Different behaviour in Drod 4 and 5.

In Beginner's Set 1, Level16, 1N it was possible to solve the room from the N entry with Drod4.

In Drod 5 this is not possible see the two attached pictures.

Best wishes,

adS

What is "Beginner's Set"?

Is the difference that the character is killable in DROD4 but not in DROD5.

When I look in the editor in TSS, the character has Imperative Invulnerable in its scripting.

Is it possible that there is a change made in TSS where invulnerable monsters will still spawn when they start the room under your sword?

In drod 4 the character is invisible.

I'm not sure I understand the issue and what is expected.

When I enter the room from the North in Drod 5 I get

[]

the room is not solvable entering from the North.

Regarding Drod 4 see my next post.

Best wishes,

and now I have an US entering form the North.

I think version 5 should behave like version4.

You want the unintuitive, illogical behaviour, which causes a US here, rather than the fixed version?

The invisibility is another question, I think?

I want compatibility.

It was a bug though. "Invulnerable" doesn't mean "vulnerable on turn 0".

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, I don't think the DROD 4 behavior is the correct one, and I believe this was fixed for DROD 5. I don't think we should revert the fix.
