There was an issue with the server not properly compiling due to _GNU_SOURCE function strcasestr().
This has been corrected, if you were affected just download the 4.7.0a source again.

  • Brass Lanterns can be /empty'ed too.
  • Added new Maia subclass 'Hell Knight': Alias for Corrupted Paladin with a distinct skill set, a demonic fighter. Also added new skill set for Corrupted Priest, which is now similar to Hell Knights.
  • Added new magic school: Occult 'Hereticism', available to Hell Knights, Corrupted Priests and Adventurers (any race, but note that 'Blood Sacrifice' spell to turn yourself into a Bloodthirster will only be available to Hell Knights and Corrupted Priests). Use /sac command to check Blood Sacrifice availability. If you aren't sure what a Bloodthirster looks like, here you can see one (on the receiving end..) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKHsj5y8UL8

  • Lesser Black Reaver and Black Reaver now cast 1_IN_2 (was 1_IN_3) and had one of their two UN_BONUS attacks changed to UN_POWER, thereby providing unpower-resistance as mimic form (also see (5.12a)).
  • Having an open mind will prevent the normal saving throw against psi or confusion attacks. (Being a mindcrafter oneself will still provide extra protection.)
  • Aura of Fear gives fear resistance at 20.000.

  • Quarterstaff of Olorin has been renamed/modified to Three Piece Rod 'Ruyi Bang'.
  • New artifacts added: Club 'Smasher', Sling 'Lamfada'.
  • Mimicry: 'previous form' used is now saved/loaded, so macros changing back and forth will work across relogging.
  • Dual-wielding a NEVER_BLOW weapon ('of Nothingness') and a normal weapon will still allow attacking (with the normal weapon).
  • Blindness reduces hit chance for melee and greatly for ranged combat.
  • Some mimic powers that mainly apply adverse status effects no longer trigger fire-till-kill repetition.

  • Various serpents and nagas had water resistance added.
  • New command added: /applaud.
  • Running around in a form that has erratical movement will no longer place you into terrain that prevents running nor change the worldmap sector accidentally.
  • Switching targets in ranged combat will cost a tax of 1 shot per round, if the player actually has at least 3 shots per round, same as for melee target-switching when the player has 3 blows/round or more.
  • The One Ring is now easier to activate. But still hard if not proficient.
  • Exploding ammo can no longer be created with 'stun' explosion, instead it's just 'force' explosion, which is practically the same.

IDDC:
  • It's possible to pick up loot of deceased team mates.
  • It's no longer possible to steal from a variety of stores that sell equipment. It's much easier now to steal from the remaining stores (supplies, spells/runes).
  • Sauron can be generated on any level starting at depth 99.
  • The Halls of Mandos theme can no longer occur in the IDDC since it doesn't allow any unique monster at all!
  • Pseudo-identification works faster than usual. Scrolls of Identify/Identify Everything/*Identify* drop more often than usual.

  • Auto-pickup/Auto-destroy no longer triggers inside houses.

  • Halls of Mandos can now be alternatively entered by IDDC-only characters too. Location is auto-known to IDDC characters if the Halls were already discovered on this server.
  • Death Fate: Design extended, special stuff happens. Deaths are like in Training Tower (no 'true' death aka no title loss or turning into a ghost), combined with the additional random inventory damage from 'normal' deaths, all equipment is safe though.
  • NO_TELE dungeon flag implies NO_MAGIC flag to prevent wraithform and probability travel too.
  • Tele-To will never move the player onto a CAVE_ICKY grid (vault grids mainly).

  • Power-inscribe now also lists spells for Tomes and Handbooks.
  • 'Bash' (B/f) can now be used on an opponent, and won't just cause a normal attack but instead a shield-bash that stuns the target. This is now a fighting technique, must therefore be learnt and costs stamina to perform. As a specialty, shield-bBash can be either performed via bash key (B/f) in which case you can designate direction or target, or via Fighting Technique call (m) in which case it automatically uses your current target.
  • Death Fate dungeon will immediately unstatice (reset) if you leave it.
  • Razor boomerangs can get 'Sharp' ego power.
  • Digging tools can now be wielded as weapons via SHIFT+W (alt wield).

  • /dis i <inscription> command added, can also be used with f/F: Destroy items inscribed exactly <inscription>.
  • Experimental: Hell Knights learn 'Berserk' fighting technique (at 35).
  • Seasons pass at double speed now, so we get all seasonal events twice per real year. Basically all the (winter) events now also happen in the summer.
  • Yellow traps are strictly all inven/equip-affecting traps.
  • Reveal Ways spell has been lowered from level 9 to level 6.
  • Poison (and disease) drains a small percentage of max HP instead of a fixed amount and cannot be healed by Healing potions.

School 'Fire' no longer grants fire immunity. School 'Air' no longer grants poison resistance. School 'Water' no longer grants water immunity.

  • Activation of The One Ring has been buffed somewhat.

  • Thunderstorm spell checked monster presence wrongly, leading to a server crash, this has been fixed.
  • /dress command with a tag specified will now equip the item even if the target equipment slot already contains an item, and allows dual-equipping of wield- and arm- (secondary wield) slots. Use this for dual-wield-equipment macros.
