneration, permanent light, feather fall) and made them more
common. (Jonathan Ellis)

- Rods of Recall, Perception, Curing, Healing, Restoration, and Speed

will not be destroyed by electricity.
- Made Raal s Tome of Destruction more, and Kelek s Grimoire of Power
less common. (Timo Pietil)
- Removed fire brand from ammo of Holy Might . (Timo Pietil)
- Give the short range teleport effect from gravity attacks on monsters
an additional 1 in 3 chance to teleport the monster away. This should
make abusing the Rift spell a bit harder.
- Added a level dependent chance to resist the teleportation effect of
gravity attacks for monsters and the player. (suggested by Jonathan
Ellis)
- Junk items like broken sticks, empty bottles, and rodent skeletons are
no longer generated in the dungeon.
- Added support for artifact and ego-item descriptions. (with help from
Hallvard B Furuseth)
- Added artifact descriptions. The texts are mainly taken from OAngband
and other variants. (Jonathan Ellis)
- Added object descriptions assembled by Hallvard B Furuseth. The
descriptions are mostly copied from obj-long.spo version 3.0.2 by Hugo
Kornelis, Stephen S. Lee, Leonard Dickens and Craig Lewis.
- Added ego item descriptions for some ego types. (Hallvard B Furuseth)
- "Easy open" ignores broken doors now when trying to close doors.
- Added new 8x8 tiles and tile definitions provided by "Dawnmist".
- Removed several broken tile definitions for the 32x32 tiles.
- Allow direct melee attacks on visible monsters in walls. You still
have to tunnel into the wall if you are trying to attack an invisible
monster. (suggested by Greg Stark)
- Show infos like "It cannot be harmed by the elements." when
Inspecting books, just as for other item types.
- Changed the behavior of the auto_more option, so that it
automatically skips -more- prompts instead of not displaying
messages on the top line. (Tom Houser)
- Changed the "Do you really want to quit?" prompt to "Do you really
want to commit suicide?".
- Added a show scores command to the knowledge menu.
- Changed the wording for the scores display a bit.
- Added the kill count of non-unique monsters to the knowledge menu.
- Added a modified version of Mogami s macro trigger patch. This patch
modifies how macro trigger keys are displayed on screen and written in
.prf files. The trigger keys are no longer displayed in ugly key code
style, such like ^__FFBE\r or ^_O_FF53\r, but in more smart style,
such like \[F1] or \[alt-Right].
- Select the sex, race, and class choices from a dead character as
defaults for a new character.
- Added a stripped down version of Takeshi Mogami s "auto_dump" feature
from Hengband. Automatic pref file dumps from the game are now
marked, so that they can be replaced when dumping to the same
pref-file again.
- Allow the banishment spell to be aborted at the "Choose a monster race
to banish" prompt without using up a scroll or charge.
- Added John Rauser s monster list patch that allows the user to display
a list of the visible monsters in a window.
- Recharging wands or staves that have been fully *identified* before
will now automatically reveal the new number of charges in the device.
This fixes a bug where an already *ID ed* wand or staff couldn t be
*ID ed* again after recharging (but plain ID works), despite the
number of charges being unknown. (bug reported by Eddie Grove)
- text_to_ascii() didn t check that the characters used in \xAB
sequences represent real hex characters. Invalid hex sequences are
now converted to the ? character. (reported by Kieron Dunbar)

- Improved the handling of incomplete \x sequences in macros. The old

code could skip the final NUL-byte of the string if it ended with
\x , leading to a potential buffer overflow.
- Fixed a typo in the description of the "wild cat". (Jay McAbee)
- Rods and staves of probing are no longer automatically identified when
used without a monster nearby. (reported by "someog")
- Prevent the player from being hit multiple times by area effect spells
and breaths that can blink the player (nexus, gravity).
- The player can now get a level feeling when entering level 1 without
spending 1000 game turns in town first. (Tom Houser)
- Branding ammo or weapons will now automatically try to combine and
reorder the resulting objects, even if the enchantment of to-hit and
to-dam fails. (reported by John D. Goulden)
- Try to output minor warning messages (such as "illegal option choice"
when selecting a non existing item for a command) as soon as possible.
(reported by "Mogami")
- Show all minor error messages immediately in the message window.
- The effects of light spells are only obvious if you aren t blind.
- Wands and rods of light don t give a message and aren t automatically
identified when using them while blind. (reported by Steve Kroon)
- Refilling a latern from a stack of laterns will now only use the oil
from one latern, not from the whole stack. (reported by Jay McAbee)
- Prevent earthquake/destruction spells from working in town. This
prevents inappropriate messages (like "The cave ceiling collapses!").
- Automatically try to load the "Kobold.prf" file at startup if the
player is a Kobold.
- Improved the output of item and monster descriptions in spoilers and
character dumps. In some cases punctuation and spaces were wrapped to
the next line.
- The basic object spoilers only reported the prices for unidentified
items. (reported by Hugo Kornelis)
- The cursor keys in the X11 ports behave the same way now, no matter if
num-lock is on or off.
- Change colors in main-gcu.c. This is Dominik Grzelak s patch to change
bright white from blue back to bright white. (Ed Cogburn)
- Added a workaround for a bug in the curses version with USE_GETCH.
The news.txt screen was erased by the first call to the getch()
function. (Frank Palazzolo)
- Angband consumed 100% of the cpu while waiting for a keypress in the
GTK port. (Sheldon Simms)
- Allow text to be copied from the game window in the X11 port.
(modified version of the code in Kieron Dunbar s sCthangband 1.0.10)
- Added transparency support to the 32x32 tiles in the Windows port.
This requires a modified tiles bitmap and a new transparency mask
originally created by Andrew Doull:
ftp://clockwork.dementia.org/angband/Extra/graf-32x32-304.zip
- Removed the hackish Show scores menu entry from the Windows version.
Use the new knowledge menu entry instead.
- Applied lots of Mac specific patches by "pelpel".
- Allow initialization of the game to continue, even if the
lib/data/*.raw files can t be written. In that case the data parsed
from the lib/edit/*.txt files stays in memory and is used instead of
the *.raw data. This currently wastes some memory, since the text
arrays are not resized to the minimum required length.
- Added a performance tweak for the Angband Borg.
- Increased the data-type of the shopkeeper purse limit from signed
16 bit to signed 32 bit. This will allow shopkeepers with a higher
limit than 32768 gold to be added.
- Added a compile time option to store the savefiles and scores in the
player s home directory (under ~/.angband/Angband/) on multi-user

