Demonspawn

2013-12-12T18:44:13Z

SylarMorgan: /* Strategy */

{{version013}}
{{for monster}}
{{flavour|Demonspawn are horrible half-mortal, half-infernal creatures - the flip side of the Demigods. Demonspawn can be created in any number of ways: magical experiments, breeding, unholy pacts, etc. Although many Demonspawn may initially be indistinguishable from those of pure mortal stock, they will inevitably grow horns, scales or other unusual features. Powerful members of this class of beings also develop a range of unholy abilities, which are listed as mutations.

Demonspawn advance slowly in experience and learn most skills at about the same rate as do Demigods. However, they are a little better at fighting and conjurations and much better at necromancy and invocations. Note that unlike Demigods, they can take on gods, although not all will accept them.}}

==Innate Abilities==
*Demonspawn deal more damage when using demonic weapons ([[Demon trident]], [[Demon whip]], [[Demon blade]]).
*Demonspawn are considered demonic creatures. They cannot worship any of the good gods ([[Zin]], [[Elyvilon]], or [[The Shining One]]), and they have vulnerability to [[holy]] damage.

==Preferred Backgrounds==
*'''Warriors:''' [[Fighter]], [[Gladiator]], [[Monk]], [[Hunter]]
*'''Zealots:''' [[Berserker]], [[Abyssal Knight]], [[Death Knight]]
*'''Warrior-mages:''' [[Skald]], [[Transmuter]], [[Warper]], [[Arcane Marksman]]
*'''Mages:''' [[Wizard]], [[Conjurer]], [[Summoner]], [[Necromancer]], [[Fire Elementalist]], [[Ice Elementalist]], [[Air Elementalist]], [[Earth Elementalist]], [[Venom Mage]]
*'''Adventurers:''' [[Artificer]]

Due to their demonic nature, Demonspawn are prohibited from becoming [[Healer]]s.

==Level Bonuses==
*+1 to a random [[stat]] every 4th level.
*Average [[HP]].
*Average [[MP]].
*+3 magic resistance per level.
*Gain more of your "demonic ancestry" (random [[Demonspawn mutations]]) as you rise in level. The levels this occurs at are randomized, but will include at least five full-ranked mutations by level 27. Some of these mutations are available only to Demonspawn. Unfortunately, gaining mutations you already have through other sources does not cause them to stack; the mutation simply becomes irrevocable and permanent. You may even lose benefits if you already had more than a single rank when the demonic mutation kicks in.

==Starting Skills and Equipment==
Demonspawn begin with the equipment and skills listed for their background, adjusted for their aptitudes.

==Difficulty of Play==

{{Moderate}}

Demonspawn are a moderately difficult race to play because of their lack of specialization, slow leveling, and demonic status. Being demonic, like being undead, makes one vulnerable to holy effects ([[Cleansing Flame]], [[Holy Word]], weapons of [[Holy wrath]]) and unable to worship the three good gods, but it offers none of the guaranteed bonuses of being undead (poison immunity, cold resistance, life protection, torment resistance). Instead, they receive benefits when using demonic equipment (excellent in the late game, but non-existent early on) and get random but potentially awesome demonspawn mutations.

{{species_aptitudes|Demonspawn}}

==Strategy==
*[[Naughty's Demonspawn Conjurer of Vehumet guide]]

==History==
Demonspawn's mutation system was substantially overhauled in [[0.7]]. Prior to that version, they mutated in a generally more random fashion: mutations were only grouped into low power and high power, and Demonspawn would receive six total mutations (two low, four high power). The mutation lists, which can be found on [http://r1gm.free.fr/Crawl/crawlSS_052_mutations.txt this page], were extremely varied. For instance, "high power" mutations could be absolutely mediocre things such as 1d3 levels of negative energy resistance, or they could be potentially game breaking things such as fast movement or complete torment immunity. In addition, Demonspawn mutations had some dependence on a character's skills and deity. While the old Demonspawn may have had much more powerful mutations available to them, the lack of any coherence to the mutations, or any guarantee of getting useful ones, made them in general a much more difficult race under the old system.

