996: Angband \\ Level 28 human warrior vs confusing key combinations!
1Playing the free, open source, roguelike dungeon exploration game Angband under Cygwin in Windows:
Ran into trouble with a few key-combination commands, eventually got them sorted:
- CTRL+H (aka ^h) in Angband's roguelike keyset is "tunnel west"; but I'm playing under Cygwin, and in Cygwin, CTRL+H is a shortcut for Backspace--and it looks like somehow, I'd managed to erase what I think is the default keymap for CTRL+H in Angband, "+4" ("+" is the "alter grid" command, which includes tunneling, and "4" is "west" on the numeric keypad); so the real solution here is keymapping "+4" back onto CTRL+H (in this session I ended up doing the sillier thing of keymapping "+4" onto Backspace, so CTRL+H does Backspace but Backspace does "+4" ; ) : P)
- I found fancy new Bolts of Wounding for my crossbow, but to make them fire with the auto-fire key, I had to set them as the "default" ammo; and to do THAT, you have to inscribe the non-vanilla ammo with "@t0"--for the roguelike keyset--or "@f0"--for the regular keyset
0:00 - start
2:10 - L26 - orcs
22:36 - CTRL+H (tunnel west) problem
38:35 - CTRL+H fixed 'p'
39:55 - abyss worm mass creepiness
48:39 - L27 - vampires
1:10:55 - default ammo problem
1:24:46 - default ammo problem fixed 'p'
Oh man that Potion of Dexterity I can't quite afford in the store. : P Think I'm going to buy a pick and do a bit of fund-raising next time...
The description of the abyss worm mass mentions "It is invisible and rarely detected by telepathy" and "It shrouds its surroundings in darkness." A real recipe for creepiness! = oo Plus, SOMETHING in that same area was draining my XP, I suppose that was probably the worms, too. = ooooo
Found a Rod of Disable Traps, keen. : )
Was able to raise the armor bonus of my telepathy-granting, laser-shooting (I'd forgotten about that part) Steel Helm of Helote from +13 to +14 (1:16:05) with a Scroll of Enchant Armor--well, 2: the first attempt failed. Not sure what the max enchant is; this 2010 thread on Angband 3.1.2 says the "theoretical cap" is +15: http://angband.oook.cz/forum/showthread.php?t=3894 .
In Angband 2.8.2, 1998, the "practical limit" was apparently +10: https://groups.google.com/g/rec.games.roguelike.angband/c/8HE2EpXyH3A .
Update: I'm told that while the "theoretical cap" is +15, the "practical limit" is still +10, and I just got extremely lucky getting anything above that on only the second try. ^ _^