machines.
- Use a different delay function in the DOS version that works around
the restricted 55ms resolution on Windows 2000 and XP.

Version 0.3.1
New features:
Notices of failed quests are written to the notes file.
Potions of life and *healing* can occasionally be good items if the
object level is greater than 80.
Made objects in inventory slightly harder to destroy, to compensate
for all the extra chances they have to get
destroyed with the 4gai changes.
Changed the probability of monster description displaying spell frequency.

Failing to steal too much only makes newly generated monsters slightly hasted (s

wary.

character would get with that weapon.

Version 0.3.0
New features:
Added Demoband/Sangband 4gai, which includes (as done by Leon Marrick):
- The "basic code": 4GAI monster ranges, spellcasting, learning,
mana and spellpower, movement, flow, processing, terrain-handling.
- The "associated code": Oangband-style noise, monster spells, multi-hued
monsters, fewer wimpy monsters, monster polymorphing, compacting, etc.
- EyAngband-style monster lifepoint ratings (by Eytan Zwieg)
- Sangband-style monster melee attack code and town monsters,
various Sangband updates to the above,
- Some changes to randomizing functions to accomodate the above, more correct ro
unding
- New and more varied monster attack messages, some from Moria and early Angband
- smaller monster groups and escorts, careful control of nests, pits, and simila
r
- new limits on summoning level, much fewer monsters summoned
- new limits on OoD monsters, whether randomly generated, summoned, or placed in
vaults.
- arc spells and breaths for the monsters.
- Sangband project functions (this means no more hockey-stick corridors)
- Sangband update_view and line-of-sight functions
- many new types of monster resistances
- Evasive Monsters (Sangband, EYAngband)
- monsters surrounded by clouds (UnAngband, Sangband)
- True "Mimics" (Zangband, Sangband)
Note: The breath spells still do Angband-type damage, based on hitpoints rather
than spell power.
And have about the same maximums as Angband. I made some minor changes to some
breaths, such as
gravity, inertia, and time. Example: depending on whether the creature breathe
s powerfully or
not, gravity breath has different maximum HP damage, and the breath damage-per-h
p is also different.
This allows gravity wyrms to do some real damage while slightly reducing the dan
ger from gravity hounds.
Instead of reducing HP and armor class as Sangband/Oangband do, the monsters hav
e a smaller
amount of max_mana, and spell power is adjusted so the damage is similar to that
by Angband
Monsters. They do more damage in some spells than Angband, but I made the sourc
es of healing
a little more common and just a little more powerful to compensate.
Other minor new features:
Player given chance to add last words to notes file upon dying.
Made most sources healing a little more powerful and common.
Made scrolls of mass banishment and banishment more common.
Limited the types of creatures available for quests (no insects, flies, rodents,
etc...)

nctions.
Got rid of the monster.pkg and associated monster-lua files.

Changed name of staffs and rods of enlightenment to magic mapping.
Added several new potions and potion flavors.
Added separate commands for stealing (P) and setting traps (O)
aborting the alter trap command no longer takes a turn
slightly revised character screen
removed unused monster options
Made monster spell frequency based on straight percentages rather than the one_i
n_X scheme
Removed option to occasionally go down another flight of stairs
Added shafts in addition to stairs, which take the player up or down 2 levels.
Made some of the more valuable rods immune to destruction by electricity.
When re-charging, a single rod can no longer be destroyed.
In the knowledge screen, player can now view notes file
and home inventory (code provided by Jean-Pierre Hamel)
Made it slightly more likely to sleep, confuse, and slow monsters.
Some potions have affect the monster when thrown (ex. potion of confusion confus
es monster)
Two prayer changes in beginners handbook:
1) Combined find traps and detect doors/stairs into one spell.
2) Added a weak, low-level attack spell, bolt of draining.

