* Continuation of the range combat overhaul: branding spells.Jude Brown2010-01-011-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As outlined in dpeg's ranged combat overhaul, branding spells should no longer be permanant, nor apply directly to the ammunition. This commit removes all previous "<X> Ammunition" spells, including the original "Poison Ammunition" spell. Instead, branding ammunition is now done via the launcher and the currently existent weapon branding spells. Currently, those that can be applied to a launcher are: Fire Brand, Freezing Aura and Poison Weapon. There is the capacity of Excruciating Wounds to also be applied, but this would require the addition of the Pain ego for missiles, of which the mechanics would need to be decided upon first. Like temporary brands on weapons currently, these brands on launchers are permanantly affixable by using a scroll of vorpalise weapon. This commit also overhauls the Arcane Marksman class. It began by removing the non-existent ammunition spells; this left Devastating Missiles with two spells: haste and deflect missiles. On reflection, I decided to delete the book instead. The Book of Elemental Missiles was easily adjusted by replacing the three branding spells by the existent (and aforementioned) branding spells. As there are no (according to the 0.6 ranged combat overhaul spec) spells intended for use with translocation effects on missiles, this left The Book of Warped Missiles rather empty. Attempts were made (with discussion with Eronarn on IRC) to work out something else to fill up the Book of Warped Missiles with, but I made the decision to get rid it instead, as the only good suggestions basically made it the Book of Spatial Translocations, and in that case, the player may as well select the warper class. We also discussed whether or not to remove Poison Weapon from the Elemental starting book; I decided it was best to leave it now, but increase its level from 2 to 3, to give the book more of a range of levels (starting a Spriggan Arcane Marksman had all the spells listed as "excellent" or "very good"; more on this shortly). I also decided that Repel Missiles is over-used in this context, and upon Eronarn's suggestion and sorear's agreement, have replaced it with Cause Fear. I think this will provide for interesting game play, and that the level of the spell is suitably high enough for it to not be abused. I also made the executive decision that "Elemental Missiles" was no longer an appropriate title, as it didn't contain any ammunition-specific spells any longer, and have renamed the book to the "Book of Brands". It is now: Book of Brands Level 1, Corona Level 2, Swiftness Level 2, Fire Brand Level 2, Freezing Aura Level 3, Poison Weapon Level 5, Cause Fear As the Arcane Marksmen class is now launcher-specific, rather than ammunition-specific, I have adjusted it to no longer give Hill Orcs, Sludge Elves and Merfolk javelins and throwing nets (they get bows like everyone else), and made the decision to ban Trolls and Ogres from the class altogether. The reasoning here is that they have bad launcher aptitudes, and as they are described as "marksmen", it makes no sense to give them a book full of launcher-specific spells and some large rocks and throwing nets. This change could, of course, be reverted, and they could simply be given bows, crossbows or slings as relevant, in line with all other races being given launchers and ammunition. I have adjusted the starting skill levels for enchantments, spell- casting and dodging to that of Crusaders. I have also removed Poison Ammunition from the Book of Envenomations, and replaced it with Poison Weapon instead. Finally, I have increased TAG_MAJOR_VERSION to 14.

* Rename "Fling Icicle" to "Throw Icicle".David Ploog2009-11-031-1/+1

* Bolt of Iron->Iron Shot, Ice Bolt->Fling Icicleabrahamwl2009-10-291-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on FR 1801710 Bolt of Iron and Ice Bolt were both mechanically different from the other "bolts" in that they didn't penetrate targets. In addition, Ice Bolt was very easy to confuse with Bolt of Cold. So they got their names changed to Iron Shot and Fling Icicle, respectively. This change is both external (in the game output) and internal (how the code refers to the spells). This commit also changes the names of the spells in the data files (ie. for tiles) and the names of some data files themselves (tile images). (See the file list.) Note that Lemuel's comment about the concept (and tile art)of "bolt" not fitting with the way the "bolt" spells behave is still valid, but that's another issue. I think this stems from a confusion between lightning "bolts" and crossbow "bolts." Signed-off-by: Eino Keskitalo <evktalo@users.sourceforge.net>

[*] This leaves six spells in the Divinations school, of which Forescry and See Invisible could easily be moved to other schools; Detect Secret Doors could be removed; and Detect Traps/Items/Creatures should be moved to some kind of misc. item with charges (whether rechargeable or not). I didn't want to remove those until the replacement code is in. I added a hack to make sure the probabilities of Xom "casting" magic mapping remain the same. That will have to be repaired later, preferrably by handling it together with Detect Items/Creatures as a separate Xom effect. Shifts spells in saves and bones files. *) This is different from the recent addition of the scroll of silence in that these four spells pose no risk whatsoever and can be spammed safely, making even the food and magic costs negligible. git-svn-id: https://crawl-ref.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crawl-ref/trunk@10542 c06c8d41-db1a-0410-9941-cceddc491573

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | seen. Implemented fixed-level randart spell books, which is all randart spellbooks as of now. All my attempts at sorting the spell list so that spells with the same schools group together have utterly failed. Got rid of the hackish "non-monster origin is stored in item.orig_monnum as (-origin - 2)" logic, replaced with the slightly less hackish "-origin". Added the two enumerations IT_SRC_START and IT_SRC_SHOP to do it. Also, origin_is_god_gift() and origin_is_acquirement() can retrieve the god/source of the item so that you don't have to do the negation and typecasting yourself. Added some new spell flags: * SPFLAG_BATTLE for non-conjuration spells which are still combat/battle related (branding spells and single school attack spells like "Pain"), * SPFLAG_CARD for spells which are card-type effects which don't show up in ordinary spellbooks (Tomb of Doroklohe and (I assume) Disintigrate) * SPFLAG_TESTING for spells which are only used for testing (Debugging Ray) * SPFLAG_DEVEL for spells that are still under development (Crush, Disrupt, and Detect Magic). git-svn-id: https://crawl-ref.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/crawl-ref/trunk@7742 c06c8d41-db1a-0410-9941-cceddc491573