Since the overhaul, Demonspawn have continued to evolve: in [[0.8]], they stopped receiving breath attack mutations. Later versions, particularly [[0.10]], have added a number of new mutations and rebalanced others.

Scrolls of enchant weapon

2013-12-11T21:47:22Z

SylarMorgan: Flavour text? I got this

{{version013}}
{{item-noicon
|itemtype=Scroll
|name=Scroll of enchant weapon I, II, III
|appearance=different
|cost=55
|weight=2.0
}}

{{flavour|This scroll places an enchantment upon the wielded weapon, making it more accurate in combat. It becomes increasingly less likely to succeed when used on highly enchanted weapons, and can only ever enchant them up to +9. Magical artefacts cannot be enchanted at all.

----

"To drift with every passion till my soul

Is a stringed lute on which all winds can play,

Is it for this that I have given away

Mine ancient wisdom, and austere control?

Methinks my life is a twice-written scroll

Scrawled over on some boyish holiday."

-Oscar Wilde, ''Helas''. 1881.}}

Reading any of the '''scrolls of enchant weapon''' will attempt to permanently enchant your currently wielded weapon to be more effective in combat, and will uncurse it if it is [[cursed]]. The enchantment effect of these scrolls will sometimes fail if the wielded weapon is already enchanted above +3, and will always fail if the weapon is enchanted to +9 or if you're currently wielding an [[artefact]] weapon, a [[magical staff]], a [[rod]], a [[deck]], a non-combat item, or [[Unarmed Combat|nothing]] (you can't enchant your fists). Successful enchantment will be reported as the weapon glowing, with different effects and colors for each of the three varieties:
*'''Enchant Weapon I''': Glows green, increases accuracy by up to +1.
*'''Enchant Weapon II''': Glows red, increases damage by up to +1.
*'''Enchant Weapon III''': Glows yellow, increases damage ''and'' accuracy by up to +1d2

The message you receive upon reading depends upon the following:

{{crawlquote|On Success: ''Your [weapon] glows [color] for a moment.''<br>On Failure: ''Your [weapon] very briefly gains a [color] sheen.''<br>Used to uncurse an artefact: ''Your [weapon] glows silver for a moment.}}

The chance of any given scroll successfully enchanting your weapon can be seen below:

{| class="prettytable" style="border:none; margin:0; padding:0;"
! Current Enchantment || -5 to +3|| +4 ||+5|| +6|| +7|| +8 ||+9
|-
| EW I or II: Chance of +1 || 100% || 56% || 44% || 33% || 22% || 11% || 0%
|-
| EW III: Chance of +1 || 50% || 52% || 46% || 38% ||28% || 15% || 0%
|-
| EW III: Chance of +2 || 50% || 15% || 10% || 5% || 2% || 0% || 0%
|}

Raising your weapon's damage enchantment level also improves its ability to resist [[corrosion]] - the higher the enchantment, the better its ability to resist, reaching 100% immunity at +5. Bear in mind that your weapon's ''accuracy'' enchantment level has no effect on corrosion.

Regardless of success or failure, reading a scroll of enchant weapon will identify it, though each of the three types must be identified individually.

==Strategy==
*Although it's tempting to save these scrolls up until you find the perfect weapon, you shouldn't be too stingy with them. A general good practice is to enchant whatever weapon you're currently using up to +4, only going past that for the weapon you intend to use for the rest of the game. This avoids wasting too many scrolls on weapons you'll eventually toss without crippling your ability to survive early on.
*Some [[treasure trove]]s require you give them a weapon with a certain enchantment level to gain access. While these weapons may occur naturally, it's often easier to find an appropriate weapon and enchant it yourself. Usually, if you save the majority of your scrolls for an endgame-quality weapon, you'll know whether or not you're dealing with a weapon-demanding trove by the time you want to use your scrolls. The contents of a trove are usually worth the investment, though this is by no means guaranteed.
*Using these scrolls to uncurse your weapon is extremely wasteful, as [[scrolls of remove curse]] are common and can uncurse multiple items at once. Do so only as a last resort.

