ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

So, I'm starting a branch of T2 master (current cpp version) for the complete removal of Alchemists and their craft.

a) They're very unbalanced etc. etc. etc.
b) I'm tired of seeing essences everywhere as a non-Alchemist
c) I would like to do something to reduce the size of the C++ code base, since it still takes ~5 times longer to compile than the pure C version

Hopefully I will have a push request ready by the end of the day... Just a heads up for @AnonymousHero, and anyone else still involved in T2 development. If you have any advice/suggestions feel free to say.

Edit: OMG. cmd7.cc is full of huge alchemy related functions. So much code!

Already done, though I mightn't have pushed it yet.

EDIT: I'm sick at the moment, but I'll see if I can't get it pushed somewhere during the next few days.

Heh, it figures... Thanks, and thanks.

(And hope you feel better soon.)

Good idea (says someone who plays Alchemists more than he should).

Pushed, see the "v2.4" branch on gitlab.

Thanks! I'll take a look.

Edit: so far, so good. No obvious bugs, everything works, and no alchemical junk.

git diff --stat says: 64 files changed, 73 insertions(+), 7301 deletions(-)

... which is nice .

Yeah, I'd say that was a productive endeavor then.
