MAngband

Hi! We've managed to bring back the main server and the meta, but still having some troubles with the legacy (1.4.0) server.

Editing top post to reflect this.

Ever since 1.5.0 was released, our FreeBSD port became outdated.

Thanks to adriandegroot, it's now up-to-date with 1.5.3 and we're back in business.

Maybe I am approaching this from the wrong perspective. How are ports handled between the server and the client. I have both of my servers set to different ports in the mangband.cfg file and I have my router set up to forward packets for the right ports to the right machines. Yet when clients conne...

This guide mostly concerns Android, because we don't really ship iOS binaries. However, if you have a Mac and an iOS device, you can compile it yourself. Such version would only last you 7 days (till next recompile), which is bloody inconvenient, but, well... it's doable. One thing to keep in mind: ...

pwm.tangaria.com is a test server, which I mostly use for development purposes, however, I'll try to keep it up to date with latest PWMAngband, starting with 1.4.0 (because it can run on Linux).

Beware of constant wipes!

This release brings SDL2 client, unhardcoded tilesets, and Android support. Macro menu is slowly becoming more useful too.

Once again, most of the newly reported bugs were fixed.

If you're not afraid of spoilers, read the full changelog.

So, I've stupidly posted a full forum dump on a private Discord channel, then made it public.

Thankfully, those are hashed with salt, so you should last a couple of hours :) But if you care about your forum account, change your password.

Sorry about that :(

Yes, when dropping things on floor, things shall stack first, crush other items/vanish later. I'll take a look at magic books. OK, yeah, our current floor stacking mechanism only allows potions, scrolls, food and ammo. In Angband, everything gets stacked correctly, so this is a horrible bug. Fixed i...

After about 20 years of being in mang codebase, this bug has been resolved (#1303).

Thanks to everyone contributing to the fix and explaining it.

mmmh...I remember in the old versions of MAngband (some years ago) I used keys like "-", "N", "x" and "h", for example... But now these keys interact with macros in other section of the game (like in the shops) or in creating macros (like \em1h with key "h" as macro command). In this case should be...

There is an uninstall option in the Start / Programs / MAngband menu on windows.

You might also want to visit the user pref dir (the one with user-win.prf and others) and delete the pref files you wrote earlier, as those are definitely broken.

Turned out what you experienced was a deadly combination of two bugs (#1288 and #1289) and not the expected behavior :(

Thanks a lot for bringing attention to this.

This has been fixed in 1.5.2 client.

(Moving to bug reports forum)

This release brings mouse support, png tilesets, and a new, newbie-friendly macro editor. You might also encounter some new vaults.

Most of the newly reported bugs (from 1.5.0/1.5.1) were also fixed, along with some long-standing ones.

If you're not afraid of spoilers, read the full changelog.

I'll try to re-trace your steps and see if I find anything.

Could be something fundamentally broken (on the windows build?)

Sorry for not getting to you earlier, and yeah, we aren't a densely populated server :(

UPDATE: Yup, those are bugs, plain and simple, will be fixed in the next version.

SDL is the "Multi-window" client and it expects the macros to be in 'user-sdl.prf'. Apparently, you're using normal Windows clients, so the macros should be in 'user-win.prf'. The file seem to exist on your screenshot, could you try opening it in with something like Wordpad and verify the contents? ...
