Hm, Are you sure it's lagging, and not the FPS of the game?  Most new players get confused and say the game is lagging because, for example, pressing left 5 times in quick succession doesn't move your @ 5 spaces. This isn't lag, but part of the turn-based attribute of the game.  If you could just ru...

Separating level and exp is pretty easy, in my opinion, but this might be different from the developer's perspective.  I have not taken a look at the internals of the source code, so I don't know how the objects themselves are handled. Level is (i assume) generated using experience and some sort of ...

I am by no means an expert on the subject, but I've compiled it many times.  Hopefully this may be of use to someone.  I've posted on my webserver: http://jerk.wox.org/arfer/mangserv-HOWTO.txt, the forum said my text was too long to put in a message.

I think having an option you can set in mangband.cfg where if you die it goes easier on you in the following ways: 1. normal, half exp is gone, and you level down. 2. easy, half exp is gone, but you KEEP your level. 3. totally cheesy, barely exp loss (or none), and your keep your level. I propose th...

Running a linux mangband server is easy, the only problem you would have is in compiling it.  Other than that, all you have to do is edit the mangband.cfg file, and run mangband (or a script to ensure it is always running in case of crashes). If you are still confused or would like step-by-laborous-...

I uncursed a ring of protection (-10), but when i wear it it still does take -10 off from my AC.

Can cursed items even be worth anything, either in terms of abilities or selling worth?

Also, if I drop it an another player picks it up, is it still uncursed?

Thanks,

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to invite all mangband connoisseurs to #mangband on EFnet, which afaik is the official mangband irc channel.  There aren't many people on now, but the more the merrier!
