Net Angband: alpha testing

[d_m]

Has anyone been playing NetAngband lately. It's been unbearably lagging and sometimes hangs completely for me. It seems to be since the recent update. Is anyone else having similar problems?

Huh, that sucks.

The connection it's on was getting saturated during the day (eastern time) but just got upgraded from 3MB/s (two T-1s) to 10MB/s (fiber) last Thursday. I would have hoped these issues would have disappeared then (we are no longer saturating that pipe).

I haven't noticed that server having serious lag at any real times (although admittedly I am not the best test case). If you could note the date and time of one of these episodes that might help, although I'm not sure how much I can do (my server is hosted at work... other than point out network problems I don't have a lot of authority to fiddle with things).

I've been playing a reasonably successful character using NetAngband. Last night I got overconfident and dies as usual. Is there any way that I can get the character dump (I made one on the death screen)?

I really like NetAngband, somehow the slow pace (due to the delays) made me more careful, and the opportunity to access the game from anywhere is great.

Hi!

I have been meaning to build a better interface to NetAngband, including a way to download dumps and also a way to do a one-time export of a character from NetAngband to a savefile (in case someone wants to start playing locally). But I haven't had a ton of time... the usual story.

If you give me the username you've been using I can email you the dump. My email address is my username at plastic-idolatry dot com.

Hi,

It seems Net Angband has been down for a while, it is intenional? As I mentioned earlier I like the concept so I would like to see it up again, but when it is down my productivity at work has a better chance to be high, so...

I hadn't had time to work on it much and I didn't think anyone was playing it so I took it down.

It's back up now. Have fun!

[thapper]

Thanks! But if I'm the only one playing then feel free to take it down as you need.

I play occasionally, although I get confused playing more than one character at once...

The colors really throw me off too.
