Creating Angband 3.2.1 in ten easy steps

Given the path that starts with C:, he's presumably on Windows.

Oh. Right. Wonder how I missed that...

I looked at that file, but didn't see anything overly obvious.
Assuming it skips '#' comment lines and blank lines, line #57 would be:
S:0x68:0x84:0x9A ??

I don't think that it skips any lines when counting. Count every line.
Simply commenting out that line will get you past the error, until it's fixed.

Ok - is this pref file not critical to the program then?

No, not critical. It defines what graphics appear on screen. The worst that might happen is that whatever particular 'thing' that the line refers to will be displayed as ACSII.

My guess is that is that the 'thing' it refers to no longer exists, so no harm (probably).

Any idea how I am getting this or how to get rid of it?

I think this is where I am getting my color errors from:
Parse error in C:\games\angband\angband-r9a0d219cc4\lib\pref\graf-xxx.prf line 57 column 5: : invalid value -more-

I looked at that file, but didn't see anything overly obvious.

S:0x68:0x84:0x9A ??

It'll be this block:

Code:

GF:CHAOS | DISENCHANT | MISSILE:0:0x84:0x94
GF:CHAOS | DISENCHANT | MISSILE:135:0x84:0x97
GF:CHAOS | DISENCHANT | MISSILE:45:0x84:0x96
GF:CHAOS | DISENCHANT | MISSILE:90:0x84:0x95
GF:CHAOS | DISENCHANT | MISSILE:static:0x85:0x91

IIRC, magnate changed DISENCHANT TO DISEN at some point recently, so that'll be where it's choking, and it'll be the same in the other graf-blah.prf files too.

ok - need to be careful with global replaces, but, I think I got it.

>> Is it possible he also changed CONFUSION to CONF ?

Thanks.

Ooops, sorry. I could have sworn I grepped for all instances of DISENCHANT, but I obviously forgot lib/pref/. Fixed in staging (and CONFUSION as well) - it'll be in the next nightly.

I cannot guess it:

I've tried,
GF:CONFUSE:0:0x84:0x98
GF:CONFUSE:135:0x84:0x9B
GF:CONFUSE:45:0x84:0x9A
GF:CONFUSE:90:0x84:0x99
GF:CONFUSE:static:0x85:0x95

GF:CONF:0:0x84:0x98
GF:CONF:135:0x84:0x9B
GF:CONF:45:0x84:0x9A
GF:CONF:90:0x84:0x99
GF:CONF:static:0x85:0x95

I haven't figured it out yet....

Please enlighten me. I think this will get my Old Tiles color scheme working again...

Sorry, it's CONFU. We now have consistency with LITE/LIGHT but not yet with CONF/CONFU.

Ok, that's fixed! Now, how do I get the "None" part of Graphics options to work the way it did?

If I copy the perf directory contents from the old 3.2.0 perf/ directory into the new nightly perf/ directory and re-edit the graph-xxx files, ... am I asking for trouble?

I want my '#' & '#' walls back..

And, yes, my yellow-lamp area lights are back, visual areas are different color again.. happy-happy except for the wall graphics.

Sorry, can't help you there. I think d_m is the man to answer that question.

OK, you can't just copy old pref files over, the new ones have a different format. Using the nightlies, you'll have to comment out these lines in font.prf to get back # walls:

Code:

?:[EQU $SYS win]
%:font-win.prf

Great - thank you for the explanation.