Ring of wizardry

SylarMorgan:

{{item
|itemtype = Jewellery
|name = Ring of wizardry
|cost = 220
|weight = 1.0
}}

{{flavour|This ring increases the ability of its wearer to use magical spells.}}

Like a [[Magical staff|staff of wizardry]], the '''ring of wizardry''' improves [[spell success]] rates and spell power. This item auto-ids if you have some skill in [[spellcasting]] as of version [[0.8.0]].

==Tips & Tricks==

Wearing a second ring of wizardry would confer roughly 20% of the effect of the first ring (assuming you weren't also wielding the [[staff of wizardry]]). Thus, wearing the second ring is probably only worthwhile in situations where you are monitoring the success of a specific, high-level spell.

Ring of Wizardry can make spellcasting practical while subject to spellcasting penalties from other sources, such as heavier [[body armour]] or [[Blade Hands]].

==Playing online==

There are several servers that host DCSS online, allowing you to play either by ssh/telnet or through webtiles.

There are three main benefits to this, especially if you join the IRC Chatroom.

* Other people can watch you play live, and page you with messages and advice (the often ignored "hit _" that shows up...
* Even if you repeatedly play [[Fire Elementalist]]s, you'll encounter a more fun and diverse bunch of player ghosts to run away from and beat up on.
* You can request replays (on termcast.org) of any milestone or death you know how to look up. It's great for reviewing where you went wrong, or reliving hilarious moments.

Windows - To properly play online in Windows, you're going to have to download a program called [[PuTTY]]. There is already a great thorough guide to connect to CAO [http://crawl.akrasiac.org/docs/ssh_guide.txt here].

If you find yourself lagging, don't forget to enable SSH compression! Don't forget to set NetHack mode to ensure your keyboard works properly (very important for disabling traps)! Note well that this effectively changes what the keypad types, '''meaning the numrow will produce a different password than the keypad''' (for logging in to play once connected to CAO). One thing that guide doesn't mention is that you can "Disable Application keypad mode" under Terminal->Features. This allows you to use +-=/ to cycle targets. There's currently no working fix for allowing the numpad 5 to long rest. The only current method to perform a long rest online is by pressing numROW five.

A lot of people like to change their character sets to produce more 'solid' walls, and portals/shops that no longer look like wands/staves. All you need to do this is add the following line to your options "char_set = IBM" and change putty's character set to CP437 under Window->Translation->Received data assumed to be in which character set.

On Gnome and KDE desktops, and other terminals supporting UTF-8, you can use "char_set = unicode" to enable it, resulting in nicer graphics.

You may also want to configure your terminal color palette to match the "official one" of the tiles version.
The colors to set are:
<pre>
VColour( 0, 0, 0), // BLACK
VColour( 0, 82, 255), // BLUE
VColour(100, 185, 70), // GREEN
VColour( 0, 180, 180), // CYAN
VColour(255, 48, 0), // RED
VColour(238, 92, 238), // MAGENTA
VColour(165, 91, 0), // BROWN
VColour(162, 162, 162), // LIGHTGREY
VColour( 82, 82, 82), // DARKGREY
VColour( 82, 102, 255), // LIGHTBLUE
VColour( 82, 255, 82), // LIGHTGREEN
VColour( 82, 255, 255), // LIGHTCYAN
VColour(255, 82, 82), // LIGHTRED
VColour(255, 82, 255), // LIGHTMAGENTA
VColour(255, 255, 82), // YELLOW
VColour(255, 255, 255) // WHITE
</pre>

