    Ascband - customized DOS-style 4.2.5 w/ SDL2 front-end compiled for Windows

    Put together a 13.2 MB download of an MSYS2-compiled version of Angband 4.2.5 for Windows, customized with:

    - SDL2 front end
    - DOS-style font and ASCII dungeon graphics
    - Uses Angband's "Original" low-res tiles for most characters and items

    It can be downloaded from https://archive.org/details/ascband and looks like this:


    Huge thanks to the Angband team for their help over the years that made my weird Frankensteining possible; heck I wouldn't even have been able to go back and compile 4.2.5 without backwardsEric happening to mention the Makefile settings currently necessary for it while he was helping me with a DIFFERENT problem I was having. ^ _^
    My source modifications and Windows MSYS2 compiling instructions are available on the archive page as well.

      Updated the download on archive dot org to catch a few accented letters I'd missed in gamedata .txt files, silly me--they printed out a few scrambled vowels in a few of the game's text descriptions, as the DOS-style font doesn't support accent marks.

      A small and purely aesthetic change, but it does make existing saves incompatible, so finish any runthroughs you care about before grabbing the updated archive.
