There are many changes listed throughout this topic that aren't yet in the first post, but here's another important fix in DFU compared to classic (incorrect weapon displayed damage ranges): viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2300

I don't think the dodge fix is mentioned either. Classic uses a wrong input in the formula so that a higher dodge skill makes monsters harder to hit rather than player harder to hit. We fixed this one also.

Wow, never knew that! That's pretty bad.

Ok, I either reworded or added these:

Code: Select all

-Armor rating values are understated in the "info" popup.
-Weapon damage values are overstated in the "info" popup.
-The "Dodging" skill makes enemies harder to hit when it's supposed to make the player harder to hit.
-Some static NPCs are mistakenly given the beldam status and will trigger a Witch Coven menu instead of a dialog window.**

Great, thanks. By the way, are all of the below bugs and issues in the first post still unaddressed as of the latest DFU build? I had thought e.g. the advantages/disadvantages issue and maybe some others below are now fixed.

========================================================
-Non-flying enemies can spawn on water tiles.**
-Non-flying enemies walk on water tiles in pursuit of you.**
-Custom classes with a forbidden material disadvantage are able to equip shields of that material type.**
-Being in a shop during its "closed" hours makes the shelves lootable, and you can simply loiter or teleport there regardless of thieving ability.**
-Nothing stops you from buying spells you already have and a duplicate entry appears in your book.**
-A gold sound effect plays when buying stuff from shelves, but not spells, rooms, and food.**
-Static NPCs can reference themselves in the third person when asking them for work.**
-Some advantages/disadvantages in the custom class editor can be added together despite conflicting with each other or your race's natural advantages.**
-The spell effects "Charm, Disintegrate, Drain, Pacify, Soul Trap, and Silence" have elemental selection in the spell maker.**
-The spell effect "Charm" is described as a reputation booster, but pacifies human humanoids.**
-The spell effect "Pacify Humanoid" does not pacify human enemies despite them belonging to that category.**

Some of those are likely to be fixed by 1.0, but no one really responded to most of them when I pointed them out. Some were already talked about plenty. He'll fix them if he wants, and it's not like anyone uses charm or pacify, so it's not a big deal. You're better off just getting the weapon enchantments for rep boosts, because that isn't broken.

Good point, but several of those (e.g. the custom class issues and water issues) are clearly bugs, which I think may already be fixed or will soon be fixed. Anyway, we'll see soon enough, since 1.0 isn't that far away.

Those two should be addressed AFAIK, except that you can teleport into a shop to avoid lockpicking I believe. I've not actually tried it, but it's a valid thing to do I suppose. However you can't just loiter, I fixed that ages ago so please either post a bug report or don't say is unaddressed.

Thanks, I haven't been keeping up. I will remove those.

Added:

Code: Select all

-The armor type "Chain" does not show its metal, thus a character forbidden from all metal materials can nonsensically equip chain.**
-Shields can spawn with inapplicable material/construction types like "Leather" and "Chain".**
reworded

Code: Select all

-Your race's natural advantages/disadvantages don't appear as null-point entries in the custom class editor, thus you can duplicate or contradict them.**
and a forgotten QoL

Code: Select all

-Controls: clicking on a lootless corpse disables its clickability so that nearby lootable corpses are easier to click.[LESS CLICKS]
