Anyway, on level 2 I fell into a shop, where someone (OK, me, but under a different name) had emptied it and then got killed, leaving a ghost. I killed the ghost, picked up some of its treasure, and then dropped my leather armor. The message I got was: You dropped a +0 leather armor. onbill: paid obj on bill? Does this mean anything? Can it be useful when playing an honest (i.e. not -D) game? While we're on the topic of strange messages, I recently got a message that went something like "Strange, this level is not as I remember it, this game is void". The game ended, and when the score was printed, it said "tricked at level xx". The bones_xx file for that level was not deleted. Deleting it cured the problem. Does this simply mean that the bones_xx file had become corrupted? The above refers to hack 1.0.2 Thanks, -- Kriton (princeton!tilt!kyrimis)
