MAngband

Pardon my interruption, but on which site did you hear about this? I always like to know these things, call it an obsession or whatever!  :)

I don't have a lot of time to play. I do administer the boards but significant uninterrupted chunks of time are difficult to come by. (For now.)

[quote author=Ashi link=board=thinktank;num=1185826256;start=0#1 date=08/02/07 at 16:47:53]but then there would be not much stopping them from using their powerz to start adding items and shops and turning the game into a Tome or BMang clone .[/quote] Not that it would necessarily be a bad thing if ...

Hold on, which problem (or both) are we addressing with this tax? 1) The need to have artifacts redistributed and / or 2) The need for high level players to spend large sums of money Regarding the "with arrears" idea, I think the artifact should just simply fade and become the base item. Then the ar...

There are a few items whose prices are really high. Specifically, ego-items with excellent/large bonuses, like RoS, Westies, etc. This creates a large amount of wealth in short order for players who essentially have nothing to spend it on. (See other posts in this forum for ideas to solve that probl...

I have another idea that may create a real reason for higher level players to spend money. What if certain items were not available as drops, but only through a store (or several stores, if multi-towns are implemented) with a medium-size inventory rollover? For example... Restore Mana potions, Enlig...

Morgothian artifacts shouldn't factor into the taxes, because you are guaranteed to get one every time you kill him. Who regularly uses Grond, anyway? When would your artifact/house be reset for welshing on your taxes? When you log in? A few minutes/hours/days afterwards? While you're offline? What ...

What other role playing games do you play, online or offline, electronic or not... and what do they do particularly well? Pick a few that you play often and know well. We may be able to learn from them, and get new ideas for MAngband. Let's not copy their material verbatim, but rather seek inspirati...

Check the relevant BMAngband sources. I did a lot of the work for you already, regarding items and such. Lots of things like resistances, etc. are complete. However my variant didn't completely get the items done. The biggest obstacle to full 3.0.x items is ripping out the existing, outdated object ...

[quote author=karis link=board=GQ;num=1184153327;start=0#4 date=07/12/07 at 02:50:03]Ok. Good to know plasma results in sound damage. Obviously. Just before I run in the next couple of hounds... are there any similar resistances for gravity, force, time and so on?[/quote] Yes, there are! Check out t...

We've been through this enough times, Fink. This is the last. No, I will not idle on the channel. My computer's only on when I'm using it, and I don't care to leave IRC clients open. If anyone needs to talk to me, they have forums and email. Since you're supposedly on there all the time, why not log...

I've been playing the RCs off and on for a few weeks. It's pretty nice with the new menu system and all. I did away with the most useless ports in the current version of my variant, when I put in the new build system. I recommend updating the build system as well. We should copy the new fuel economy...

It's completely impossible to share an IP address with two servers right now. You need to use different network ports and the server is hardcoded to run on the one specific port. I don't recall. Does the metaserver/client support alternate port numbers were they to be implemented server side? I prop...

It works out pretty nicely that feather falling makes gravity attacks less effective, I think. You basically are affected less by gravity due to feather falling. Old wives' tales can be true in this game... We could use a reversed version of the ElementsOfMagic document in the Library. Anyone care t...

Now, is a hadful a metric or local unit? On a more serious note, a web-based archive or front-end to the IRC channel would be ridiculously great to have. Something that bridges the gap between real-time chat and forums. Has anyone seen any software that can do this? If so, please post a link, and so...

Yes, I basically said "Hey that would be really useful" and then did it. Glad you liked it too. :) The DM recall-to-wild feature is mainly so the DM can have a superfortress waaaay out in the wilderness somewhere that's unlikely to be found out, for quest rewards (via the *acquirement* power), etc. ...
