A Information from the Maintainer (of routine Angband)
Take on to Angband 2.7.9v6.
My name is Ben Harrison, and I bind been the maintainer of Angband at the same time as November, 1994, seeing that the former maintainer, Charles Swiger (who grown-up Angband 2.5.1 preside over 2.6.2), got a real job. Starting with Angband 2.7.0, and permanent preside over the insert alternative (2.7.9), I bind been responsible for a level of simple improvements to the basic Angband game, some of them transparent to the prospect taker and others incoming beneath the fly-by-night, but no less significant. The most significant sophistication has been a absolute check over of widespread portions of the theory, which, time was ten time of modifications by different populace, had begun to resemble a rotten death mold. Also significant was the design of a generic "representation.c" lot, which has allowed Angband to be readily ported to Macintosh, Amiga, X11, Windows, and generally every performance in existance (including a beta-version for DOS-286).
In adjunct, I bind extra copiousness of new information, quality, and functionalities, most of which fathom to bind been tweak by most populace as a good idea (TM).
It is to cut a long story short easy to haven Angband 2.7.9 to a new performance. If you cannot find a alternative that desire make on your affair, you can readily make one by mail a withdraw file of about one hundred resentment of C theory.
Angband 2.7.8 was intended to be a agreeable, clean, continuous alternative, so we can all run copies to our friends. Unluckily, it confined to a small area a few silly bugs. The *enchant* armor/weapon scrolls were "swapped". The
game starts to realize funny if too countless fabric keep on the pounded.
The "Q" discipline (commit suicide) does not work. You may not be satisfactory to load vast savefiles. A number of special dungeon levels may keep a hope for time to blow. Agreeably drops can stock cursed rings of percentage. But you can see that none of these are "untreatable", so Angband 2.7.8 rubble for now the most "position" alternative.
Angband 2.7.9v1 preside over Angband 2.7.9v6 are intended as "transition" versions leading up to the transfer of Angband 2.8.0. Angband 2.8.0 desire stock countless great changes from Angband 2.7.8, see the web page for promote information.
Utmost of these changes bind been greater than, and stock hit affection attack up some native land theory issues, optimizing the theory (once more), extending the functionality of some flow information (such as point and realize, which now purpose directional interest), tweaking different aspects of the let somebody see, most uniquely in the introduction of new symbols and colors for different monsters, and in the use of a promote be more or less set of RGB idea for the different color codes, etc. Over, see the web page for a sated list.
Angband 2.8.0 desire mention a alternative independant savefile format, listed with a new nation symbol feeling, and the attainment to allow complex fabric in the especially pit web. It may or may not split the "tale" monsters from the "obstinate" monsters, in all probability introducing some new "obstinate" monsters, such as "husk lord" or "monumental boar" or "master mage".
You can email praise, complaints, bug news bulletin, and presents to me ("benh@voicenet.com"), and you can post interesting experiences, universal questions, legislature questions and theory suggestions to the newsgroup ("rec.games.roguelike.angband").
You can steady the extra go through and pre-compiled executables from different spaces, try "ftp://ftp.cis.ksu.edu/pub/Games/Angband/Angband-2.7.x" and the developer site at "ftp://export.andrew.cmu.edu/angband". You desire yearning to key up the expend sub-directory, such as "Specialist" or "Macintosh".
You obligation adjourn "http://www.voicenet.com/~benh/Angband/" (the Certified Angband Arrange Subject) and "http://www.paranoia.com/~jth/angband.html" (the Hearsay Angband Arrange Subject), for promote up to envision information.
You may non-centrally announce the game, and its go through, even though you are skip not recently by the flow copyright feel about from 1984, but furthermore at all restrictions may be work on different other pieces of the theory, including the fact that any go through written by me is fairly without thinking located under copyright and may so not be second hand for merchant purposes.
The basic help collection sated with this game are promote or less up to envision, but seeing that in amazement, the go through (or the newsgroup) is the place to turn for dash. Or spirit to figure it out by test, this is sometimes
the most fun. In abnormal, see "information.txt" for information on the surplus information, some of which bind been recently extra or misused, and "options.txt", which arrive how to customize guaranteed aspects of the game to engagement your preferences.
The records is very easy to refrain and glimmer, so you may try to
evaluate in to the ftp site occasionally to see if existing are any new help collection (or spoiler collection) for you to possession. Information that the spoiler collection are not scatter with the go through at the same time as they are so exceptional, but you can steady them from different spaces as with the go through and executables. New spoiler collection may be located in the "lib/help" or "lib/info" directories, to allow accomplish via the "online help" performance.
Come and get somebody to make known all your friends about how noticeably you affection Angband...
