New patch 1.1.1.1 for PWMAngband 1.1.1 released!
(client, server and source code available at usual location)
This patch breaks server and savefile compatibility. Regular MAngband 1.1.1 clients cannot connect to PWMAngband server anymore. Use the PWMAngband 1.1.1.1 client instead.
List of changes:
- most of the calls to sprintf() replaced by strnfmt()
- most of the calls to strcpy() replaced by my_strcpy()
- 3 new PWMANG_BASE monsters: unbelievers (surrounded by an anti-magic field... will give some spice when playing a spellcaster)
- ANTI_MAGIC flag added to the "Storm of unmagic" race
- 5 new PWMANG_BASE monsters: silver dragons (breathe cold and inertia)
- 2 new PWMANG_BASE monsters added in monster.txt
- new monster pit: silver dragon pit
- wounded fruit bat characters are now displayed as a number like normal characters instead of 'b'
- new shimmering code for monsters: multi-hued monsters shimmer according to their breaths (if a monster can breathe one element, it uses two colors associated with that element; if a monster can breathe many elements, it uses one color for any of those elements; if a monster does not breathe anything, it uses the old shimmering effect)
- the following dragons are now ATTR_MULTI: Death drake, Scatha the Worm, Smaug the Golden, Glaurung, Sky drake
- fixed deep_nights(): only fuelable light sources with some fuel should empty
- fixed deep_nights(): the "Your light suddently empty." message was sent to the wrong players
- fixed deep_nights(): player equipment screen was not redrawn
- replaced duplicate code for moving monsters/players by calls to swap_monster()
- rarity of Filthy street urchins back to vanilla value (since now they only come with one friend)
- Detect Objects replaced by Detect Treasure for sorcerors
- thrown potions of poison now do 4d4 points of damage
- Detect Objects replaced by Create Poison for rogues (creates potions of poison from any potion)
- fixed detect_magic(): only mage and priest books were detected
- calls to in_bounds() replaced by in_bounds_fully(); in_bounds() removed (obsolete)

Re: PWMAngband 1.1.1.x
New patch 1.1.1.2 for PWMAngband 1.1.1 released!
(client, server and source code available at usual location)
A quick patch with a couple of fixes and a new behavior for the Detect Enchantment spell (based on the similar spell from "Eye of the Beholder").
List of changes:

- disenchanted wielded items now only lose to-hit/to-dam
- disenchanted worn items now only lose to-ac
- fixed rd_item(): ID_BROKEN flag was not properly assigned
- Detect Enchantment now detects cursed items (they are magical items after all...)

Re: PWMAngband 1.1.1.x
Hi there. I am a huge fan of this variant, but for some reason, i cant play it anymore. Ive tried redownloading the client and everything and i still cant get it to work. Perhaps you could help me. Lol i really want to get back to playing.
Re: PWMAngband 1.1.1.x
Did you donwload the server too? If so, you can run your own server to play. Note that you cannot play on an older server with the 1.1.1.2 client... you need to have a 1.1.1.2 server running. Until I get a permanent server, all releases break savefile compatibility, so each time you have to start a clean instance too.