For PUTTY:
<pre>
RGB( 0, 0, 0), // ANSI BLACK
RGB( 0, 82, 255), // ANSI BLUE
RGB(100, 185, 70), // ANSI GREEN
RGB( 0, 180, 180), // ANSI CYAN
RGB(255, 48, 0), // ANSI RED
RGB(238, 92, 238), // ANSI MAGENTA
RGB(165, 91, 0), // ANSI YELLOW
RGB(162, 162, 162), // ANSI WHITE
RGB( 82, 82, 82), // ANSI BLACK BOLD
RGB( 82, 102, 255), // ANSI BLUE BOLD
RGB( 82, 255, 82), // ANSI GREEN BOLD
RGB( 82, 255, 255), // ANSI CYAN BOLD
RGB(255, 82, 82), // ANSI RED BOLD
RGB(255, 82, 255), // ANSI MAGENTA BOLD
RGB(255, 255, 82), // ANSI YELLOW BOLD
RGB(255, 255, 255) // ANSI WHITE BOLD
</pre>

==CAO==
'''Crawl.Akrasiac.Org''' (CAO for short) is a publicly accessible server running the latest stable ''Crawl'' version ([[Stone Soup]]-branch). It can be accessed Via [[Secure Shell|SSH]] with the Username and password "joshua".

All games played on CAO are recorded, and all game logs are saved. [[Player ghost]]s are automatically pooled and hearsed to all accounts, so you frequently encounter the ghosts of other players.

The IRC bot Henzell reports milestones such as the killing of many uniques, entering new [[dungeon branch]]es, and so forth on the irc channel [[##crawl]].

==CDO==
CDO is a crawl server located in Germany/Europe, crawl.develz.org, telnet port 345 or ssh port 22, ssh-username:crawl, http://crawl.akrasiac.org/cao_key (openssh) or http://crawl.develz.org/cao_key.ppk (putty)
Basic SSH connection to CDO directions for putty: grab the second key mentioned above and putty. On the basic session page, make sure ssh is selected, and put "crawl.develz.org" for the host name (no quotes, of course). The port should default to "22" automatically.

On Connection->data: enter "crawl" into auto-login username
On Connection->ssh: check "enable compression"
On Connection->ssh->Auth: browse for the private key file "cao_key.ppk" that you downloaded to your pc.
Back on Session, type a name in the blank saved sessions field, and hit the save button.

Evil

2013-12-11T18:58:19Z

SylarMorgan: /* Evil places */

'''Evil''' (also "unholy") is a label used to describe immoral deeds, objects, forces, or beings. Evil is usually contrasted with [[good]], which describes things that are beneficial and actively make the world a better place. In ''Dungeon Crawl'', there are many sources of evil.

Note that the game does not shoehorn players into a "good" role. Your character has free will and may make use of evil items, magic, or gods as you please, or be completely indifferent to issues of good or evil altogether.

== Evil monsters ==
These monsters are invariably evil, and many gods award [[piety]] for destroying them.

* All [[demon]]s.
* All [[undead]].

These monsters take damage from [[holy wrath]] branded weapons and [[Holy Word]].

Many hostile spellcasters (especially [[unique monster|uniques]]) are considered evil in the eyes of the good gods, but do not necessarily take additional damage from the holy wrath brand. They are vulnerable to effects such as [[cleansing flame]], however.

== Evil species ==
The following player species are undead or demonic themselves, and often have some inborn motive to prey on other intelligent beings. Note that playing one of these does not mean you automatically ''have'' to traffic in evil (perform evil deeds, worship an evil god, etc). Nonetheless, characters of these species are banned from worshiping good gods, and are vulnerable to evil-smiting effects (such as [[holy wrath]]).

* [[Demonspawn]]
* [[Mummies]]
* [[Vampire]]s
* [[Ghoul]]s

== Evil deeds ==
Good gods will punish followers for perpetrating any of the following acts.

