Patching Nethack under Windows...
|
| |
Ok, this is killing me. Here's what I have: 1) A fresh copy of the Nethack source code. 2) The Visual Studio 2008 patch file from nethack.org. 3) A copy of patch.exe from the DJGPP FTP site. (patch version 2.5.9 or something like that). In excruciating detail, how do I apply the patch? I've basically tried this: patch -pX < VisualStudio2008patch.txt... more »

Latest Updates
|
| |
So changes aren't really going to come as frequently as before, but I've been able to steal a little bit of time. NAO is now running 0.6.2 of Sporkhack again, after the dgamelaunch update, and the beta server is still chugging along nicely, with over 18,500 games played as of today (and 155 ascensions!).... more »

You caitiff! How dare you defend yourself
|
| |
so I'm playing a knight. I was confronted by a deadly dwarf zombie. I applied my lance a couple of times and then it moved in too close. So I switched to Excalibur and when I attacked it this time I was told "You caitiff!" What happened here and what am I doing wrong?

YAAD/Death ray
|
| |
Well... Leprechaun with a wand of death. Single shot. At 20K turns, while playing really carefully for my second attempt on UnNethack (first one was a YASD I'm not really proud about). I went down till medusa, done sokoban, mines and town (this branch is... strange). No source of reflection or anything else that would prevent it.... more »

Pet disintegrator ascension [UNNH]
|
| |
After all the whining I did about disintegrators, I decided to get one on my side. Its now in the pantheon of best pets ever, and no doubt causing quite a stir in the demigod bar. I rolled some gnome wizards on un.nethack.nu with the goal of polytrap dancing, so a magic whistle was paramount. Lots of shops, good... more »

patch messing up the message window
|
| |
Hi, I've been patching nethack under Windows. I've succesfully installed 4 of them, but 2 others (itemcat and trapsontop) give me some trouble. The patch applies succesfully and compilation works fine. But when I start nethackw.exe, the message window is blank, and every single message pops up a message box. Also, with itemcat, activating a... more »

YASD on the vibrating square level
|
| |
I am completely devastated, I just made horrible mistake. My neutral human Archeologist after three weeks of real-time finally reached vibrating square level fully kitted, AC -35, 219 HP, XP 21, after many excruciating hours of mapping and digging out Gehennom. What I did to kill myself was digging a pit on VS level crawling out... more »

Applications for a drum of earthquake?
|
| |
In my current game, in Kaen's lair, there was a drum of earthquake. I think I've posted this question some time (it feels like a decade) ago, but don't recall that there was any useful application of the drum of earthquake mentioned. The best I've thought of was to keep monsters at distance, maybe to attack them ranged. Another option... more »
