it's mostly bugfixes and subtle enhancements |

not that I'd expect any more from a minor version number bump |

YASI: an artifact weapon that grants half physical damage; and of course for consistency, attacking with it does half damage, compared to the base item. |
| 14:41 |

Right, I assume the 3.6.x series is going to be bug fixes and UI and such mostly, and features will go on some other branch that has not been publicly announced yet. |

wolfechu: the numbers go down considerably when you make sure to check the seperation of wishable and non-wishable artifacts btw. whisperfeet is pretty nice, the helping hand, the artifact armors... and then it ends quite quickly. dont get put off by the seemingly large amounts :) |

By the way, it's been almost one year since I got the pastebinned evil patch ideas; jonadab: do you want to grep for "EPI", "evil patch" and "evil variant" and pastebin the results? :) |
| 08:00 |

Because there's probably plenty of new stuff now. |
| 14:34 |

but people care about broken muscle memory |

that's why you keep the old domain(s) working |

ships GoldenIvy a box full of xans. |
| 13:43 |
< | AmyBSOD\StD | | > |
spellbook of amputation sounds like an evil patch idea :) |
| 13:44 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Box full of xans could be an EPI too. It's a large box, and when you open it, a dozen or so xans crawl out. (Probing should show the xans in there, that'd be the trickiest thing to implement.) |

| 20:37 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Evil Patch Idea: in bones, random-appearance amulets retain their appearance, rather than their function. If the other player died with a hexagonal amulet, you get a hexagonal amulet, whatever that is. |
| 20:38 |
< | ShivanHunter_ | | > |
hmm |

Oh, yeah, unused appearances would be a problem for rings. |
| 20:39 |
< | jonadab | | > |
(Amulets don't have any unused appearances, at least in vanilla.) |
| 20:39 |
< | jonadab | | > |
I suppose we could fill in all the unused ring appearances with "ring of nothing", "ring of no effect", "ring of pointlessness", etc. |

Evil Patch Idea: only one game on the server can have the Sanctum at a time. If someone else has performed the invocation and their game hasn't ended, and you try to perform the invocation, nothing happens. Yuo have to wait and try again after they die, ascend, escape, quit, whatever. |

what about this: Evil Patch Idea: if there's a game on the server that has performed the invocation, and you do so too, you land in their game. You can attack the other player and in reverse, and only one of you can ascend. |

(Though arguably the worst part of thirst is either the early game, when quaffing is _dangerous_, or the midgame, when you'd probably run out of fountains until you get to Medusa's.) |

FIQ: But your god penalizes you with -15 or so alignment if you kill your pet. Without a way to gain alignment in fourk, that's like "instantly lose the game for a petty reason." |
| 05:44 |
< | FIQ | | > |
no |
| 05:44 |
< | AmyBSOD\StD | | > |
Evil Patch idea: if you reduce your alignment record, you die. |

"Alignment record is a significant strategic concern. Notably, you no longer get alignment points for killing most monsters. You get warning messages when losing alignment, and there are some new ways to regain lost alignment." Spoilers please, it's impossible to figure out what these "new ways" are supposed to be! |

fiqhack is one really big balance mistake, and the wands "balance" patch is the worst offender! |
| 12:10 |
< | FIQ | | > |
lol |
| 12:10 |

Evil Patch Idea: merge the wands balance patch into slex, but give all monsters Master skill in wands, and cap player roles at basic. |

