Evil from #xnethack:

2019 Jan 05 Sat:
19:38 <PavelB> Might be worth adjusting the algorithms
19:38 <PavelB> If it's good in the early goom but OP later, maybe make it a root scale rather than a linear one?
19:41 <aosdict@> YASI: quartic root scale
00:14 <PavelB> The latest vanilla commit has showing the prices of stuff in containers in shops and that would be neat to have
2019 Feb 17 Sun:
14:04 <jonadab> PavelB: Arcs start with a +2 whip, IIRC, but they usually switch to the pick-axe because it does actual damage. And then they find a mattock.
14:04 <jonadab> So yes, making vault walls dull a digging tool would be particularly rough on Arc.
14:05 <jonadab> Of course, if we wanted to make it an EPI, a negatively-enchanted digging tool would dig more slowly, and at -3 or worse would not be able to dig through a vault wall at all.
14:05 <jonadab> So you'd need a new pick-axe for each vault.
14:06 <jonadab> And of course the Evil Patch makes digging non-interruptable, so you're helpless :-)
07:58 <K2> changes to digging - https://github.com/k21971/EvilHack/commit/733953e5fcb2ddba9f14eed57415c25e38bbcfb3

08:05 <K2> i'm close to start work on adding obj materials to evilhack
08:05 <K2> using xnethack as a source, where do you recommend i start
08:22 <jonadab> YASI: hallumaterials. When hallucinating, your brass pick-axe may be described as a polyurethane pick-axe, and your leather helm may be described as an ectoplasmic helm...
08:35 <aosdict@> jonadab: That would actually be okay, if you had already decided to bring in halluobjs like grunthack does
2019 Sep 19 Thu:
10:40 <K2> uncursed there we go
10:40 <K2> so, the ball...
10:41 <jonadab> EPI: If your glass helm breaks into pieces, the shards of glass should get into your eyes, blinding you.
10:41 <aosdict@> so ballfall() only gets called when you like fall downstairs or something
11:17 <jonadab> (Although glass's reputation for fragility is actually overblown. Glass isn't steel, but neither does it break every time someone looks at it funny.)
11:17 <jonadab> s/ss's/ss'/;
11:17 <aosdict@> YASI: Implement banshees, and then make their wailing break glass. All glass. Everywhere in range.
11:18 <K2> neat
