Borg does not launch on Windows 7

[Slyph]

Hello everybody,

I tried launching a Borg but only got at the execution :

"Parse error in limits line 43 column 3 : undefined directive ..."

A quick search led me to some post from someone who did have the same problem (line 32 in his case, apparently there was something wrong with the file artifact.txt).

I would be grateful of any help!

Help us to help you:

- which version of Angband are you using? (shift-v)
- where did you get it from? (post the link so we can try that version)
- did you compile it yourself? just unzip it? some kind of package installer?

- did the borg come with it?
- or did you download, configure and install the borg yourself?
- if the latter, again, where did you get it from? (post the link)

Nothing special, latex version of Angband from rephial.org (3.3.2), bot from

http://www.innovapain.com/borg/angband-320/

I tried the option 1 from the BORGREAD (used the precompiled files), put the BORG.txt in /lib/user and replaced the angband.exe. Did i miss something?

Thank you - the problem is highlighted very clearly in the data you have provided: you are running the 3.2.0 borg with Angband 3.3.2

The solution is to download Angband 3.2.0 and run the borg with that - it should work out of the box.

3.4.0 will ship with the borg built-in, but it won't play quite as well as 3.2.0 because it hasn't kept up with some of the changes. It should work well enough though.

I don't think there is a borg that works with 3.3.2, though I'm not an expert.

That needed a comp reboot, but it now works perfectly. Thank you very much!
12 years since i have known this game, i had no idea such a program (and an active community!) could exist.