Unless we take MC away from mithril, of course. <-- mild EPI |

Compared to its value it weights nothing :) |
| 14:34 |
< | FIQ | | > |
found cancel |
| 14:34 |
< | jonadab | | > |
EPI: dragon scales and DSM weigh as much as crystal plate mail. |
| 14:34 |
< | FIQ | | > |
now let's go back to Mandevil's bones |
| 14:36 |
< | hackedhead | | > |
jonadab: that's not very evil. they'd still be worth it. |
| 16:41 |
< | FIQ | | > |
I think I will remove it entirely and make it fair game for monsters to use it |
| 16:41 |
< | FIQ | | > |
but, to make up for it, make it a bit better guarded |
| 16:45 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Evil Patch Idea: tiles that used to be trapped but are no longer trapped are extra-attractive to monsters (on the theory that now they KNOW there's no trap there, since one has been removed). Especially in Sokoban. |
| 16:48 |
< | AmyBSOD\StD | | > |
Evil Patch idea: if there is an empty space or several empty spaces in a straight line between a boulder and a hole, random monster spawns can only generate on those spaces. |
| 16:55 |
< | wheals | | > |
evil patch idea: let monsters push boulders, make intelligent monsters try to solve sokoban independently of you |
| 16:55 |
< | AmyBSOD\StD | | > |
evil patch idea: make intelligent monsters try to screw up sokoban by pushing boulders into corners, of course! |
| 16:55 |
< | wheals | | > |
that's better |
| 16:56 |
< | FIQ | | > |
I've considered making monsters move boulders, but decided against it because it would open a can of worms in potential frustration |
| 16:56 |
< | FIQ | | > |
Eventually I just made monsters (who aren't giants) deal with boulders by trying to destroy them instead |
| 16:57 |
< | AmyBSOD\StD | | > |
Evil Patch idea: if a monster gets a wand of striking or pick-axe on sokoban, it will seek out boulders to smash them, just to aggravate you. |
| 16:57 |
< | FIQ | | > |
They do that in fiqhack |
| 16:57 |
< | FIQ | | > |
Not in sokoban though |
| 16:57 |
< | FIQ | | > |
But elsewhere |
| 16:57 |
< | AmyBSOD\StD | | > |
also Evil Patch idea: if monsters get digging implements or wands on Sokoban, they will make pits and holes everywhere. |
| 16:58 |
< | wheals | | > |
and you get the luck penalty |
| 16:58 |
< | AmyBSOD\StD | | > |
^^ EPI :D |
| 16:59 |

EPI: if envious player-monsters have wands of digging at astral, they rush for your high altar and apply the wand. |

< | Menche | + | > |
lol |
| 17:04 |
< | jonadab | | > |
I was just thinking Maids (the EPI monsters we previously imagined that wield a sandblaster and remove engravings and pick up objects off the floor and lock them in chests) would want to move all the chests and boulders up agianst walls, preferably in corners. |
| 17:05 |
< | jonadab | | > |
So _of course_ they could generate in Sokoban. |

Evil Patch idea: since the ascension run is too easy, if the Amulet of Yendor ever leaves the sanctum in any way, every empty square on every level has 50% chance of spawning a "summon nasties" monster.

Evil Patch Idea: all non-unique items are breakable on Tuesdays. |
| 09:11 |
< | AmyBSOD | | > |
how about this: EPI: at the start of the game, the RNG picks a useful item type (not something like gauntlets of fumbling) and makes it so that all instances of it immediately disintegrate once they enter your inventory. And as an added bonus, every time it happens, a random other item from your inventory is vaporized as well. |

Evil Patch Idea: every time you pick up _any_ item, there's a 50% chance that one of the items in your inventory, chosen at random (but avoiding unique items) is vaporized. |
| 09:43 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Naturally, the code for this would naively ignore the issue of stack size, so if it picks your stack of 20 +3 elven daggers, you lose all 20 of them. |
| 09:50 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Without actually making it _practical_ to do so. |
| 09:51 |
< | AmyBSOD | | > |
heh, make it so that if the 5% fires, it can randomly delete 1 to (n-1) items from your inventory, with n being the total number of slots you have occupied. |
| 09:54 |
< | jonadab | | > |
EPI: one of the things the Wizard of Yendor can do to harass you when his periodic timer goes off (after you've either killed him or performed the invocation) is to destroy any containers you happen to have in inventory. |
| 09:55 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Their contents get scattered throughout the dungeon. |
| 09:56 |
< | AmyBSOD | | > |
ah, that would be a nice idea too. |
| 09:56 |
< | jonadab | | > |
So some items could end up in the Mines, some in the Quest, some in Gehennom, some in the Planes... |
| 09:57 |
< | AmyBSOD | | > |
Of course that should be combined with the EPI that is in slex, which makes the Amulet impossible to drop once you picked it up so you can't quickly drop it and levelport. |
| 09:57 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Oh, I prefer the one where if the Amulet leaves your inventory it returns to the Sanctum. |
| 09:58 |
< | AmyBSOD | | > |
it could still do that, or alternately, if a nymph or something steals it, she levelports to the Sanctum! :D |
| 09:58 |
< | AmyBSOD | | > |
that new high priest should automatically become immune to whatever you used on the last one; if it was a melee weapon, it will now be completely impervious to melee attacks. |
| 09:59 |
< | AmyBSOD | | > |
Actually, EPI: every time the Wizard of Yendor returns, he is now immune to whatever you used on him last time, so if he resurrects many times, those immunities stack up. The same goes for the Riders. |
| 10:01 |
< | jonadab | | > |

