.....and with better UI.

On that note, what I am currently working on for NPP is getting the FAAngband-style mouse support working with NPP (which is currently aligned with the Angband 3.1.2v2 base code). When I am done it will go up on github as a single commit,which would probably be a good start for a ui-enhancing patch for Vanilla if the V devteam is interested. Isn't there already a ticket for FAAngband mouse support for vanilla?

Lots of them: #115, #183, #425, #618 ... it's been a goal for a long time, so I'm sure a patch which makes it easier to incorporate your/Nick's work would be much appreciated. ISTR Nick has updated to the 3.2.0 codebase - unfortunately there were some more input layer changes in 3.3, but nothing major since then.

glad 2 see another 3.12v2 fanatic in this thread,

the game is getting better in good ways ok, and it is great work, but nn2 think uve solved all the games problems and then change it afterward 2 suite that~ aka regain stat on lvl up.

personally , i rofl at this new mechanic, its ez 2 abuse and also more tedious than potion, even if they r not at store, why not just hav both?

other examples i could giv but dnt think needing, please try 2 understand the point of this thread and not hijack it 4 ur own glory

Nick and I have traded a couple messages about it. He had to remove most of his mouse support to get FAAngband working with the 3.2.0 codebase, & he hasn't yet added it back in. I am converting the mouse support from the last FA version that had it working, so he might be taking a look at that NPP commit as well.

My commit probably won't resemble a working patch for Vanilla because the 3.1.2v2 codebase is so different than the current one, but it should be a relatively simple cut-and-paste job with minimal de-bugging as long as buttons.c hasn't changed much.

Ah, well that's good news - button.c has had only three new lines since 2008, so things are looking good.

:::checks github::: Yep, I noticed the same issue, and wrote practically the exact same 3 lines of code to fix it. So we should be OK.

please, keep on topic

[Derakon]

Just give it up, dude. Topics go where they want to, and you have about as much control over them as anyone else does (i.e. very little).

[dos350]

rofl did u make that pic urself?, anyway ok i can see that people want 2 cry and rage its ok, topic is open 4 discussion if neone is serious ~~~

[Derakon]

Sadly no, I didn't make it. I thought of the idea, then thought "Somebody's already made this", and Google Image Search proved me right.

[Timo Pietilä]

i see it getting better in some ways, but worse in others,

also i see people crying 2 make it worse, which i think is entirely inappropriate~

Do yourself a favor and learn to distinguish harder from worse.

[dos350]

rofl timo, in my opinion the game isnt harder than it was when i started, in 3.12v2

i played that version more than 3.2 and 3.3 combined id say, and that is alot.

the game has infact become easier imo, for some following reasons:

stat restore/ lvl = easy 2 abuse, aka drain urself.
negative (-x, -x) isnt around anymore on magic items, or its very rare, so ez 2 get item.
lvl feelings now show everytime, even if u scum terribly on the stairs

and much more, so tell me? are u angband devs not blinded by ur work?

So stop complaining every time someone suggest a change that would make game harder.

[nppangband]

Try Angband 2.8.3. That version went unchanged for years. If you can live without mouse support it offers plenty of entertainment and challenge.

[dos350]

i dont complain at change that make game harder, only change that game worse, more annoying 2 play etc