* Knowingly drinking [[potion of blood|blood]].
* [[Necromancy]] magic in any form, ''especially'' the [[Necromutation]] spell.
* Casting certain other "[[List of spells by flag#Unholy|unholy]]" spells: [[Call Imp]], [[Summon Demon]], [[Demonic Horde]], [[Malign Gateway]], [[Summon Greater Demon]], and [[Summon Horrible Things]].
* [[Cannibalism]].
* Harming or killing non-hostile creatures, especially [[holy]] beings. This counts even if an ally does it.
* Intentionally harming your allies.
* Knowingly using evil or unholy items (below).

In addition, each good god has their own ideas of what constitutes evil behavior.

* [[Zin]] disapproves of followers becoming [[mutation|mutated]], [[glowing]], casting [[List of spells by flag#Chaotic|chaotic]] spells (most [[transmutations]] and a few [[summonings|summoning]] spells), or eating the flesh of any sentient being (not just cannibalizing your own species).
* [[The Shining One]] forbids dishonorable fighting - using [[poison]] in any form or attacking (non-evil) foes who are fleeing, unable to see you, paralysed, sleeping, confused, or otherwise "helpless".
* [[Elyvilon]] punishes followers who harm living creatures while [[praying]].

Luckily, if you follow a good god, the game will prompt you before any forbidden action, asking you if you're ''sure'' you want to do that. This prevents you from accidentally violating your god's commandments (and incurring [[divine retribution]]).

== Evil items ==
These dreaded items were either forged by [[demon]]s or created through the suffering of others, and exist only to bring further misery into the world. Good gods find the use of such items to be offensive and will punish followers for intentionally using them.

* Weapons with [[pain]], [[draining]], [[vampiricism]], and [[distortion]] [[brand]]s
* [[Demon blade]]s, [[demon trident|tridents]], and [[demon whip|whips]]
* [[Wands of draining]]
* [[Scrolls of torment]]
* [[Staff of death]]
* [[Rod of Demonology]]
* [[Bottled efreet]]
* [[Sceptre of Asmodeus]]
* [[Staff of Dispater]]
* [[Sword of Cerebov]]
* [[Scythe of Curses]]
* [[Sword of Zonguldrok]]
* [[Sceptre of Torment]]
* [[Lantern of shadows]]

== Evil gods ==
These gods are malevolent and require constant killing and blood sacrifices to gain their favour. They often rule over [[demon|demonic]] or [[undead]] beings, as well. Good goods will severely punish worshipers who abandon them for one of these gods.

* [[Lugonu]], the chaos god of [[the Abyss]].
* [[Beogh]], the bloodthirsty god of [[orc]]s.
* [[Kikubaaqudgha]], a terrible demon-god of Necromancy.
* [[Yredelemnul]], god of death and the undead.
* [[Makhleb]], the chaos god of bloodshed and destruction.

== Evil places ==
Otherworldly [[branches|realms]] of evil, home to demons or the undead. Visiting these places is not an evil act in and of itself, but you are certain to encounter much evil here.

* [[The Vestibule of Hell]]
** [[Cocytus]]
** [[Gehenna]]
** [[Tartarus]]
** [[The Iron City of Dis]]
* [[Pandemonium]]
* [[The Abyss]]
* [[The Crypt]]
** [[The Tomb]]
* [[Ossuary]]

== Ambiguity in the Crawl notion of 'Evil' ==
Although the good gods in Crawl are portrayed as adhering invariably to moral absolutes, to the extent that even the unwitting use by the player's character of items tagged 'evil' is cause for divine punishment, there is a certain degree of ambiguity in the notion of evil in Stone Soup. Consider that the ordinary practice of an adventurer is to kill and in many cases eat an entire dungeon full of living beings, many of them sapient. In other words, a player can expect, even in low-rune runs, to perform actions constitutive of genocide. Devotion to one of the good gods hardly alters this. It would not be unusual for a favored worshipper of The Shining One, for example, an ostensibly “good” god who frowns on indiscriminate slaughter, to nevertheless kill all, and eat many, of the elves, orcs and nagas in the entire dungeon.

