Your gender is changed to male if it wasn’t, but all characters in game assume you’re female 15:05 LOL 15:05 <[Demo]> hmm what did i hit here? 15:05 guess :D hint: press : while on that tile 15:05 <[Demo]> whats it do? 15:06 many random things, but in this case you got hit by a particularly nasty effect that curses a bunch of stuff in your inventory 15:06 <[Demo]> well that sucks 15:06 how can you even play without menucolors, I'm wondering? 15:06 [hdf-us] [slex] Demo (Mon Tro Mal Law) killed Mister Who, on T:10298 15:07 <[Demo]> its slex 15:07 <[Demo]> how can you even play to begin with? 15:07 well if you can't, does that mean me seeing you play is only an illusion? 15:08 oh, I guess I'm dreaming, and I'll wake up any moment now ;) 15:08 * LarienTelrunya wants an amulet of restful sleep to ensure the beautiful dream doesn't end 15:09 <[Demo]> this town sucks 15:09 hopefully you have a key 15:09 <[Demo]> every store is closef! 15:09 yeah, that's "locktown", one of the different versions of this level 15:09 <[Demo]> oh neat 15:10 if you can unlock the stores, you can then shop as normal 15:11 shit, the curse got your bag of holding! 15:12 <[Demo]> yeah 15:13 one way to get at the items is to put a wand of cancellation or bag of tricks inside, which will destroy the bag of holding (obviously) and, since this is slex, scatter the contents over the floor; however, potions and items made of glass will break in the process 15:14 <[Demo]> another way is a damn potion of holy water 15:14 <[Demo]> also if i had cancellation could i not just cancel it? 15:14 yes, put the bag on the ground and zap it 15:14 that will remove the curse without affecting the contents 15:14 yet another way is to wield the bag and read remove curse 15:16 btw [Demo], as a troll you're immune to sickness, so you can melee things with sickness attacks and eat tainted corpses :) 15:16 <[Demo]> oh neat 15:16 it'd be interesting if zapping cancellation at a floor BOH converted it to a sack. But on the other hand that's a terrible idea since it's literally the only way to remove its curse if you can't lift it. 15:22 <[Demo]> what does styx river do? 15:22 it contaminates you if you move over it 15:23 the effect is reduced while flying though 15:23 LarienTelrunya, [Demo]: it used to be longer, with some generic fill levels. later I removed them and made the river level. also to explain why nobody from town would descend into the dungeon. 15:24 oh, *that* river level, the one I turned into a bigroom in slex :D 15:24 did you take my mandelbrot bigroom as well? 15:24 of course, I love that one! ♥ 15:25 <3 15:25 [hdf-us] [slex] Demo (Mon Tro Mal Law) killed Elif, on T:12072 15:27 aww, poor Elif 15:27 <@riker> @le?elif 15:27 Elif (r) | Lvl: 1 | Diff: 9 | Spd: 18 | Res: disintegrate poison petrification | Confers: poison | MR: 20 | Generates: unique | AC: 7 | Attacks: 1d4 weapon physical, 1d5 kick disarm, 1d2 breath drain str | Alignment: 15 | Flags: omnivore, breathless, nopoly, stalker 15:27 <@riker> let me guess: it's a shoe? :p 15:27 no, but she loves using her shoes to kick the player's hands bloodily :D 15:27 <[Demo]> its the word file backwars 15:28 <[Demo]> there are so many strange branches 15:28 yeah, and they're almost all optional and only one level long 15:29 <[Demo]> cant figure out what the hell this branch is supposed to be 15:29 it would normally be the stronghold, but slex special levels have a chance of being replaced with different random ones; I think this is actually a bigroom? 15:30 <[Demo]> what even 15:30 if you don't feel like clearing it, you don't have to :) 15:31 <[Demo]> how contaminated does a contamination trap get me? 15:31 <[Demo]> and can unihorns restore stat loss? 15:32 as long as it didn't display an extra message like "You're now suffering from slight contamination", you got less than 100 points of contamination 15:32 unihorns can restore stat loss, but it doesn't always work and can result in losing stat points forever; wisdom lost due to contamination is always lost permanently 15:32 weird how you only have 5 wisdom as a monk 15:32 <[Demo]> oh 15:33 <@riker> weeping angel? :p 15:33 riker: yes, except in slex it's flavored as a generic contamination and has many more sources 15:35 <[Demo]> do wooden tables do anything? 15:35 yes: while standing on one, you have +5 to-hit, and you can pick things up from wooden tables even while levitating 15:36 <[Demo]> what about the straw beds in sleeping rooms? 15:36 straw mattresses are a hazard; standing on one can randomly make you fall asleep, and sleep resistance reduces the chance but doesn't eliminate it 15:36 oh, you found one of the alignment quest portals! 15:36 <@riker> wagons are good too 15:36 <[Demo]> that low? 15:36 yeah, the portals can be from 15-39 15:36 <[Demo]> would think slex would push them further 15:36 <[Demo]> what do wagons do? 15:37 it's random :) 15:37 standing on a wagon improves your AC and hides you, so monsters have a harder time finding you 15:37 <[Demo]> ah yeah right i was using one 15:37 <@riker> burning wagons are kinda teh same but you also take fire damage iirc 15:37 <[Demo]> law quest 15:37 <[Demo]> neato 15:37 yeah, and you got the vanilla slashem version 15:38 <[Demo]> oh theres a hell slex version?