Re: PWMAngband 1.1.1.x
New patch 1.1.1.4 for PWMAngband 1.1.1 released!
(client, server and source code available at usual location)
Major release with a lot of tweaks to the Shapechanger class, the redesign of all dragons in monster.txt and basic code for the forthcoming Dragon (player) race.
List of changes:
- a monster can now drop a corpse/skeleton when killed by another monster
- any kill now adds one to the monster kill count (instead of just non-cheezy kills)
- any player killing Morgoth now becomes "winner" no matter his/her level (you had to be at least level 40 before)
- when a party kills Morgoth, any party member on the same level as the killer at least level 40 and not yet tagged as "winner" becomes "winner" and gets a Grond and a Crown (before that, only one Grond and one Crown were generated for the killer)
- when killed, a monster now drops objects in the following order: winner rewards, quest rewards, normal drops, carried objects, corpse/skeleton
- new player_type flag array: mon_hurt[] (for each monster, stores if the player has injured it or not)
- killing an unique now only gives credit to the killer (party members who took part of the fight will get a line in their event history saying "Helped to kill <unique_name>")
- when a party kills Morgoth, any potential winner in that party must have taken part in the fight in order to become effectively a winner (by hurting Morgoth with missiles, spells or melee at least once)
- Pseudo Dragon Scale Mail becomes Ethereal Dragon Scale Mail (base level increased to 70, base price increased to 80k)
- Bronze Dragon Scale Mail more expensive (base price increased to 50k)
- new DSM: Crystal Dragon Scale Mail (provides resistance to shards, activates for breathe shards)
- new DSM: Silver Dragon Scale Mail (provides immunity to cold and free action, activates for breathe cold/inertia)
- new DSM: Shadow Dragon Scale Mail (provides resistance to nether, activates for breathe nether)
- new armor: Dracolisk Scale Mail (provides immunity to fire and resistance to nexus, activates for breathe fire/nexus)
- ATTR_MULTI flag added to the Dracolisk and Dracolich races, and to Itangast the Fire Drake
- the Wyvern race is now displayed in dark grey color
- "Mature dragon" race names changed to "Dragon"
- Pseudo-dragon race removed
- new dragon: Newborn dragon (weakest, no breath)
- new monster flag: SHIMMER_BASE (makes monsters shimmer depending on their base color, compared to ATTR_MULTI which makes monsters shimmer depending on their breaths)
- SHIMMER_BASE added to the Wyvern race, to Kavlax the Many-Headed and to Tiamat, Celestial Dragon of Evil
- Tiamat, Celestial Dragon of Evil is now displayed in dark grey color and found deeper (dungeon level 85, to match Ancalagon the Black in power)
- ATTR_MULTI flag removed from Tiamat, Celestial Dragon of Evil
- Death drake race name changed to Great shadow drake
- Ethereal dragon race name changed to Great ethereal drake
- "Dragon", "Drake" and "Wyrm" (monster) races have been redesigned (and rebalanced - some weaker, some stronger) to be able to use them as forms for the forthcoming Dragon (player) race: now they all have "baby dragon/drake", "young dragon/drake", "dragon/drake", "ancient dragon/great drake", "great wyrm" and "ancient wyrm" flavors
- Polymorphed players now only get half the stat adjustment from their base player race
- basic code (lib files, birth screen, variables, arrays...) for the Dragon (player) race implemented (but the choice of this race during character birth is disabled for now)

Re: PWMAngband 1.1.1.x
New patch 1.1.1.5 for PWMAngband 1.1.1 released!
(client, server and source code available at usual location)
This release is compatible with 1.1.1.4 and mainly adds the Dragon (player) race.
List of changes:

- the Dungeon Master cannot be a Dragon (choosing Dragon will result of Human being picked up instead)
- the Dungeon Master now starts with 50 million experience points
- the Dungeon Master now starts with knowledge of every monster in the game
- Dragons evolve physically as they advance in levels: at level 1, they start as newborn dragons; at level 5, the color of their scales is revealed and they polymorph into a baby dragon of that color; at level 15, they polymorph into a young dragon; at level 25, they polymorph into a fully grown dragon; at level 35, they become an ancient dragon; at level 45, they polymorph into a mighty wyrm; finally, at level 50, they become an ancient wyrm
- Dragons never turn into a ghost when they die (death is final - a small price to pay for such powerful race)
- Dragons cannot choose the Necromancer or the Shapechanger class
- Dragons cannot wield any weapons
- Dragons get special melee attacks (biting and clawing) that increase in power as they gain levels
- Dragon monks get special tail attacks replacing the Monk's usual fighting techniques
- py_attack() completely rewritten to factorize PvP and PvM code
- fixed py_attack(): rogues should only be able to stab visible monsters
- fixed py_attack(): messages should use "someone" to describe invisible players in PvP
- do_cmd_fire() and do_cmd_throw() completely rewritten to factorize the code
- fixed do_cmd_fire/throw(): messages should use "someone" to describe invisible players in PvP
- Dungeon Master "Summon Specific" command modified: putting a '#' followed by a monster race name after the "Enter (partial) monster name: " prompt now summons from that exact race name (case insensitive)
- player race and class info on the client are now obtained by parsing p_race.txt and p_class.txt the same way as it is done on the server