It is unclear what if anything the various societies of dungeon denizens, who, judging by the absence of intra-monster violence within the dungeon, are wholly peaceful, have done to deserve this horrific retribution. On the face of it, the adventurer is simply seeking the Orb. Since “evil”-aligned adventurers act in essentially the same way that “good” ones do in pursuit of this goal, it is unlikely that the finding of this orb is a sufficiently good act in itself to justify the avalanche of butchery.

In the final analysis, it seems that Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup is the story of a peaceful, multi-cultural and multi-species society falling victim to a single adventurer's avarice and quest for glory. By the time the worshiper of Zin has waded through the rivers of blood he must spill in order to claim the Orb, it is more than a little difficult to distinguish him from a devotee of Makhleb.

Against the background of the game's overarching narrative, namely murder, cannibalism, genocide and theft on an industrial scale introduced to utopia, the Necromantic spell “Regeneration”, a spell anathematised as “evil” by the “good” gods, hardly compares.

| Game Mechanics Pages
| Creating a more comprehensible and comprehensive collection of pages on fundamental game concepts. Started with [[Movement]], now progressing to [[Actions]]. Ideally, this project will lead to a series of macro-level pages that provide a portal to more detailed pages (e.g. [[Spellcasting]] should introduce all the topics, but link to [[Spells]], [[Spell Schools]], [[spell power]], [[Spell hunger]], [[Spell success]], [[Damage type]], etc.)
| Jk, more contributors appreciated.
| In progress
|-
| ''Racial & background attributes''
| Add racial [[stats]] to each [[species]] page and stat modifiers to each [[background]] page. Note that the tables on the stats and [[class attribute modifiers]] pages are badly out of date and should be updated first.

|-
| ''Renames''
| Change the link of everything that has been renamed: for instance [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Dragon armour]] and [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Potion of healing]] -- the pages listed there should have their links changed to [[Fire dragon armour]] and [[Potion of curing]]. This is optional, as there are redirects from the old terms, but it would be nice if the wiki used up-to-date terminology on all pages.

| [[User:Seriser6]]
| Done - most of this was already done, I only had to flavour up a few wands
|-
| ''Splitsville''
| Split all items on the [[evocable items]] page onto their own pages, leave behind overviews and links to the individual pages.
| [[User:MoogleDan]], though help is welcome
| Started
|-
| ''Practical magic resistance''
| Add a chart of what the bell curve for random2(100) + random2(101) is to the [[MR]] page. The scale would be spell power minus MR, with the low bound being -100 (0% success); midpoint -1 (I think?) (50% success); and high bound 100 (100% success). Could just be a table of values in increments of 10, not a graph, though the latter would be fancy.

| ''Merge portal pages''
| [[Portal]] and [[Dungeon_branches#Miscellaneous_Portals]] overlap heavily; merge any useful info from the branches page into the specialized portal page.

| ''Add spell info''
| Peruse the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhvL_CFCw7ajdEZ5Q3JoOS1tdUxta1NaWTZ1MVNqbXc#gid=6 DCSS spell lab] -- click on the "Spells" tab -- to add basic stats about spells to our spell pages. Especially damage figures.

| ''[[Resistances]]''
| Edit the [[resistances]] page to broaden it to mention monster resistances. Currently it is totally player-centric.