Though for symetry, I suppose it also ought to work for your pet (if you turn-undead its corpse). |
| 10:03 |
< | AmyBSOD | | > |
even better: members of a given monster class will become immune to things you use on others of their kin. So if you e.g. cast force bolt at a bunch of jackals, the first one will die but then the others become immune before the spell hits them. |
| 10:03 |

Evil Patch Idea: the Wizard of Yendor is now a platformer-style boss. You have to hit him a minimum of three times, then he goes to "stage two", where he does triple damage; then you must hit him a minimum of three more times, and he goes to "stage three", wherein each time he attacks he turns 10% of the level to lava. Then you must hit him at least three more times to kill him. Throughout the entire sequence, he can Double |

deepy the lottery in majora's mask is shite |

Evil Patch idea: when trying to read a cursed spellbook and getting paralyzed as a result, the game additionally spawns some out of depth monsters around you to "spice things up". |
| 08:40 |
< | Adeon | @ | > |
kerio: what if I want improved security in 11.2 |
| 08:56 |

Adeon: no but seriously they fixed two bugs that some people were planning to exploit |
| 08:57 |
< | kerio | @ | > |
so they're going to release the exploits now that they're burned |
| 08:57 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
Evil Patch idea: spellbooks can sometimes be "ancient", which cannot be determined in advance, causing their pages to be so brittle that any attempts to interact with the book cause it to crumble. Releasing energy proportional to the level of the spell the book was for, like reading a cursed one. |
| 08:58 |

Oh, haha. Evil Patch Idea: during the month of June, once you get past dungeon level ten, random monsters are generated at an elevated difficulty level. |

Elronnd: "Spider and Web" is an award-winning IF game from back in the nineties. It's crazy hard in some ways but very forgiving of mistakes -- it's almost impossible to make the game unwinnable. |

I like that glyph |
| 08:00 |

Evil Patch idea: an artifact that does d30 extra damage per hit, but is not a weapon so you're always unskilled in wielding it, and every time you wield it there's a 1% chance to instantly die. |
| 08:04 |

deepy: that is an excellent glyph |
| 08:21 |

Evil Patch idea: if you wish for an artifact, there's a 1 in 3 chance that the RNG hands you a different artifact instead, which can also be a crossaligned quest artifact that you can't even pick up. |
| 08:21 |
< | kerio | @ | > |
brilliant |
| 08:22 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
actually, evil patch idea: instead of artifact wishes failing if too many artifacts exist, the game will give you a random artifact instead, preferably one that blasts you. |

< | Adeon | @ | > |
in next commit the high altars are removed |
| 08:56 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
Evil Patch Idea: the high altar on the astral plane is not the goal of the game; rather, the actual game length is 10 times as long as it takes to get from the beginning to the high altar, and keeps rising in difficulty but the player's skill/stat/level caps are not increased accordingly. |
| 08:57 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
addendum EPI: every once in a while, you have to defeat a monster that acts similarly to Rodney but with different harassment effects, so you eventually accumulate many types of harassment that trigger independently of each other. |
| 08:58 |
< | Lorskel | | > |
Or what I like to call, "how to make people stop playing your game" |
| 08:58 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
eventually you have your entire inventory cursed once every 5 turns and are paralyzed even through free action every 10 turns, or something. :P |
| 09:00 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
and after 500 dungeon levels, the harassment effect summons Rodney, Andor Drakon, Morgoth, Meshera Alpha and 5 guardians of Zot once every 250 turns (EPI). :P |

jonadab: Evil Patch idea (implemented in slex): an artifact armor that, if you are wearing it, gives a 1 in 100 chance to instantly die if you bump into a monster hiding underneath an item, giving a "funny" message while doing so. |
| 13:29 |
< | jonadab | | > |
LarienTelrunya: Doing it as an artifact just means nobody will ever wear it (because you always know what an artifact is, even if not formally identified). |
| 13:35 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
ooh! that sounds neat :) |
| 13:35 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Basically, if you can't get it uncursed quickly, you have to play a very strict complete-avoidance-of-melee-range conduct, or you die. |

