Neat! Will we be able to summon Cavern critters in the Arena now?

Historically, those were limited by the ARENA_RESTRICTED token, which is relatively easy to mod out. (I haven't tried out 50.07 yet so that's the most I can tell you for now.)

[thvaz]

Sad that we can't control critters in the arena yet, but understandable
Less understandable is the fact that selecting equipments is now worse than before

this is why you deserve love and happiness

Please get d_init actually working in prefs. It resets itself right now whenever you reload the game so any changes you need have to go into d_init_default.
So, fricking annoying whenever an update comes along and deletes all your settings...

[Shonai_Dweller]

Did any files change in vanilla/creatures_graphics/graphics/images?
The folder is marked as updated 02/08 but none of the files appear to have been updated since werebeasts on 12/13.
File-changes doc indicates statue textures changed so presumably something changed?

Mind you it also says Sea Monster was updated and I can't find any updates to that.

I know it's a pain, but, especially with graphics that can't easily be compared, a list of what actually changed in which RAWS would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Is the arena only applicable to the premium version, the classic version doesn't give me the option to select an arena type in classic.

Me too. I think it could be a bug that only affect the Classic version.

[Rose]

Looks like init/arena.txt was not updated by mistake in classic.

Replace the contents with this file to get it to work right: https://pastebin.com/T1U7LEsY

[Toady One]

Fixed the arena.txt in the zip itself now too.

Is there a bug report for this? Bay12 could use more details to help address the issue (e.g. does it apply to all settings or only ones not present in the UI?).

Ah, was probably discussed on Discord before the bug tracker was working then forgotten about. Looks like there wasn't a bug report.
Annoying because I pointed it out on discord to whoever made the pinned post advising people to edit init.txt in prefs to change font size when using ascii. Looks like it's still there...

Will test a bit and make a report.

--edit
OK. Sorry, looks like it's just Init.txt. Anything you add to that (such as a new tileset) will work once then be deleted after exiting the game.
d_init seems OK. prefs/d_init overrides default and I can add that new [CULL_DEAD_UNITS_AT:1000] with a new value and it will remain in place.

[Shonai_Dweller]

What changed with Sea monsters? I cant locate any changes related to that anywhere.

--
Just copied all the graphics files over to my mod and sea monster icons show up now. Not sure why 50.07 files don't show anything updated since 12/13. Luckily not made any changes to the actual graphics (just all the Raw files associated with them).
