Recording is a new feature that currently only works for the competition mode, so I can figure out the problems it causes (there are several I've identified already). Automatic recording for every game on the site will be another week or two in the making.
There's no facility for changing passwords. What I can do is delete your account, then you'll be able to create it again with all your savegames etc still intact.
The recording/competition mode should now be more stable.
I've acquired and patched a whole lot of new variants, not leat of which is Zangband - I eventually found the requisite fix to make it run on a 64bit system.
All the older variants have had 256 color terminal support patched in from V. Here's the full list:
I should probably stop trying to acquire and compile variants for a while to work on something else but it's rather addictive.
Purple robes for you, then PWMAngband...

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

Is there a way for me to download a savefile directly once I've created a character on angband.live? If so, you've just saved me 80% of the irritation in creating new competitions.
Also, here is a challenge for you: get Animeband and XAngband working. They're by far the best angband variants out there.

My requests were for PWMAngband and ... Rocketband!!!

I can special case it for you, but in general no, I don't want to allow savefile downloads because it encourages savescumming. We'll figure something out toward the end of this competition so you'll have access to a 'competition admin' account.

I'll add them to The List. Of course I still have to add Hellband, CthAngband, CryptBand, Ironband, Quickband, etc etc. X will probably go up around the same time as FuryBand I imagine. There are so many variants!
Rocketband will come sooner rather than later.
PWMAngband is an interesting one but quite difficult because:
a) I don't know how the client/server model works
b) The only installation instructions and only supplied makefile are for windows
I imagine I'll have to get MAngband working first so I can get enough contextual clues to figure out how to set up PWMAngband.

You know, I've been running the competitions for a long time now. We could make the problem simpler for you technically by just having you take over the competitions entirely
The #1 requirement for a competition organizer is that they can build savefiles for many variants, everything else after that is a bonus. (I hadn't played any variants except Vanilla and Sil when I took over from Nick.)
Don't make me start a thread called 'Gwarl for competition organizer'...