All that's missing is, Evil Patch Idea: a monster with a psychic petrification attack, that works at the same range as a mind flayer's psychic attack, but instead of doing 2HP of damage or whatever, it starts slow petrification. |

EPI: evil eye. Being in LOS with them slows you (cumulatively if there's more than one). When hit, they paralyze you (like a 3.x floating eye, but regardless of blindness or reflection) and split like a pudding. They also have confusion gaze, stun gaze, illness gaze, acid gaze, and psychic petrification attacks. |
| 15:59 |
< | jonadab | | > |
EPI: And any time you lose current HP, every evil eye on the current level gains that many max HP. |

Evil Patch Idea: new trap type: lava geyser. If you're not fire-resistant, this kills you; otherwise, it destroys any non-fire-resistant items in your inventory, and then the lava begins to harden. If you don't clean it off, you become a statue. |
| 07:22 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
heh, sounds similar to the lava trap that's already in slex (The thin crust of rock gives way, revealing lava underneath!) |
| 07:23 |

Sure, but the regular lava trap would be harmless if you're levitating, wouldn't it? |
| 07:23 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
also, evil patch idea: all the walls are colored, and every wall tile has properties similar to a monster of the given color, except it only does something if you try to walk into it. Walking into yellow or brown walls can petrify you, green ones can slime you etc. |
| 07:24 |

< | jonadab | | > |

actually, years ago I had a dream of colored walls that grant the player a resistance according to their color if you were lined up to that wall with no obstacles in between. |
| 07:25 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Evil Patch Idea: travel and autoexplore sometimes bump you into walls at random. |
| 07:25 |

jonadab: Evil Patch idea: timewarp monster. Unlike other monsters, it gets a move once every 5 seconds of real time, so you suddenly need to react quickly. And if you go afk while there is one on the current dungeon level, when you come back from the toilet you see a DYWYPI message. |

Evil Patch idea: having a property intrinsically or extrinsically makes it work 50% of the time only. In order to have the full effect, you need both the intrinsic and extrinsic. This also applies to e.g. reflection or magic resistance. |

actually EPI: demon gating will spawn progressively harder demons, and after a few dozen times, actually start generating new monster table entries (which only exist for the current game) for even more dangerous demons.

EPI: a monster with a psychic-range paralysis attack. Normally this paralyzes you for 2-3 turns like a gelcube touch, but if you have telepathy, it can "lock on to your latent telepathy" for a much increased duration of paralysis. |

possible EPI idea: make a flag "SPFX_BADARTI" or whatever for artifacts, put that on all the perceived bad ones, and then add an effect (trap maybe?) that automatically creates such an artifact, puts it in your inventory, removes what you had in that slot, and auto-wears the cursed one. |

jonadab: EPI: scroll of vileness, will pick a random bad artifact and auto-wear it, possibly unwearing whatever you had in that slot before (even if it was something cursed). If monsters read it, same effect. Good luck if it makes you wear a cloak of inventorylessness! :) |
| 05:24 |
< | jonadab | | > |
LarienTelrunya: skip the middleman, just add a monster spell that scatters your inventory throughout the dungeon. |

| 05:29 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
hmm, is it difficult to implement level teleportation for items? probably not, because kicking them into a hole deposits them on a random square |
| 05:34 |
< | jonadab | | > |
EPI: a trap that causes every monster on the level to have its mspec_used reset to zero every turn for the next thousand turns or so. |

