00:10:45 Unstable branch on CRAWL.XTAHUA.COM updated to: 0.23-a0-558-g30802b1 (34) 00:28:22 ebering: I pushed a storm card rework that's more based on minmay's suggestion. The code is MVP to just test the idea, but I like it in general. The new card misses a lot of the razzle dazzle of the old card, but I am not sure that's a bad thing. But it would be easy to add back some temporary terrain effects 00:42:41 well if it has orb of electricity explosions that's a lot of razzle dazzle 00:43:01 return of the spark card, just without the killing yourself part 00:52:03 yeah, a whole bunch of explosions is pretty cool. At least if you have animations on 01:55:17 -!- johnny0_ is now known as johnny0 03:32:26 Experimental (new-nemelex) branch on crawl.kelbi.org updated to: 0.23-a0-521-gcbeb0774a5 04:58:56 -!- amalloy is now known as amalloy_ 08:36:47 avatar->mname = "What What"; 08:39:55 alexjurkiewicz: while I hate to direct you to beam.cc, probably the best way to implement this card is for the card to set up its own smite targeted bolts with zap type ZAP_ORB_OF_ELECTRICITY 13:25:53 -!- amalloy_ is now known as amalloy 17:34:12 yeah it's not good creating an avatar, because it appears if you get force_more'd during the attack (and you probably will with 12 explosions) 17:54:14 anyway, if you like the idea I'll spend some time updating the implementation, I'll also try to create a good cloud card 17:58:41 it would be cool if nemelex abilities work with your custom deck 18:00:13 it doesn't make too much sense though 18:00:19 there's no need to triple draw 18:00:34 and I *guess* you might want to deal four, especially now that it doesn't cost piety 18:01:07 but that seems like a good recipe for a newbie trap 18:01:41 if you have a mixed deck with some summons followed by destruction and orbstormed your shiny new panlord 18:02:03 (yes, this could happen with current storm in deal four) 18:02:15 I would deperately love to draw four the custom stack, I am more worried about it being OP 18:02:35 it's that too 18:02:44 card effects are strong, getting 4 in a single turn is very strong 18:02:45 but really you are pre-paying the piety to create the deck 18:03:01 getting the exact 4 you want is super strong 18:05:03 yeah. the first time I tried the ability I tried to set up a super strong combo, like elixir velocity pentagram pentagram and then was sad when I couldn't instacast it 18:05:32 you'd want pentagram pentagram velocity so you haste those panlords but 18:05:49 dang 18:07:40 so in terms of creating a newbie trap that's definitely a minus; in terms of power for experienced players it leads to this difficult calculus of "how much piety is it worth it to re-draw for power combos" which is an optimization problem that relies on the exact distributions and piety numbers 18:08:16 so it can't be solved well with qualitative feedback, which makes the optimal use of the interaction a spoiler 18:08:41 -!- THE_GIAGGOSTUONO is now known as eb 21:06:13 03ebering02 07https://github.com/crawl/crawl/pull/916 * 0.23-a0-522-g1f57997: Prompt before canceling damaging cards 10(11 hours ago, 3 files, 25+ 19-) 13https://github.com/crawl/crawl/commit/1f579976111e 21:08:16 alexjurkiewicz: fixed that thing you complained about 21:10:39 in terms of the replacement storm effect I'd like to see the number of electric explosions depend on power, be far enough away to not hit the player, and no rElec 21:54:08 hm about that fix, I was imagining a different approach. It might be harder to code 21:54:42 say I'm targeting some destruction card at one of two enemies and I get a prompt "your fire will go through [ally|bush], really?". I'd like to answer N and target the other enemy instead 21:55:18 ack the storm card feedback 22:15:26 -!- amalloy is now known as amalloy_ 22:35:10 altering the default target in a sensible fashion is challenging, yes 22:38:21 no other targeter works like that 22:38:54 !polytheist 22:39:04 Unwon gods for ebering: Ashenzari, Beogh, Hepliaklqana, Jiyva, Qazlal, The Shining One, Xom, Yredelemnul 22:44:45 -!- amalloy_ is now known as amalloy 22:47:38 how do you feel about changing storm card to use a linear power level, rather than the 3-level card power of current cards? 23:33:41 alexjurkiewicz: I'd prefer it use the existing card level system; for all its woes the other cards are really designed around discrete tiers and while it's hard and spoilery to learn it would be worse to mix systems imo 23:43:22 aperiodic (L27 GrEE) ASSERT(!invalid_monster(&mons)) in 'mon-death.cc' at line 1900 failed.
