8 | skipped with 4-5 inlined instructions). |
|
|
9 | - complete rewrite of town_portal: it now creates a portal |

10 | to the "nearest" town only, travel is only possible |

|
|
21 | bows as weapons. also rebalance the missile weapons skill |
|
|
22 | so its damage increases with level. |
|
|
23 | - rewrite the complete player speed logic: weapon_speed now |
