Re: Ironman MAngband

All rumours aside...  The Gods will be very upset if anyone casts Earthquake or any other rock destructing spells in anything that even remotely resembles the fabled Dwarven Hall.

Re: Ironman MAngband

Glad you like the ladder Warrior - I'll add sort by depth. "towns" have already been considered Narchan.  It is written: - There are rumours that long ago, a band of hardy Dwarves ventured into the depths of Angband.  They sang as they descended into the gloom and with hammer and axe they fought dee...

Re: Ironman MAngband

In looking for the problem I have found a bug in the new save format, to do with players with spaces in their names (which yours did have).  I think I've fixed this problem now.

I'll download the version of the client you use and test it out tomorrow to make sure I've ironed out all the bugs.

Re: Ironman MAngband

Hi Avenger.  Thanks for reporting the problem.  I've been looking into this. I have checked all the save files on the server, they all work ok in my client.  It is possible that something very subtle is broken on the server, so subtle as to only break certain clients.  It should be pretty straightfo...

Re: Ironman MAngband

Well, the Ironman server is slowly taking shape.  Still not quite ready, but getting there.

For anyone following this thread, the Ironman Online Ladder is online at:

Re: Ironman MAngband

OK, that sounds good.  Until I get around to changing the scoring and disabling resurrection for Ironmen though, I've just disabled ghosts completely.

You die.  You're dead.

You still drop all your stuff, so player killing is a potential survival strategy.

Re: Ironman MAngband

I suppose there should be no player ghosts?  Death is complete?  Or maybe ghosts can only go down?

Re: Ironman MAngband

Thanks Warrior. The Ironman server should certainly stay pretty fresh I guess.  I imagine characters won't last too long, so the whole thing should be pretty fast paced.  The lonely darkness may be punctuated by that deep dark hidden town,  somewhere in the depths, where only the hardiest adventurer...

Re: Ironman MAngband

Well, that's settled then.  Anything that's going to kill Warrior faster and give me more of a chance to beat him has to be good.  Angband 3.0.6 monsters it is. :-p

Thanks for your comments Avenger, I hope I meet you at 6350ft on the Ironman server real soon. :-)

Re: Ironman MAngband

MAngband 0.7.2a monsters or Vanilla Angband 3.0.6 monsters ?

I'm guessing the latest Vanilla monsters make things a bit tougher ?

Re: Character Dumps

I can't believe MAngband isn't even represented over on the angband.oook.cz ladder! Shocking.

Adding character dumps to MAngband is a cracking idea... and if no-one else is working on this, I'm going to make it next on my todo list.

It is ridiculous that such a useless post as this is "sticky". :)

Mangband.org Server Version

Does anyone know why mangband.org runs (or reports it does) version 0.7.0 when the latest version is apparently version 0.7.2a ?
