I think I've found another omega bug (at least I haven't heard of it yet). I tried to sell some armor to the shop. It told me how much I could get for it and asked me if I wanted to sell it. I said yes, and thing said it caught a core dump signal and asked me if I wanted to save. I said yes. The program then saved and quit. The second problem is that the save file produced was no good and I couldn't restore the game. Any solutions or hint would be very useful.

I just found another bug (or two) in Omega. Ok, I'm running around below level 33. I keep finding treasure rooms. A detect monster shows nothing, nor can I see any monsters (even with true sight on). However, x'ing squares beside me shows a monster there. I can fight them, but if I don't, then they don't do anything. When I walk through those squares, the monsters show up on the square I just left (but still don't do anything). Bug 2 (or 1 1/2?): I find these altars lying around (no surprise), again with nothing appearing on top of them. However, as before, an x, or walking through the square reveals a monster. The monster's name is gibberish (one was 'an injured(level three)', and others were even worse garbage). (Sounds like a wild pointer to me.) I tried fighting in tactical mode with one, with the result that after ordering my commands, I was flung back into normal mode. A ball lightning spell on the square resulted in a core dump signal. I suspect that these garbage monsters are supposed to be Renyard the Fox, etc., and that it will be hard to win the game if killing the guy you are asked to results in a core dump. *sigh* -- -Sam Weber "As long as people will accept crap, it will be financially profitable to dispense it" --Dick Cavett UUCP: {ihnp4 utzoo decwrl uw-beaver}!utcsri!sam ARPA: sam@csri.toronto.edu
