! 103:
! 104: 1.9.1
! 105: =====
! 106:
! 107: This patch release contains quite a number of bug fixes and improvements, most
! 108: noticably a re-rendering of the font files.
! 109:
! 110: Since we fixed the wand of plenty, replays made in 1.9.1 will not play on 1.9.
! 111: However, 1.9.1 will play recordings and load saves from 1.9, preserving the old
! 112: behaviour. (We intend to maintain this backwards-compatibility within each 1.X
! 113: series.)
! 114:
! 115: This means that 1.9.1 and 1.9 are not completely interchangable, and you should
! 116: upgrade if you wish to compare games with players on this newer version.
! 117:
! 118: Thanks to contributors Antony, flend, SanatMishra, and zenzombie.
! 119:
! 120: Bug fixes
! 121: ---------
! 122: -
! 123: Fixed wand of plenty behaviour. Since CE 1.8, it incorrectly set the cloned
! 124: monsters' max health to half the target's _current_ health, instead of half
! 125: its max health. Now the max health is halved properly and the current health
! 126: is unchanged, but capped to the new max.
! 127: -
! 128: Fixed the loading bars not showing on screen when loading a save or advancing
! 129: a recording
! 130: -
! 131: Fixed some input events being ignored during recording playback (and possibly
! 132: in-game too)
! 133: -
! 134: Prevented Alt+Enter fullscreen shortcut from causing an Enter input in-game
! 135: -
! 136: The graphical tiles toggle 'G' now works during recording playback
! 137: -
! 138: The '6' key now works like the other number keys in playback, instead of
! 139: moving forward a turn
! 140: -
! 141: Fixed even more causes of out-of-sync errors
! 142: -
! 143: Fixed a rare crash caused by extremely long monster death messages
! 144: -
! 145: Fixed some rare crashes during machine generation
! 146:
! 147: Other changes
! 148: -------------
! 149: -
! 150: Regenerated font files to improve legibility and contrast. This should
! 151: hopefully be more of a return to form for Mac players, and a new improvement
! 152: for Windows and Linux.
! 153:
! 154: If you want to change back to the old fonts, replace files font-4.png to
! 155: font-15.png in `bin/assets` (or `Resources/assets` in the app contents on
! 156: macOS) with copies from 1.9 or an earlier version.
! 157: -
! 158: The seed catalog now contains more information, including items carried by
! 159: monsters, legendary allies, resurrection altars, and commutation altars. Also,
! 160: gold is aggregated per level, shackled vs. caged status is displayed for
! 161: captive allies, and keys show which vault they will open.
! 162: -
! 163: Improved perfomance and decreased CPU usage
! 164: -
! 165: You can now quit the program while loading a save, and cancel with the escape
! 166: key
! 167: -
! 168: You can now enter a turn number to continue looking back through a recording
! 169: when you reach an out-of-sync error
! 170: -
! 171: (For developers) You can now take control of recordings in debug mode by
! 172: pressing 'P'
! 173: -
! 174: Seed catalog generation now takes seed and depth range parameters at the
! 175: command line (see `brogue --help` for details)
! 176: -
! 177: Add a command line option to generate the seed catalog in CSV format
! 178:
! 179:
! 180: 1.9
! 181: ===
! 182:
! 183: A new gameplay version! Not compatible with replays and saves from v1.8.x.
! 184:
! 185: In this release, we tweaked or retried some of the changes made in v1.8 around
! 186: allies and searching. We believe they are closer in spirit to the original game
! 187: and represent a better compromise. There are also some new balance changes, and
! 188: a lot of bug fixes.
! 189:
! 190: Thanks to everyone who has contributed code, bug reports, or feedback since
! 191: v1.8. Enjoy!
! 192:
! 193: Gameplay changes
! 194: ----------------
! 195: -
! 196: The wand of empowerment is no longer guaranteed in vaults; a random wand is
! 197: spawned instead
! 198: -
! 199: Revamped the searching system. Instead of performing a strong search only
! 200: after five consecutive turns of pressing 's', you now perform a weaker,
! 201: single-turn search every time you press 's', with a stronger one on the fifth.
! 202: (Control+s will perform five searches, stopping if interrupted, just like old
! 203: 'S'.)
! 204: -
! 205: Walking into secret doors and levers no longer reveals them
! 206: -
! 207: Buffed staff of protection duration. At /N max charges, the duration is now 13
! 208: x 1.4^(N-2) instead of 5 x 1.53^(N-2)
! 209: -
! 210: Nerfed charm of teleportation recharge time. At +1 it starts at the same
! 211: value, but becomes 1 turn at +13 instead of +11
! 212: -
! 213: Dar priestesses are now included in the 'Mage' monster class. A weapon of mage
! 214: slaying will instantly kill them, and armor of mage immunity will provide
! 215: invulnerability to their feeble attacks.
! 216:
! 217: Bug fixes
! 218: ---------
! 219: -
! 220: Liches/phoenixes polymorphed into other creatures no longer spawn
! 221: phylacteries/eggs on death

! 231: Fix Ctrl+x (fast explore), Ctrl+A (fast autopilot), and Ctrl+{vi keys}
! 232: movement not working

! 234: Fixed an issue where fast-attacking monsters could attack the player before
! 235: falling down a chasm or hole
! 236: -
! 237: Fixed more causes of out-of-sync errors. (We think these are now very rare, so
! 238: please let us know if you get one)
! 239: -
! 240: Fixed the tile graphics for lumenstones and turrets being swapped
! 241: -
! 242: Fixed monsters being shown as letters when hallucinating with graphics enabled
! 243:

! 246: -
! 247: Numpad 5 (center button) no longer confirms when selecting a target
! 248: -
! 249: Debug mode, or "wizard mode," is now available by default. Start the game with
! 250: the `-W`/`--wizard` command-line option to play with teleportation,
! 251: immortality and overpowered items
! 252:
! 253:
! 254: 1.8.3
! 255: =====

! 261:
! 262:

! 267: score to appear
! 268:
! 269: Other changes
! 270: -------------
! 271: -
! 272: Oryx's graphical tiles are now fully integrated. They can be enabled by
! 273: pressing 'G' or by using the in-game menu. Compared to v1.8.1 tiles
! 274: pre-release, this fixes some incorrect tiles being used for various game
! 275: elements. (Note: unlike original Brogue Tiles, tiles are available at all
! 276: window/font sizes, but due to scaling they only look crisp at a certain size.)
! 277: -
! 278: Improved the game's appearance on high-PPI/DPI displays. Also added some
! 279: larger font sizes for better viewing on higher resolution displays in general
