I received some great savefiles showing some errors and had a chance to work on them.\u00a0 Here is the result:<\/p>\n
\n- Added a few more ego item types to the list of items that should be *ID*’d, since some items can have extra powers and resists.\u00a0 The ones added were slay and kill dragon, might, power, & lordliness.<\/li>\n
- The defense maneuver of detect_invis() was missing the sorcery spell of Sense Minds in the defense activation.<\/li>\n
- Aesthetic fix to the layout of the ^zd Spell Dump output.<\/li>\n
- Improvement to how the borg was calculating the benefits of using Teleport Other on large groups of monsters which can create a lot of danger.<\/li>\n
- There was a ‘drop off potions’ loop.\u00a0 The borg was heading to town but not dropping off the potions in the house.<\/li>\n
- Borg was over confident in his ability to tunnel.\u00a0 There is a definition of BORG_DIG which is his digging skill.\u00a0 I was moved from 20 to 40 to make sure the borg didn’t waste too much time trying to dig improbable tunnels.\u00a0 Granite has a dig factor of skill_dig > 40 +rnd(1600).\u00a0 So even with a BORG_DIG of 40, and no digger, he is still likely to dig.\u00a0 This value might be adjusted higher (to 60)<\/li>\n
- The borg found a really nice artifact broken dagger.\u00a0 The\u00a0 bonuses of the randart attributes out-weighed the penalty of wielding one.\u00a0 So i boosted the penalties for melee type characters.\u00a0 The non-melee characters can still wield these items with the old penalty.<\/li>\n
- Borg_flow_vault() was missing a borg_flow_clear() object.\u00a0 This lack caused the borg to think that he could dig tunnels all day long.<\/li>\n
- Borg was incorrectly parsing the staff charges of “3 Staffs of Foo (3x 4 charges).”\u00a0 He thought he only had 4 charges instead of 12.<\/li>\n
- The borg was over-rewarding the value of certain activations.\u00a0 The error was related to the scanning of equipment in borg_power_aux3() and looping a reward.<\/li>\n
- The borg was ignoring ‘The Greater hell magic mushroom were-quylthulg’ when should only be ignoring\u00a0‘The greater hell-beast.’<\/li>\n
- Added support for GF_STUN and GF_TURN_EVIL in borg_launch_damage_one().\u00a0 I made sure the GF_STUN is not considered valuable if the monster is compromised from some other effect (confused, afraid).<\/li>\n
- Amberites were having trouble with mutation activations.\u00a0 The borg had the wrong address for his mutations (b instead of c).<\/li>\n
- Added better support for Amberite racial activations including a borg_recover() check for hallucination.<\/li>\n
- The borg needed to weigh the benefits of casting Brand Weapon.\u00a0 Some are very expensive in terms of mana.\u00a0 The no_melee guys won’t bother with casting it.\u00a0 He also needed to make sure he didn’t cast\/rest loop.<\/li>\n
- Some improvements and clean-ups to how the borg works with dispel spells with varying AoE radius.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
