Underdark roguelike

[Zireael]

Some of you might remember my failed attempt to make an Underdark RL based on Angband.

Well, let me tell you the idea isn't abandoned and is in fact plugging along as a T-Engine 1.0.4 module.

Check out the git and put the contents of the zip in the modules folder.

As a huge R. A. Salvatore fan, let me tell you how excited this makes me.

[Zireael]

There have been 3 beta releases and the link has changed.

It is now https://github.com/Zireael07/The-Veins-of-the-Earth

[Zireael]

The Veins of the Earth now have a page at ModDB: http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-veins-of-the-earth.

The version available from the ModDB is slightly newer than the one on ToME page.

Also:
I've been rolling out some small improvements over the past few days (mostly to do with the colors and with character generator).

I've also coded some new content (ecl, log display, achievements, random name generator, item identification), however, the code seems to be buggy.
Seb's almost done bugfixing the multiclassing code, however.

[Zireael]

A standalone beta 2 release is now available.

[Zireael]

We've reached beta 2.5. You can grab it from GitHub or from ModDB.

[Zireael]

We're at beta 3.6 "Half-ogre with a spiked chain".

[Zireael]

We're at beta 4.3 "A thing of beauty".

The highlights? TILES. And containers.

[Zireael]

A new version is out, just in time for T-Engine modules contest.

You can grab it from te4.org or from GitHub

[Zireael]

Some hotfixes were made in time with the 1.1.0 release.

[Zireael]

I'm back to coding, fixed some things already.
Actor generator is now better-behaved, no more golems at dlvl 1 and some other fixes.

[Zireael]

Lots of bugfixes and improvements made in the last week. I also managed to cross out a big thing from the checklist:

http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-veins-of-the-earth/images/monster-info-screen

Yeah, it's Sil-style XP for seeing monsters!

[Zireael]

I've made a new version, nicknamed "Can't see me"
Grab it from modDB

EDIT: Moderators, could I get the thread title changed to "Veins of the Earth"?

[Zireael]

The bleeding edge builds can now handle character saving & loading. This is gonna make testing much easier!

[Zireael]

P.S. T-Engine still not giving me md5, reported the issue to DarkGod as Grey has had the same with his 7drl, DataQueen.
P.P.S. A lot of this wouldn't happen without access to Incursion source code, which gave me ideas on how to implement some stuff.
