LogicNinja posted:Yeah, this is about how the tournament is gonna go: if you'd moved down and left, you'd have been out of the cyclops's LOS. from there, you could have almost certainly made it to the stairs & away scot free, especially since cyclopes are slow. i have to say, though: excellent lang choice

LogicNinja posted:Actually, wait, what, cyclopes are slow? How slow? Since when? I always thought they moved normal speed. they're speed 7 and afaik always have been. certainly for the last 15 years or so. looks like their damage caps out at 55, so you definitely got the high end there. it 'only' had a 1/4 chance of one-shotting you... (closer to 1/5 counting ac) Roctavian posted:The old Dispater and Asmodeus tiles were just color swaps, and I made smaller versions of the hell lords that were only in the game for a hot second (before someone told me to make the big ones): it's DEFINITELY an anime power aura.

Pinechild posted:fake edit: oh wow that dropped my stealth by a bunch. Is that an artifact of switching to plate, or does ponderous also make you noisy? It's the plate. Armour EVP reduces stealth, spellcasting chance, accuracy (slightly), and, of course, EV. Wearing plate at 14 str is kind of iffy; rule of thumb is that you want about as much str as EV, and you're 4 short. It's also kind of a waste of that 18 dex. The AC is nothing to sneeze at, though, and you weren't casting spells anyway. What were your defenses in your previous armour?

Unimpressed posted:Hey PF, is there a devs team in the tournament? Would be interesting to see how you guys stack up. There usually is, though I don't think we've settled on a name yet for this one. The really good devs (e.g. elliptic) always play in their own clans, anyway... RPATDO_LAMD posted:If they're not visible that seems kind of dumb and spoilery, since they're fixed-location traps in predefined vaults. I guess it works for the "pressure plate that puts a grate between you and the stairs" thing just because that vault is so small and you'll never know when you run into it. Feel free to report any problematic vaults!

Of the chars that PleasingFungus played that made it to XL10, he splatted 4 in a row before eking out a win. After killing a Halfling that made it to XL17 (his second death in a row of an XL16+ character), he came to the dev channel to try to start a discussion about removing Halflings. These are all facts. user BANNED for IMPORTING OFFSITE DRAMA. also for shameless slander, which - even worse - happens, in this case, to be factual

jerkstoresup posted:To add to this, what does Crawl need more people to work on, if anything? I'm not the best player, but I love this game and have some coding/graphics abilities and spare time. We're always short on tiles contributors. Think of some tiles you don't particularly like, or go through the tiles directories and find some that you'd like to redraw, and then stick up your versions in a mantis issue; here's roctavian's old tile dump, for example. There's tons of low-hanging fruit, plenty of tiles that haven't been redrawn since the first tiles release, even! For code, I've gotten different answers from every dev I polled on this. You could go looking for bugs (again, on mantis), submit a pull request for some change that you yourself want to see, create a custom race just for the heck of it... (they tend to be pretty fun to set up.) Follow your heart, imo.

FnF posted:Does anyone know how potions of experience interact with penance (from abandoning your god)? Because penance now seems to tick down as you gain XP, the learndb makes it sound pretty much like you could clear penance almost immediately by quaffing 2-3 potions of experience (maybe you'd need more once you hit level 27?). I experimented & added a few print statements, and it looks like they don't interact with penance at all.

a shameful boehner posted:PleasingFungus, I've been struggling to get the downloaded version of tiles running on my machine which has a high DPI display - when I load the game it appears to be normal through character creation, except once the game loads the interface is shifted down and to the right. My inventory is cut off, I can't see the bottom of the text log, etc. I think setting it to load in windowed mode might work, but I'm not sure how to do that either. I've edited .ini and other Crawl files before, I am just not sure which file to create/edit to fix the display issue. I might be missing a "center interface" option or something. try adjusting tile_window_height/tile_window_width? also, file a bug, imo...
