I mean the answer is clearly "hubris" but what specifically is going to obliterate me? Note: I got all those muts from a pair of mutation potions I found on D1.

edit:I plan on 15 runing and have the Justice pledge, so let's be real it'll be Tomb or Cerebov.

Nice gear so far for sure but you're definitely lacking in the elemental resist department and that will be your death if you're not careful. I would ditch the flying/stealth ring for something with pips toward resistances ASAP especially if you go into branches with different focuses. Hopefully you'll find some art cloaks/boots and a better helmet during your adventures too.

Hey I decided to try getting back into this game, and I've got a problem. For some reason whenever I try to move south or southwest using the numpad, the game just tells me I don't know any spells. I've tried erasing my rc completely, and it did nothing.

Check if there's a macro on those keys. ~ or ctrl-D or *d should get you there.

Dropbear: Jul 26, 2007; Bombs away!

Got a merfolk skald to a pretty promising place - level 27, alright skills, pretty good gear etc. Only have one win (3 rune) before this, so figured I'd go a bit further this time; I've never really seen much of the optional endgame stuff. I've been worshipping Ashenzari so far and it's been very useful, but it seems that tapers off somewhat; I figured I'd switch him to the Shining One.

That might have been a mistake. The -4 skill-thing hurts more than it sounds, and I didn't even realize how much I've relied on scrying until I can't anymore. Oh well, got to deal with it now. All of the easy branches (vaults, elf, crypts, depths, everything under lair) is cleared; I wonder if it's worth wandering around Abyss 1 to get some Shining One favor & get rid of Ashenzari's bad feels? Never really been much into the abyss (lucked into getting the rune by getting banished almost next to it), 1 isn't that deadly for an endgame character, right?

Poll reminder - we have 7 responses so far. Not sure how many we need to be considered a consensus but maybe 20?

Got the daemon working for Fork-based Scoring so you should see your wins and losses at least as quickly as you see them on CAO for trunk. I've splatted about 12 characters across 3 servers and 3 forks and I'm seeing them all flow through. Let me know if you encounter any games you don't see recorded, to be clear you should see your scores from any game you play on any fork on any server.

Plan is to (a) work with Bloodnok on a fix for stoat soup (presently presents as git without extra SQL), (b) add back the old queries from CAO with server name and fork included, and (c) find a way to throw banners up for pledges players have completed.

Looks good, you could probably get 2-3 EV with minimal investment in Dodging, other than that would echo that extended will be difficult if you don' t find some more resists, particularly another decent randart ring. Still a lot of game left before that decision though. Finisher is strong esp with some haste. Zin makes it hard to just straight up die. I'd go for it.

Full dump

Had lots of luck from floorgod this game with armor, I had +10 randart plate that gave MR+ before the scales, and +2 plate of MR+ before that. It's been very feast or famine, though, as the boots probably give away. Where am I going next? Depths to 4? Vault to 4? Abyss? Slime? My gut says maybe Slime, since my resists are still kinda garbage even after just spending $5k summoning a jewelry shop and getting two good randart rings. The screaming from my sword might be able to clear out the royal's trash, but then again, without any option for summons, I'm really gonna be up poo poo creek if it doesn't work out.

Edit: Went for Slime, found acquirement, wished Jewelry.

code:

D - the ring of Sloth (on tentacle) {rF+ MR+++ Int+4 Dex-3}

Yeah, that'll work. :stonklol:

Drain on bat form is probably negotiable. I'm okay with it on flight although I wish it was a forced stop message by default.

So this was an interesting fight...

It's probably easier to see when the door is closed, and it's not like you can approach an open door without seeing where your FOV starts to extend into an open space. Seems like it should be very low-priority, if it's even worth fixing at all.

Gooncrawl server is getting closer to completion. I figured out the player status cgi-bin issue, the scoring daemon is done and going nonstop with updates against forks on multiple servers, and the secure socket issues seem to have worked out. Both http and https have been up for several days without crashing. Spectating in console play has also been fixed as have a number of annoying console issues. The issue where people couldn't edit their rcfile in goondev has been fixed. Our local beem has been up for weeks.

Still need to add more forks, set up ttyrec compression daily, set up eatthepurple.org redirects, resolve the "git" issue with stoat soup, and add server name to the scoring.

If you have a chance and have played a bit online, please check https://eatthepurple.com/scoring/ and see if you find any issues with your games or statistics. I will be adding the CAO queries back but I want to make sure this is not screwing up before I invest the time.

Poll news; it looks like unless we have a last minute wave we'll push reaver changes and then I'll be trying to resolve the conflicts with Yeti and Carcine to get them in. After the weekend will post the response totals - so far people seem to mostly want the staff changes and the auto-IDing of monster-wielded weapons. Throwing Darts and Ghost Vaults are very popular as well. We also had a write in for the new Labyrinths which are definitely cool but looked like quite a bit of work.

Aw, hell, lost my bomb 'Bom in a zig, 20th floor. Even with statue form and actively playing my harp, I just couldn't keep up with the sheer absurd number of Torments and damnation coming at me. In retrospect, I might have survived if I'd read fog in between reading blink and wildly chugging potions. Ah well. It was absolutely a victory lap, character could have gotten through Zot while asleep.

Does rF-- increase the damage taken more than rF-, or does it just mean that the first pip of resistance we get does nothing?