Re: PWMAngband 1.1.1.x
New patch 1.1.1 build 6 for PWMAngband 1.1.1 released!
(client, server and source code available at usual location)
This release breaks savefile compatibility. A whole server reset is required.
This is a major release: you will probably need to get used to the new store system...
List of changes:
- added missing OPEN_DOOR flag to the Newborn dragon race
- missiles picked up from the floor will now stack with existing missiles in the quiver slot if they are similar
- new configuration variable: VERBOSE_LOG (verbose server log to help tracking bug locations in the source code)
- remove/dispel curse now also works on items in the pack
- remove curse now only uncurses one item while dispel curse still uncurses all items in inventory (to make dispel curse more useful)
- fixed p_hist.txt: an incorrect history entry for the Dragon race was crashing the server at character birth when choosing Dragon for character race (need to delete p_hist.raw in /data)
- fixed player_setup(): every player that logs in (including ghosts, players with passwall ability and players joining back on an unstaticed level) should be placed on an "empty" floor grid (i.e. never stuck in walls, on top of a monster or on top of another player)
- removed obsolete wraith_in_wall field from the player_type structure
- the tavern is now always generated with max size (16x11)
- fixed all commands affecting floor items: a notification should always be sent to the client when the description of an item on the floor changes
- fixed a typo in the "You feel less resistant to poison." message
- the chance of dead monsters generating a skeleton has been lowered (especially in town)
- all spells affecting terrain features are now disabled completely outside of the dungeon: door_creation(), stair_creation(), warding_glyph(), earthquake(), destroy_area(), sea_runes(), wall_creation(), wipe_spell(), trap_creation()
- amnesia now really makes spells fail half of the time
- staves of the magi now only restore 500 mana points
- scrolls of *identify* are now stored as staple item in the black market
- potions of healing, scrolls of teleportation and potions of restore mana are now stored as staple items in the expensive black market
- fixed store_examine(): examining items in player owned shops was giving away all hidden properties
- field "cost" removed from artifact_type and ego_item_type structures: the price of ego items and artifacts is now computed in object_value() from the object base cost and bonuses/penalties for each ability possessed by the item
- new object flag: WORTHLESS (used for worthless base objects, ego items and artifacts to replace base cost of 0)
- items with negative pval/bpval are not automatically tagged as "worthless" now (some of those items are actually quite good, especially some of the artifacts): they will get a penalty to their value equal to twice the boost they would get if the pval/bpval was positive, and only items with the WORTHLESS flag or items with a value of 0 will be tagged as "worthless"
- removed obsolete check against old "dungeon objects", making object kinds 440 to 479 available again
- fixed curse_armor() and curse_weapon(): true artifacts were not preserved when blasted
- removed the rating boost from kollas
- high level amulets (magi, devotion, weaponmastery and trickery) and useful potions (the 3 healing potions, the 2 restore mana potions, stat potions and potions of augmentation) can now be generated as "good" drops
- ego and artifact diggers can now be generated as "good" drops
- damaged weapons (broken daggers/swords) can now be generated as "good" drops if repaired (positive to-hit/to-dam)
- damaged armor (filthy rags) can now be generated as "good" drops if repaired (positive to-ac)
- ego and randart light sources can now be generated as "good" drops
- fixed apply_magic() and place_object(): failing to generate an ego item or artifact as "great" drop is still possible, but much less likely
- CHR value boost on items down from 200 to 100
- STEALTH value boost on items down from 250 to 200
- SEARCH value boost on items down from 500 to 100
- INFRA value boost on items down from 150 to 100
- TUNNEL value boost on items down from 175 to 100
- BLOWS value boost on items up from 2000 to 4000
- SLAY_XXX, KILL_XXX and BRAND_XXX value boost on ego missiles increased to 1/20th the corresponding boost on weapons
- SUST_XXX value boost on items tripled when having all 6 sustains
- IM_XXX value boost on items tripled when having all 4 immunities
- RES_XXX value boost on items tripled when having all 4 base resistances
- RES_XXX value boost on items increased by 33% for each extra high resistance
- some more tweaks in the value boost for known item properties
- value boost for artifact (+ some other MAngband specific items) activations added
- fixed Send_char(): the screen was never updated during mind link for the linked character
- fixed monster.txt: Great wyrms of power should be displayed in light red like all other forms of power dragons
- base weapon weights/damage dices are back to vanilla Angband values; two-handed weapons get a +2 bonus to damage sides
- the color of seeker bolts has been changed to dark green to match vanilla Angband
- many tweaks in object.txt (many values/properties are back to what they were in vanilla Angband)
- fixed a few typos/errors in object.txt
- scrolls of teleportation are now more expensive
- The Massive Iron Crown of Morgoth is back to a 20lbs weight
- many tweaks in artifact.txt (many values/properties are back to what they were in vanilla Angband)
- true artifacts have now a minimal value of 1 to ensure they can all be sold (except permanently cursed ones)
- fixed set_cut(): added a check for ghosts... since ghosts can't bleed
- many tweaks in ego_item.txt (many values/properties are back to what they were in vanilla Angband)
- the rarity system for ego items has been reverted to the easier system from current vanilla Angband: chance of generating an ego item = (1 / ego rarity) instead of (ego rarity / ego max rarity)
- fixed easy_know_p(): rings and amulets should never be easy known because they can be artifacts
- items with a value of 0 cannot be bought in player owned shops anymore
- inscribing an item "for sale 0" in player owned shops will now display the item in the shop without letting other players buy it
- true artifacts shown in player owned shops will now have a value of 0 to prohibit players from buying them
- fixed prt_player_equippy(): rings and amulets were not displayed in the character property sheet
- scrolls of life have been added as staple items in the temple
- shadow/ethereal dragon and shadow/ethereal DSM have been switched (to match shadow cloak: res lite/dark and ethereal hound: breathe nether)

