[GUM] Gumband 2.2.1a Uploaded to Clockwork...
Joseph William Dixon
a couple of days ago, but I made a change this morning that I want to share
with the world... :) Besides, it's been more than 2 months since the last
update. :)
There's not too much new in this version, though there'd be more if I had
updated the source zip more frequently (to keep it short, I did a "del *>o"
when I meant "del *.o" in the source directory, leaving a dir empty but for
a 0-length file named '.o'. :(
The change I wanted to share was the addition of the Antiques Store -
otherwise known as a randart shop. :) I'm rather proud of the darned thing
as I got it working properly on only the second attempt. :)
=============================================
= Gumband 2.2.1a = Last Update: 22-Jul-2002 =
=============================================
01) Added Elemental pits. [thanks to Antimatter for the idea, and to Kieron
Dunbar for the help with the implementation]
02) Added Ethereal Dragon pits (Dark/Light breathers).
03) The dice for melee damage the Sword Rulers deal have been changed to
d3's across the board. Total damage is unchanged. (original dice were d15's
for Mabelrode, d14's for Xiombarg, and d13's for Arioch)
04) NEW OPTION: "heavy_pseudo". Pseudo-ID type is no longer based on class.
Instead, if this option is TRUE (the default), your character will have
'heavy' pseudo-ID and will therefore sense {average}, {special}, etc.... If
off, you will only sense {good} and {cursed}.
05) Changed the small_levels option. Now, if on, *all* non-town levels will
be 3x3 panels ([0,0] to [2,2] when <L>ooking around) instead of having only
the occasional level be of random, smaller dimensions.
06) Increased the damage (more than doubled) from Arcane magic's "Ball
Lightning" and "Poison Gas" spells.
07) High-Magi who choose Sorcery as their realm now get a Wand of Magic
Missiles as part of their normal, non-Quick-Start equipment.
08) NEW STORE: Added the Antiques Store, which only stocks random artifacts
and which only buys artifacts (random or standard). It is represented in the
town by a violet '0'. It buys at normal price, but sells at x2 the normal
price. All of its owners have a 30000au purse.