Bugfix: Player can now access the help files from the birth menu.
Bugfix: Darkness was causing player to forget stairs.
Bugfix: Quest descriptions now say "destroy" instead of "kill" for undead and
other non-living monsters.

Version 0.2.2
New features:

Added an option to retain squelch settings on new character.

Made it an option for a to-be-squelched item to appear as a purple dot.
Made the chests lighter

Changed the messages that describe the special quests.
Updated all makefiles to include the proper files.
Bugfix: ability to modify traps based on rogue_combat flag, should have
been set_traps flag.
Bugfix: The option smart_packs was not showing up in the character dump option.

up the quest generation code.
Bugfix: Fixed the quest reward code, which had numerous bugs.
Bugfix: Updated tiles to reflect the monsters and items I added.

SCthAngband.
Added some uber-flags (ex...im_elem, no_charm, drop_up_to_14 items)

The stun counter stops increasing when a player is knocked out, so players
have a much better chance of avoiding the "knocked out" instadeath.

have more great items than smaller chests.
Smaller chests are now more common.

Version 0.1.0
*
Added support for describing monsters speed at +5 (somewhat quickly), +1
5
(exceedingly quickly), and +25 (extremely quickly).
*
Added patch to change player s color as their hit-points drop. This is a
n
option
found under "display options".
*
Increased chance of increased damage dice and to hit dice on weapons, an
d
increased changes in increased damage dice on ammunition.
*
Decreased level boost from dragon scale mail to +10.
*
Reduced level boost from powerful amulets to +10.

*
Amulets & spell books are generated as a guaranteed "good" only if out o
f
depth.
*
Added option to go up or down additional flight of stairs some of the ti
me
(from
Oangband).
*
Added "themed chests", similar to Oangband. There are 16 themes, and may
frequently contain guaranteed good or great objects.
*
Chests now increase level rating by +5.
*
Added different templates for "great items" rather than good items. Ther
e
are
several things in the good list aren t in the great list (such as spellbooks).
*
Changed the object generation code so that the "great" flag no longer
needs the
"good" flag to produce a great item. The "great" flag without the "good" flag
will
produce a great item, but it only gets one chance instead of four to become an
artifact. This was done as a way to keep the new style chests from becoming too
powerful.
*
Added Dr. Whites Monster Lite patch.
*
Added Eytan Zwieg s vault flipping patch.
*
Added a note taking patch, this is a birth option (birth_take_notes), an
d
needs to be
specified before the character is started. I did a significant re-write of this
patch.
Comments can be written to a file, and they will automatically print out in a
character dump. In addition, it automatically records the turn, level of char,
and
dungeon level of certain events, such as: the killing of uniques, finding of
artifacts,
and greater vaults created, when a player is killed or wins the game, and every
time
the character gains a new level, but only if it is divisible by 5 (level 5, 10,
15, 20,
etc...). These notes automatically print out with the character dump. The
formatting
on this feature isn t perfect yet, but I plan on finishing it after I
incorporate
EYAngband s resistance system.
*
Added rod-wand-stacking based on Oangband 0.6.0.
*
Reduced delay when using the autoroller to create a character. Should be
10 times
faster.
*
Added DarkGod s html screen dump patch.
*
Dropped Items may now be specified by theme. Code is mostly in place to
create
themed monster drops. Currently, the themed drops are used in chest opening &
vault creation (chests w/ monster 40 levels OOD).
*
Added the autosquelch patch. I made some minor changes to the sub-qualit
y
squelching menu. For rings and amulets, there are only three levels (none,
cursed,
and all but artifact). I also added in the option to automatically squelch
chests after

they are opened.

*
I deliberately made almost no changes to the edit files, so the first
version will give
almost the the exact same playability as Angband v 3.0.3. with some nice options
that Angband, IMHO, should contain, such as rod/wand stacking, screen dumps
and autosquelch. The only changes in the edit files are:
* Added rods re-charge time to the PVAL flag (without this updated file, the
game WILL crash almost instantly due to divide by zero errors)
* Increased the rarity of chests, to compensate for them being loaded with
so many good & great items
* Added the has_lite flag to the appropriate creatures, so the Lite Patch will
work
* Removed the good flag from many of the creatures who have the great
flag, to balance out all the great items that are now in the chests. Mostly only
those who got the great flag added in the JLE-patch.
* Modified some of the greater vaults so they include chests in certain areas.
* Five new types of monster vaults and pits. The ogre pits are a little bland
right now. I plan on adding more types of Ogres, but I am deliberately
holding that until the next version of NPP Angband so this one keeps as
close as possible to 100% Angband 3.0.3 playability.
* Six new types of monster vaults and pits. The ogre pits are a little bland
right
now. I plan on adding more types of Ogres, but I am deliberately holding that
until
the next version of NPP Angband so this one keeps as close as possible to 100%
Angband 3.0.3 playability.
* There is a minimum depth enforcer when selecting the type of Monster Pit or
Next, so the weaker ones, such as Jelly Pits, don t appear at higher depths.
