    Angband.live add variant request

    Gwarl, kt,

    Please add the Angband variant "Halls of Mist" to Angband.live. Despite the name it is a variant of EyAngbang. It introduces some cool dungeon features (magic circles, a unique take on altars and deities) including platforms that give combat advantages (including cover) and a revamped combat and skill system.

    I've tried before. After some work getting it to compile, it quits on launch without an error message.

      That's too bad. Thanks for the quick response.

        If anyone figures out a way to compile it on linux and run it on a terminal, let me know.

          I would like to see frog-knows or PC-angband, basically the oldest V that you can get to compile on the list.

            I wonder if we could get Z+Angband on the webserver...a known variant of Zangband 2.7.x and it was popular for a while in 2010

            Also - I found a webserver bug: when I play a game and then quit/get killed, the games list duplicates itself repeatedly until I refresh screen with F5/Ctrl-r

            My best try at PosChengband 7.0.0's nightmare-mode on Angband.live:

            If I'm offline I'm probably in the middle of maintaining Gentoo or something-Linux or other.

              I can try to compile and run Halls of Mist if
              anyone can give me link to source. It doesn't show on links tab.

                  Nice. If anyone knows where I can get a copy of the never released Halls of Mist v1.4 (you can see there are dumps for it on the ladder) I'm interested.

                    If you check the usernames, there's only one user who posted v1.4 dumps, so maybe that's the original developer, or someone who modded it and bumped the version number...

                      No, Mikko Lehtinen was the developer, and it looks like he shared a beta with Sage and nikheizen. Mikko was incredibly active while he was around, so I suspect he's just moved on and thrown himself into other projects.

                        The 1.4.0 beta was passed around a bit, I have a copy (it includes some random Sage ttyrecs) https://ufile.io/xga68gqo

                        I may have modified the source code slightly to get it to compile but it was a few years ago so I don't remember, I didn't really play it much.
