    Need link for Context-sensitive help content to convert to text format.

    I'd be willing to work on the Context-sensitive help however the trac ticket ( http://trac.rephial.org/ticket/13 ) link for what needs to be done ( http://ajps.mine.nu/angband/wiki/Help#s1_2 ) isn't working for me.

    Any backup's or an updated link available?

    To be honest there's not that much to it. archive.org has this copy:

    takkaria whispers something about options. -more-

      Ok, thanks.

      Here is my initial plan:

      1. List of all commands, as well as the choices for each. To include new game, character creation, birth options, and gameplay.

      2. List of in game systems like resists, status effects, stealth, visibility, etc. that do not have commands, and explanations for each of those.

      3. List of things that commonly cause player deaths, and some basic hint's at how to avoid those, basic strategy.

      The previous help systems became out of date, as vanilla continues to evolve. I'm wondering if there is a way around this problem.

        Here is a seed start on this. I have other things I need to do and will not be working on it anymore. I hope it helps someone who takes this on in the future. Either by providing a starting point, or showing an example that can be contrasted against to provide a different, better solution.

        # This file contains a work in progress list of context sensitive help entries for Angband

        # context: A statement of the players problem or situation. (e.g. light has gone out)
        # solution: A solution of the solution to the problem or situation. (e.g. You need to refuel your light source, or find another one).
        # todo: bleeding, light, confused, blind, hungry, starving, slow, stunned

        context: Light went out.
        solution: Refuel your light source, or find another one.

        context: You are confused.
        solution: Wait it out, or find an item that cures it.

        context: You are blind.
        solution: Wait it out, or find an item that cures it.

        context: You are hungry. -or- You are starving.
        solution: You need to find something to eat or drink.

        context: You are slow.
        solution: Use a speed item. If you're carrying too much, drop some things or increase your strength.

        context: You are stunned.
        solution: Wait it out, or find an item that cures it.