|-
| ''Import info''
| Go through [http://crawl.akrasiac.org/learndb.html Henzell's learndb] and copy any useful info to appropriate pages (or create new ones).
| vacant
| not started
|-
| ''Resistible enchantments''
| Create a list of things (spells, wands, scrolls, etc.) that are resisted by monster [[magic resistance]]. Give the formula for how effective a given amount of resistance is vs. each thing so you know when to give up on using that wand of confusion & suchlike.
| vacant; may need some [[source diving]] skills
| not started
|-
| ''Merge candidates''
| Consolidate [[Multizap]] and [[The Multizapper's Handbook]]. Unnecessary to have two pages on the same basic subject, even if one is more technical and the other more strategic.
| vacant
| probably done?
|-
| ''A template in every pot''
| Make sure all [[:Category:Spells]] are using [[Template:Spell]], all [[:Category:Items]] are using [[Template:Item]].
| vacant
| Checked the spells, didn't get to the items
|-
| ''Establish new version update procedures''
| We need some sort of routine in place -- at the very least, a checklist -- to follow when a new version is released, so we can keep the wiki up-to-date. This should include rerunning our autogeneration scripts and uploading the results. Potentially tricky, since the scripts may need updating from version to version and people don't hang around for years. So we need a plan of succession for our script maintainers/guru(s).
| vacant

|-
| ''Update spell table pages''
| [[List of spells/parse-spl-data]] was used to generate the following pages:
* [[List of spells]]
* [[List of spells by level]]
* [[List of spells by school]]
* [[List of spells by flag]]
* [[List of spells by book]]
We could try extending it to update all our spell-related pages, including individual spells and spell books.

|-
| ''Outdated spell table pages''
| [[List of attack spells and beams by maximum damage]] and [[Table of attack spells and beams by maximum range]] need updating. Maybe Neil's script can be extended to redo them.
| vacant
| not started
|-
| ''Fill in spell damages''
| Someone needs to do some source diving to fill in what the damage, duration, etc. are for several different spells: [[Tornado]], [[Ice Storm]], [[Fire Storm]], [[Freezing Cloud]], etc. We could potentially grab some of this from [[List of attack spells and beams by maximum damage]], provided the figures haven't changed too radically.
| vacant
| not started
|-
| ''Merge community, community portal pages''
| [[Community]] and [[CrawlWiki:Community Portal]] pages have overlapping purpose. Merge community to community portal and update the [[CrawlWiki|main page]] to reflect the updated community page and its content.
| vacant
| not started
|-
| ''Review categories''
| Rename any obtuse or long names, merge duplicates
| [[User:Flun | Flun]]
| DONE! There is still some stuff to do with the categories (i.e. placing categories into appropriate parent categories, but that will be for another time)
|-
| ''Fix some redundancies''
| Consolidate redundant/out-of-date tables & info in [[stats]], [[species attributes]], and [[player]]. Current stats can be found in http://git.develz.org/?p=crawl.git;a=blob;f=crawl-ref/source/ng-setup.cc -- bearing in mind that you must add 2 to all those figures. Also note that that page is from [[trunk]]; MD has been removed and Op is in.

== Past Projects ==
{|class="prettytable"
! Project !! Goal !! Status
|-
| ''A template in every book''
| Create a [[Template:Spellbook]] and convert all [[:Category:book|spellbook pages]] to use it, for ease of maintenance and consistency of styling.
| {{Done}}
|-
| 0.11 Update Project
| See [[Current_projects/0.11_update_project]]
| {{Done}}
|-
| ''Update info on monster pages''
| The monster stats were extracted from the source and uploaded in bulk a couple of years ago. Update the extracting script ([[User:Wideshanks/monsterparse.rb]]) to handle changes to the source; expand its functionality as much as possible to include stuff like what spells monsters have (and how much damage they do) and to reflect resistances not in mon-data.h (like negative energy, torment, confusion, etc.). Also figure out way to automate upload of new data to the wiki.

