PRIME (Zap'M variant) updated to v1.5

[Psiweapon]

HAY GUISE.

I have updated Prime to v1.5!

I have added several new monsters, three new professions, and more items as always.
I have also released the 1.5 source.

I'd love some feedback and bug reports 


New monsters:
U: Very high level psycho bitch.
Z: Sometimes friendly, well-armored, CC, the letter comes from the name.
Z: Shoots green stuff, slow, the letter comes from the species.
@: Knights in shining armor.
g: Goes boom. Low-level nasty.
z: low-level, quick, the letter comes from the species, appears in packs.
G: corrupted extraterrestrials
@: crazy marines (watch out for their armor)

You can get it at the homepage http://primetheroguelike.galeon.com/
Or if you're just as lazy as me, here: http://galeon.com/primetheroguelike/PRIMEv15.zip  - it'll show a stupid page, but just go to the address bar, press enter and it'll download alright. I think.

Windoze executable only for now (my apologies u.u), the source for v1 and v1.5 can be found at the homepage.

PRIME tops ZapM with:
-Longer dungeon branches.
-Two more character classes.
-Colored canisters!, with more descriptions.
-More, better equipped monsters.
-More informal identification.
-More items:
  -Cloaks.
  -Plasma weapons.
  -Unarmed weapons.
  -Melee weapons.
  -Armor.
  -A couple more here and there.


And now for the not-so-small print:

ZapM is a game by Cyrus Dolph which you can find at www.zapm.org for the super price of 0 buckazoids.

KNOWN ISSUES:
Occasional canister without description   -Fix'd in v1.2  
Scrambled non-randomly generated monsters!!   -1.4 released because of this

Sooo... updated to v1.5, bumping

New monsters:
U: Very high level psycho bitch.

Isn't green U already reserved for Unix mail daemons?

[Psiweapon]

I think that's *bright* green... let me check.

Yes, Daemons are U, U, U, and U, but the green one (mail daemon) is kGreen, that monster in the list is kDarkGreen. In-game, I think there's only one "green" color for formatting text here. Also the creature type for daemons is kProgram, which is why I used the U for that monster.

1.5 version don't works for me:
MSVCR90D.dll and MSVCm90D.dll not found.
Perhaps you should compile it in Release mode (Or I should instal MSVS20xx redistributables).

[Psiweapon]

Yes, I actually uploaded some debug mode execs...  I didn't notice, I suck so much.

I thought I had already put a release mode exec for 1.5... I've just compiled and uploaded the current version, let me know if it works.

I have to go to uni rite nao!!! >_<

[kipar]

Current version works fine.

[Psiweapon]

Wow, thanks for trying it let me know any impressions, good or bad!

It'll be great to see flavoured descriptions and\or numerical characteristics of items in-game (perhaps only after using floppy of ID-ing on them). Maybe it is against spirit of original game, but...
What is better - phaser or blaster (also zap gun vs laser pistol)? What exactly chameleon suit do - monsters sleep longer or they can lose your track? Have cape of superheroes any bonuses? Is that gun heavy or light?
I know I can look into sources or ask in forum, but it will be better if I can get this information from the game.
