Comp 202

[debo]

Comp 202 is up. It's an Oangband shadow-fairy rogue (Nick's favorite race selection.)

The linked Windows version is not working for me. No game window comes up, no .raw-files are created in the data directory, only sign of having started it that I can see at all is a process in the task manager doing nothing at all.

What about UnAngband?

No UnAngband comp? A new version was just released and there hasn't been a comp for UnAngband since 2013.

@Mitze: Agree. *Forcing* early quests makes for a very different game. Drives me nuts, but certainly different.

Traditionally the name would be Death.

Oops. I forgot. Next comp

Oh, and also it's Shadow Fairy Necromancer that's my favourite. You suck so bad debo. Although Rogue is probably actually winnable in competition time, so I'll let it pass this once.

I specifically said "favorite race!" I was going to pick necromancer but I decided I wanted people to actually play this competition.

Wow. What a lot of compiler warnings. Rather than worry about it not running on Win10, I'm just doing a MinGW build. Easier all around. Also: I hate old-style Makefiles. makefile.src is just so much easier to deal with.

I think you'll find you're wrong

[Pete Mack]

So, problems:
1. It hangs when freshly compiled on Windows. Requires WinXP compatibility mode.
2. Executable shows no debug symbols when compiled -g in gcc. No clue about this.
Hope this works...
Edit: having trouble downloading the save file in Edge. It wants to save it as txt, no idea why. I'll use a different browser.

So, Mana Burn - does it happen automatically, or do I have to do something to activate it?

It's one of the specialties - looking at your character, you took Athletics instead. You get another choice at CL20, if you make it that far

[Pete Mack]

Normally I wouldn't take athletics, focusing on offence and defense instead (darkness, shield bash, mana burn, etc.) But for shadow fairy, CON is just a desperate need. Or does the shadow fairy get darkness specialty innately?

Shadow Fairy's innate thing is no aggravate, you need to take Unlight to get the darkness features. 'O' command shows all the specialty stuff.
