@hothraxxa Hi, we will ask our server specialist to look into the root of the problem. It seems almost as if the server run out of disk space, but there's plenty of it left, so it really can't be the reason and thus it is hard to say yet what happened. It seems very odd that the dumplog file...

Hi, in GnollHack, advancing with two-weapon fighting is currently implemented so that you need to hit successfully 20 times with you left-hand weapon to advance to basic level. In vanilla, this may work differently. I tested this with a samurai in debug mode and it seemed to work as intended...

Just to confirm, I already implemented the yes/no question for this, and the feature will be part of the next version of GnollHack.

Hi, this is the way vanilla NetHack works. However, carrying capacity is higher in GnollHack, so squeezing can happen easier. Nevertheless, we will add a yes/no question to choose whether one wants to squeeze as a new feature in the next version of GnollHack, as you suggest.

GnollHack 4.0.23 has been released with a large number of new features and bug fixes. See the details here: GnollHack 4.0.23 on GitHub You can also play the game on our public servers. Happy GnollHacking!

Dear all, please note that we are organizing a GnollHack beta tournament starting tomorrow, 1 April. There is a $200 prize pool for ascensions. We also recently published the 4.0.22 version, which is being played at the tournament.

GnollHack 4.0.22 has been just released. Download the Windows binaries and check out the new features at: GnollHack 4.0.22 at GitHub As before, you can play them also on our public servers. More information on them and the game in general can be found at GnollHack Wiki.

The changes are now on the public servers.

Hi, the skill slot costs were indeed a bit unnecessarily onerous. We updated the bare handed combat and martial arts skill slot costs to be: Bare handed: 1 / 1 / 2 Martial arts: 2 / 3 / 3 / 4 / 4 Also, as a bonus, the skill advancement (enhance) page tells you the double-hit chance at each...

Hi, I made an update to the public servers, as a number of bugs have been fixed.

Thanks, we'll keep these in mind. In some fantasy games, e.g. dwarves have firearms, so it might be worthwhile to think about them. But maybe this should be somehow combined with mixing gunpowder etc. to make it slightly more interesting, maybe sort of another type of technological magic feel to...

Ok, I make an issue of this on GitHub. This requires a bit of extra work.

Ok, lances work now as before, and fortune cookies are working as well. I updated the Windows binaries and the public game servers. We can think about how spears should work.

Finally, it looks like lance is not a polearm, pickaxe, or axe, which are the only appliable weapons. What did lance do by applying before? You should still be able to joust monsters if you are riding, which is I guess what a lance is supposed to do.

So the problem with fortune cookie was that there is another new data field indicating the % chance of the effect, which was accidentally 0% rather than 100%. Thanks for this bug report.
