what is the earliest version of angband that the you can upload to the ladder?

[Malak Darkhunter]

The earliest version of angband i have seen on the ladder is 2.8.2 does the ladder support 2.7.8 or earlier? And if it does is there a different way you have to dump character?

[pav]

There is one 2.8.1 dump on the Ladder, and there is also one frog-knows dump there, but I believe it was hand-edited first to get accepted by the app.

There is one 2.8.1 dump on the Ladder, and there is also one frog-knows dump there, but I believe it was hand-edited first to get accepted by the app.

2.7.8 has a (F) to file dump option on character screen, and dumps a text document in your agband directory, but the ladder app dosent recognize it as a chardump.

[pav]

Does it contain the bracketed header with version number? You may have to add a fake one.

Or send it to me by email.

[Malak Darkhunter]

it dosen't have the bracketed header, but it is a character dump without version number, it lists everything down to home inventory. It looks like this.

Add a header by hand and it will work.

[Malak Darkhunter]

ok how do I do that exactly?
I Added [Angband 2.7.8 Character Dump] to the top of the page but didn't work any ideas?

[pav]

To the top of the ... dump?

Should work. Have to work.

[Malak Darkhunter]

I opened then saved it in notepad, could that make a difference?

[pav]

notepad might kill... Well jokes aside, send it my way, I'll double check it. angband@oook.cz

[Malak Darkhunter]

okay sent the text document to you at angband.oook.cz maybe you can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

[pav]

That dump works for me, although some fields needed some adjustments.

You should be able to post it onto Ladder as is now.

[Malak Darkhunter]

It tried to work for me it read, but kept saying unknown variant, webmaster notified and didn't post to the ladder.

[pav]

Beats me. Should work. Try again please.

[pav]

Your fake header is no good. You need to put in

[Angband 2.7.8 Character Dump]

instead of just

[Angband 2.7.8]

. Interestingly, the file you sent me by email had the correct header.
