MAngband

I seem to remember an orthogonal tiles version of Angband from many years ago. It'd be easier to add that functionality to Mangband than to create a new mangbandlike game from scratch. For graphical addons, I've always liked this http://isoband.cjb.net/ where you may even use the letters/symbols fo...

I started some mapping of the roguelike keys today, it's not nearly complete, but any additional info/corrections appriciated.

Ace about "user names" in the player listing Actually for the sake of privacy this should not be shown.... also imagine if some people have offensive accountnames. Not happened yet, but it might be good to show the hostname only to administrators or not at all. My first thought was this: "Naaaahhh,...

Happy christmas everyone =)

I'm always amazed when someone says they sat in front of shop 7 for an hour waiting for a Heal pot... Heal pots have a base depth of 750' and a secondary depth of 3000'. It seems like it'd be a lot easier, and more fun, to just drop down into the dungeon and FIND Heal pots! In the 750-1000 range it...

Yup, and it's known, I think "they" are working on it.

You can often buy heals in player shops or? How about froming a party with a paladin. Maybe these healing pots are just rare so you ahve to take that into consideration... :) As far as I know, player shops rarely sells heals, due to their usefullness. (I've seen it happen tho, even at prices below ...

I tried changing my username in Windows (it doesn't, however, changed the name of the x:\Documents And Settings\username folder, so probably I did something wrong) changing owner' name in registry, but Mangband still take my "old" username out of somewhere. Changing the name of your user folder in ...

In windows, I'd assume the most simple explanation is:
"user name@computer name"
'User name' is the name you log into windows with
'Computer name' is the name you give your computer in the network settings.

Well, why not just make it impossible to invite people 5 levels above or below the current party-leader? Ofcourse, this poses a "problem" for rescue-parties. But I myself cannot honestly see this as a problem, I have not used a party for my last 20+ rescues. But seeing as items can be given away to ...

I must say that this is a thing I like. Altho, I'd say 12 months is a little too long to wait, but then again, we're not THAT many players. I'd suggest 8-10 months. If I had not played MAngband for 8 months (that's January 1st - August 30th) I'd hardly expect my char to exist, and would probably sta...

The Possessor class is an overpowered joke in ToME, it surely won't be implemented in MAng, unless you're ready to code your own variant ;) I don't think he meant for it to be implemented in MAngband, but rather that someone should make a new variant from Posband. I think it sounds like a cool conc...

That one was actually good (^^,)

What's the point? Random teleportation makes the game unplayable, it would be totally useless... Totally useless to any lvl 50? Yes. Totally useless to the game? No. I'd say this is an awesome idea, like the rings of teleportation, it will make you think twice before using an item you just found =P...

At the very bottom of the main page (www.mangband.org), there is a link called "Modern Look", if you click that, it'll be back to normal.

What you are seeing is the look of the old mangband.org site. The skin is available for people who like thinking back to "the day" ;-)
