Alpha v0.3

October 6, 2026

Changed

  • Two hands for two-handers. Axes, bardiches, halberds, spears, staves, war hammers, bows and crossbows take both hands, as in 1998, and stow a carried shield. Hatchets, war axes, cleavers and the short maces stay one-handed.
  • Bandages take a target. Double-click a bandage for a target cursor: yourself, your companion, or another player within reach.
  • Drop where you let go. You told us Anything dragged out of your pack lands on the tile you release it on (within two tiles), or the nearest clear spot. A piece dragged off the paperdoll lands on the ground.
  • "How many?" Dragging a stack of scrolls asks how many to move. Food and recall scrolls can be set down.
  • Scrolls into the spellbook. Lay a spell scroll on your open spellbook, or on the paperdoll's BOOKS button, and it binds in as a page.
  • The O key. O opens one book at a time: the spellbook, then the book of abilities, then closed.

Fixed

  • Death ends a criminal flag. You told us Dying clears the flag, and guards leave a risen body alone for 60 seconds. A porter flagged at the Drift's gate was being cut down again on every rise.
  • The bank's OK button. The amount prompt at the bank takes your click again; it had been sitting under the bank window.
  • The paperdoll's WAR button. It toggles war mode again.
  • Double-clicking worn armour. No longer takes the piece off. Weapons and tools keep their double-click use.
  • A new Blacksmith's bandages. A fresh Blacksmith starts with ten bandages again.
