Crash Issue on Respawn

Posted on May 3, 2011 by apwhite

The borg will occasionally crash when re-spawning after a death.  This is a newer event and it is related to memory mapping issues.  With the help of Ryan.  I have found another potential cause and corrected it.  If you are still experiencing crashes on respawn, let me know.

Improved Blast Radius Handling

Posted on May 2, 2011 by apwhite

The borg has been aware to not damage some items if they were caught in the blast radius of a ball-effect spell.  But he did not do so carefully.  He is now much smarter about checking the blast radius and looking for objects (or Pets for Zangand)

Losing track of monsters

Posted on May 1, 2011 by apwhite

If the borg was fighting several types of identical monsters (like a groups of Jackals, or Orcs) in a room, there was a chance that he could lose track of couple of them if they moved.  The result is he could be hit by one and not know the monster was there.   So he might be being attacked by 8 Jackals and he would only think there were 6 or 5.

Borg page has moved to WordPress.

Posted on April 29, 2011 by apwhite

I have not used WP before and I have not been introduced to RSS feeds.  But I heard that WP and RSS work hand in hand.  So to help people follow the Angband Borg more easily, here we go.  If anyone has recommendations on plugins for WP to help the process, please leave me a note.

1) Borg was not branding bolts correctly.  Having them in the quiver was messing up his keypresses.  2) Some crashes with respawning are still showing up.  I’m attempting to track them down.  The fix from 4-24 did not work.  I tried another one and will continue to test it.  3) Borgs might not wear an item if the inventory was full.  That is not a good reason to not try on an item.  If the existing equipment slot were full, it would simply move into the inventory.  There are not cases of stacking items in the inventory.  4) Borg will try to not swap in essentially equal equipment.  5) The borg might crush {magical} leather gloves thinking they were of little value