it is regrettable that I cannot comment at this time |
| 11:47 |
< | dtype | | > |
cannot? or will not? |
| 11:54 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Evil Patch Idea: introduce half a dozen green slimes to the Valkyrie quest, to increase the odds of a situation arising where the player may be forced to step into lava to cure sliming. |
| 11:55 |
< | jonadab | | > |
GoldenIvy: "tamagotchi" is a brand name of virtual-pet toy. "tomodachi" is a (transliterated) Japanese word meaning, approximately, "friend". |
| 11:57 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Although there are only a handful of words you can make plural in Japanese, mostly pronouns. |
| 11:57 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Not sure how the word for "friend" became a special exception to that. |
| 11:59 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Evil Patch Idea: in the spirit of tamagotchi, if you don't make a move for too long, your NetHack character's pets die. |
| 12:00 |
< | jonadab | | > |
And if you don't have any pets, the game creates a cute kitten pet for your character, and kills it. |
| 12:00 |
< | jonadab | | > |
GoldenIvy: ^ |
| 12:01 |
< | jonadab | | > |
EPI: if your pet dies, the game describes in vivid detail how your pet suffers in agony and torment in pet hell. |
| 12:01 |
< | Lorskel | | > |
if he went to pet hell, he deserved it |
| 12:01 |
< | jonadab | | > |
But when you get to Gehennom, your pet is not there. |
| 12:02 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Evil Patch Idea: every monster you kill is sent to a random level in Gehennom. |
| 12:02 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Because it dies and goes to hell. |
| 13:02 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
yes |
| 13:02 |
< | jonadab | | > |
crazy. |
| 13:02 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
jonadab: Evil Patch idea: the mysterious force can trigger when you're trying to leave dungeon level 1 for the elemental planes, and if it does, it deposits you back at the sanctum. |
| 13:04 |
< | jonadab | | > |
LarienTelrunya: EPI: the mysterious force can trigger any time you change levels while carrying the Amulet, or a fake Amulet once you've had the real one in your possession at least once, and if it does, it deposits you at the Sanctum. |
| 13:04 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
super mega EPI: if the mysterious force triggers, it moves the amulet up a random amount of floors, so you need to look for it everywhere. |
| 13:05 |
< | jonadab | | > |
25% chance of that, and it puts a fake amulet in your inventory in its place. |
| 13:05 |
< | jonadab | | > |
And the Amulet resists #name attempts |
| 13:09 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
I hope you're upping the new skills too, especially spirituality, because that directly affects magic cancellation. |
| 13:09 |
< | FIQ | | > |
but how am I supposed to train them |
| 13:09 |
< | jonadab | | > |
EPI: when carrying the Amulet of Yendor, you do not regenerate HP. |
| 13:10 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
spirituality is trained by offering corpses, BUC-testing stuff on an altar, or praying to the gods. |
| 13:11 |
< | jonadab | | > |
EPI: carrying the Amulet of Yendor makes you Stormprone, i.e., peaceful and tame monsters will attack you. |
| 13:11 |

< | kerio | @ | > |
Adeon: the 3ds version is so good tho |
| 13:35 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Evil Patch Idea: if you are turning to stone or slime or sinking into lava, looking at your inventory takes a turn. Because, that happens with lava in 3.4.3, so it must be a good feature. |
| 13:36 |
< | FIQ | | > |
ok it worked |
| 13:36 |
< | FIQ | | > |
LarienTelrunya: yeah, was contemplating on what to do |
| 13:36 |
< | FIQ | | > |
if I had the time to pray |
| 13:36 |
< | FIQ | | > |
and I had 1 spare turn |
| 13:36 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
getting the blank scroll out, writing cure and then reading it would have been 3 turns though! |
| 13:38 |
< | kerio | @ | > |
and there's like one more mask i think |
| 13:38 |

FIQ: high-heeled jumping boots even :D but I think barbarians don't get high heels skill, sadly. |
| 13:39 |
< | jonadab | | > |
YASI: high-heeled slipper socks. |

< | FIQ | | > |
so |
| 13:41 |
< | FIQ | | > |
Lorskel: buc-ID can kill the altar |
| 13:41 |
< | FIQ | | > |
how should I use them |
| 13:41 |
< | Lorskel | | > |
it's highly random |
| 13:43 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Is it a chance per stack, or per item in the stack? |
| 13:43 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
jonadab: per stack |
| 13:43 |
< | jonadab | | > |
EPI: make it per item, so if you drop a stack of 20 arrows, it's a 1/100 chance, twenty times. |
| 13:44 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
and yeah, chatting to the priest without checking whether the altar is still there is a major gotcha |
| 13:45 |
< | FIQ | | > |
LarienTelrunya: the very same char of mine bumped into a mimic shopkeeper |
| 13:45 |
< | FIQ | | > |
angering him/her |
| 13:45 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Evil Patch Idea: invisible quest leaders. |
| 13:45 |
< | FIQ | | > |
that is a feature in slex |
| 13:46 |
< | jonadab | | > |
So you can lock yourself out of the quest by bumping into the wrong tile on quest home? |
| 13:46 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Oh. |
| 13:46 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
So if you want to kill your quest leader first, you can do so. |
| 13:47 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Evil Patch Idea: you only get one chance to get accepted to the quest. If your alignment isn't good enough, poof, the quest branch is removed from the game permanently. |
| 13:47 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
FIQ: finger is basically a wand of probing in spell form, but careful! zapping peaceful monsters will anger them! |
| 13:52 |
< | FIQ | | > |
running isn't a good idea because it had a 6d6 ranged attack |
| 13:52 |
< | FIQ | | > |
just loaded up some techs and disposed of it |
| 13:53 |
< | jonadab | | > |
EPI: a monster with an attack where the damage scales directly with the square of the distance from the attacker to the target. |
| 13:53 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
are you training some ranged weapon too, so you can use double thrownage with it? |

