4/13 Hey, if you're going to update nethack, update angband, too. You
could also install a variant, like NPPAngband:
http://home.comcast.net/~nppangband
\_ Interesting. Thanks for the pointer.
\_ there's even a competition:
http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/angband_comp/compo.html
\_ Installed angband (there was a ports version) - amckee
\_ NPPAngband is trivial to install. Why not install that too?
\_ Because I was up until 2:30 upgrading Perl and did this
between compiles? MAYBE I'll install it, though. =) amckee
\_ If by 'trivial' you mean 'completely manual', yes it was trivial.
I've installed it as NPPAngband, I did not overwrite angband
\_Oh no! There goes my weekend/life! -scottyg

Hit space to continue:
\_ Unable to replicate with my two user-land accounts,
do you have any stale files around? Anyone else seeing this?
Send email to amckee/root, iff you see this and want it
looked at.
\_ i don't think you quite understand what userland means.
\_ You do realize that, in addition to OS, process, and
object level privileges, root accounts can run in
increased kernel priority levels? Granted, in this case
the problem is most likely to do with file permissions,
it is not an atypical usage of the word 'userland' to
refer to non-root/non-privileged users. Thanks for the
snideness, though.
\_ i still don't think you quite understand what
userland means. try looking it up in, say, the jargon
file. root accounts are not any different from
normal ones in terms of where they run (i.e., they do
not run in the kernel). the kernel will allow you to
do privileges things by being root, yes, but they are
still done by the kernel, not because you as root are
in the kernel mucking around. |

| home.comcast.net/~nppangband -> home.comcast.net/~nppangband/ It is an attempt to take the most popular ideas from the many Angband variants, as well as many of the p opular patches, and bring them into the "vanilla" Angband environment, and rebalance the game to account for these changes. The end goal is to make variant that has an Angband flavor but incorporates many of the i deas and features made popular by other variants. It is an attempt to a nswer the hypothetical question: What would Angband look like if it was more aggressive about taking more ideas from the variants? Moria and Roguelike computer games in general, as well as link s to most of the best sites about Angband. Due to it's cleanly written, extremely easy to understand and modify source code, Angband has over 40 known variants, ranging from minor tweaks to complete overhauls of e very aspect of the game. x * Incorporated Oangband rod/wand stacking (Oangband was created by Bahm an Rabii and Leon Marrick. Future Planned Changes * EYAngband-style spell system, where damage spells have multiple level s that can be cast. |
