Experimental webserver

[HugoVirtuoso]

Bug: Going back a webpage (i.e. Alt + left directional key) does nothing and I stay on the same page...I was trying to go back to the screen where I can then choose to spectate someone else or choose to play a game.

AND there should be a way to record playthroughs (i.e. internal webserver keypress recording) on the Angband.live webserver!!!

You don't actually navigate to a different page when you spectate, the HTML on the page just changes. So you reload the page to get back to the menu.

There should be weblinks on the page to allow players/spectators to easily direct themselves back to the initial page. I know this is probably redundant. But, this makes the interface more user friendly...especially when we try to get newcomers to the Angband.oook.cz community!!!!

Ok, finally, I'm logged in. But when I use the arrow keys to move, the @ runs rather than moving one square. I try to take stairs, but @ keeps running past them. Do I need to set movement delays or something?

Dumb idea, but perhaps the problem lies in your keyboard repeat rate?

[Gwarl]

No it's a side effect of the shiftrunning hack.

I honestly didn't think people played with the four arrow keys but perhaps I was wrong. I'm going to keep the shiftrunning setup as the default, but I'll put a set of keymaps in the common pref folder for normal arrow key movement.

I'll have to start documenting these somewhere.

EDIT: Never mind, apparently the trademark subtext doesn't work here.

Mac laptop doesn't have a number keypad. Just the regular numbers at the top of the keyboard. If I remember, most laptops don't have a number pad. Arrows are what I've used for movement for Angband pretty much forever. And shift-arrow to run, but that doesn't work on the server. Not yet anyways!

Arrows don't generally come in 8 directions. If you aren't using diagonals, you're using suboptimal tactics.

by setting the movement delay to 10ms and hitting two arrow keys pretty much simultaneously, the @ moves diagonally and with only 1 turncount for the move, same as a diagonal number key. Since laptops don't come with a keypad, but the arrow keys are grouped together in the lower right of my macbook pro laptop, it works quite ergonomically for me.

After fixing some of the crashes that were happening before the server has broken out in newer worse crashes. Apologies to anyone losing progress. Trying to figure out why it's happening.

Yeah, I noticed it was crashing a lot. It also sent me back to @ creation when I logged off and came back, so I don't know how to save the game. No problem, though. A new nightly was published, so I have to go play test that anyway.

[Gwarl]

I think I've got it under control now. Socket timeouts will happen while spectating for now but the chat and the game window should be okay.

In particular I think this should mean that the savefile duplication thing shouldn't happen anymore.

[Gwarl]

Note: pressing ctrl+s in angband will cause the game to freeze. This is not a crash - pressing ctrl+q will resume output. It's surprisingly difficult to disable this behaviour, but until I do, if your muscle memory leads you to ctrl+s, ctrl+q rescues your game.

Edit: fixed!

Apparently if you put raw(); right underneath the initscr() call in main-gcu.c you are no longer bothered by control sequences.

So aside from bug fixing, I also managed to modify Sil to work on the server.
