Unofficial Sil rewrite

[Nick]

Speaking of compiling, not a big deal but I tried using Makefile.std to compile at first, that didn't work so I went the autotools route.

Yes, getting Makefile.std working is another thing I need to do.

Nick,

I've temporarily given up trying to compile on Windows and cloned NarSil onto a Linux distrubution. Opening as a project in Eclipse, the "Build All" menu option gave me a minimal executable, no mx11 or windows.

Does the repository contain all the files needed to build other Linux versions, and cross compile the Windows executable, or do you have more on your computer?

It should all be in the repository.

Bug: Throwing



Posting this here because I can't properly convey this with just text; this is the result of throwing a spear and hitting a monster using just a direction for targetting, instead of using * for a precise target. It's hard to see, but notice that the message line has a bunch of weird, non-ASCII characters.

it's up on angband live

Lost opportunity for Nick's Angband-Rewrite of Sil (narsil).

Need a polite applause smiley, that's real good.

I was looking for a staff of Self Knowledge to test something, apparently you've decided to change the action to a potion. I hope the potions are less rare than the staves

Actually, I just wrote "Potion" because I'm used to that being a thing from Angband, I actually meant staff.

[*]Potions of Self Knowledge (seriously, 1200 lines of code for one potion??)

Actually I think I'm going to have to use that. But let's call it New Angband Rewrite.

I think I'm going with Sil-u (for unofficial Sil).

Artefacts - it looks as though the artefact.txt file isn't being read correctly

Creating an artefact spoiler file gives a zero length file and a crash

all artefacts I've seen show 0d0 for damage
artefact bows show 0 squares range
appears as if the accuracy value is really the number of dice

This should all be fixed in the latest build.

If you give this variant a name I'll stick it on angband.live. I assume it supports the customiseable subwindow layouts so it'll need its own entry rather than being a version of Sil.

slays, brands, and such appear to be correct
descriptions, both before and after identifying, look correct

You might follow Quirk's example and call it Sil-N
