The fix should be made to the file 'move.c' in the routine 'be_trapped' under the 'ARROWTRAP' case in the switch statement (I have included a little context to help you locate the spot): . . . msg("An arrow shoots past you."); item = new_item(sizeof *arrow); arrow = (struct object *) ldata(item); arrow->o_type = WEAPON; arrow->o_which = ARROW; init_weapon(arrow, ARROW); arrow->o_count = 1; arrow->o_pos = hero; /* BUG FIX! This fixes the infamous "arrow bug". */ arrow->o_hplus = arrow->o_dplus = 0; if (rnd(100) < 15) arrow->o_hplus += rnd(3)+1; /* End of BUG FIX! */ fall(item, FALSE); . . . This bug turns the record file into a farce (our top scores were in the hundreds of millions). By the way, what is the "current" version of rogue? 5? 6? 23? Anyone know where I can get source (or 4.1bsd binary) for it? Mike Hibler New Mexico Tech ucbvax!unmvax!nmtvax!mike mike.nmt@rand-relay