FIQ: the displayed max is what you could normally get; only enlightenment can tell you which skills have been arbitrarily limited. |
| 15:17 |
< | kerio | @ | > |
dtype: i thought that getting any sort of performance was kind of expensive |
| 15:17 |
< | jonadab | | > |
EPI: occasionally it should report the max for a skill incorrectly. |
| 15:17 |
< | FIQ | | > |
LarienTelrunya: gentleman's suit? |
| 15:17 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |

| 15:18 |
< | FIQ | | > |
LarienTelrunya: how do I exercise two-handed weapons |
| 15:18 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Super EPI: very rarely, it should also report your current skill level incorrectly. |
| 15:18 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
FIQ: useless suit that only gives 1 MC and no AC at all |
| 15:18 |
< | FIQ | | > |
that will just cause bogus bug reports |
| 15:18 |
< | FIQ | | > |
@ wrong max reported |
| 15:18 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
jonadab: actually, EPI: a trap that prevents you from using the #enhance command for a while, so you can neither see your caps nor actually improve skills. |
| 15:19 |
< | jonadab | | > |
EPI: a trap that prevents you from exercising your skills or attributes for a few thousand turns. |
| 15:19 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
^^ exists in slex! |
| 15:19 |
< | jonadab | | > |
But of course you can still abuse them, right? |
| 15:19 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
sure :) |
| 15:19 |
< | jonadab | | > |
EPI: you can abuse weapon skills, by missing. |
| 15:19 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
there is also one that makes all your skills behave as if they were unskilled, for a few thousand turns. |
| 15:43 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
however, that attack only has a 1 in 1000 chance to actually land. |
| 15:43 |
< | FIQ | | > |
oh ok |
| 15:44 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
imagine how much it would suck if every hit reduced one of your skill caps at random! <--- EPI |
| 15:44 |
< | FIQ | | > |
jonadab: why can't ghosts displace you? |
| 15:45 |
< | jonadab | | > |
FIQ: Hmm, probably because nobody thought of a reason why they should? |
| 16:48 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
it also gives autosearching and drain resistance when wielded |
| 16:48 |
< | jonadab | | > |
I think Cleaver's average is higher. |
| 16:49 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Evil Patch Idea: an artifact weapon that does quintuple damage against the player, and triple against tame monsters. |
| 16:50 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
heh, you should take a look at slex's artilist.h, I made beautiful comments about all the bad artifacts. Heh, you can even grep for them because I've added a SPFX_EVIL flag! |
| 16:51 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
Many of them are EPI. Like the one that instakills you with a 1% chance whenever you trigger a trap. |

YASI: binning kit, a tinning kit that produces empty tins (but still gets rid of corpses). |
| 14:07 |
< | jonadab | | > |
I'm surprised, if you're going to make a pun on "tinning kit", that you of all people, being the slex perpetrator, would not make it a true spoonerism. |
| 17:13 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Well, yes, obviously. |
| 17:13 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Though I don't happen to know which one, probably because I didn't read backscroll carefully enough. |

YASI: NetHack needs more knitting. Perhaps it even needs Madame Defarge's knitting. |

food rations are made of cockatrice meat! |

whoops, food rations are made of plastic today, they can't be eaten :D |
| 17:25 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
but yeah, making it so that food is randomly flavored with any existing monster type (and has matching effects) would be EPI. |

And unlike mind flayer sucking, wearing a helmet doesn't help. |

actually that belongs into jonadab's list, so: EPI (inspired by deepy): an AD_AMNE monster attack that re-obscures a random amount of visible tiles on the current dungeon level whenever it hits, and unlike mind flayer attacks, wearing a helmet doesn't help. |

