Cthangband Bugs

You could mail me or go to my home page or the main Cthangband page.

Bugs? Bugs? Who writes programs with bugs? Seriously, this is the list of known bugs in the latest version of Cthangband, and eventually known bugs in some previous versions as well. (There are doubtless more bugs in there, but these are the ones I know of. Let me know if you find bugs not listed here.)

This list was last updated on 2000 November 3.

Cthangband 4.1.0b

The display of the question of which spirit to choose in character generation is ugly and awkward.
It is not possible to spend down to one's last gold in a shop: if one has 12 GP and wants to buy an item worth 12 GP, the shopkeeper will complain that one doesn't have the gold. Workaround: mug some of the townspeople to get a little more cash.
In point-based character generation, it is possible to get a characteristic to start below 3 (try being a Yeek Assassin). In this case, it is possible to raise the stat, and that works properly. However, it is not possible to lower it all the way again to recover the points spent. Workaround: Don't raise a stat at 3 in point-based generation unless you mean it.
Some of the new help files were written in haste, and really need to be rewritten.
The Terror Mask counts as headgear that can be worn without interfering with Mindcrafting, since it affects wisdom. Change to require headgear to raise wisdom, not lower it, to be compatible with Mindcrafting.
Some of the files needed to compile on certain version of Unix are not present.
