* This is a bugfix release for the stable 1.8 branch. This release does mainly
consist of smaller fixes and changes. This is most likely the last 1.8.x
release.
Nine months since the last release, so much for the weekly release
schedule POWDER started with! You will notice that I have at least
maintained the same size release, minor fixes and a new spell. I'm
particularly happy with finally finding a compromise for god-induced
flamestrikes - you get a warning now so they are less just an
insta-death out of the blue.
You may thank the Annual Roguelike Release Party (ARRP) for this
release - it provided the impetus to get something out. If you like
POWDER, but are frustrated at the slow rate of development, I
strongly recommend checking the rest of the roguelike scene!
MSVC Express Edition 2008 project files and instructions added,
created by Andreas Bohm.
Tower shields are large. (Claudio)
"You cannot hide from I!" is now "You cannot hide from Me!"
(B. Perry)
Looking at a square will also describe any smoke there.
The dig spell now has the side effect of spraying the excavated
rock shards, damaging those around you.
Create Pit spell is now 10 MP rather than 15.
Blizzards fill the air with sleet and snow, not sleet and slow.
Though the latter does describe their special effect nicely.
New spell: Sandstorm
If a god decides to flamestrike you, you now get a few turns
warning to prepare yourself.
Monsters properly check safety of squares before stepping on
them.
If trapped inside a wall without Phase or Breathess, you will
suffocate. (Strange Child, Julian Agloro)
Helmets should be sorted together now. (Aapo)
Empty bottles will be filled by down pour now. (Aapo)
Entomb has a better message when blocked. (Aapo)
Rocks are created when rocks fall on your head. (Aapo)
Spells you can't cast have (!) after them in the zap list (Aapo)
Saving when out of disk space should no longer corrupt your
last save game. (Aapo)
Tossing an item hand to hand no longer takes a turn. (Aapo)
Spears, knives, and daggers no longer let you equip stacks.
(Aapo)

LinCity-NG is a City Simulation Game.
It is a polished and improved version of the classic LinCity game.
Within the scope of the GoTM project at happypenguin we have created a new
iso-3D graphics engine, with a completely redone and modern GUI.
A number of switches in the Quake makefile are no longer recognized
by the system compiler in DragonFly (gcc 4.4), e.g. -m486 and
-mpentium. These switches have alternatives such as mtune= that
allows Quake to build on i386-DragonFly, so the existing patches were
updated to used them.
i386-NetBSD-5.99 was verified as well. i386-NetBSD-5.1 remains
broken due to an unrelated X11 header buildlink problem
(Xxf86dga.h vs xf86dga.h)

a shot at making it work on LP64, but there seem to be deeper problems
than the usual sorts of things. Add a comment in the makefile documenting
a case that fails on LP64 but not ILP32. PKGREVISION++.
It is still mode 666, which is wrong (XXX), but this way:
- the package will actually install again;
- the score file is not overwritten every time you recompile/reinstall.
There's also an .if 0 block in the makefile that can be turned on to
install the game setgid so the score file can be mode 664. I'm not
comfortable turning this on without doing at least a basic audit, and
I don't have energy for that at the moment; but it's there and it
works if anyone feels inclined to make that tradeoff locally.
An alternative approach would be to write and install a setgid
scorefile helper program, but that's not really any improvement over
making the scores world writeable
PKGREVISION -> 8.