Re: PWMAngband 1.1.1.x
Oops... build 6 has a major bug that makes archers/characters using missiles unplayable. Better wait for the next release before playing PWMAngband again (should be done by the end of the week).
Re: PWMAngband 1.1.1.x
New patch 1.1.1 build 7 for PWMAngband 1.1.1 released!
(client, server and source code available at usual location)
Minor release with mostly bugfixes... and a new simplified PvP system.
List of changes:
- added OPEN_DOOR to the ethereal and shadow drake races (required for players in that form to be able to open house doors)
- removed INVISIBLE/PASS_WALL from the shadow drake races
- fixed choose_character(): pressing 'back' after choosing the Dragon race wasn't working
- do_cmd_store() has been modified: sometimes, the Angband 3.0.8 event loop gets "stuck" while shopping; when this happens, pressing SPACE fixes the problem
- fixed inven_takeoff(): item was added to pack before being removed from equipment, which produced weird results when removing missiles
- fixed py_attack(): a blank line was displayed when no critical hit was scored
- the base digging bonus of digging tools has been moved from pval to bpval to avoid insane strength bonuses on ego picks of earthquakes, while retaining the high digging bonuses on such items
- fixed process_command(): 'T' and 'ctrl-dir' can now be used to tunnel again
- fixed master_generate(): ego witan boots were generated without the -2 penalty to stealth
- fixed process_monster(): the "noise" value used to determine if a monster wakes up depending on the closest player's stealth was incorrectly kept in a static global variable; a "noise" field has been added to the player's structure and used instead to make sure the right "noise" value is used (see Angband 3.0.x)
- health_redraw() has been modified to match Angband 3.0.x more closely, and the health bar now reflects when a monster or a player is poisoned or bleeding
- the PvP system has been greatly simplified: only one level of hostility defined by the PVP_HOSTILITY configuration variable
- the PVP_NOTIFY configuration variable has been removed: making player hostile will always warn both players, and a message will be displayed in red in the chat window
- hostility vs party removed: hostility is now on player basis only
- the PVP_SAFEHOSTILITY, PVP_SAFEDEPTH, PVP_SAFERADIUS and PVP_SAFELEVEL configuration variables have been removed: just use a house to stay safe from PvP combat
- stealing has been disabled if the thief or the target is hostile (or in brutal mode)
- stealing has been disabled if the target cannot retaliate (safe mode, no-PvP mode, or thief and target in the same party)
- hostile players are displayed in red (player screen)
- potential hostile players (safe mode, one player is hostile but the other isn't) are displayed in yellow (player screen)
- players cannot add/remove hostility in brutal mode (implicit) or when PvP is disabled (irrelevant)
- adding hostility in normal or dangerous modes now sets both players hostile
- removing hostility now makes both players non-hostile again
- true artifacts once sold in a shop by a player won't be generated for that player again

- fixed message_last(): blank lines were displayed when the maximum number of messages to remember was reached
- fixed project_m(): server was crashing when a monster breathed gravity on another monster
- fixed teleport_player(): ghosts could be teleported inside rock (should only happen when a player dies and the ghost is teleported to a safe place)
- fixed calc_bonuses(): the to-hit/to-dam from missiles put in the quiver slot were added to the player total to-hit/to-dam
- fixed store_confirm(): the check for sold artifacts had no effect (it was done too late)
- fixed calc_bonuses(): archers throwing rocks didn't get extra shots per round (making dragon archers totally unplayable)... now they get up to 6 extra shots at level 50
- the character screen ('c' command) is now displayed like in vanilla Angband 3.0.x
- the main screen now displays HP/MAXHP and SP/MAXSP like vanilla Angband 3.0.x
- the main screen now only displays SP/MAXSP if the character can cast spells