The source code of the program we are currently using can be found [https://gitorious.org/crawl-wiki-monster-bot/crawl-wiki-monster-bot here]. Based on the same program used by the IRC bots.
| {{Done}}
|-
| Monster Group Pages
| Create separate pages for a monster, the group of monsters, and if needed, the player race. For example, see [[Spriggan (monster)]], [[List of spriggans]], and [[Spriggan]]. In the list page, make sure to add the [[:Category:Lists of monsters]] at the bottom. We should also add reference links to the list page to every monster on that list. For example, [[Spriggan (monster)]] has a link to [[List of spriggans]], we should do it for [[Spriggan druid]] etc... Other pages that need to be done included [[Merfolk]], [[Gnoll]], [[Deep elf]].
| {{Done}}
|-
| ''What was that?''
| Update [[spell noise]] with the info on [[Talk:spell noise]]. Optional: add detailed spell noise info to individual spell pages (via an expanded [[Template:Spell]]?).
| {{Done}}
|-
| 0.10 Update Project
| See [[Current_projects/0.10_update_project]]
| {{Done}}
|-
| ''Expand attack flavour''
| [[Attack flavour]] needs filling in.
| Done.
|-
| ''Attack types''
| Do some source diving to figure out what all the different [[attack type]]s do (sting, butt, shoot, etc.). See http://crawl.chaosforge.org/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=Attack+type&namespace=10 for a list of the wiki's attack type templates.
| Done.
|-
| ''Armour time-to-wear''
| All body armour takes AC+1 turns to wear or remove; see [[Armour#Wear_and_remove_times]]. Add the weartime parameter to all armour templates.
| Done.
|-
| ''Monster zapper''
| Add the formula for what spell power monsters get when they use wands to the [[wand]] page. Old formula was "30 + 2d([[hit dice]]). The part over 40 is halved (a power of 80 thus becomes a power of 60). Final power is capped at 70." Is it still correct?
| Done; current formula seems to be 30+[[hit dice]], although it's not clear what value is used for most enchantments.
|-
| ''0.9.2''
| Add info about the [[0.9.2]] release to the wiki. See [http://git.develz.org/?p=crawl.git;a=blob;f=crawl-ref/docs/changelog.txt;h=b3cef7b43014f705443ce9d636bfadd6302a3b78;hb=33895e9a0446bc438a5dec2b39a335824ce23bf6].
| Done.
|-
| ''Merge [[megabat]] and [[bat]]''
| [[Template:Monster]] is a complication here; the uploader of all our current tiles changed it to ignore the "tile" parameter and instead automatically use pagename. The monster page updates, below, should clear the way for fixing the tile parameter.
| Done.
|-
| '' Fix size templates ''
| Move the templates in [[:Category:Size]] to [[:Category:Size templates]]. Also edit these templates so that they add the category "Foo monsters" instead of just "Foo" to the page. For example, Template:big will categorize monster pages with this flag to "Big monsters" instead of just "Big". Finally, verify the old category (i.e. [[:Category:Big]]) to see if there are any monsters that were not using the template and fix them.
| Done!
|-
| ''Add flavour to pages''
| See [[:Category:Articles_Without_Flavour]]
| Done.
|-
| ''Crawl graphics''
| Upload Dungeon Crawl's graphical tiles and place them in the relevant articles.
| Done.
|-
| ''Style guide''
| Create a style guide.
| Done.
|-
| ''Redirect messages''
| Redirect all in-game messages to appropriate articles.
| Not completed / Do we want to do this?
|-
| ''Crawl documents''
| Create pages for all Dungeon Crawl documents.
| Finished for Stone Soup, original Crawl versions are needed.
|-
| ''Source code''
| Upload wikified source code for all major versions.
| Hell no, that's what the git repository is for.
|-
| ''Items''
| Represent every Dungeon Crawl item with its own article, including an infobox.
| Done.
|-
| ''0.7.0''
| Create articles on 0.7.0's new features.
| Done.
|-
| ''Categories''
| Separate categories and articles.
| Done.
|-
| ''Crawl versions''
| Create an article for every version of Crawl.
| Finished for Stone Soup, original Crawl versions are needed.
