First thing I noticed...the essenses do not show on the equip item page or the item page. you can equip them but they have no names, and no graphic.

They should.
Did you install the whole package? If you only installed the executable and not the libraries, that will happen.

The whole shebang...the only thing I kept aside from my old saves is the ini files and preferences (user and pref folders)

To clarify, its not that the essenses dont have names at all...the names just dont show up on the equip and item screens.
the item list looks thus:
a) a book of something 3.0lbs b) 4 rations of food 4.0lbs c) 0.1lbs d) a Tortoise Shell Ring 0.2lbs
where c) is the offending item. Clearly it is there, it can be equipped, dropped picked up etc but doesnt show its name...Oh and the 'N' n option doesnt work...Can't rename it.

That may be the problem. There's actually new definitions in the user directory, in the font-xxx.prf file.

Oh and did I misread the section in the monsters improvement thread where you said Monsters would be able to learn spells?

Ok so that was indeed the fix...I copied over the files to the user directory and all is well...however the reason why this happened is that I do not like having to reset all my preferences again. Im hoping this wont be a problem.

Oh and did I misread the section in the monsters improvement thread where you said Monsters would be able to learn spells? You probably did. They don't learn regular spells. What I probably said was that you can place AP in a monster's spell or attack. On the abilities screen, press 'v', and you'll see that you can place AP in your monster's spells. Also, you can activate essences to cast their spells, if any.

I found one of the new vaults and in it was a Pike that is purely one-handed. Is that an intentional aspect of the artifact?
If you have confirmation of picking items up on and move onto a square with both gems and an item then when it asks you if you want to pick up the item it'll show the name of the gems.

It wasn't really itentional, but I just checked and it doesn't have the "MUST2H" flag. So it's not really a bug.
Well, technically, gems ARE items, they are defined in k_info. There's probably somewhere in the code where it doesn't check whether the item is gold or not.

Your character will automatically pick up gold items even when the confirmation option is on. The bug is it uses the name of the gold item when asking if you want to pick up the equipment item.

Odd I never play with that option on (the confirm pickup or auto pickup) so I haven't encountered this bug. Generally speaking I like to choose what to pick up manually because you can quickly become loaded down with less than useful stuff if you auto-pick up items or even do it with the prompt. (You don't get the option to look at them or id them first.)

It seems the artifacts that dont sell bug is still around. This time I am unable to sell the Amulet of Golden Truth (useless to a monster with no equip slots).

The resistance display screen in 'C' seems buggy. It does not accurately display your basic resists combined with items worn if you are a monster.

*shakes an angry fist at the --More-- prompt.*
This "feature" has single handedly cost me more lives than any Other Mob in the game. Please add an option to get rid of it. I do not even read the items posted there, instead opting to read the Ctrl-P messages page.
=edit=
An explanation of the current complaint: I am doing the temple portion of the quest (for the nth time) and I have 2billion soldiers ineptly slashing at orc warriors, none of which do anything except growl and look hurt. I have to hit the escape button/space button to clear 100000000000x --More-- prompts before moving each space and I can't dismiss my friends. Who are no longer pets thanks to me reporting an exploit with other "pets". So I cant just area effect remove the offending orc warriors but have to slowly inch my way towards them all the while fighting the molasses in winter effect of the --More-- prompt.
