MAngband

Easy... now all problems concerning houses are resolved on my server.

I'll post more stuff when I finish the next batch of changes... but just a quick post to say my server now has...
*drumroll*
keyless houses!
It works fine... the only problem I face is how to disown houses reset by the DM.

And a new update... Server side: ----------- - special artifact rarities back to vanilla values - stats are rerolled until primary stat = 17, secondary stat >= 16 and third stat >= 15 - random artifacts implemented - auto-id ability implemented - gloves can give extra mana capacity - starting stuff ...

To keep you informed, here's my progress on the stuff I have already implemented (basic 0.7 client is still sufficient to connect to my server, though you would miss all the client changes with that basic client): Server side: ----------- - special artifact rarities back to vanilla values - stats ar...

Ok.. the idea is to start a new variant based on latest MAngband 0.7.3 and add some features to make it less "boring". I'll start from Jug's source code which will allow classic/ironman servers to be compiled. Currently, the vanilla client is enough to connect to those types of servers, but since I ...

Have you ever considered adding the following?
1) 90 day timer on inactive characters
2) artifacts can't be dropped in houses
This would solve the problem, no?

Never failed a 1% fail spell 10 times in a row? Happened to me once...

Something even funnier (which cannot happen on regular Mangband, but on TomeNET it can): inscribe autocursing gear (amulets of DOOM for example) with {!=} (autopickup). Instant laugh...

Did I mention that cells like that have monsters that are 80 levels out of depth in TomeNET?  So basically under 1k you can get anything...  ;)

That's not scary at all... well for Mangband maybe. In TomeNET, I've encountered a cell like that at 800ft with Ungoliant, Tiamat, a GB, a black reaver and Cantoras. After the death of a few low/mid/high level chars, we asked a King to discard all those (and at 800ft he almost died to the fastness o...

Of course it's possible... SHRIEK does that, and even haste the baddies  :)

Didn't see anyone play on the Ironman server for days...
On the ladder, one can witness a lot of characters that have been started, played 5 mins and then abandonned forever. It's sad...  :'(

BTW, this only seems to occur on the ironman server. I tried to reproduce the bug on other servers but couldn't.
Probably related to the modifications Jug made.

Are you using WinXP? Each time I reinstall a Mang/TomeNET client with WinXP I get the same problem... which is easily fixed by rebooting my computer.

More testing reveals of course that the 'spare' cash can be used to buy endless amounts of items from the BM... that can be duplicated like the rest. Imagine getting endless amounts of stat pots, xp pots, weapons, armor parts... then connect a 'real' character and harvest the cheezed (at this point ...
