Unangband 0.6.2 beta released

This release was prompted by Mikolaj Konarski reminding me we should probably do a beta release at some point, and pointing out that I hadn't added any broken features or crazy ideas in a little while. Mikolaj also reported the majority of bugs in this release, as well as fixing most of them.

The source code is available at http://prdownload.berlios.de/unangband/unangband-062-beta-src.zip

[Edit] A precompiled Windows binary is available at http://prdownload.berlios.de/unangband/unangband-062-beta-win.zip

A precompiled OS/X binary is available at http://prdownload.berlios.de/unangband/Unangband-0.6.2-beta-osx.dmg

[Edit] A precompiled Linux binary is available at http://prdownload.berlios.de/unangband/unangband_linux_062-beta.tar.gz

Changes follow:

### Game Play ###

* Made most deep dungeons shallower now that you cannot WOR to bottom; cannot make Angband shallower, I guess, or no-campaign mode will break

* You can never be permanently stat drained now.

* Made the number of quest rewards slightly random

- You can also no longer try to cast with insufficient mana if you are at 3 CON.

- You can now inscribe anything edible with =<> max_hp/2 player cannot be instakilled by traps

* The new rods where as heavy as staffs; fixed

* another pseudo-id hack, so that broken items do not get {magical} when worn

* Fixed inability to fill empty flasks (bottles were OK)

* Changed the maximal attained depth per dungeon field to be absolute rather than counted from the surface; lots of code is simplified now

* Saving replacement guardians now, to avoid false dungeon knowledge about recycled guardians

* Fixed WOR that didn't take into account different depths in different dungeons

* Fixed description of *Enchant** items

- Fix for Bug #12794 Wrongly guessed Resist Confusion.

* Changed depth display with ^T and in dump to absolute, as everywhere

* Fixed some warnings by mingw; one of them was a bug making GIANT monsters hard to melee only rarely

* Probably fixed the bad interaction between easy_corpses and easy_floor

* Added auto-correction of too low saved player dungeon depth

* Fixed #12742 (shopekeepers sense curses on all sensed items)

  1. Hmm, the changes list looks quite compressed here...

  2. The sources compile OK on my Debian/Linux. I can put together a primitive Linux binary archive, as with wip7e (71 downloads!), if you like.

  3. Sounds great. I'm not sure what happened to the change list - I had problems getting it into Blogger for some reason. Will try an update.

  4. Just wondering if you have plans for a Win release shortly as well?

    Purdy please. I do not have a compiler installed ATM so I can not get the source compiled on my own yet. :(

    O.

  5. Linux binary bundle uploaded. Now only the Windows port remains, but I see you've already prepared the archive...

  6. Great, all ports seem in sync. Now, what about this page below? It seems to be stuck at wip7c...

  8. You need rights to update it. I only have the logon details on my Mac - which is at home and I'm on the road until Saturday. Also drunk and starting work at 7 am every day...

    Usually I update there, plus drop an email to the forums, rgra, rgr-announce, Rogue Basin + Fresh Meat...

  9. What does inscribing food with =<> do? Autoeat when hungry?

  10. Nope, the changes list is garbled. This particular sentence should read:

    - You can now inscribe anything edible with =< to eat one of them when you travel.
    Normal food will automatically be eaten, but you can inscribe it with !< to not do so.
