Is this a mistake in CVS source? In char.cpp at the bottom: Code void character::Slow() { doforbodyparts()(this, &bodypart::Slow); doforequipments()(this, &item::Slow); BeginTemporaryState(HASTE, 500 + RAND() % 1000); } When Slow() is called, it will slow equipments and bodyparts, but activate Haste as a temporary state. Should it instead be: Code void character::Slow() { doforbodyparts()(this, &bodypart::Slow); doforequipments()(this, &item::Slow); BeginTemporaryState(SLOW, 500 + RAND() % 1000); } ? Either an elder dark mage, or should be able to verify that this is a bug, when they cast "slow" on the player.

Is this a mistake in CVS source?

In char.cpp at the bottom:

Code



void character::Slow()

{

  doforbodyparts()(this, &bodypart::Slow);

  doforequipments()(this, &item::Slow);

  BeginTemporaryState(HASTE, 500 + RAND() % 1000);

}

When Slow() is called, it will slow equipments and bodyparts, but activate Haste as a temporary state. Should it instead be:

Code



void character::Slow()

{

  doforbodyparts()(this, &bodypart::Slow);

  doforequipments()(this, &item::Slow);

  BeginTemporaryState(SLOW, 500 + RAND() % 1000);

}

?

Either an elder dark mage, or

should be able to verify that this is a bug, when they cast "slow" on the player.

Knowing the twisty twists and uncommented code of IVAN, this might as well be a deliberate feature (maybe so that slows don't stack their effect, or something?). But yeah, gotta change 'haste' to 'slow' and do the testing.

Well I assume that a bolt has a given, numeric, amouunt of perwer. (assi in enegri)... unless it's LAERSER SKISKLS POEWN PEWN!

Looks to me like that's the bug that causes wands of slow to haste targets instead.

That's funny. Wands of slow behave differently in 0.50 to the wands of slow in CVS.

The devs may have been testing something.

Whatever their intentions were, it's a well known bug that wands of slow in CVS haste things instead.

I like to think the bugs are semi-intentional. There's another one in confdef.h: Code #define ANTITODE_LIQUID (LIQUID_ID + 9) Should read Code #define ANTIDOTE_LIQUID (LIQUID_ID + 9) Antitoad... maybe it's a pun?
