Bloody curse patch. This patch is ready to be aplied to Vanilla angband 2.9.5-alpha It adds a new item flag : TR3_BLOODY_CURSE replacing the (I hope) unnused flag : TR3_XXX3 Objects to get this flag should get marked with BLOODY_CURSE at edit/object.txt But only weapons should get this flag. When the player wields an item with this flag he will not be able to wield another weapon (or take this off) till he destroys pval*500 monsters. All ways of destroying monsters (with the possible exception of genocide) count for this curse. This curse can not be removed and gets reactivated if it is taken of and then wielded. Which objects should get this curse is up to the mantainer and users. I would suggest Gurthang (Turin Turambar's sword) to get this flag. TO DO: Wizard mode commands do not know about this flag. The weapons could get thirsty, so the amount of needed kills could increase over time. Luthien josedura@wanadoo.es
