Neo Angband: Quality of Life v1.5.0

Added

  • VisibleUI You can now choose a cloud-backup folder from the Escape Game menu. Successful saves update an importable backup in that folder when the host supports folder picking (#165).

  • VisibleAccessibility Repeated-action shortcuts can bind one unused key to conditional rest and cardinal runs. The original keyset maps the offered runs to the game’s existing run command, while the roguelike keyset keeps its already-single-key shifted directions. Existing shortcuts are never overwritten (#151). Reported by misha_cilantro.

  • VisibleUI First-encounter alerts show a small card the first time this character meets a monster type or picks up an artifact. The card names the monster or artifact and its native depth, and a monster’s card adds a threat badge - Unique, Deadly, Out of depth, or First sighting - so an out-of-depth wanderer or a unique stands out instead of scrolling past unnoticed. The card is non-modal: it never takes a keypress or a click meant for the game, and it clears itself after a few seconds or its own close button. Tracked per character, so a new character sees every card again (#56). Reported by Wozar on r/angband.