It increases the damage significantly more. IDK the exact amount, but... it's bad.

It makes no difference. According to the Crawl wiki, any level of negative resistance increases your damage from projectiles by 50% and from melee attacks by 100%, regardless of how much of a vulnerability to that element you have. If that hasn't changed since 0.18, then you're pretty much still as good as you were, but yes, the first pip of resistance just counteracts the second pip of vulnerability. You'd need a total of three pips to Rf+ to have any fire resistance at all.

Here's the entirety of the player resist code in Gooncrawl:

code:

    else if (res < 0)
        resistible = resistible * 15 / 10;

If you'd like I can change it to resistible = resistible * (10 + 5 * abs(res)), then rf-- would be 200% damage and rf--- would be 250%.

That sounds like the pledge is being applied, maybe it's a save game issue. Hit # to get a dump, if you have a pledge it will say "You have taken the pledge of the xxxxxxxx." right below your character info and before your abilities.

I don't see anywhere you can see your pledge in-game. Maybe we should give the player a non-functional mutation e.g. MUT_PLEDGE_LOREKEEPER?

In other words, it's currently a flat fifty percent of extra damage taken across the board, instead of 100% specifically only for melee attacks.

Personally, I prefer it as it is. A vulnerability is already harmful enough without making it hurt even worse.

So I have a problem. I get constant hack attempts on the server, mostly brute force attacks, and it's been compromised once.

quote:

An attempt to brute-force account passwords over SSH/FTP by a machine in your domain or in your network has been detected. Attached are the host who attacks and time / date of activity. Please take the necessary action(s) to stop this activity immediately. If you have any questions please reply to this email.

Telnet is disabled, I have a secure key on SSH. I loaded fail2ban the first day it kills attempts but they keep coming back. I just installed denyhosts and changed the root password to something ridiculously long.

I generally work on secured intranets so I don't know how to handle these constant attacks.

Dropbear: Jul 26, 2007; Bombs away!

I heard some dude had won Crawl something like 43 times in a row. How is that even possible, or did he always just run 3-runes with the same builds with easy earlygames? I mean, just today I've had two deaths in floors 1 & 2 where I had no clue what I could have done to prevent it.

First was a floor 1 kobold that came into range & immediately pummeled me to lethal amounts of poison. Drank all my potions, none were curing, dead.
Second was going down the stairs. Sigmund is next to me, follows me back up, dead.

I was a formicid, so -maybe- I could have blinked away from Sigmund if I had that even identified, but still. Seems.. unlikely to not die to a shaft trap or something random in any of 40+ games.

I just looked through the morgue file and it says "you have taken the pledge of the lorekeeper"

I totally didn't

Can you try to repeat this so I can debug it? If you can get it to happen again, please go into detail every step you took to get it to happen.

Server is hyperfucked - from the hosting admin:

quote:

Once a server is compromised, it can't be trusted. There can be so many back doors or trojans that you can't possibly guarantee it's cleaned.

I have backups of milestones and logfiles, your save games and account registrations, all the fork repos, even the ttyrec recordings of games. So those will not be lost. I also have my code changes to fork updates and scoring.

Other than that, I have to restore the initial server image and start over from scratch. Basically the house burned down and I grabbed what I could but it's a depressing amount of work lost.

I still need help securing the system. I work on intranets mainly and this is not a skill I have. I just don't know where that help is going to come from.

Cardiovorax: Jun 5, 2011; I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

I'd help if I could, but other than basic concepts like not allowing more than one login attempt per three seconds or so to discourage brute forcing I really don't have a lot of up-to-date technical skills in that area. That's really the most basic thing you can do, though, and most webservers I know of allow that as a setting. It really slows down all sorts of attacks and rarely inconveniences users in a meaningful way.

I was running fail2ban and denyhosts, they were working and didn't seem to interfere with the webtiles server or web server. I think it will be secure now, basically I just need to uninstall telnet when I'm back up and never install it again. I thought it was disabled but of course Ubuntu has some different voodoo method for that.

I had almost completed a Harvest pledge when I had to take it down, seemed to work fine for both random uniques and other uniques like His Royal Jelliness. My only question is if portals should be included since you aren't really going to another dungeon or branch level and it's not like you can stairs dance with an ice cave portal.

So I have a problem. I get constant hack attempts on the server, mostly brute force attacks, and it's been compromised once.

Telnet is disabled, I have a secure key on SSH. I loaded fail2ban the first day it kills attempts but they keep coming back. I just installed denyhosts and changed the root password to something ridiculously long.

I generally work on secured intranets so I don't know how to handle these constant attacks.

You can't stop people from attempting to authenticate unless you're willing to totally destroy the player experience, doing somelike like having a jumpserver or whitelisted IP addresses that can even attempt to connect. So you shouldn't do that.

There are various ways to catalog what you would consider to be bad actors, and prevent them from trying to log in again. Basically take x number of failed attempts, or even better failed attempts against known bad accounts and blacklist those IP addresses either forever or for a period of time.

If possible, only allow ROOT to be accessed from your IP address, assuming you have a static or a jump server. If you have non-authentication logs, or logs showing what specific URLs or paths these guys are trying to hit I can also tell you what else they're attempting to do and if its something you need to worry about.

Another, possibly more complicated scenario would be restricting ROOT access to certificate authentication. See https://www.ssh.com/ssh/key