15:41 <[Demo]> wonder if this quest is worth doing 15:42 [Demo]: in the current slex version, you can very easily cheese the game by knowing one of the sphere spells and spamming that to wake Vlad, so you don't really need to do the alignment quests 15:42 might be worth it to get to the guaranteed coaligned altar though 15:42 and no matter what you do, *do not* chat with the priest 15:43 <[Demo]> oh damn bearkiller bolts seem nice 15:43 yes, and the +50 damage is not a typo 15:43 LarienTelrunya: no, you have a comment there that you had a dream about it 15:43 ah, yeah I did :) 15:44 sweet slexy dreams of YANIness ♥ 15:44 bhaak: I like the mandelbrot bigroom 15:44 <[Demo]> man a lot of artifacts 15:45 and lots of thrown potions of confusion, it seems! 15:45 <[Demo]> yeah 15:45 <[Demo]> damn shame kingslayer doesnt give the warning like it does in dnh 15:46 whaaaaaaaaaat why did the game make an active superscroller trap 15:46 <[Demo]> it must hate me 15:46 -!- firemonkey has joined #hardfought 15:47 [Demo]: hint: you can eat the dragon corpses when they're tainted, and they'll give intrinsics if you get lucky! 15:48 <[Demo]> can i tin them? 15:48 the black one in particular :D 15:48 well, that tinning kit is probably empty, but if you have one with charges then yes 15:49 yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay :D:D:D 15:49 <[Demo]> can i just eat them all? 15:49 <@riker> yes 15:49 <[Demo]> why are they so low nutrition? 15:49 sure, although I think gray and deep don't convey anything 15:49 <@riker> but you will likely choke 15:49 they're tainted and thus give 0 nutrition 15:50 <@riker> ah cool 15:51 wtf the troll is attacking the priest??? 15:51 <[Demo]> yeah he's a real badass 15:51 <@riker> u got dis timid troll 15:52 <@riker> who is likely lvled up now 15:52 <@riker> kill da priest 15:53 <[Demo]> lost him 15:53 <[Demo]> he just kinda went away 15:53 you can also use #sit on the portal to trigger it again 15:54 maybe the troll killed the priest while he was in one of the other rooms 15:54 K2: do you have any interest in documenting spork changes better than they are on the wiki (like half the links on its page are red, and it doesn't go into enough detail)? You seem to be one of the most active players. I'd do it but don't really know it very well. 15:54 aww, Force Field is a fake :( 15:55 (of course, lorimer might be the better person to do it, but I doubt he has time :) 16:01 [hdf-us] [slex] Demo (Mon Tro Mal Law) killed Nightmare, on T:13730 16:02 woohoo!

Anyway. K2: I am pretty sure I meant to build out the concept of "bamboo splint mail", and leather was the cheapest way to turn it non-metal 17:07 ie. least dev effort. I don't think I ever followed through and built out the additional material code to support it though 17:09 ooh so you can use it to cast in :D 17:09 more AC than leather armor, allthough I think also more heavy 17:09 lorimer: anyway... wood? 17:12 FIQ: EPI: the Wizard of Yendor always or commonly generates with a +7 helm of brilliance. 17:12 aosdict: I don't think it would make much of a difference 17:12 Also it would mean nice polyfodder 17:12 it's more a nice patch idea 17:13 perhaps I was overvaluing fiqhack's monster spellcasting formula 17:13 http://home.fiq.se/wiz_spells.png 17:14 aosdict: It is just the vanilla formula 17:14 and by the time you're facing the Wizard enough to take his helm from him, aren't you basically done with polypiling anyway 17:14 Wizard of Yendor is level 30+, has Expert in all spell schools 17:14 FIQ: I meant the Int and Wis contributions to it 17:14 So seeing him with anything other than 0% would be weird 17:14 aosdict: Ah 17:15 I suppose it has more of an effect on pw regen than anything else, then. 17:15 But it makes flavor sense that the Wizard would find equipment that boosts his own mental capacities. 17:17 <@riker> !tell Chris_ANG "you christen it" msg always appears even if you have multiple, should pluraize 17:17 Will do, @riker! 17:22 -!- elenmirie has quit [Quit: Going offline, see ya!

