Adom bug list of r.g.r.a

1. Bugs causing the game to freeze
   1. None so far
2. Bugs causing the game to crash unrecoverably
   1. Skilled
      Choosing the skilled talent crashes the game.
   2. Stack bugs (ingot bug)
      Game crashes when adom tries to stack certain items.
      Commonly happens when extended dropping unIDed metal ingots.
      It appears to be a matter of conflicting identification states being present in the same square (or in one's inventory), and for some reason the conflicting situation is most readily generated in-game by ingots.
   3. Mindcraft and corrupting monsters
      Killing corrupting monsters that stand behind other monsters with mindcraft crashes the game.
      Take a situation like this: @gr (the r is a chaos rat). When you kill the chaos rat with mindcraft the game seemingly tries to corrupt you after the rat is dead. That possibly causes a small pointer problem because the rat simply doesn't exist anymore; and thus adom crashes.
   4. Poisoned meat
      Giving poisoned meat to a monster crashes adom.
   5. Exchanging gold
      Dipping gold into a potion of exchange crashes the game.
3. Severe bugs and game balance problems
   1. Berferking bug
      Berserking monster may kill themselves. Especially nasty with Filk. (The game looks for the best target and sometimes that's the monster itself.)
      Adom crashes(recoverably) with "Invalid target in GetTargetData", possibly related to berserking.
   2. Uberjackal problem
      Towards the end summoned monsters get too powerful, especially nasty for melee-only fighters.
      Possible solutions: Either stop monsters getting 'uber' (but reduce gained exp and weapon marks after each couple of kills) or limit strength of monster to ~150% of your character's strength.
4. Minor bugs
   1. Falling in rift
      You always fall at least once when entering the rift. If you made it without falling, there would be a stat increase.
   2. Random artifacts
      Certain artifacts are not generated at all.
      One is left with the impression that any non-guaranteed artifact have a low probability of random generation, but they have not. Certain artifacts can only be generated as crown gift and others have not been seen since the mid gammas. Since two artifacts in particular (Vanquisher and Suns Messenger) are extremely powerful this heavily influences the game. Either this needs to be declared a feature or grouping and generation of artifacts should be rethought.
   3. Unicorn starsign
      Unicorn increases the amount of alignment one loses when lawful, instead of decreases.
   4. Cat lord exp
      Killing lots of cats (~300) will cause the cat lord to give you only 1exp (exp wrapping around).
   5. Moloch wearing moloch armor
      Molochs wearing moloch armor get quite fast (possibly speed wrapping around). Works as well with other monsters such as dragons.
   6. Increasing stats
      When increasing stats based on current stats, the probability towards 25-28 is going up. (code meant for 30+ is also being run for 21+)
      For example: When there is a chance to increase a stat based on your current stat, such as when you eat a dark orc corpse, the chances for an increase are non consistent because the code that is meant to be run if you have 30 or more of a stat is also being run if you have 21-29 of a stat. This gives you 100% chance for an increase at 25 and 28 of a stat but only 25% at 26 and 27.
   7. True Berserker
      You need to wield a weapon to get the true berserker bonus (problematic for beastfighters).
   8. Hordes/tension rooms
      In tension rooms and hordes white unicorns should be neutral towards lawful characters or not spawned at all.
   9. Fall in pit without climbing out
      While staying on top of a pit, one can repeatedly activate the trap to repeatedly fall into the pit (without having to climb out).
   10. Exp from door traps
       If a monster triggers a door trap and thus gets itself (and other monsters) killed, the pc gains exp. Especially nasty if you are on an important level threshold (e.g. just below level 17 before entering the Pyramid).
   11. Falling door trap
       To avoid a falling door trap, the PC jumps back on the square that he came from, if this is blocked, the PC won't jump anywhere (water squares are always blocked).
       Example:
       