- the random artifact generation routine has been modified to match vanilla Angband 3.0.x more closely
- only digging tools can now have the TUNNEL object flag
- items with a real value of 0 are not tagged as "broken" anymore, they are just tagged as "worthless"

Re: PWMAngband 1.1.1.x
New patch 1.1.1 build 9 for PWMAngband 1.1.1 released!
(client, server and source code available at usual location)
Minor release with mostly bugfixes again.
List of changes:
- fixed player_death(): the "ghost" flag had to be set after polymorphing dead shapechangers back to their original form, not before
- ent shapechangers only get -1 to speed instead of -2 when polymorphed
- fixed Send_equip()/Receive_equip(): PKT_EQUIP didn't send the amount of missiles equipped in the quiver slot, making impossible to sell multiple missiles from the quiver slot to shops
- the field xtra2 from the object_type structure is now a long integer and holds the seed value for extra random object powers (resistances, sustains, abilities, ESPs)
- all random object powers are now set using the same method (calls to RNG using a fixed seed... like what's done for random artifacts)
- new object flag: ESP_RADIUS (full ESP inside an area of telepathic awareness)
- ESP_ALL restored to its full glory (detects sentient monsters on the whole level)
- ESP_ALL is now much rarer (see following changes)
- new concept: telepathic awareness (1/12 chance of giving a racial ESP for each of the 7 racial ESPs, 2/12 chance of giving ESP evil, 2/12 chance of giving ESP radius, 1/12 chance of giving full ESP)
- ents get ESP_RADIUS at level 50 instead of ESP_ALL
- ego items "of Telepathy" renamed to "of Telepathic Awareness"
- ego items "of Telepathic Awareness" now give a random ESP instead of ESP_ALL (same as amulets of Telepathic Awareness)
- fixed self_knowledge(): typos corrected
- fixed check_experience(): it was possible for dragons to advance instantly from level 48 to level 50 due to an integer overflow

Re: PWMAngband 1.1.1.x
New patch 1.1.1 build 10 for PWMAngband 1.1.1 released!
(client, server and source code available at usual location)
Minor release with new client options ported from Angband 3.0.8, a simple auto-squelch system, and some bugs fixed.
List of changes:
- DOOR_BUMP_OPEN configuration option removed: it is now handled for each player by the easy_alter option
- fixed show_equip(): the displayed weight of missiles put in quiver was incorrect
- fixed rd_dungeon_special(): no special levels can be designed for dungeon levels 99 (Sauron), 100 (Morgoth) and 127 (Senyakaze/Xakaze)
- fixed store_create_staples(): ironman staples were created for non-ironman servers
- new configuration option: LIMIT_STAIRS (if set to 1, up/down staircases are not connected between levels; if set to 2, only down staircases are generated, and spells like teleport level or probability travel will only allow the player to go down)
- new configuration option: NO_RECALL (special starting equipment for players; no wilderness; special store choices and staple items; special static pre-designed levels loaded at runtime; no townies; no monsters on special levels; recall enabled for winners only)
- new configuration option: NO_GHOST (players have only one life)
- IRONMAN configuration option removed: set LIMIT_STAIRS = 2, NO_RECALL = true and NO_GHOST = true for "ironman" settings
- the server now tells about configuration restrictions (stairs, no-recall, no-ghost) when a client connects
- birth options are now available to characters with 0 experience only (instead of level 1 characters)
- new field "owner" added to the object_type structure to tell if an object has been picked up by somebody (first step to item ownership)
- items that have a different "owner" cannot be acquired by a player that has birth_no_stores defined (includes picking up objects, stealing, wearing items from the floor and receiving objects using telekinesis)
- players having birth_no_stores defined have limited interaction with items on the floor that have a different "owner": the only commands allowed are observe, inscribe, uninscribe and browse
- fixed do_cmd_wield(): most checks done when picking up items were not done when wielding/wearing an item from the floor
- new simple auto-squelch system (see below)
- new field "squelch_lvl" added to the player_other structure to define the auto-squelch level
- new menu item "Set auto-squelch level" in the options screen to define the auto-squelch level
- new field "squelch" added to the object_type structure to mark items as squelchable
- the "," command has been modified to pick up items using the auto-squelch system
- the "g" command has been modified to bypass auto-squelch when picking up items
- identified items and obvious junk matching the defined auto-squelch level are automatically destroyed when picked up with auto-squelch on
- unidentified items matching the defined auto-squelch level are automatically destroyed when pseudo-identified
Alignments with MAngband 1.x:
- Failed socket connection causes infinite loop: fixed
Alignments with Angband 3.x:
- rearranged the options menu a little (Angband 3.0.8)
- fixed store owner display (Angband 3.0.8)

