hi all
i hope this is the right place to post this.
i play angband on more than one device - my home PC and my laptop. i have have angband saved on google drive and run it from there and that works fine. i have google drive installed on those two devices and load it up from windows explorer. so far, so good.
a little while ago i started to play on my work laptop because i am occasionally away from my home devices. i am unable to install google drive on my work device (because work rules) so i copied the entire angband directory structure onto my laptop drive. whenever i play on my work laptop, i copy the save file from my google drive (using my browser) to my work laptop drive and fire the game up. when i have finished playing, i copy the save file back from my laptop drive to my google drive (once again using the browser). so far, so good.
after playing like this for a while i noticed that the unique monster list when playing on my work laptop was different to the one when playing off google drive. i have now realised that the monster knowledge info is not saved to the save file, but rather to lore.txt (i think).
is there a way to merge the two lore.txt files into one so that i can get my complete monster info? i looked for a while in the github and just got overwhelmed. i noticed there is a line in lore.txt for each monster - counts:93:0:1:0:127:0:0 (for example), which i think might have something to do with it... but it is beyond my skill to know how to merge these.
i very much would like my moster knowledge to be complete. if i can merge them then i can copy the lore.txt file as well when i play on my work laptop.
thanks in advance.
