Improvements the Borg and screensaver for the Vanilla branch of Angband.

Yep, the Vborg has some updates.  I thought I would work on it since it has been so long.  I did not make any progress on the 340 or 330 borgs so I worked on the 320 borg.  There is … Continue reading

Twitchy fix.

Sometimes, the borg could get stuck in a corner, surrounded by monsters and unable to fight due to fear.  He enters a Twitchy mode that allows him to make random movements.  But Twitchy forbade the 5-keypress, which was effectively resting … Continue reading

Dispel Spell Improvement

The borg was undervaluing the benefit of dispel effects.  He was omitting some monsters from the total effect.  Now that it is fixed, Dispel Evil looks much better to the borg. The borg got stuck trying to crush an artifact … Continue reading

Deep game fixes and a winner.

Panel Shift improved.

I improved how the borg is going to shift the panel to locate off-screen monsters.  Before he did it based on his exact grid location.  This posed a problem if the screen size was altered from the default size.  Now, … Continue reading

New anti-summon action.

I had to add a fix for the use of borg_shield and borg_stone.  There was some overwriting  of the borg_shield and the borg was not catching the message about the shield being enhanced. The borg needed to be able to … Continue reading

Beam pathway improvement.

There was a problem with the borg always forcing the grid under ghosts to be wall grids.  This was a problem when the borg had to calculate danger from monsters behind it.  Now the borg will not override the previous … Continue reading