YASI: change the damage formula for ranged attacks so the damage for each hit is multiplied by the number of projectiles fired when multi-firing. So if you fire 2 arrows and both hit, you do quadruple what you'd do with 1 arrow. And of course monsters can also do this. |

Evil Patch idea: bones trap. After triggering it, entering a new dungeon level for which a bones file exists will always load that bones file, and dying on an eligible level will always leave bones. |
| 02:37 |
< | deepy | @ | > |
I'm not quite sure that's evil |
| 02:37 |
< | Elronnd | + | > |
LarienTelrunya: that's not very evil |
| 02:37 |
< | deepy | @ | > |
Evil would be if it rolled a random number and pulled a dangerous bone based on that |
| 02:37 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
maybe it's also just a YASI :) |
| 02:38 |
< | Elronnd | + | > |
also, whoever got that would deplete the pool of bones files pretty quickly |
| 02:38 |
< | deepy | @ | > |
EPI: bones trap, it turns you into a skeleton, permanently |
| 02:38 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |

| 02:39 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
what I'd like to do would be: "EPI: bones trap: when entering a new level, the game generates a fake bones level from scratch, which is set up like Yhelothar's fiendishly deadly bones levels, and prints the message 'This is your grave' upon entering." |
| 02:40 |

Hmm... What about this: YASI: disconnected stairs trap - taking a staircase doesn't deposit you on the corresponding staircase on the new level, but in a random location, which may well be surrounded by monsters with no easy way out. |

Evil Patch idea: after uncursing a worn item, it will re-curse in 5 turns if you didn't take it off until then. |
| 06:37 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Evil Patch Idea: curses can't be eliminated, only transferred from one item to another. When you uncurse something that you're wearing or wielding, some other item in your inventory picks up the curse. If you don't have anything else, the curse stays on the original thing. |
| 06:38 |

EPI: no-teleport levels have a grid of iron bars, which are set up so that you can't get from one staircase to the other without going through the iron bars, and which thus means you have to polymorph into something that can. |
| 06:52 |
< | jonadab | | > |
EPI: make that a maze, where the walls are indestructable non-phaseable non-diggable iron bars, and there are monsters with ranged attacks everywhere. |

vanilla needs slex's scroll of barrhing, which creates new iron bars when read. Except slex has ways of removing them again. Vanilla doesn't. That's why it would be an EPI. :D |

jonadab: Evil Patch idea: a terrain type that instakills you if you step into it, like lava except that neither fire resistance nor flying (nor anything else for that matter) save you. Combine it with a variant that does not have the paranoid patch for maximum vileness. |

Evil Patch idea: aggravate monster will surround you with out of depth monsters (ex: master liches and minotaurs on dlvl8) every once in a while, all effects that summon monsters (create monster, summon nasties etc.) also summon out of depth stuff, and trying to tame a monster has a chance of making that monster hostile and permanently untameable. |

heh, EPI: you must pay taxes in-game like in Elona, and if you have too many unpaid bills, watchmen will attack you on sight and the game periodically spawns new watchmen on every level, who will level up as you keep killing them. |
| 14:07 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
So eventually the watchmen will be nigh-unkillable level 50 ubermonsters. And of course they also get nasty attacks like hallucination, disintegration breath etc. |

the cursor blinking |

Evil Patch Idea: when you die, the game isn't over, you just get stripped of all your possessions and accumulated intrinsics and levels and stuff and sent to Hell, which is a new dungeon branch off Gehennom, where dungeon levels are not persistent and about 40% of levels don't have an up stair. If you are already in Hell and you die, you just get sent 5d10 levels deeper into Hell. |
| 07:58 |

hackedhead: Well, if 60% of levels in Hell have an up stair, you can potentially climb back out into Gehennom. Theoretically. |
| 08:00 |

just make the monsters generally safe |
| 14:08 |
< | jonadab | | > |
FIQ: Ah, when you asked "that is evil?", I assumed you had read the list of monsters I put there, which started out mostly-safe (except for djinn maybe) and escalated to toward the unsafe. |
| 14:08 |
< | FIQ | | > |
I think the general idea is ok |
| 14:09 |
< | jonadab | | > |
I mean, fog cloud, no problem, steam vortex, ok once you get fir res, energy vortex, scary until you get shock res which can be a pain to get early, but ok; fire elmental, we're clearly escalating now, purple worm, yikes, elves, ignore Elbereth, nymphs... |

jonadab: EPI: if you quaff a potion and any monster emerges, you are too scared to move and therefore paralyzed for 3-5 turns. If a grateful djinni appears, you cannot specify a wish because you're paralyzed, and therefore end up automatically wishing for "nothing". |
| 14:33 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
And if e.g. a purple worm appears, it will engulf you before you can do anything to prevent it. |

jonadab: maybe it doesn't, but it works for me, and if I need line numbers to see where an error is happening, I use proton |