- fixed the default illumination options so that unobserved wiz_lite() grids stay dark until visited and non-LOS grids are darker than LOS grids (Angband 3.0.8)
- normal torches/lanterns no longer have a base pval (object.txt): starting fuel is now set randomly based on FUEL_TORCH and FUEL_LAMP (Angband 3.0.8)
- moved windows-specific files to win/ subdirectory (Angband 3.0.8)
- added page-based menu support in stores (Angband 3.0.8)
- fixed various problems with menu prompts in store (Angband 3.0.8)
- new easy_alter option: Open/Disarm doors/traps on movement (Angband 3.0.8)
- new easy_open option: Open/Disarm/Close without direction (Angband 3.0.8)
- new show_labels option: Show labels in equipment listings (Angband 3.0.8)
- new hp_changes_color option: Player color indicates low hit points (Angband 3.0.8)
- new center_player option: Center map continuously (Angband 3.0.8)
- new show_flavors option: Show flavors in object descriptions (Angband 3.0.8)
- new birth_ironman option: Restrict the use of stairs/recall (Angband 3.0.8)

Re: PWMAngband 1.1.1.x
New patch 1.1.1 build 11 for PWMAngband 1.1.1 released!
(client, server and source code available at usual location)
Minor release with some MAngband 1.x bugs fixed, character screen dumps, features ported from Angband 3.0.x, new General Store from Angband 3.0.8, SDL client improvements and many more things.
List of changes:
- fixed choose_character(): it was possible to choose disallowed race/class choices (dragon necromancer/shapechanger) by choosing the class from a valid race, pressing "back", choosing the race and pressing "next" twice
- fixed set_cut(): dead players didn't have their cut counter reset
- run counter increased by x10 (less disturbance when running in the wilderness)
- "Nobody, the Undefined Ghost" removed
- race, class, sex, stats removed from mangclient.ini (obsolete entries)
- the auto-squelch system will now preserve "good" template items (DSMs, high books, speed rings, high level amulets and "good" potions) when set at "average" level
- ironman store choices removed (obsolete with the new General Store from Angband 3.0.8)
- new "expensive" field added to the object_type structure (object is sold at XBM price in the General Store)
- magic arrows/shots/bolts cannot be generated in piles anymore (in stores or from random drops)
- scramble_artifact() altered to force random artifacts to have at least one "real" ability, and not only extra to-hit/to-dam/to-ac
Alignments with MAngband 1.x:
- Players are repositioned incorrectly: fixed
- Tmp-file crash: fixed
- Apply special light to mangband-specific terrain features: done, but applied to grass only

- make_attack_spell(): damage caps for breaths have been updated to Angband 3.0.x
- project_p(): players have a chance to resist the teleportation effect from gravity (Angband 3.0.x)
- r_info initialization implemented like Angband 3.0.x (parsing of monster.txt)
- added code to lib/edit initialisation that balances monster power (depth, rarity and experience) and outputs revised monster.txt file in lib/user (Angband 3.0.8)
- stats above 18/220 are now displayed as numbers (18/230, ...) like Angband 3.0.x
- maxed stats are now displayed with a preceding "!" like Angband 3.0.x
- moved some constants to store.c, and simplified that file (Angband 3.0.8)
- General Store moved to always stocking staples and nothing else (Angband 3.0.8)
- simplified and genericised some more code in xtra1.c/c-xtra1.c for subwindows and the status line (Angband 3.0.8)
- added %b binary specifier to strnfmt for debugging purposes (Angband 3.0.8)
- k_info initialization implemented like Angband 3.0.x (parsing of object.txt)
Features/problems partially implemented/fixed:
- Implement limits.txt file for client
- Implement p_race.txt file for client

Re: PWMAngband 1.1.1.x
A beta version of the forthcoming build 13 is out... I had to release this intermediate version to fix some annoying bugs from build 12.
My test server has been updated as well as the client.
