ADOM 1.2.0 Prerelease 18 is available... for everyone!

Almost perfect... except for spells! I need bolt animations so that I'll be willing to play a wizard with graphics

Well, I tend to play casters like melee characters, so for me it is almost perfect with them too.

After watching GordonOverkills video: If it is easy to do, maybe have the mouse-scrolling temporarily "auto-disable" if the pointer isn't explicitly moved to a side.

I've got an issue, when in ascii mode looking at a monster and hitting 'm' for a decription crashes NotEYE.

@Deathwind: can you open an issue in the bug tracker? Thanks!

Oh man, I'm loving this shortcut to jump to the stairs on teleportation. Intrinsic Teleportation, Astral Planes, Helm of Teleportation. I'm a very happy jumper.

Anyway, I have mouse-scrolling and control disabled. My view does however sometimes jump away from my PC's position.

Does anyone maybe know what the reason might be or a way to remedy this behaviour? Is there maybe a auto-centering on the Player Character shortcut?

I would like to suggest something here too, if need be I'll open an RFE, just let me know:

Could you please create a setting where I can have the mini-map automatically jump between 2 pre-defined(I'm thinking, I would make it top-right and top-left in my case) positions based on which direction(west or east, in my case) the PC is moving in and/or 't'argeting/'l'ooking at. It often obscures one's view in the default position and it is inconvenient to disable or move it manually.

I think the view sometimes jumps if ADOM displays a "more" prompt. Maybe this happened to you too?

And the minimap should automatically move "out of the way", but for some reason this doesn't seem to work any more.

Got some examples for a similar phenomenon in my latest video at 7:30 and 24:36, 25:00, 25:07 ... no "more"-messanges though.

As for the shortcut for auto-centering on the player, I simply enter any menu (inventory, NotEye menu...) and back. Two keys.

I have fixed the mini-map to go out of way, if you want to edit the noe files, here is the temporary solution. Add to the end of games/adom-utils.noe:

local lsetmaparea = setmaparea
function setmaparea()
  if (mode == modeMed or mode == modeMini or mode == modeASCII) then
    return lsetmaparea()
    end
  D.map.bot.y = D.map.bot.y + msgreserve - 1
  lsetmaparea()
  D.map.bot.y = D.map.bot.y - (msgreserve - 1)
  end

function getminipos(size)
  if (mode == modeMed or mode == modeMini or mode == modeASCII) and msgreserve * fontsize.y >= size.y-8 then 
    return D.rscreen.bot - size - V(0, fontsize.y)
    end
  end

Change lines 231-235 of common/viewmodes.noe as follows:

      if (mode == modeMed or mode == modeASCII or mode == modeMini) then
        cmp = V.cmpcheck(D.mapcenter, D.map.ctr, bot, top)
      elseif mode == modeTiles then
        cmp = V.cmpcheck(D.playerpos, D.mapcenter, bot, top)
        if lastcmp and D.playerpos.x == D.mapcenter.x then
          cmp.x = lastcmp.x
          end
        if lastcmp and D.playerpos.y == D.mapcenter.y then
          cmp.y = lastcmp.y
          end
        lastcmp = cmp
        end

Thanks, that's definitely good to know :-)

Thanks, Zeno. I'll try that tomorrow. You too, jt.
