Caveman at the Plane of Air is having difficulty moving. I get the message "It's hard to walk on thin air," even though I have both flight and levitation. I tried both individually to see if there was some sort of conflict between the two, but no dice.

Seems like a bug indeed. @Janne Gustafsson can probably fix it. And hopefully not break the wizard quest or the secret modron plane at the same time (they have also some air).

Good day, it seems that ctrl+p is used for zooming, so how to see message history now in console mode?
Hi, this is a bug, with C(0) and C(p) conflicting in Unix (but not in Windows). The issue has now been fixed, and will be effective in the next pre-alpha version (to be released roughly in a month's time). In the meanwhile, you can use prevmsg extended command.

Thanks!

Hello, playing via ssh on hardfought -> ssh [email protected], as user arnibald. I recently obtained the castle wand of wishing (0:1). I used the single charge to wish for a blessed magic marker (need identifies and enchant weapons and armors - I have some chargings and other plans for the recharged wand). However, when I try to apply the marker, it tells me "you don't have anything to write on." whether I have blank scrolls in inventory or on the ground. I don't know if the scrolls were generated blank, or they blanked inside my bag of treasure hauling during the 'swimming' incident. I've tried with spellbooks in inventory too, in case markers are now only for spellbooks.
I've encountered this situation, too, and it is because your blank scrolls are unidentified. You cannot write on unidentified blank scrolls.
Thanks Tommi.
We have fixed this issue now so that the game informs the player that you cannot write on unidentified scrolls of blank paper in a situation like what you encountered.
It is actually old information. It was changed to neutral a few months ago, since there were too many lawful artifact weapons compared to neutral artifact weapons. Also, the sword is not associated with knights anymore, so any neutral character such as a tourist can get it. I fixed the wiki entry now. We are planning to do an automated system to update all the wiki information in the future, but currently everything needs to be typed there by hand, for which reason it is possible that wiki may sometimes contain outdated information.
Hi,
I've been playing Gnollhack for a little while. I enjoy it more than most other variants, and I have tried them all. I'd like to report a few minor bugs I've encountered.
SInce I have been playing priests, I found that I can't get geologists to buy my gold nuggets. I don't think my healers had this problem.
Some (not all) golems are rendered as M-l. as if they're dragging around a leprechaun. CTRL-R removes them but of course they return immediately. I am playing on the hardfought US server and I use curses.
I just discovered that even though I am carrying The Gladstone, my statistics don't show poison resistance. It also did not show up when I cast the posion resistance spell; however, I ate something poisonous and I was protected. Once I acuired it from eating a cobra corpse, it showed up.
Thanks for making such a fun variant.

Hi,
Happy to hear you are having fun with GnollHack and happy New Year!
I tried a priest and selling gold nuggets to a geologist, and selling seems to be working fine. Can you give more detail what is exactly happening? Do you get some response from the geologist, or does it just return to the main screen when you try to sell? There may be many reasons for the phenomenon/bug, e.g., the geologist is out of money or some other special situation. So any extra information what has been happening before / is actually happening instead of expected behavior is useful.
Let us investigate the M-I issue. This may be sometimes a bit challenging to replicate, since I cannot use your settings or wizard mode on Hardfought, but I'll see if I can get the same issue locally somehow, too (using curses etc.).
I suppose you are checking Gladstone's poison resistance from Abilities Menu => Statistics page = "you" command and it does not show up there. The reason for this is probably that you have not identified Gladstone (normally since its name is immediately visible), for which reason the game does show its statistics anywhere, including statistics page and examine page (the statistics page in fact shows only known resistances). If identify Gladstone, then its conferred powers should show up. If this is the case, perhaps we could clarify the "current abilities" title by changing it to "current known abilities".
Many thanks for the feedback.

When I'm playing locally on Linux, a tame clay golem renders as follows (correctly):
Thanks for the response.
When I try to sell the gold nuggets, they do not show up in the list of nuggets I can sell. If I have only gold nuggets then it simply acts as though I have not tried to sell anything. I can sell them to a shopkeeper without any problem. I have only played two games as a priest but this happened in both of them.
You are correct that I haven't formally identified The Gladstone, but this doesn't explain why it doesn't show up after I have cast the poison resistance spell. There could well be a logical explanation.
Not all golems render with the -l. I haven't been able to determine a pattern. I think it is likely that it is something peculaiar to my configuration, so you might not be able to repliacte it. If it helps, you can try my rc at https://www.hardfought.org/userdata/h/hothraxxa/gnollhack/hothraxxa.gnollrc.
None of these are game-breaking bugs, of course. I just thought I should report them.

Let me investigate the nuggets more.
Regarding poison resistance, temporary effects were not covered by the statistics page / you command, but I added them now there, so they will show up there in the next update.
You have SYMBOLS=S_golem:\xec in the options file. This indeed causes the golems to look like M-l and draw incorrectly. How is this symbol supposed to look like? Perhaps that is something that curses does not support.
It works in TTY as follows (golem is the yellow highlighted square):