Because there's no challenge _at all_. 19:47 (Granted, I haven't tried Adventure Mode. May at some point.) 19:49 Also, DF made really horrendously bad first impression on me by requiring me to add a gratuitous additional architecture and install otherwise-unneeded versions of a ton of libraries just to run it, because they can't be bothered to release a source tarball so people can compile it in the modern era, and also can't be bothered to compile for the dominant architecture. 19:49 (This was only a couple of years ago, and they had no amd64 builds. At all.) 19:49 (Which I could live with, if there were a source tarball, but there ain't.) 19:51 And when I asked on the forums about why there wasn't an amd64 build, since amd64 had displaced i386 as the predominant architecture about ten years previously, I was basically told "ROFL Linux suxxorz use Windoze". 19:52 (Static linking is _another_ way they could've avoided this problem. But no.) 19:53 With that said, Glazedcoast is some of the most entertaining stuff I've ever read. 19:53 So there's that. 20:00 -!- Menche__ has quit [*.net *.split] 20:00 * aosdict resists the urge to !tell that to jonadab 20:01 [hdf-us] [sp] Luxidream (Kni Orc Fem Cha), 13335 points, T:6932, killed by a riding accident 20:01 oof 20:01 what happened 20:06 <@luxidream> went downstairs when burdened 20:07 <@luxidream> forgot it did about a million damage because I never ride 20:07 <@luxidream> whoops 20:11 <@luxidream> wow, so the convict's iron ball does d9 damage to them when wielded and they go downstairs 20:11 <@luxidream> they start with 9 HP 20:11 <@luxidream> seems fair 20:12 nobody's forcing to play convict here... 20:12 best level up before going downstairs then! 20:12 <@luxidream> because you have time to do that with no food 20:12 <@luxidream> 😛 20:12 eat their corpses 20:12 or just pray when weak 20:13 YANI: Increase starting HP for all characters by some constant amount. 8-10 is really not enough. 20:13 tell that to tariru... 20:13 <@luxidream> convicts can't pray for food 20:13 wow 20:13 <@luxidream> statuesurfer have you been hit by a falling rock trap 20:14 not in a while 20:14 <@luxidream> that's why starting characters need more HP 20:14 my pets die to falling rock traps a lot more often then i do 20:14 *than 20:14 generally because they step on it first 20:14 <@luxidream> 215 0:02:40 -1/11 2017-11-05 22:45 killed by a falling rock 20:14 [hdf-us] [sp] mightyquinn (Hea Hum Mal Neu), 115 points, T:343, killed by a sewer rat 20:15 <@luxidream> Luxidream Rog-Orc-Mal-Cha 309 215 0:02:40 -1/11 2017-11-05 22:45 killed by a falling rock 20:15 <@luxidream> maybe we should just ban falling rock traps 20:15 that's a rogue not a convict 20:15 pff 20:15 <@luxidream> and rolling boulder traps 20:15 you can't fool me 20:15 <@luxidream> from DL 1-2 20:16 StatueSurfer: @luxidream you know about ais' recent change to stop this, right? 20:16 in 3.6.1 20:16 no 20:16 <@luxidream> yes, the marked traps? 20:16 <@luxidream> on early dungeon levels? 20:17 StatueSurfer: traps on early dungeon levels generate usually with a corpse and one or more cursed items on the square 20:17 oh those 20:17 i've seen those 20:18 <@luxidream> is it on the 20:18 <@luxidream> HF version 20:18 @luxidream I think pretty much all floor traps are unbalanced, not because they're tuned incorrectly or anything but because their effects are totally flat and don't scale at all 20:18 <@luxidream> of 3.6.1? 20:19 <@luxidream> trapdoors can suck for anyone 20:19 <@luxidream> that's about it, though 20:19 in my door trap patch, most of the damaging effects scale damage based on level for this reason :) 20:20 <@luxidream> how much damage for example? 20:20 "The door explodes! You take 300 damage! You die..." 20:20 <@luxidream> maybe it should be like exploding wands 20:20 <@luxidream> those scale based on your max HP 20:20 @luxidream the flatness hits two ways: one, in that falling rock (or whatever) traps can hit a very high proportion of an early character's maxHP, but a very low proportion of a late character's maxHP 20:21 a helmet also blocks most of a falling rock traps damage 20:21 so falling rock traps, and pits, and dart and arrow traps, generate all over the place in Gehennom but nobody actually cares about them by then 20:22 -!- deadnoob has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds] 20:22 i would say that being largely unavoidable sources of damage they should probably consistently deal a relatively low percentage of max HP 20:22 <@luxidream> Gehennom is already unfun.

I've untrapped a box several times only to have it blow up in my face and die 20:26 @luxidream unsure about what to do there. Probably it should guarantee *finding* the trap in one go, but you might need to make multiple attempts to actually get rid of it. 20:26 On the other hand, I don't want to encourage GruntHack-style "untrap every door before touching it" play, so bleh. 20:26 -!- StatueSurfer has quit [Quit: Page closed] 20:27 <@luxidream> I think that's perfectly reasonable. As it is, there's no point in untrapping 20:27 <@luxidream> none of the traps are deadly on their own anyway 20:28 <@luxidream> the ones that you are suggesting 20:28 <@luxidream> so I don't think that will be a problem 20:28 @luxidream I've also toyed with the idea of making a "door trap" an actual trap, stored in the level's trap field, that just happens to occupy the same space as the door. 20:28 Which would then be discoverable with s. 20:28 <@luxidream> but then if it was a hidden door, would you find the trap before the door? 20:28 (And searching for traps needs an overhaul anyway, as jonadab and ais523 will tell you...) 20:29 Also, where did you get the idea that none of these traps are deadly?
