Next competition

Hellband compo, anyone? Gwarl?

[Estie]

Thanks !

replaced
equip:sword:Main Gauche:1:1:none
with
equipolearm:Lance:1:1:none

and checked starting gear option. It worked!

[wobbly]

If it is still in the cards, I have a randart set with a good lance. The starting money of a gnome paladin is 3 gold short of being able to buy a lance; how an ironman gnome can survive with nothing but a lance (and a food ration which is in the inventory despite starting money option), I dont know.

You can pretty much start the character with anything. Starting gear is set in class.txt and starting gold in constants.txt

You can trade stats for gold. Nevertheless, ironman hobbit with lance is an unlikely challenge.

There we go - Hengband competition. Now nobody has to make a new one for another 3 weeks.

This is like a game of chicken.

Alternatively we could have a composband comp

https://github.com/MichaelCourtney/composband/releases/tag/v7.1.3

for the windows binary. You might have to play around with the font setting if it looks blurry.

Also Gwarl, it'd be easier to compile if the relevant files weren't called frogcomposband.rc and frogcomposband.res

[clouded]

Nice try Nick, but Gwarl is a slippery fellow.

[Gwarl]

Here's a counter-offer;

I'm going away soon for a few weeks, and I want to wait for wobbly to make a windows build without rushing him; so I'll set up a hengband competition in the meantime and we'll pick the next competition based on whether we we have a windows build for composband or an angband release.

Composband 7.1.3 Dark Elf Hexblade

So here's a plan:

1. You put up a Compsband comp (you should still have access to the competition page, I assume) whenever you're ready;
2. While that's running, I'll get V4.2.4 out and we can have a comp for that next.

[wobbly]

I can build for windows if its not in the next few days and I'm allowed to be lazy about it.

[Gwarl]

To be perfectly fair I don't mind if we choose something else while there's no windows build.

Now that Composband 7.1.3 has been released, make the next compo Composband related