              1234
             A===#
             B=.@+
             C####

       If you came from the water square A2 you were not able to avoid the falling door (water squares are blocked) even though B2 is vacant.
   12. Lightning Shot
       Archery of 60+ and Quick Shot are not enough to make this talent available. Possibly you need Keen Shot as well.
   13. Missile Weapon Master
       Alert and Keen Shot and 3 missile weapon talent are sometimes not enough to make Missile Weapon Master talent available. Possibly only Affinity with Slings, Bows and Cross-Bows are considered as missile weapon talents.
   14. Rehetep
       Rehetep won't react unless you a) come near him b) use a missile weapon c) use a melee weapon.
       This allows you to kill the other monsters with magic without Rehetep interfering.
   15. Neutral Chaos Spider and Viper
       The alignment of chaos spiders and chaos vipers is neutral while chaos rats and lizards are chaotic.
       This bug was removed after discussion on rgra: Chaos could also refer to corruption and not to alignment.
   16. No artifact on saccing/transforming
       Monsters don't leave any of the guaranteed artifacts when sacced (e.g. Keethrax). This also happens if you transform the monster before killing it.
   17. Elementalist's fire resistance
       • The elementalist intrinsic fire resistance isn't taken into account when calculating your sources of resistance in the Tower of Eternal Flames.
       • If you have the elemtalist intrinsic fire resistance you won't get the 'real' intrinsic fire resistance from fire beetles, lizards and giants, but you can get it from drakes and dragons.
   18. Mindcrafting nonhostile monsters
       When using mindcraft on a nonhostile monster it will attack and be displayed as hostile. However if you try to attack it the games asks whether you really want to attack this monster (thus it should be nonhostile). Possibly related to hostile flag not being correctly updated.
   19. Recharging wands
       When recharging wands with the wizard class ability the game asks you how many charges you want to put in the wand. If you just hit Enter without entering any number the wand will be overcharged and cause a massive explosion.
5. Bugs used to cheat
   1. Piety bugs
      If piety decreases below a certain value it wraps around, thus making crownings easier.
      By pissing of one god, piety with others can get so high you may get precrowned.
   2. Stack blessing
      Stacks can be blessed by breaking them (with a cursed scroll of repair) and reading a blessed scroll of repair.
6. Extremely minor bugs
   1. No game of life
      On a level without herbs the game of life won't work if you create a bush with holy water (flag not set).
   2. Bounty for thugs
      Thug corpses have a bounty value on their head, but Tywat won't accept them.
   3. Skilled doubled
      The 'skilled' talents do twice what is mentioned in the manual.
   4. Wishing for figurines of power
      There seems to be no plural, you can only wish for one.
   5. Ventriloquism
      You can apply ventriloquism while muted.
   6. Looking for webs
      Look command detects webs outside visibility if level has been explored before.
   7. Naming the unseen
      You can name invisible creatures and thus detect where they are.
   8. Sorting of items
      unIDed books are always sorted alphabetically.
      Items with unknown status are distinguished by status(blessed/(un)cursed).
   9. Moving problems
      • Starting to walk wastes one turn without the PC moving.
      • Walking against a wall counts as 1 turn for healing etc., but not for monster movement.
      • Trying to attack a peaceful monster, then cancelling, then moving costs less energy (possibly related to backstabbing).
      • When you do a circular kick that would hit a friendly monster you are asked whether you want to attack. If you answer that question with no the kick is still executed but no one moves besides you.
      • When you are confused by a doppelganger and have the auto-searching ability you get free moves untill the confusion wears off.
   10. Quick Pickup (";") move counter issues.
       • If you use it on a pile of items, but press 0 or more times "n" and then "q", the move counter is decreased by 1.
       • If you pick up an item but afterwards press "q", the move counter is increased but the monsters don't move.
       • If you press "n" for all items, the same as above happens.
   11. Normal pickup (",") move counter issue
       When you try to pick up an item, but for any reason can't do so, the move counter is decreased by one.
   12. Corruption corrupted
       Corruption rate only increases on the 90th day, instead of also on the 180th and 270th.
   13. Rustproof items rusty
       Rustproof items can be generated rusty. This includes iron ore, rings of the fish, helms of water-breathing, and probably more.
   14. Wall of doors
       Sometimes one side of a room consists of doors only.
       Screenshot:

           #####/#
           #..../#      
           #..../#      
           #..../#      
           #..../#      
           #..../#      
           #....##      
           ######  

       Probable explanation: First, dungeon rooms are generated, and then an attempt is made to connect there rooms with corridors. However, when (for some reason) the generator creates a room with even numbers of rows/columns (normal rooms have odd numbers), the corridor generator doesn't take that into account and tries to connect to the room to the right-most/bottom-most tile - which would be rock. I assume that the generator generates corridor tiles before entering the room, and then digs throughout the room turning rock to doors until it hits a floor tile. Normally, it would turn only the first tile to a door - but when it hits the right-most/bottom-most row/column, which is actually the left/bottom wall of the room, it turns it all (or almost all) into doors.
   15. Eating swamp hydras
       Swamp hydra corpses have a too low chance of making you sick (1/1000).
   16. DV bonus
       For monks:If you wear fancy/ugly clothes or a blood-stained robe you won't get the DV bonus despite their lightness.
       For beastfighters: There is no such armor restriction as for monks.
   17. No fire resistance
       Beetles, lizards and giants won't grant you resistance if you already "have" it, while drakes and dragons will.
   18. Room effects
       Room effects don't take darkness/invisibility into account. For example the message 'The walls have mirrors with many distortions of your image.' is also generated when you are invisible and can't see invisible people. And you can see books, a mouth on the wall, mud bath, etc. in dark rooms.
   19. Aged to death
       Everytime the PC is killed by a ghost the game says that he/she has been aged to death.
   20. Negative amount of gold
       Since dragons leave double the amount of gold they picked up when killed, it is possible to get a pile with a negative amount of gold (integer wrapping around).
   21. Losing teleport control
       If you are wearing a ring of teleport control and have the intrinsic you can lose the ability to control teleportitis by drinking from a pool even though you are still wearing the ring.
   22. Slave with negative hitpoints
       Raised corpses slowly decompose untill the crumble - however if they are out of sight they do not die and have a negative amount of hitpoints.
       They still just need one point of damage to be killed. Bug happens possibly because the hitpoints are only checked with monsters in sight.
   23. The tamed mountain fish
       Aquatic beings can be tamed and then taken for a walk on the mountains.
7. Typos
   1. Polemarms
      It says 'Affinity for polemarms' in the initial selection screen for talents.
   2. An used foo
      Happened with 'an used tome'.
   3. Sacrificing an animated tree
      *MORTAL, I AM NOT BUILDING A BLOODY GARDEN UP HERE! NO MORE TREES! }*
   4. Adequataly
      It says 'and adequataly connected to the flow of mana' in the monster memory for a displacer beast.
   5. To you
      The game asks: 'What type of scroll to you wish to create?'
   6. With missing
      A weather report: 'The sky is filled blazing stars.'
   7. Is fills
      Another weather report: 'This moon-lit night is fills with oppressive heat.'
   8. A lone hydra
      Game asks whether you want to evade [...] them.
   9. On/in
      When entering the Old Barbarian's clearing, the message that appears is 'You immediately feel at peace on this beautiful clearing.'
   10. Skeletal king (monster memory)
       Both instances of "It's" should be "Its,". Also, the fifth sentence seems as if it should begin "Skeletal kings" instead of "Skeletal Kings,".
   11. Greater white unicorn
       Missing 'to' in its speech: 'Once I will be able all corruption that has been inflicted upon you.'
   12. Absolutly
       It says 'You feel absolutly mad!' after eating a greater claw bug corpse.
   13. Two weapon
       One message is: 'Weight of the two weapon'.
   14. Water orb
       The message when putting the orb is 'Suddenly the humidity dispenses and everything is normal once more.' - it should be 'disperses'.
   15. Howl/growl
       It says: 'The silver wolf howls: "Grrrr!"'
   16. Tamborine
       It should be Tambourine(s).
   17. 'The the djinni is gone.'
       There is a 'the' too much in the message displayed when a djinni disappears.
   18. Homunculus (monster memory)
       It says: 'They are able to make you fall asleep by touch you.' It should be '[...] asleep by touching [...]'.