Evil Patch Idea: monsters have randomized appearances, just like items. You don't know what a given type of monster is until you identify one, which you can do for example by using the identify spell on its corpse. |
| 12:52 |
< | jonadab | | > |
EPI: Unidentified monsters all use the same glyph, a white M, which stands for Monster. |

Evil Patch idea: minesweeper branch in Nethack. Is in Gehennom, has to be completed in order to win the game, setting off a mine instantly kills you and the only ways to avoid it is to never step on a square with a mine. |

If it doesn't, it will instead be a random maze level with monsters respawning 50x faster, and they are all level 50 with appropriate stats, and revive like Rodney, becoming stronger every time they revive. And entering that level triggers the message: "You were fated to die here. DIE!" |

< | jonadab | | > |
Adeon: Actually, he did shoot the boss until it died. But then it had a second phase. |
| 16:18 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Evil Patch Idea: the Wizard of Yendor has platformer-boss-like phases. Seven of them. So you have to kill him at least seven times, each time he spawns. And all seven phases can cast Double Trouble. |
| 16:18 |
< | Adeon | @ | > |
of course any double trouble clones also need to be killed seven times |
| 16:19 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Well, however many times, depending what phase they are. |
| 16:19 |
< | jonadab | | > |
But yes. |
| 16:20 |
< | jonadab | | > |
Naturally, the phases have progressively more damaging and/or harder-to-avoid attacks, like any platformer boss. But the last phase doesn't just turn all the floor on the whole level to lava and destroy every item in your inventory, because that would be evil. |

jonadab: Evil Patch idea: trying to move into a wall will cause you to bump into it and abuse dexterity and constitution. It can also cause you to lose INT or WIS, or suffer from amnesia. Trying to move into a door can do the same things. |

LarienTelrunya: EPI: if your dexterity is less than 18, there's a chance (higher chance the lower your dex is) each turn that you will stumble, abusing dex, con, and str. If it happens too often, it can cause you to gain intrinsic fumbling. |
| 16:22 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
:D |
| 16:23 |
< | LarienTelrunya | | > |
Evil Patch idea: if an item drops on a square containing other items, fragile items can break. So if you e.g. drop two different potion types on the same tile, they will both break by hitting each other. |
| 16:24 |
< | deepy | @ | > |
I can accept that happening if you have low int |
| 16:24 |
< | deepy | @ | > |
EPI: dropping fragile items with low int might cause them to break with the message "Oops" |

Lorskel: btw do you prefer tabs or spaces |

EPI: certain branches have special rules where particular status effects are "forbidden" and cause the game to send nasty monsters to take retribution on you for daring to have the status effect. For example, being stunned in Sokoban (because it alliterates) or blind in the mines (because it rhymes, kind of) is forbidden and will result in nasties being summoned. |

Evil Patch Idea: introduce paperwork and bureaucracy to the game. For example, in order to sell anything to a shop, you must apply for a vendor's license (paying a filing cost of 200zm) and wait 4000-6000 turns for the mail daemon to deliver your license to you. |
| 10:47 |

Also, every 50 thousand turns you must file an income tax return, declaring any gold you have made and paying a 12.5% tax to the Yendorian government. Failure to file may result in your being dragged into court... |

YASI: a bot that monitors IRC channels, and every time someone says bad words it sends a signal to an arduino board that results in a random chance of releasing a drop of poison into a kitten's water bowl. |

bug_sniper: Ah, I figured out what was happening. My filter was grabbing the line _after_ someone said one of the trigger words and phrases (e.g., "EPI"), in addition to the lines leading up to it. In some cases, the last line after one idea was also the first of the lines leading up to the next one, so it was captured twice. This is now fixed. |
